I don't actually have all the versions shown on my site...yet.  And some of them I have as a poor quality .avi or .mpg file, but was able to get a passable screen shot from them.

Which makes a lot of sense. The ones we have out here are the ones worth having for viewing and enjoyment. Kind of like a Star Wars theater bootleg, some of which are out there: an historical curiosity, and a valuable reference, but not at all a thing to be enjoyed in its own right. For that you'd want reasonable clarity of picture and sound.

Would be nice to have a torrent site specifically dedicated to the HS and its various versions, commercials, and related video clips.  Hmm...

Too true. It's amazing how much material is surfacing these last months, and I'm obsessively archiving it just... because.

Started with the video clips from your site, SKot, because back then my Internet access was occasional at best and I wanted to be able to enjoy them at home. But then bits and pieces of stuff kept coming and coming.

The thing that really fired my imagination was the animatic to the animated segment. THAT's exciting: the possibility of having that and the finished version with either choice of audio. Or simulated picture-in-picture.
