Final touches…

Depleted: Day 419Hey folks,

As we have now finished the last touches on the Master version of Day 419, I wanted to do a more official announcement about release and how it will come out.

The pre-release date of Monday, the 17th, will allow fans to see the film in its entirety and in HD early for a $1.99 rental fee.  (Folks who choose to rent it will get a surprise bonus!)

Starting on the 22nd, we will begin making the film available on the World of Depleted YouTube page in a serial fashion.  Once a week, for four weeks, a new episode will be released.  In addition, each week, we’ll have a new podcast with behind-the-scenes information about the making of the film to go along with it.  For folks who want to purchase the Day 419 DVD, it will be released in the near future, and will include a number of special bonuses for fans of the franchise!

I appreciate all your support, both in the making of this World and in the making of this film!  We, at Viking, look forward to new ways we can help you explore new elements in Depleted!

-Jeremy Hanke
Day 419, Writer/Director

The Final Master Session of Day 419 Now Completed…

Yesterday, the final editorial viewing of Day 419 occurred with score composer David Todd Singleton at Oakwood Sound Design.  Final corrections were made on the mix based on his comments and two additional elements will be created by Singleton by Friday.  At that point, the last touches to the Master will be completed and the film will be finished.  According to insiders, the current distribution plan appears to be a serial one, with the short being broken into its five main progressive parts which will be released once a week for five weeks.  For those who do not wish to wait until all five episodes are released, there will be a rental option for $1.99 to check it out ahead of time or the option to purchase the DVD and get a higher quality version than can be currently supported online.    No word has yet been released on what the special features on the DVD will be, although there have been rumors that there may be special training on how to defend your life in the violence of the Fall.
