This is off topic, but some of you requested some of my own movies with your copies of Deleted Magic or the Classic Editions, so I thought I might as well post the official Amaray art for one of my non-Star Wars movies as well.

This is the Amaray art for Gods of Los Angeles. Completed it yesterday.

Something like four alternate posters are available at:

If you want the Amaray art for Orange Cow Shorts Vol. 1, you can request it from me.

A local video rental place here in L.A. called Video Journeys rents out movies by local filmmakers - a free rental for one day - and lets you give them your films to be included. So I'm going ahead and designing Amaray case art for even some slightly obscure Orange Cow movies, just so I can get more of my movies on the shelf.

Amaray and disc art exists for Indulgence and Ghostbusted. Ask about it and ye shall recieve.

Okay, I thought it was high time I put my word in on the whole cover thing.

So, here are some official covers created in the Coov mold.


I really wanted the Japanese-derived poster to be on these covers in good quality. But all I had was the original Japanese version, before some important retouching was done to Luke, Lando, and Cloud City. So my first step was to take the Japanese version (which was posted here in good quality) and put in Luke and Lando's faces, the top of Cloud City and the starburst from a low-quality version of the Australian poster.

The quality was poor, so I spent a LONG time retouching Luke and Lando's faces until they looked passable. The results were lovely.

As you can see, once again I've changed the original greenish color scheme to be more blue and inviting. A really classy poster.


I now had the raw materials to create new covers for the film.

First I created a cover based on Coov's "brushed metal" design. I decided to downplay the "brushed metal" look a bit, as I wanted the text to be as easy to read as possible. The metal became less extreme, and I also added a snowscape to the back cover to give it more of a Hoth feel, and make the text stand out more against the white.

Here's the simple, classic black look. I added a slight halo effect around all the text and the Empire logo, to make it all seem like it was very slightly glowing. The effect is subtle though.

Here's the new disc art, using the higher quality version of the poster. Much clearer and much better. The figures are also larger.



There y'go!

Here it is - a folder full of designs for Deleted Magic and the Classic Editions done by people other than me. Lot of Coov stuff here, I've also included his "Trading Card" set for the O-OT if anyone missed it. A nice set.

Cool! Thanks!

I just discovered your ESB Classic Edition and I enjoyed watching it a lot! Great effort! Your ANH Classic Edition has just finished downloading, so this one will be next in my DVD player.:-)

I skipped through parts of this thread and read some messages where you fought with finding a proper video codec for the Mac. I guess uncompressed lossless is out of the question as it eats up too much hd space? I think the only lossless and properly compressed codec for the Mac is the commercial Sheervideo codec... But I found the DVCPRO50 codec to be quite usable. Only 3.3:1 compression ratio compared to 5:1 of DV and 8Bit 4:2:2 colour space. I had very good results with it so far.

"Moth3r any updates on jedi?" qoute from my question in his thread.









Moth3r answer:


"The raw capture files from laserdisc and VHS are now on my hard drive."

I'm now checking the video and audio sources, identifying timing differences. Currently about 3/4 of the way through the film."

Now we just have to wait for a final encode, let's cross our fingers.

you said earlier on that you would use his pal transfer of jedi in your classic edition rotj project.

Do you have any ideas yet how to get an experience as close to that of in the theater in 1983, what changes to the sound mix, or movie would you do.
