I'm not even a big NIN fan but this is insane.

Lights In The Sky HD Footage Downloads!

Your gift...

The internet is full of surprises these days.
I was contacted by a mysterious, shadowy group of subversives who SOMEHOW managed to film a substantial amount (over 400 GB!) of raw, unedited HD footage from three separate complete shows of our Lights in the Sky tour. Security must have been lacking at these shows because the quality of the footage is excellent.

If any of you could find a LINK to that footage I'll bet some enterprising fans could assemble something pretty cool.

Oh yeah, you didn't hear this from me.

There is about 405gb of HD footage available. It was recorded with multiple consumer HDV cameras during three shows: Victoria 12.05.08, Portland 12.07.08, and Sacramento 12.12.08.

This is raw, unedited, un-color-corrected HD footage. It will be primarily of interest to advanced users, who may wish to attempt to edit it together into something. It could be really interesting to see what creative users can put together using this and other fan-recorded footage. These guys are off to a great start already.

Novice users might not want to download this just yet. If you don't have a fast computer for playing back high definition video, or hundreds of gigabytes of storage available to save it to, this download will probably cause you nothing but problems. If you just want to see some live footage, you might be better off waiting until more advanced users get the footage and turn it into something more digestible for the masses. I'm sure a lot of this stuff will be turning up on YouTube as soon as people get it downloaded.

The footage is available as a free download via bitTorrent. If you don't know what bitTorrent is, please go to this link and read every word of it before you ask anyone on the forums what to do with the torrent files.

As the files are tremendously large, don't expect any instant gratification - the download may take days, even weeks. There are a handful of seeders to start things off. Until we get a large number of seeders, please only download these files right now if you intend to help seed them for a while after you're done. Certain downloaders will get much faster download rates than others, depending on your IP address. This is due to peering relationships our hosting provider has which we're utilizing to get some initial seeds out as fast as possible. If your download is going incredibly slow or not going at all, don't worry, it'll pick up within the next couple days.

wow

i'm not even a NIN fan at all, but that's mega-kewl of him and everything

DeToxRox · 01-07-2009, 09:57 PM

Yeah, I think this is amazing stuff. Totally bad ass.

ISiddiqui · 01-07-2009, 10:01 PM

Trent Reznor is awesome.

Even if I didn't like NIN, I'd be in awe of their open approach.

MikeVic · 01-07-2009, 10:23 PM

That's cool!

DanGarion · 01-07-2009, 10:25 PM

But it all makes too much sense, how could this be!?!?!?

JetsIn06 · 01-08-2009, 12:10 AM

FUCK YEA.

This is ridiculously awesome. I'm downloading one of the videos from one of the shows, which is only 7 GB.

I'm so happy right now.

Can't wait to see what the video editing fans out there put together.

Maple Leafs · 01-08-2009, 12:13 PM

Sweet. Can't wait to see what some of the fans come up with.

For those who think this is cool (which it is), Reznor has been releasing all his new music in a format that allows users to separate out the various sounds and effects for easy remixing. There's an entire web site of nothing but fan remixes of his new stuff (legal) and old stuff (semi-legal but he doesn't seem to mind).

Can't wait for Kysrup to drop by to explain why none of this matters because he, personally, stopped buying NIN albums in 1994.

sterlingice · 01-08-2009, 12:28 PM

Is he still numbering all the NIN albums as "Halo (number)"? I was silly and like to collect things so it got me to buy singles that I wouldn't have otherwise and I have Halos 1-10 (PHM is 2, Broken/Fixed are 5/6, Downward Spiral 8...)

SI

I don't care for NIN music but I absolutely love the fact that Trent Reznor is embracing new distribution methods and giving his fans so much interaction with his music.

And for some reason, I had Pretty Hate Machine as PHC in my above post. Not sure what that was all about. Great album, tho
