Thanks, Guys! :)

Just wanted to give a quick update and say that the movie is finished, everything turned out great. I'm really, really pleased with it. And now I just have to learn how to author a DVD. I experimented with creating menus today. So, I'm gonna keep working on it.

Two things:

1) Need to know if anyone is interested in creating a DVD cover for this.

2) Need to know if anyone is interested in starting a PIF chain.

Let me know...

Thanks,

--ID

I'll help out with a PiF chain. Gladly.

Cool!

I'll let you know when it's ready.

I can also upload this to rapidshare if you are looking for someone for that

are you still releasing this as a torrent? cant wait to see it!

Yes. And I download torrents all the time, but I've never actually submitted one. So, I hope that goes smoothly. :) It's funny, as many years as I've been on these boards and working on Star Wars, I've never gotten to the point of actually releasing something. It's like making it to the next level of a video game. Haha...

Now I have to figure out how to do all this.

I'm thinking about releasing an XVID first.

More in terms of completing the video game I guess and knowing the great feeling of accomplishing a great task? Or more due to the fact all the projects are one huge video game and thereby completing a certain level said one is finished?
At least you're working on this project with the OAR version so that's what matters most.
What you should do is watch GUNGA DIN and Temple of Doom back to back if need be. Therefore if the need arises you can change this fan edit more to reflect the films. If you want to of course. Maybe have Temple of Doom feel more like an actual sequel or something? It does already in the tonality and everything.
Hell, just watch GUNGA DIN. It's a great 1939 film.

My goal for this project is to compliment Raiders. Not Gunga Din.

Doing what you're suggesting, DarkGryphon, would be like editing Star Wars to compliment The Wizard of Oz.

If you've done some research about it, it was one of the films which heavily influenced and inspired Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. Don't believe me? Buy or borrow The Complete Making of Indiana Jones book. I bought the Oversize/Coffee Table book and it's a great read.
ToD already compliments Gunga Din to some extent. There's even a throwaway line in the dinner scene which harkens the events of Gunga Din.
Could also be my obsession for older films too? Never entirely know.

My suggestion anyway InfoDroid is to watch Gunga Din and then ToD back-to-back. Don't even need to have each other compliment theirselves. Just an excuse to watch Gunga Din.

*shakes head*

poor infodroid was just trying to make this edit between projects, and now look where its getting him.:P

Interesting tactic: repeatedly state that the faneditor is doing something pointless, then ask him to do an edit of something *you* would like to see.


IMO, Raiders of the Lost Ark should NOT be retitled to add "Indiana Jones and the..." because Indy himself is one of the raiders. He's after the ark too, he just has better motives for acquiring it.

True, the film itself wasn't retitled as was the DVD case, I'm pretty sure the DVD menu screen titles it "IJatRotLA"? While I can make my own cover easily, I can't easily replace the menu screen. And honestly, that's why I have yet to add RotLA to my DVD collection!

If I may go off on a tangent here: It drives me absolutely crazy when DVD menu screens give away too much of the film. Believe it or not, someone will actually be watching the film for the first time. Ridiculous to give it away. IIRC, the menu screen for "Raiders" is one of the worst offenders. Pretty much takes you scene-by-scene through the film. Fortunately my kids know that these menus can give things away and are always quick to say, "Hurry up and start it! I don't want to see too much!" Not that they've seen the Indiana Jones films, but it is a common occurrence.

Oh, and I can help PIF it, from the top or wherever you need me in the structure. I'm in the US but can mail internationally.

"Indy...I am your...GRANDfather!"


Hell, Sean Connery was in "The Man Who Would Be King", let's throw that in there as well!

The Man Who Would be King was a great book and movie.
What about a preservation of Secret of the Incas? I don't even think it's on DVD in any region. What about an OAR preservation for High Road to China also?
It is my consideration Willie Scott is the Jar Jar of ToD, not Short Round.

She is.

And Short Round is the equivalent of Jake Lloyd. Except that Short Round could kick Jake Lloyd's ass. He knows karate.

UPDATE: Still working on the menus...I tested a version tonight on my DVD player and I need to make a few adjustments...one more day and it should be done.

I've always liked Short Round.

Capshaw, on the other hand ...
