DVD of Tiki // Out now! - General Tiki

M Mogambo Tiki Socialite Munich, Germany Joined: Mar 04, 2004 Posts: 184	M Mogambo Posted posted on Sat, Sep 1, 2007 4:23 AM Here is an update on the production of the DVD OF TIKI: The incredible amount and value of all our footage led our editor Schlango (Christian) to a great idea: Instead of cutting a lot of the neat stuff out, we split the content on 2 Volumes. One for the past and one for the present of Tiki. This year we will release Volume I: Paradise Found, which tells the story from the early European explorers to the heyday of Tiki in the 50ies and 60ies. Many of the present day Tiki aficionados help to tell the story. So you will meet cool guys like Sven, Otto, Jeff, Shag etc. already in the first volume. We cover the whole range of topics. The creation of the south seas myth, the origins of tiki, the birth of Polynesian pop, Don and Vic, bars, restaurants, cocktails, carvers, artists, music and so on. Over 100 minutes of amazing tiki material. King Kukulele, who is the official voice of THE DVD OF TIKI, just visited us here in Munich. We did recordings for the narration and recorded two new great songs. The King composed them on the fly will dining at the Trader Vic's in Munich. Late at night we recorded the sweet pieces. Though we had little time it was a blast. Big fun. Thank you Denny for coming and doing the narration and the beautiful songs: "Adventure Land" and "Paradise Lost". In spring/summer 2008 we will add Volume II: Paradise Reloaded. This part is also already at an advanced state, which makes it promising for a close follow up release. Here we cover the revival of Tiki, starting with a few good men who go looking for the lost relicts. Sven Kirsten starts out on his adventure of urban archeology. Otto von Stroheim, Shag, Bosko, Kevin Kidney & Jody Daily and Jeff Berry widen the path until the whole world celebrates tiki again. Here you will meet the who is who of todays Tiki scene. Here you will hear stories about hunting, carving, collecting, friendships, community and the big tiki festivals. Again over 100 minutes of Tiki at its best. On the premiere of the Tiki Modern Festival we will show "Paradise Found (Volume I)". The release of the actual DVD will probably take some more time into October. We underestimated the time and trouble of finding and licensing footage and music from outside sources. We need to have all the legal issues covered before we can give the movie into manufactering. Here is my call: If there is someone here in the Tiki community who is a professional movie producer or has knowledge about footage and licensing research, or negotiating with record companies and TV stations etc., please write us if you would like to help.
