NIN crowd sources concert film with 400GB of raw HD footage

NIN Lights in the Sky
When NIN was forced to abandon its film plans for Lights in the Sky, we thought the already-filmed parts were headed for the wrong can, but Trent Reznor has decided to break from the "take my ball and go home" attitude by putting the footage up online. Opening up a public domain wellspring for fans to create some great content, the 400GB of unedited HD data from three shows (Victoria, Portland and Sacramento) is available as a torrent. Don't fire up that download just yet -- Reznor warns that beyond the drive-crushing size of the content, this is totaly unproduced and not really the sort of thing for casual viewers seeking a finished product. For those of you with serious editing rigs and a yen for film production, clear off some space on the RAID and hit the link for torrent details.

NIN begrudgingly pulls the plug on 3D film tour


Man, talk about a buzzkill. Trent Reznor himself has come forward on his official website to announce that there will be no 3D tour film as previously planned. Much like what happened in the heralded U23D, Nine Inch Nails had planned to film a show in 3D with James Cameron's team for a theatrical release as well as eventual release on DVD / Blu-ray, but unfortunately, an unnamed record company pulled the rug out from under the plan at the last moment -- or, that's Trent's side of the story, anyway. On top of that disappointment, we're also told that the current North American tour is likely "the final tour for NIN on this scale." We can hear the collective weeping from here.

NIN Live: With Teeth tour is (not) first music DVD, HD DVD & Blu-ray release

Nine Inch Nail's 2005-2006 "Live: With Teeth" tour has finally set a date to come home on DVD, Blu-ray and HD DVD, February 27, and is proudly proclaiming by its press release as the first music DVD to hit all three at once. Unfortunately it appears that Trent Reznor and crew have been somewhat pwned by Eagle Rock Entertainment and The Pat Metheny Group who did the triple-release music DVD thing way back in October of 2006, who only made their debut after The Lake House hit the trifecta in September. Still, NIN fans should be excited to get the disc on any format they choose, or check it out early at any of a number of listening parties scheduled around the country.

NIN rocking out both HD DVD and Blu-ray

No matter what side of the high-def media battle line you are on, Nine Inch Nails has you covered with their first high-def concert disc. Nine Inch Nails Live: Beside You In Time is set to hit both HD DVD along with Blu-ray sometime in the first quarter of '07 and features two live shows shot in glorious 1080p. We don't have an exact release data nor pricing but the one thing that we are sure about is this is what Debbie Block from eMediaLive was talking about when she predicted that the music industries fate was in the hands of high-def media producers. The music industry needs to jump on board of these high-def formats in order to appeal to the "at-home" music listeners by combining high-quality music with outstanding video quality. The iPod already has the mobile crowd jammin' to low-quality music abroad but the home may still prove to be a profitable market and if you ask us, we love the idea of high-quality audio and video all mixed up in some sick synergy of killer music.
