Star Wars - watch parties - are you planning one? previews/videos

ok,

in preparation for our release.. and of course

with all the other ones out there.. are you

going to have a watch party with other friends?

(or by yourself...awwwwwwwww)

====================================

i know i am...

----------------------------

yes, i know that most of you can't go watch the

movies in a theater anymore for reasons we all

know.....

i know i'll be doing a screening in a theater near

me later this year, if it all works out... with a group

of people i know, and some family too....  it'll be

tricky to work out (sound) etc... and we'll fallback

on just a digital presentation.. but a local arthouse

theater has a deal where you rent the place out

for the night after hours.... and i've talked to their

management so it's just a manner of timing.....

maybe we'll squeeze in a 'grindhouse' preview

of ESB also???

anyways, back to more possibilities for the rest of you

========================================

1 watching harmy's v2/ v2.1

2 watching puggo's ESB 16mm (along with SW 16mm?)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

way back when last year.. me/cinch did our preview

of version 0 of ESB 35mm...

this year i've watched preview 0 of SW 35mm..

however, shortly we'll have more color corrected

reels to watch , so i'm going to get some friends

together to watch that also..

------------------------------------------------------------

watch this space .. video and screenshots

coming ....

-------------------------------------------------------------

so what are the details, and how are you guys

going to celebrate the releases that are coming,

or how did you do it for the ones that are out

now???

this should be a great year for star wars releases..

and there's more coming!!

let people know what you're doing, and

share the wealth!!!

Nothing planned right now, but my local independent run-by-hippies theatre lets you rent the place for private showings (i.e. closed venue, no advertising, no concessions): $50+an hourly rate, which doesn't sound bad at all.  They can show Blu-rays, so that's how I'll handle the media.  Not sure how big their screen is, but it's an older theatre and therefore bigger than a modern multiplex.  Also not sure how many real channels their audio supports, depending on what I discover I'd go with 5.1 or 2.0.  They have a ton of seating but I bet I can fill it.

It's all very preliminary, I'm in no rush.  I might not get around to it until Spring.  Maybe May the 4th...

welcome everyone...

come on in to our first preview

of star wars..

a few things:

---------------------------------------

take off your shoes

get a comfortable spot on the couch

grab your food and drinks before we start..

----------------------------------------------------

- colors are not FINAL

- we're still working on the cleanup

- this is the fully uncropped versions..

==============================

oh yeah, the projectionist  guy filming it tried using

a tripod, but it got all crooked at the END! oopss..

well hopefully you'll get the idea..

thanks for coming by!

enjoy...

So this was a projection? (stil watching so won't comment on it just yet)

 

edit: I just said this out loud: "Holy sh*t look at the detail" (particuarly the underside of that star destroyer)

actually it was more of a joke

(see corrected version)..

thanks for dropping by,

they'll be more later..

so stick around for the rest of it..

Being this is just a camera recording off of a screen, this still looks fantastic! You guys have definitely been busy!

--------------------------------------------------

the filming guy used a tripod on a stable

base this time.. looks better

sounds a little clearer..

===============================

we still have to jump around because we

can't watch all of it right now.. but it's still

good to check out...

================================

Last one loaded yay!

I did notice that darth vader seems very matte black. Why would the print have him be so matte? Is it because you recorded it with a camera?

i think it's always been like.. matte black.

it's glossy in the other ones.. guess darth

vader didn't get his helmet cleaned by the

service that day.. ha ha..

 I kind of want to get some people together to watch the first two Puggos (and maybe use the X9 of Jedi), but I don't know how many people would actually appreciate it or if they would just complain about the poor quality.
