Hi. I'll attempt to be short and sweet (at least short).
We have a video clip ready from our new One Young Laugher movie. We do not however (at this time) have a sufficient server to allow everyone to downloaded the clip.
Why not put it on realtickling.com's servers you say?
Total crippling of our website! For those of you who don't comprehend the numbers, we are quite certain that no less than 1500 people would download the clip within its first 24 hours. And we're thrilled about that! It means people love what we make. But that's 4.5 Gigabytes of bandwidth! It would cripple the pages on our site where people browse videos and order. So we can't do that, sorry.
Here is what we'd like to do for now.
Divide into groups and directly email the clip to you. First group will be folks that have ordered videos from us in the past. We feel this group should probably be first in line for obvious reasons. So if you've ever ordered a VHS video from us in the past and would like the 3MB MPG clip emailed to you, then email us now at [email protected] and request it. (it MUST be an email address that can receive 3MB files! Yahoo, Hotmail, freemail, etc, will not work!)
Everyone who wants one will get the file. We just can't handle 1500 emails on the first 2 days. And we are still searching for a server that will fill the need of having everyone "self download" the clip at your leisure. That is the easiest way for us too! It's not easy to maually type in and send to 100's of email addresses per hour. And heck, if anyone wants to help spread the MPG file, be our guest! Once you have it, feel free to email it to whoever asks you for it. We want everyone to get to see it.
Thank you.
