240 - An Aconcagua Odyssey (teaser trailer now available)

As I type, the teaser trailer of the new movie is being uploaded to YouTube, it should be available sometime Sunday. Yes, I am excited to actually see some form take shape of the vision bouncing around in my head. (note: as of this writing the quality is still HORRIBLE! YouTube says it is still processing the video, so I expect that HD viewing ability will be available later tonight or tomorrow. Honestly, the quality is fantastic on the computer/tv, and will be great in the theater.)

It is still very much a work in progress; in actuality up to now, I wasn’t sure it was going to take off in any reasonable amount of time. What with work, school, life, not to mention computers dying, buying new computers, pulling hair out trying to even view the video let along edit it, etc, etc, blah, blah, blah. Nonetheless, it looks like things are moving forward with the rest of the team stirring up the creative pot. Still much to do in the way of interviews and cobbling together the right clips, but I think it will be good. Also waiting on video to come in from our friends we made on the mountain. As you all know, we didn’t reach the summit; they however, did. So I figure we can get some summit footage from them to include. Hopefully that comes soon. Also still cobbling together pieces of information of the tragic events while we were up there, and hope to include a decent synopsis of things.

Lastly, as I know I’ll get the question, the title stems from my journal prior to the trip. Once I knew I was going on this trip and began writing about it, it was 240 days before we left. That would be 1 May 2008. I thought it made a fitting title. Let me know what you think. I’ll try and allow comments on here, but you’ll have to create an account which I’ll approve. So if you want to leave comments directly here, make sure you sign up with your real name so I recognize who to allow access.
