I don't post nonsense on an Italian Star Wars site.

*response involving how Google Translate produced a page of italian-looking gibberish*
FTFY
oh. so it is out there...?
I think this is the first time I've seen evidence of a broadcast of the open matte version. Sorry, I don't have it. Good luck on finding it.
Awesome!! :D will download asap
EDIT: warning, the link in your post is broken.
It's finally here!

Don't sleazily accost me in PM to defend your "good friend", under the pretense of warmly welcoming me to the forums.
I'm sleazy, am I?
That wasn't what that was. Don't you EVER send me another PM again.
Oh, don't worry, I won't. Why don't you talk to a mod if that bothers you?
I beg your pardon? I'm not sure I understand. If something's the matter, please report it to a mod, before you call me names which you quickly edit out of your post.

You don't know how to debate topics such as religion sensitively.
To be honest, few people at all, IMHO, are actually able to be 100% diplomatic with such a delicate subject.
I'd just like to comment that I appreciate the civil manner with which you guys are explaining yourselves. Between the lines, I see mutual respect. And after all, that's what I'd expect from two people inhabiting the same cyber-place for so many years.

David Prowse gets a second chance at Darth Vader:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OYaz85FrSz4&
To be completely honest, I like the "what if" scenario, I like Prowse's voice and delivery, what I find ridiculous is the laughably amateurish attitude towards dubbing that both the british and the americans seem to have. There's seldom any attempts to keep in sync WHILE recording, and honestly if you don't get it right in the booth there's little chance of making it sound convincing in post.
What they showed at 8:50 with the "Voice aligned" section was APPALLING. The music in the background can't hide flaws from attentive ears. It was very obvious that the sync had been artificially manipulated and it sounded really choppy. And that was achieved using very expensive software?? Puh-lease!
This is why the american audience comes off as having a visceral dislike for dubbing... you've always been terrible at it!
And this was ADR on only two lines, by the same actor, in a controlled studio environment with (presumably) few time constraints. I'll admit that I've seen good ADR from some english and american actors, "Star Wars" has some good examples of it, but overall... I'm not impressed at all. I know the actual intent of this video was (supposedly) to paint a picture of what it would've been like, had they chosen Prowse for the ADR on Darth Vader, but having seen and heard what good dubbing is like, if it weren't for Prowse I fail to see the point of this video. Good ADR or dubbing doesn't need expensive pieces of software to keep the sync.
Sorry for the off topic rant, but I felt it needed to be said.

Huh, I'd just use Aegisub/TextSub/Avisynth for that. o.o;
Just to clarify, the hard part is not the compositing of the text, it's making a clean plate in HD using the regraded bluray and a "patch" from the textless dvd release. Which is what I've been doing so far. It's not perfect yet, the patch still needs stabilizing, it doesn't look good in motion, but it's a step in the right direction I think.
Besides, as powerful as Aegisub is (I've used it) I'm not sure how feasible simulating gate weave on it would be. I'm guessing not very. The intent of this project is to try and recreate the italian version, and that entails making it look as authentic as possible, gate weave included. I'm not talking huge amounts, but it will be there, it has to be there to help "sell" the effect.
Hello, I've been busy lately and haven't been checking the forum for a while... So, what's u-WTFISHAPPENING
Moving forward! As you may have guessed, I don't have much time on my hands lately, but progress is being made. I just need time to figure out some things in After Effects, like this shot here. Click to enlarge:
For all your Terry Thomas needs:
I took a break, I would've loved to do a couple more tunes from Rogue Squadron, but real life has distracted me ;P
I may be attending a training course in the next days, nothing major but, much like a hound, my ears have been perked up pointing to the sky.
Will reprise work on these and other projects of mine (the italian Terminator preservation) as soon as my mind tells me I may sit down and have a beer.
Thanks for asking! :)
Fire.
That's the idea. According to what we manage to do first, it's either move the car from where it is, and see if the harassing stops, or wait for the next strike and then call the police.
Furthermore, right in front of us there's a small warehouse, and I remembered today, they have a little surveillance camera in front of their entrance. That one might just be turned the right way to be able to have seen the culprit.
Believe me, if I could kick his fucking ass without fear of legal repercussions, I totally would. But I want at least his face. If I get the chance, I will give him a taste of Gunny:

My family has three cars, one of which is broken, it can't really start without cables, so it's been parked in the same spot in front of our balcony for a while. We live in a dead-end street with a couple other condominiums. The car does not violate any rules about parking, although we are aware we really shouldn't leave it there.
This afternoon, while walking near it with my best friend, we saw human feces on the hood. Apparently this is one way of saying "don't park here" in whatever language chimps use.
It happened again today. This time, on the windshield. There was even a soiled handkerchief on the ground, next to the car. I know, none of this would happen if we just moved the damn car... but still can you fucking believe it!
I took photos this time. Afterwards it rained for a bit, then again this evening, it went on almost two hours. That'll wash it off the car a bit, I hope.
I'll be waiting for that swine.. I've set up a motion-activated webcam on my window sill.
I wanna see his fucking face.
You mean this?
Ha! that's cute. A pizza box? How about a whole magazine?
Or how about the crapton of St. Pio of Pietrelcina merchandising?
And I do mean crapton
Why do I picture Mel Brooks as Yoghurt going "St Pio, the coin purse! St Pio, the home fragrance! Smells like jasmine and rose!"....

if you see a truck in Italy, at least in southern Italy, you bet your ass there's a picture of this guy on it somewhere.
You know what? It does get a little hot in a recording studio, especially if the AC breaks down.
Well not ALL of it. A good percentage of it was ADR'd, IIRC.
