SET DIFFERENT THAN YEARS PAST
The live production in Brazil at the time of the event in May of 2003 was done by a separate company that produced the DVDs, and their emphasis was the TV broadcast. 'The live event was taped with an emphasis on the TV mat, the middle mat.' states spokesman Miguel Iturrate. 'The matches on the side mats were taped on a lower format, and cannot be released as part of the set. This loss was inevitable, and attempts to get additional footage from Brazil have failed. As a results, the set is almost 1/2 the price it has been in years past, and it does feature the best action and best production we have ever done.'
The set has sold as high as $200 in past years. 'It is on presale for $90 makes this a great buy anyway.'
'The poor SUPERVHS quality footage may see the light of day as 'BONUS' material on future DVDs, but it is not really usable as part of the set.' concludes the spokeman."
cool,
I'd love to see the bonus dvd with the lower quality footage.
Many would buy that DVD as well. I would.

I wil lsay here what I cant say in a press release -
The main thing with the SUPERVHS is that the cameraman really seemed to not care, and the are on autofocus, or they dont zoom in and you have a big white mat space and 2 little fighters fighting....
It also had really poor lighting, so when the 'BONUS' footage comes out, it may be parts of matches, sequences and things. It is that messed up.
The Brazilian crew had 2 requirements from ADCC:
- TV coverage and event on TV.
- Tape the WHOLE thing.
The tape the whole thing became SUPERVHS amateurs on the stuff that thge TV crew didnt cover.
Just too many logisitical battles to fight to get it right the first time on the road.... It sux for the fighters mainly.

boo
Miguel,
The complete footage of the side matches would be an
interesting video to have, even if some of the footage is crap.
The crappy footage is better than nothing, so you might as
well add it to the Bonus DVD. People will understand, and
will probably want the full unedited version no matter how
bad it is.
