Update: I have all the footage I am going to get I think. I am now working through the timeline tidying up and adding the text facts etc. I am also looking at the weaker areas and seeing what I can do. Everytime I watch it I spot something else that can be done. Eventually I will send out copies to my QA team and ready for the final clean up and burn. So I would think the end of the year is still a good target to aim for.

The DVD should contain:

- Montage Main Menu Screen (100%) and Still Sub-menus (0%)
- The full length doco 'Returning to Jedi', including: Cast & Crew Commentary, Behind the Scenes footage (some very rare), Deleted Scene Reconstruction, Outtakes, Text Facts, Alternate Audio, etc (85%)
- 'Coming October 2006' trailer (100%)
- 'Ugly as Sin' Teaser (the inspiration came from Classic Creatures. I just wanted to do something different) (100%)
- Rare footage sequence (Remainder of what was not used in the main doco. If there is room) (40%)
- Reconstructed opening crawl (I bet you can guess which one!) (100%)
- Animatics Comparison (90%)
- Easter Egg (not telling!)
- Cover and Disc Design

This is only a provisional list but it gives you some idea of the work I have done and the work I have to do.

So, I am now about 85% done with the doco itself. Then comes the LONG slog of rendering, transcoding, menu construction and burning.

If Sky is still out there, I would be happy for you to be involved in making the stills for the menu. Alternatively if there is anyone out there that come up with suitable designs, I would be happy to see them. It would be great to tie the menu design in with the case design again.
