We Are the Speechless

It's hard to know where to begin. The last year that we've been releasing episodes for Pedal, people have said some really fantastic things to us, everyone has been very encouraging and supportive. The episodes have helped us gain a wider audience, and better define the project we are making.

The seven months between episode 5 and episode 6, went by both very fast, and very slow at the same time. It was difficult to find the right place to start talking about the production, about the tone and where to end off, where exactly we were heading with them. We're very excited about the production related episodes we have coming, which will all be under the sub-name of '64 Days'.

I wanted to share just a few reactions to ep6 here from several different sites, including vimeo, youtube, and twitter. These comments mean the world to us - we would not be able to continue doing this without support like this:

From Patrick Moberg, "I watched this during my lunch today.

It was one of the most engaging, interesting, and memory provoking pieces of content I've consumed in a while.

I'm your newest fan."

From Eric, "you know how one of your catch phrases is saying "that's.... (long pause) awesome!" yes mike. yes it is awesome. this can't possibly be anything less than beautifully brilliant when you're done. it will be worth all the sleepless nights. im proud of you. <3 eric."

From Dan, "Awesome! I can't believe how good that looks, Mike. I can't wait to see the rest!"

From Tiff, "I am so looking forward to seeing Pedal. From the beginning I was able to feel your passion and is has not died away. This looks so good and it just encourages me. You and Manda should be proud."

From Steve Garfield, " This video proves that high quality independent video production exits on the web..."

From Zadi, "What I've seen so far is beautiful, layered and rich. I can't wait to see the entire film once its finished."


I also wanted to share a bulletin that Larry posted about this episode:
"As Always, thanks for watching this. And supporting the Project.

Mike and Amanda appreciate it. And so do I. These people bled, laughed, cried, screamed, and helped me make these ; a preview of my fondest memories."
Larry was always very poetic in the way he spoke - and I found his description of production very fitting. It was... by far... the most difficult thing we've ever done. And again, I don't know if we would have gotten through it without you.
