"This is how we roll" RMC Documentary

[Whombex]

Here's the trailer for the documentary on Rocky Mountain Construction, to premiere on Vimeo in October:

RMC are in a league of their own recently. I hope we can get an RMC coaster out here some day.

Just to be clear, you will have to pay to watch the documentary. $7 USD for a pre-order I believe, with the price increasaing when it officially releases. It can be rented for cheaper however.

Yep to preorder it works out ~$10 to rent and ~$16 to buy in AUD.

Twitter was having a meltdown the other day about it costing money rather than being free on YouTube as before the trailer launched it hadn't been mentioned as anything other than a YouTube video. With expected ad revenue in the Niche if he can get 1 in 1,000 people who would watch to instead buy he will come out around even compared to a YouTube upload, anything more will be more than he would expect to make on YouTube. The budget would have been much higher for this than a regular YouTube video so it makes sense.

While I don't usually watch Coaster Studios videos this one looks to be a great watch and at least is actually available in Aus unlike closed for Storm...

After all the hype, and buildup, and delays, that was the biggest disappointment. #brightsunfilms

Torrented Closed for Storm, but wasn't amazing, wouldve just prefered a normal BSF video on it instead tbh. I will watch (not pay for though) This is how we Roll, but dont expect great things considering its Taylor from Coaster Studios and hes such a brat, and I have little confidence in his ability to properly put together a documentary. Any interviews with Shilke and Grubb im interested in listeing to though!

I'm both disconcerted and disappointed that you're openly talking about stealing other people's work.

I watched the trailer for "This is how we Roll" and preordered it for two reasons: it looks like something I will enjoy, and I want to support a project that by all accounts has been a great deal of work over an extended period.

Perhaps I shouldn't be surprised; I've been getting harsh feedback because I have the audacity to charge $0.99 for a version of Solitaire I developed for iPhone :/

YoU wOuLdN't StEaL a CaR...

I've no interest in paying for the RMC doco so I just won't see it... I am keen for the BSF \ CFS doco though, and am happy to pay an Australian distributor when it is released here. I'll wait in the meantime.

But 99c (USD no doubt!) for solitaire? Man - what a monster you are!

I actually see it as much worse than watching a rip-off copy of a Hollywood blockbuster.

I can't imagine he's going to sell more than a few hundred copies at best; a RMC documentary is of niche interest after all. Personally I'd like to see him making a reasonable profit that he can then invest back into producing other material of interest to theme park enthusiasts.

I agree. Sorry if that wasn't how it came across.

Im in the camp that it's either that or I won't watch it, and I feel I have delivered the guy enough Youtube Premium and Adsense revenue to justify my support. Its 2021 support who you wanna support but don't expect money for inferior (likely) work. In all honestly he probably would make more uploading it to Youtube and getting the adsense from it. 

[DaptoFunlandGuy]

"I watched ads on your other videos, so I should get all your videos for free forever!"

Yeah. Ok Karen.

So let me understand what you're saying –  you think it's okay to steal something you haven't because it's "likely" to be inferior?

Wow. Just wow.

If you have watched every single one of his over 2,000 videos once congratulations you've probably given him about $15USD in Adsense, such great "support" though with YouTube Premium it could easily be a lot less.

Just saw this from coaster studios. Not a fan of the guy but they've premiered the doco.

I've watched Closed for Storm legally, i own the bluray of the film and bought it off Amazon a month ago. Wanted to support Bright Sun, a channel that's been an inspiration to me for many years, by buying the film. I thought it was good and provided a cool perspective on Six Flags New Orleans. I haven't watched the Coaster Studios documentary yet but will again watch it legally.

Nice try on the 'I paid a few bucks in ad revenue over the years and therefore can do whatever I want with pirating a small channel's content' argument. As a fellow content creator who has made videos on our parks like @MrLukeCarroll I feel this take is just spitting in our faces, sorry to say. Ad revenue is so minimal these days you can hardly live off it and as said by other people, piracy screws over small-medium content creators the most when I am in the middle of producing a big project myself that has costed me thousands of dollars to make. God forbid I make someone pay a few bucks to watch a film that I spent heaps of time, effort and money on. What a laughable line of argument.

Yep 100%, and you can guarantee it's the same type of person who will complain about having to watch ads on videos and then complain again when creators stop making videos as their return on investment (Time & Money) is no longer there.

Most content creators don't go into it to make money but it sure helps you create more content...

[Noxegon]

As a data point, a short video I made last year cost me almost €400.

Not that I mind, though – it was a fun project, especially since I got to have a go in a real DeLorean

Update – I've just watched it. It's worth paying for.
