'Raiding The Lost Ark' - a filmumentary. (Released)

Hey all,

With the recent success of Star Wars Begins, I’ve found motivation to embark on the above project.

This project will be released on Vimeo.com in HD on the 6th Feb 2012.

Thanks
JD

I have nothing to contribute, but I would just like to say: this is fantastic news.

Thanks. Love the new avatar Moth3r!

So, are you planning on highlighting the digital special effects fixes that were made in 2003 for the DVD release? If so, you might need a transfer of the widescreen laserdisc for comparison. I could probably help you out with this.

Probably also worth reviewing the bits and pieces mentioned in this thread.

You have a PM, JD.

Might also be worth tracking down a copy of the 1954 Charlton Heston film "Secret of the Incas", as it seems to be a big influence on Raiders.

Said film is available for streaming right now on Netflix if you can capture it. I'm very excited for this project!

Of course the name is perfect.

It's not "Jaws", but it'll do. ;-)

Excellent!

You do have the bonus disc for the Indy trilogy, right?

I do indeed. List updated.

Do you have the "bonus bonus" disc?  Best Buy had a second bonus disc available when the set came out originally.

That disc was cut down from the Laserdisc preservation digitalfreaknyc did. That being said, I'd much rather see another Indiana Jones release from DFNYC.

What about one for BLADE RUNNER? Leon could be the missing sixth disc to add to the 5-Disc Collector's Edition. I'd add even more too if I had my say. 10 disc total, should include the already 5 discs from Warner, since I loving BLADE RUNNER.

Will this be dual layered?

No I don't have that DVD. Is there anything usable on there?

What's on that disc is on the full making of, but what's there is in slightly better quality, so it could be worth it I guess, it was seeded on demonoid last I checked.

Good luck with this project, looking forward to it.

I checked the bonus features of KotCS for Jambe already. Nothing there.

I have that DVD, it has much more Making Of than the official Making Of DVD !! Go figure. It is my favourite source of bts Raiders footage.

 

Yes, but I was talking about "The making of Raiders" not the DVD - extra.

Ok. So it looks like I need.

The Widescreen laser disc of Raiders
The original Making of Raiders (best quality available)
The Trilogy Best Buy DVD
ET Indiana Jones Behind The Adventure (YouTube)
Indy IV looks back at the Original Trilogy (YouTube)
Scans of the deleted scenes photos
Scans of the deleted scenes from the comic adaptation

Is anyone able to help?

Thanks for the link AvP but it would be great if someone would be kind enough to send me the DVDs.

Thanks
JD
