Time-Life has sent us some new information about the Real Ghostbusters DVD Series coming to us in November. We are super excited in how these DVDs are shaping up and will no doubt be completely worth the purchase price! The Firehouse DVD holder will contain several new style "Steelbook" DVD cases that will be super rugged and durable. Andy Mangels the DVD's producer sent us a little blub about the special visual commentaries, as well as several screen shots from the DVD.
"When we were designing what The Real Ghostbusters: The Complete Series would contain for commentaries," says Andy Mangels, the producer of all special content on the DVDs, "my production partner, Reed Kaplan, had an excellent idea. As you'll see from the following pictures, the commentaries are an immersive visual experience. Participants were filmed with two cameras and headset microphones, enabling them to converse freely with each other while viewing the episode. Reed designed the screen so that there are four constantly moving elements: two 'panels' with the commentary participants are at the top, while the lower right corner has the episode playing in realtime. The background of the widescreen image is also the episode playing, in a highly blurred fashion, essentially adding moving wallpaper. Finally, at the lower middle of the screen is a slideshow from each episode, which changes at least once per minute. We think that the Visual Commentary package looks stupendous, and it will be interesting for fans to be voyeurs to the process of creating the commentaries as they watch the people who created the series, who are in turn, watching their creation and sharing fascinating behind-the-scenes stories!"
