INSTRUCTIONS FOR VIEWING:

1)   Put the DVD in your player and for the first viewing select PLAY ALL from the main DVD menu. Do not skip to the Feature yet, watch the Prelude first- it’s there for a reason.

2)    After the conclusion of the main feature, watch past all of the credits - there’s a fun and interesting surprise at the end of the credits.

3)    Next select The E and C Show from the main menu and watch this—this is like an intellectual coda, or desert (with whipped cream and a cherry) after the main film. It’s for the Mammal Brain portion of your brain.

4)    The DVD contains BONUS ADVENTURE Features that consist of 3 alternative audio commentary tracks to the film, as well as an entire 45 minute DVD audio book. You may access these by clicking on “Bonus Adventures” from the main DVD menu. (Use your player’s “Menu” button to get to the main menu at any time.)

A)           From The Bonus Adventures Menu, select “2 Different Mirror Commentaries”, THEN ADDITIONALLY, use the AUDIO button on your DVD player’s remote control to switch to audio channels/track 2 or 4, for different commentaries for the film, and watch the main Mirror feature again with these completely different narrations and explanations. Some players may require you to go to the player’s own Menu to change the audio track. (Please see your DVD players operating manual or get a geek to help you with this. J

B)           Then, from The Bonus Adventures Menu, select “Fun With Fred Commentary” THEN ADDITIONALLY, use the AUDIO button on your DVD player’s remote control (or the player’s menu) to switch to audio channel/track 5, and this will provide commentary to the Prelude, and the beginning portion of Mirror as well.

C)          You may also simply switch audio tracks at any portion of the film by using the audio button on your remote, or changing the audio through your DVD players own MENU function. (Please see your DVD players operating manual or get a geek to help you with this. J

MORE ABOUT THE FILM, below...

An Amazing Brain Adventure is a stimulating puzzle and a riddle for your frontal lobes. It is not pre-digested commercial glop.

The secrets of the film are revealed and will delightfully tickle your own amygdala—if you simply tap into your infinite brain potential, waiting inside your cranium. This film will not do your thinking for you; It will, however, reflect the reality between your ears, lazy or not. Connect the dots, and you will be rewarded.

The story is deceptively simple- but don’t be fooled. An Amazing Brain Adventure is  deep multi-dimensional story, sight, and music- all equally important.

Every scene has lots in it, but there is no shooting, looting, or car crashes. An Amazing Brain Adventure is a thought provoking trip as opposed to mere mindless head banging. It is a painting that moves; a symphony of sights and sounds; a koan that reflects both your expectations and the unknown. It demonstrates, but it also asks questions.

The main feature, Mirror, is a highly VISUAL adventure- most of the human brain involves non-verbal processes, so watch carefully. This is a key element to the meaning of Mirror and the rest of the film; You cannot explain everything in words. Haven’t we already heard enough advice already? A good picture and a good piece of music are worth a million words.

Every scene has lots in it; blink and you'll miss something. Figure out what it reflects for you. That will be the biggest reward; when you look into the mirror of your own mind and brain for meaning and relevance. Watch the film without the commentary, then view again and listen to the commentary audio tracks for another perspective- you'll be amazed at what you discover you may have missed and what others see. Watch it with friends for a big collective intelligence frontal lobes brain blast.
