There are three shots from Intolerance in the reel. I made a Divx file of some highlights from the reel, but I'm afraid the Divx compression made it unwatchable - it's low quality to begin with! I've been told that much of the Thief material on the reel was animated by Richard ... not sure who animated the rest.

Okay, here's the info on the fifteenth disc in the Richard Willliams DVD collection. It's in PAL.

I am creating the sixteenth disc at the same time. Also in PAL.

There is a lot of material here that you won't have seen before, and there is some you WILL have seen before, but which is being DVDized here for the first time in its original PAL (and sometimes in better quality), which I know some people will appreciate.

I started to create both DVDs, and I was spreading content across both discs - Thief content on one, Roger Rabbit content on the other.

Then I realized .... I don't want everyone to have to get certain shows twice if they don't want to. I should put ALL the "new" content on one disc, and all the "old" content on the other.

Because I like you guys. So that's what I did.

So here's the "new" disc.

Thief and the Cobbler Pencil Tests - 56 minutes worth, accompanied by the audio from the film. (I would have edited a music track like I did for the last pencil test compilation, but I got lazy.)

Roger Rabbit Richard Williams Interviews - five of them, local news stories from British TV (and an appearance on a kid's show). Russell Hall, Robert Zemeckis and Charles Fleischer also feature.

Thief and the Cobbler Richard Williams interview - Another news report as Richard talks about trying to create a "masterpiece."

Richard Williams at the British Film Awards - accepting a special achievement award.

Roger Rabbit test footage - you've seen this on the official Roger Rabbit DVD documentary - here it is in its original form - some guy plays Eddie Valiant, Roger plays himself.

Air Canada Ad 1989 - Rare in that this was done at the studio where Roger Rabbit was animated.

National Film Board of Canada Richard Williams intros - From a desk covered in Thief backgrounds, Richard introduces several films by Canadian animators.

Seaside Woman - short film by Oscar Grillo. Not Richard Williams related.

Nasruddin clip from One Pair of Eyes - in its original PAL and its original edit.

So that's disc 15.

Now, for disc 16 ...

Everything old is new again.

This will have a better print of I Drew Roger Rabbit on it, a PAL print of the reel of Williams Studio ads, a PAL print of the Warner Bros. trailer, and something else.

I'm including this material in PAL because it was originally sent to me in PAL. I cleaned this stuff up when I converted it to NTSC, so the NTSC version should actually look better, but it's best to have the original unscrewed with versions too.
