So this project is no where near dead. Though I haven't posted here for a month, I still have been collecting pictures in my spare time. Here's the thing: I haven't found any new pictures from deleted scenes for a long time. However, when I started collecting pictures, it occurred to me that there are a number of interesting alternate angles and shots that could be included. And aren't alternate takes, in a sense, deleted material? From there I started expanding my collection. Then it occurred to me that all the changes throughout the various incarnations of the films are in a sense, deletions and replacements. So my deleted project has expanded greatly.

Well, now I find myself at the point where I'm ready to stop. I have located sources with hundreds of pictures, often not well organized, and it takes a great deal of time to download them all. I've been reorganizing things, and ultimately the clips I had already created are now dreadfully obsolete. I've really found some cool stuff.

I wish I could get some help (hint hint). Most particularly, I'm struggling with starwarsarchives.com. Tyrphanax has offered to help, but I know he's plenty busy. That dude has some unique material, and even though much is watermarked, I'd still like to get ahold of it. But as far as I can tell, since it's a flash site, there is only one way to get those pictures: printscreen, paste to Paint, save. And I can only do this with the smaller pictures because once you enlarge most of them, they always take up more than your screen, no matter what efforts you use to try to shrink them to simply fill your screen. I've settled with the smaller pics, but it's still so time consuming. I'd love some generous souls who were willing to even help with just a few. That way I could finish with the downloading and work on the organizing and converting to video files.

Also, I still need help capturing stuff from the BDs (mentioned in the above message). If you need to know specifically where to find it, PM me. I can't get those on my own, but I think they'd be worth having. And really, if anyone can help in any way at all, please let me know. I can suggest areas of focus.
