I'm back from my trip down the West Coast where we captured some great interviews on my vacation from work. On Monday, Francis Chung agreed to spend some time in front of the camera. If your interested in the story behind the creation of the first Seburo gun check out the footage blog.

http://www.idealworldmovie.com/footage/

I'll be posting a new clip from the documentary every week so stay tuned.

Great stuff! It's very cool to see the faces and hear the voices behind the AV's. Keep up the good work!

You have no idea how much I had been waiting for this. It's like the interview of the century. There's a Pullitzer in this :D

A great piece of work Pierce. I already knew what a wonderful, talented person Francis is and Neil also. But I think it's time to return Francis. Vacation is over so get your butt back here! I miss playing test dummy with you!

Great interview, and great to hear the origins of the Seburo. Even I have one, and I hate guns! :)

Cubey,

Glad you liked it. Any chance we could come up and interview you?

It was great to hear how the Seburo came about, and funny to hear how the two would fight for hours. Good job on the piece, Pierce.

Awesome interview! Wow. Pierce, you should bring your equipment to NYC and attend the SL User's Conference. I bet you could get some interviews for your documentary there!

I love the story about the shell casing argument.

You rock, Francis. So cool to see the genuine pleasure you took from creating such a high quality product. You've earned the reputation! Thanks for being an inspiration to all budding SL entrepreneurs.

I can't wait to see more of these. :)
