Volume 3 Update January 7, 2015

Robert Simon and Dean Fredericks in episode #8, "Pilot Error", behind the scenes publicity photo taken on Friday, August 29, 1958 on Universal Studios Stage #8, "VOQ Set". Note stage lights at top, no ceiling! Pilot Error can be seen on The Complete Steve Canyon On DVD Volume #1.

Here's the actual description from the back of this publicity photo from Pegasus Productions.

Work Progressing...

Pushed myself a little too hard towards finishing V3 (with no breaks over the last two months) and caught a nasty bug (which nearly put me in the hospital). Still, I planned to post this last weekend but moving slower on everything (including things NOT related to Steve Canyon). SO... continuing last of the cleaning on the pilot and finishing the documentaries... now planned to have the final files transmitted to the factory by early next week, and then shipped asap (once DVDs are back from the factory) in mid January to everyone that pre-ordered.

Have also been setting up for the "big shipping days", changing a few procedural things, updating shipping addresses for pre-orderers that have changed,  and ordering some new specialized shipping supplies. We are also having to change the copyright notices on the packaging and on the DVDs themselves indicating a 2015 release; Johann Mitchell is changing the DVD cover art files and I am in the middle of changing the copyrights on the videos themselves and re-authoring Disc 1 and correcting Disc 2 (which will be authored just prior to transmitting to the factory). Things are looking good!

Be sure to read to the end of this post as it concerns shipping and details important to those who have pre-ordered Volume #3!

I've been opting to keep working on V3…but I have thrown together a rough little video here that I hope everyone will enjoy!

Here's a taste of some of the documentary content on Volume 3:

.

Preview Promo for the Steve Canyon Documentary on the upcoming final 3rd volume of The Complete Steve Canyon On TV DVD set, includes selected interview segments with Lance Hickman, A. Love, Bob Burns, Abel Fernandez, Patrick McClung, Arthur Marks, Jan Paulshus, James Farmer, Dean Hess and Stephen Hickman. More appear on the final DVD than this (which is a sampling of some of the comments and people). Includes photography by Michael McMaster, Laura Lozano and Thomas Swyden.

Hope you enjoy the clips in this, getting to see the faces and hear the voices of some of the people you been reading about for the last 8 years!
