I watched nearly all of it... I'm just blown away by how well you integrated everything. It's just a pity that all this great footage is hidden behind the credits! At least it probably means that all of the 35mm negatives exist somewhere since the superimposition would mean a dupe negative was used. I'm sure they kept all the trims and deleted material archived.
Now I'm going to work on getting it ready for GBS-TV. If you don't mind, I'm going to have tomake some minor changes in order to adapt it for the small resolution Winamp stream. First, I'm going to adjust the contrast a bit in order to take out the blown-out whites to an extent. I've been able to adjust a lot of archive.org stuff and it came out fine.
Second, I'm going to create an intro explaining the history of the film and the different versions. It'll probably run about 8-10 minutes. This way, no one has to be subjected to the awful music numbers in complete form. It'll cover the processes needed to create the Recobbled cut, why animation differs, and comparisons between soundtracks. Sort of like one of those introductions on a Criterion DVD combined with one of their restoration comparisons (for example, there's a 20 min. featurette covering multiple versions of "M" on their 2-disc set). Th
Also, the end credits won't be that legible, so I think I might need to make an alternate end credits (using stills) at the end with only essential items. However, there will be a quick montage of the end titles in the intro as examples of the changes. Would it be possible for you to design a still (or animated if you want) logo for the front for "RICHARD WILLIAMS STUDIO Ltd." to go before the title?
Oh, one more thing... once I finish reconstructing Animating Art, I'll do the same thing with I Drew Roger Rabbit.
