You have a rule for that.
What good is a rule if it isn't followed?

Then of course OCP is a well respected member here, so maybe rules don't apply for him in a way they do for others.


I participate in a great deal of live music trading and just recently discovered the fanedit world. What makes collecting and enjoying these things are the hunt and the creative skill that goes into the artwork and the cut or the mix. people invest time into these projects because they love the project and the original product be a song or a movie. I have a very strong respect for the creative arts and would never wish to step on them on purpose.

I asked him about his releases and when I saw that he was charging for more than just the disc and the price of mailling it, I ended communications with him.

My feeling is it's a rule - it can be a time limit punishment - since he is a respected member. But over all if exceptions are started then exceptions will be expected.

Riiight. I'm clearly raking in millions from this, and lord knows I've never sent out any free discs at all, certainly not hundreds of them for the Thief project. You know how much those dual layer Star Wars 2.0 discs cost? And for every one I burned I had five bad burns I had to throw away ..... lord knows why but it cost a fortune. Oh, and in case you hadn't noticed, I'm HOMELESS right now, so hey, wow, I must have really made some profit there.

I could "out" most of the people I know well here for asking to be logically reimbursed for their time and energy in what is a time consuming and costly practice. I count time as money too.

If I'm a greedy profiteer, you're Wonder Woman.

I'm sorry. I'm behind OCP all the way on this one. Leave the poor guy alone! He's having a rough time at the moment. Go Pick on someone else who deserves it!

And, please correct me if I'm wrong. OCP does not advertise or sell on this forum. Which is against the rules.. which he has not broken..

At the end of the day.. it seems like the people that have brought this fuss up are the ones that are used to getting stuff for free. If they get a whiff of any old story of someone.. good god.. CHARGING for postage or blanks or time..! Well......

I give you that, Cassius, he has NOT asked here and I do agree that there is a difference. I know others who do the same thing and don't get banned.
So, I reconsider my position. I think OCP should not be banned, because he did not break a forum rule. If he says here: FANEDITS FOR SALE. Then it would be clear. Crystal. But it's not. And I am sure he never will. Sorry, OCP.

But my position stands that selling fanedits is a bad thing and I just don't care about your expenses as long as you try to cover them with selling fanedits. Still you are a bootlegger. No doubt about that.

Nothing about fanediting is easy.

Did you ever figure out why you were burning so many coasters? I've only had one bad DL burn in the last year, and it was because I was trying to use way too many resources while it was burning. I had After Effects open and CCE encoding a video. Also, I can't remember the site, but you should be able to look up your burner to see what media burns best with it.

No, I didn't figure it out. It started happening when I reauthored the dual layer disc to be completely full of data - I guess it would just crap out after a while. The discs took forever to burn.

You can go about your business. Move along, move along.

I'm back here in Los Angeles, living right down the street from where I was living before. I tried to move all the way across the country but only moved all the way across the street. Sadly the $1000 or more I (and others) spent for my unsuccessful attempt to move to Connecticut is money I'll never be able to get back. In fact, I still have to pay some bills from that move .... I have no idea how I'm going to be able to make it here when I couldn't before, now with even more bills to pay. My Uncle Bruce has pledged his support and we'll see how that goes. It's going to be hard but I feel it was the right thing to do, moving back. Giving L.A. another shot.

I'm already casting for my next movie, an insanely epic and amazing superhero comic adaptation that I can't possibly afford to film the way it should be filmed. Typical Garrett, you say with a chuckle. Or just think I'm crazy. Either will do.

If there are any people out there who do 3d animation and would be interested in working on effects for a film based on a popular superhero, please let me know ... or also anyone who dresses up as a superhero for any comic conventions and has their own costume - particularly Marvel superheroes, and particularly anyone in the Los Angeles area.

I still lack internet and a proper phone. The costs of cell phones are frightening to me, not sure why people pay that much. But I guess I have to get one, since the phone I'm using lacks long distance. I've been using a calling card.

I'm trying to catch up on back emails now. When I have more time I will post at my FFrevolution.com/InvisionBoard blog and tell the story of my My Name Is Earl audition. I don't think I got it, but that doesn't change my feeling that I was right not to move.

It's freezing cold in the apartment for some reason. There's no heating as far as I can tell. It's hot outside, but cold inside.

But I think a lot better when it's cold. I'm much more likely to write. I'm miserable when it's cold, but my brain works a lot better. Shades of having grown up in Connecticut. When it gets warmer, I lose some of my ability to think.

So yesterday, in an apartment without internet, I just wrote all day. I wrote and wrote and wrote, completing most of the first part of my She-Hulk screenplay. Almost enough material for a feature film, completed in one day.

I've realized that the She-Hulk story I'm intending to tell is long enough to fill two movies. The first being an origin story, the second taking us up to date with her current comic series. I had hoped to tell the origin story very quickly and get into the other stuff, but the origin story I wrote is long enough for its own film.

So hey. Why not?

The whole She-Hulk story would probably be impossible to shoot myself, unless I came into some money .... or even if I did come into some money. With "both" movies, if it really is two movies, it's a lot of material, with a lot of effects. However, I know I could pick a particular section ("episode") out of the longer script I'm writing and film that. As with my other scripts, I'm writing TV-style, and every half-hour or hour seems to be its own storyline.

It has come to our attention that ocpmovie has been selling his DVDs for profit for quite a while. Initially, we thought that this was only a one-time thing. However, we've learned that he's been doing this for a long time. And not only is he selling his stuff, but also other people's stuff including just about every preservation and fan edit on this board as well as countless copyrighted DVDs. A few people have commented to me that they're surprised we didn't know about this already.

Let this put to rest any sort of rumor that the rules do not apply to certain people. If you are breaking the rules and we find out about it, you're gone. End of story.
