IMO, waste of time & DVD space. I'm not for interactivity in entertainment. The director should always have the final cut. If people are not happy with the angles, they should make their own movies.

It depends. Vivid hurt the multiple angle feature more than everybody else put together with their mangled movies over the first few years of DVD. Done right, I think they can be a great feature. In orgy scenes, I'd love to have multiple angles present so that you could focus on one specific couple or grouping, or just to move around the group more. Large orgy scenes always seem to suffer from jumping around too much and not showing enough, and multiple angles would seem like a great way to move past that problem. Director and editor's nightmare? Probably, but it could make for a great scene and disc.

The feedback we get on the multi-angle bonus feature on Marie and Jack: A Hardcore Love Story has been extremely positve. Aside from the fun that people seem to have with it, we have a lot of people tell us how much it has increased their appreciation of the editor's craft.

DVDs are so freakin' capacious, there's no reason one can't give the audience both the director's cut, and the chance to amuse themselves with a multi-angle trinket, or other alternative presentation of the material. In fact, there are a couple of other iterations I may add if we re-master M&J.

I'd especially like to do a GB scene with eight cameras (one for each track).
