Jonno,

I do have something that might be of interest for this next archive. It's James Cameron's student movie called Xenogenesis. It's a little bit more than 11 minutes and features some ideas that would later appear in Aliens (there's a scene similar to the power loader scene).

Let me know if you're interested. And by the way, I'd be willing to take part in a PIF once the DVD is ready.

Eric

the final cover

This is worth coming out of the woodwork for :)

Well done Jonno, looking forward to seeing it!

Cheers,

mm

Crikey, now I have a lot to live up to! :-)

Ok, I'm burning some copies now to send out to the initial recipients tomorrow. Hope everyone enjoys the disc, and of course feedback would be most welcome.

Cassius76 is on 'wide distribution' duties, so I'll leave him to drop some euphemistic hints when he's ready!

if you need someone to upload to RS, let me know.

That would be great, actually - do you want to PM me your details so I can send you a disc?

I really liked the cover you made for the first three volumes, by the way!

Will there be an NTSC version? :)

Oh boy, I was afraid someone would ask that! ;-)

As with the last disc, I'm sorry but I simply don't have the time to dismantle, convert and rebuild the project myself (it's even more demanding this time, since there are even more elements involved).

I do see we have a guide on this subject right here: http://originaltrilogy.com/forum/topic.cfm/Doctor-Ms-berGuide-for-Full-PAL-to-NTSC-DVD-Conversion/topic/10111/. I haven't looked into it, but if anyone wants to try it for those in NTSC land they have my full blessing (and I'm very happy to supply menu PSDs or anything else that might be useful).

Just got to commend you Ash on all your covers so far, you have a real eye for rare artwork with these (do you have a website for your work at all?).

thanks for the kind words. it becomes more and more difficult to find rare artwork for these covers but I like this promo still for #4. No website sorry.

Thanks Cassius!
