Just a couple thoughts. This teaser is meant to give you an overall view of what TS4 is about in terms of insane footage and fun riding. Believe me when I say, THUNDERSTRUCK 4 has TONS of personality. You’ll get to know riders better, get to know sponsors better, get to know everything about us better. It is a VERY fun movie. I tried to cross TS3 and TS3.5 styles and I think it has really molded itself into a prize-worthy film. The footage is insane. Period. I did this teaser (special thanks to Jeff Aiello for the graphics) in about 10 minutes today. It was very easy to grab great shots because there are many.
The final movie should be almost and HOUR AND A HALF long. That’s a far cry from our last 4 films, which were all around 1 hour. I did not leave in ANY stuff I deem boring. Politics, sponsors and friendships dictate some of what goes into TS4, but it is all great stuff. There will also be TONS of extras, making the entire DVD full of over 2 hours of footage.
And thank you very much for all the love, friendship and support you have shown Melisse, Brooklyn and I in our trying time. Juggling a wife, an ICU baby, a dog, 2 jobs, and fishing season has been an absolute ball.
Prepare for our premiere season and hopefully we’ll see you all at one of them. And you heard it here first. Thunderstruck 4.5 production has begun. It will be a very limited release film but will smooth out the carnage and breath-lessness left by TS4. Hopefully, we’ll wrap duplication in mid-fall! So watch for it!
