Arr matey Alex! Thanks so much for the good review and kind words. What Ronto indeed ... best praise I could ask for. =)

No dual layer version sadly ... I only saved the final edit to DVD, not to any lossless type media. The disc is what the disc is.


Here's a review by [redacted].

Once again, fabulous work. The Return of the Ewok Disc was adorable (I
dig Warwick Davis) plus the extras on it are enjoyable (and
cringe-worthy a la Holiday Special... but it's Star Wars, so there's a
geek-love factor there).

Your SW: Classic Edition was seemless. Couldn't really tell when it
was SE and when it was LD. You are very precise in your editing,
innovative with your De-SE'ing, and appear tireless with the hard work
and effort you devote to this. I, and many other fans besides, thank
you from the bottom of our fannish hearts. =D

As for your short films! I watched "Trueheart," and I laughed in all
the right places. The lighting really stood out for me (in a good way)
-- effective in setting the tone. And I love that this is what you did
for one of your class projects. You captured the "Storytellers" feel, I
think.

I also watched "For Science." I gotta tell you, I loved that one. I
watched in three times (once by myself, once with my mother, and once
with my best friend). I cried all three times. Yes. I cried. LOL The
story just went ---> ZING ---> right to my heart. It takes something a)
done effectively and b) I can honestly relate to in order to get me to
that state (i.e., I'm not an overly sentimental bawling fool most of
the time). The combination of the storyline itself, the music, the
acting -- it all came together. I loved the plants/setup with
future-son tripping over past-son (and not seeing who it was). And what
broke my heart is when future-son comes upon his "dead" father's body
because he's too late... ouch. You (and Tim Carrass) did a really good
job in showing a developing story in five minutes. Thanks for making
that one and giving me a chance to watch it.

As an aside, I was thisclose to going to film school, but I decided
against it for more than one reason. Maybe if one of the colleges I'd
visited had showed a film like one of yours, I might have gone after
all. =)

Thanks again for sharing your work.
