BTW!!! I have a 3rd Gen copy of this.

Rev, I have rencoded the Ace Ventura pet detective w/ no errors finally.

For sure it will be sent to you, please IM me your address again and i'll send it tommorrow. Don't count on the Mask workprint copy I have the disc had the same errors that Pet detective did so it will require lots of work.. I used Nero Rencode and it worked.

Peace

Remember, Highlander, you’ve both still got your full measure of life. Use it well, and your future will be glorious.

Wait what did you did with Pet Detective?

Is there a workprint for that or something?

Drool....

Got my copy today! Thanks so much Alex!

Since I guess you only sent this to a couple people, am I the distribution method for this now?

Suppose people needing it can ask me at tygerbug (at) yahoo.com.

I think that Mask was going to handle sending out copies to a few more folks who wanted it, you've got enough on your plate right now.

I used to be very active on this forum. I’m not really anymore. Sometimes, people still want to get in touch with me about something, and that is great! If that describes you, please email me at [my username]ATgmailDOTcom.

Hi everybody. You’re all awesome. Keep up the good work.

It's an odd watch. The quality is very workprinty - I don't think it's gonna disappoint anyone with the picture quality, nor impress anybody. It's what you'd expect. Not pretty, but watchable. SOME of the CGI is in place, and some isn't. It doesn't make much difference because Carrey throws himself into the role so much. The death of that reporter woman really disturbed me when I saw it on the official DVD, but here it doesn't make much impact with the crap picture quality - nor does the little Viking intro. And all the temp score is familiar Elfman tunes.

It's very much the movie as we know it - it's very clear at this point that this is gonna be a big hit.

It's an interesting watch, although since The Mask made it to theaters roughly as you see here, it's not a vital find. Workprints being much more important when their films have been raped!

True, but I still think this is one of the more amusing workprints I've seen. I just revel in the tiny dialogue extensions and the temp score. But mostly the little extensions. That's just the kind of stuff that amuses me and, before I started editing my own movies, I'd question why it was necessary to edit out single lines and whatnot. Then I started editing LiveStock and I cut about a minute out of just single lines and it was incredible how much of a difference it made.

Oh no, it's quite entertaining. For a workprint that isn't MUCH different from the released version, it's a damn good watch. Mainly because the film itself is a good'un. I haven't seen The Mask in years though, so I didn't catch the changes.

"Just killing time" was cut, wasn't it, tho' .... that was in the comic version and I always missed it.

=D

Just reached the end.

"Smokin'!"

I'll repeat that a composite would be nice ... to catch the subtleties of the image that we otherwise lose (and to get the high quality versions of the Viking and Reporter Death scenes) ... and to alert people to the changes.

I think I'll work on a composite sometime this summer. I'll probably keep the sound from the workprint totally as it is and cut in everything that's not in the flick, video-wise, including storyboards and "SCENE MISSING" cards. Those are always entertaining.

That'd be nice. Yeah, I like the "scene missing" cards and the storyboards. Helps to show what was shot in pickups.

But a composite of scenes which are unchanged in the final cut (apart from sound) would be ace ... help you appreciate Jim Carrey and - well, Cameron Diaz - at their very finest.

I enjoyed most seeeing the "Mask dog" running around as a regular dog.

Sad that 10+ years later both Carrey and Diaz are not a positive thing to have in a film.

Richard Jeni is a weird part of this ... In any other film he'd be the "comic buddy" to the straight-man lead actor. And he's clearly trying to be. Except that the "straight leading man" is Jim Carrey, who's funny, and he isn't.

Wacky!

Somewhere on VHS I've got a thing about the making of the Mask cartoon, which starred Rob Paulsen. A low-budget affair, that cartoon, but I watched it.

If it is, I would say that the quality is atrocious...

By the way, anyone with the workprint of "Son of the Mask"? The one that shows the cast and crew being killed in a number of humorous ways...

Yeah, that's the one. Looks like the copy I have might be a generation or two lower, but I really don't think the quality is that bad. I've seen far, far worse.

I'm keeping that workprint next to the Mask DVD instead of "Son of the Mask"...

"Son of the Mask"... right up there with "Highlander II" and Joel Schumacher's Ratman. Or rather down there.
