Whew....then you don't mean me - I made goofy mockups using ROTJ. ;)
Star Wars Episode XXX: Erica Strikes Back
If you want Nice, go to France
Well now all that bad stuff is out the way let's get back on topic
I'm still a way off getting everything i need so i can film all the xtra stuff so i've had a bit of an idea........
Anyone that donates/ has donated between 20th july to 30th august 2009 will get entered into a draw and the person randomly chosen will receive a workprint copy of ESB:R at the stage that it currently stands. But this person would have to agree to 2 things:
1. that they would not make this publicly available or pass it on to anyone else
2. They would have to watch the movie and then write down nots about anything they thing isn't working or any faults they see with the new fx work
It will be an NTSC DVD copy with a temp soundtrack so there would be no need to comment on the audio. This will help me to step back and see anything that i am missing with what i have done so far and what don't work.
So anyone that donates please include your screenname from here so i know who you are to contact you if are the one selected
Well, that's an interesting development! I don't know who will donate, of course, but I hope someone like Bingowings, Davnes or SSWR gets it. Or dare I say me? Maybe Vaderios, too, but I think he'd have you working on it the rest of your life! ;)
It will be a totally random selection (basically all the names put in a hat type of thing)
I'd suggest that it also might be a good condition that whoever does get it, doesn't mention on here that they got it or discuss it with us at all and only discusses it with Ady via PM or email.
I just donated a bit. As I told Ady, I would've done so "contest" or no "contest", and I got a bit of a pay raise/rise, so why not now?
Any significance to the name 'penny', Adywan? If you can't say here, that's ok. Just curious.
I wouldn't want the workprint copy. Ady if I took notes on it you wouldn't have any work to do. I swear the only thing on my note pad would be drool. So I hope whoever gets it is very picky and very imaginative.
"The other versions will disappear. Even the 35 million tapes of Star Wars out there won’t last more than 30 or 40 years. A hundred years from now, the only version of the movie that anyone will remember will be the DVD version [of the Special Edition], and you’ll be able to project it on a 20’ by 40’ screen with perfect quality. I think it’s the director’s prerogative, not the studio’s to go back and reinvent a movie." - George Lucas

It's the wife's name. We use her bank account for paypal because i don't have an account that can be used with paypal and i can't set one up because, even though i have been with my bank for over 20 years now, i don''t have the correct identification to set one up that i can have direct debits etc. i don't have a passport or a valid driving licence so none of the proof they require. It's a bloody joke
Thanks Ripplin :)
Ady,
That is one helluva an offer. I hope that drums up some additional funds to get the ball rolling again. I also agree with adding the addendum that the person receiving the disc remains anonymous. It would serve no point to advertise who has the disc. Just my 2 bits. Keep it up!
O.T. or No T., baby!™
Wouldn't it be more interesting to say, choose 5 people and send each of them 1/5 of the film?
Firstly it gives more incentives and secondly with less runtime each person can focus more on the segment they have - re: feedback. Thirdly there'd be far less issue [I'd assume] of someone potentially doing what you don't want with the workprint.
Ady! can you PM your paypal link. I can only make a small donation, so you don't have to put me in the drawing. =]

Ahh hahaha Thank you.
Hey Ady, i think its a great idea.
Maybe i'll donate too. But i hope you are aware of the fact that you are taking quite a risk here.
I guess most of the people here would be trustworthy, but there are always black sheep. Lets just hope that it doesnt end up in the wrong hands.
Wow, I was thinking about suggesting that Ady do that while we're in this lull. Not the whole random donation part (as I lack the funds to donate), but the rough draft review idea. I hope it works out and you get some good critiques and hopefully the random person you pick doesn't just disappear with it! Maybe you could watermark it not only with a "rough draft" title but their name! LOL

Probably a wise suggestion, 005.

I second the water mark Idea

Sorry... I typed this thinking I was farther down the line.
Oh, if I was randomly selected ( I will donate in a few days ) I would comply with everything you wrote down Ady, I love star wars and your edits too much to do stupid things with it.
Water mark it would be good, plus one could perhaps know the name and address to the person to whom one is sending it?
oh yes, SW is my life :)
I might not look like a nerd, but I am a true nerd at heart!

I would also suggest putting a time code on the bottom black bar area so when someone writes a critque they can post the time (minute: seconds) as to the movie element being written about.
Also, whoever is selected to do the task make sure to keep your finger on the pause button! >:)
