DVD featuring visual commentary, which melds the director's commentary with the production documentary using the multi-angle capabilty of the DVD

This creative project consists of a short fiction film which is finished on DVD and features a full length video commentary. The video commentary is an invention of my own which utilizes an often overlooked element of DVD technology, the multi-angle ability, to effectively merge two of the most popular features of modern motion picture DVD releases: the director's commentary and the production documentary. The disk actually contains two tracks of video, each of identical length. One is the film; the other is a documentary on the making of the film, with certain sections that correspond in real time with events in the film. The user has the ability to switch between tracks at anytime for comparison. This to my knowledge has never been done before, and because of the enormous popularity of the DVD and these features, may find widespread application. This project, while only an exploration of its potential, shows that the idea has feasibility and legitimacy. / Department of Telecommunications
