The Biggest Fan?

Alongside all the games included in The First Decade, EALA is including a bonus DVD featuring half a dozen videos and interviews with the team, including Louis Castle, as well as – exceptionally – fan-made videos that EALA has collected through its video competition: “[Are you the world’s biggest Command & Conquer fan?](../wiki/game/The First Decade/press-releases)”

The site’s team simply had to take up the challenge and make a video featuring our webmaster, Tchutch’. We’d also like to thank La Weird Fantasy Prod. for their logistical and personnel support during the filming and editing of this video.

The Filming – Saturday 5 November 2005

The 14-minute shoot (only 3 minutes of which will be used in the final cut) took place in a cheerful atmosphere with plenty of fun and antics. Here are two images that speak louder than any long speech:

Editing the music video – Sunday 6 November 2005

After collecting the rough cut CD filmed the day before, editing could begin. We cut heavily from the footage to produce a mini-film lasting less than 3 minutes.
