Progress is still coming along on the Artists’ Essentials DVD. By the end of this week, we will have a sampler DVD sent off to the duplicators. We plan to hand out this sampler to anyone who visits Donna’s booth at the bi-annual pastel expo she is demoing at in May.

Here’s another tasty tidbit for you: A rather large (16MB) video file that demonstrates the introduction and opening menu design for the first DVD. I put this together myself in about 4 hours last Saturday afternoon using Apple’s “Motion”:http://www.apple.com/finalcutstudio/motion/ software.
