I am making an updated version of 'Building Empire' for the 'Miami Underground Film Festival' in March 2008. It will include clips from some things that have come to light since it's initial release, such as:

- The Risk Business
- Machine Men
- BBC ESB John Williams Doco
- Apropos_Film

I will also be correcting the 'Rouge Squadron' subtitle to 'Rogue Squadron'.

If anybody has any further suggestions I would like to hear them.

I am keeping the DVD footage but have integrated the superior quality sound from Puggo's DVD. If that's ok with you Puggo?

By the way has anyone got a photo of the matte painting of Echo Base's ceiling, used for the shot when Han and co are trying to leave?

There was also a misspelling of Ray Hassett's name on the scroll about Superman movie alums when John Ratzenberger is talking to Leia. I'll see if I notice anything else. I got so sick of watching it earlier this year I haven't gone back since February

Good luck on the festival.

I checked out - 'The Art of the Empire Strikes Back' book - Nothing, pretty much all of the other Matte paintings but ....
'And you call yourselves human'

On a side note. I've just obtained a 16mm copy of SPFX. It is one of only two copies I've ever seen for sale.

Is anyone able to shed more light on my latest purchase?

Thanks

That's quite an amazing find, Jambe. I think I may have heard of this existing, but I can't tell you anything about it. Possibly some prints were struck in 16mm to show to military personnel, or some such thing.

There was supposedly a 16mm print of the Holiday Special that came up on eBay last year, but it turned out to be a scam.

Good luck. Are you going to release the new version?

Why is the Spleen version: 4.21 GB
& the Demon version: 3.98 GB

And these are both these sites' respective PAL versions not the NTSC conversions.

I'd rather not downlaod something that has been reencoded so I'd like to check if Jambe listed the original size correctly.

4.7GB in metric units is 4,700,000,000 bytes - roughly the size of a single layer DVDR.

Most software reports size in binary units, so 4,700,000,000 bytes is about 4.38GiB (but the "i" is usually omitted). I think that the Spleen's 4.21GiB is more likely to be correct. If I remember I will check my disc, I think it came direct from Jambe.

I think some extra covers were added at some point.

As you know, I am entering my docos into the 'Miami Underground Film' festival.

At the moment, both BE and RTJ are getting a few little additions. If you think you have something that wasn't included in the original releases please let me know asap.

Cheers

All files in VIDEO_TS have identical sizes. They might or might not have the same checksums.


Isn't the diff command fun?

However, in practice you must take into account the “fuckwit factor”. Just talk to Darth Mallwalker…

It's great to see that you haven't abandoned the project. I'm sure over time more material will come to light that you can use to improve upon perfection.

Lets not get all Lucas here. Just to clarify, all versions will be available in anamorphic And I think this will be the final version.
