Thanks for that Moth3r.

Jay, there's now a similar problem with page 1035 of adywan's main 'ESB:Revisited' thread caused by a post by topdawg193, unfortunately.

I can't see past that post, and can't comment on the latest great clip because of it.

Heh, that's a real 'Sith'-like revenge that George is about to inflict on his nice, rich, obstructive neighbours, lol...

the forum mentioned "General Star Wars Disqussion" :P

Welcome aboard darthmaul, but this whole section of the forum already concerns discussing different aspects of 'Star Wars' in general.  I guess you'll need to be more specific about what particular thing about it you'd like to discuss if it's not already covered...

Failing that, YAY for 'Star Wars' I guess!

NEWS FROM ADY: Recently he attempted to upload another video, this time using a 25 second leader as he used on his last YouTube vid (which worked) but FB denied this one as they have his past ones and gave his account a temp ban....so he'll be absent for a little bit due to that. On the up side however, he has re-rendered all the files damaged in the Great "April Fools" Hard-Drive Crash of 2012....so NOTHING has been lost.

What?...we've been denied a new clip again?!  Damn those pesky Facebook kids!

However, thank the maker nothing was lost where the main files were concerned. :)

Thanks for the update on this.

THE SHARK IS STILL WORKING documentary is going to be released on the upcoming JAWS Blu-ray it seems! :)

I can just imagine the look of horror on their mother's faces when young boys are caught striking those poses to that tune :-D

That's nothing, wait till the dad's get a load of this...  :-D

And some thought the ludicrous 'dancing' SW characters on Kinect were a little controversial...

April 1st is always a scary time where adywan's involved... ;)

The 'Hoth Shield Generator' miniature turned out great by the way.  The weathering is a nice touch.

Well, he successfully did it, and is back safe and dry! 

But it seems he intends to do it again...

*UPDATE* - he's reached the bottom safely to set a new solo record for the deepest dive...and is going to explore and film around the bottom for approx. 6 hours before he returns!

The 3D maestro is finally on his journey down to the abyss RIGHT NOW!...

I see a pattern forming here...

My 3rd Unit shoot is rapidly coming up, and I'm still trying to save up the cash to rent all the equipment I'll need.

muddyknees2000, I've a rough idea about what Ming's been up to with his 2nd Unit shoot, but I must have missed the info. about what you're hoping to do for this.  Can you elaborate a little or not?

brash_stryker, that brought a smile as some of those 'fonejacker' prank calls were hilarious! :)

Things to look for:

-Clouds (or the City?) going past as Lando closes the top hatch.

The City's undersection.  And it's another terrific enhancement indeed.  Really gives the impression of speed as the Falcon accelerates away from Luke's rescue.

Wait...what?...already?...WOW!  Well done everyone who donated this time around.

The 'cloud' lighting looks great throughout, and the Bespin planet's 'lens flare' shot is majestic-looking.  The re-colouration of various elements is marvellous overall, and the replacement background of the final Vader shot is inspired.

Another awesome preview clip as usual! :) 

This mix is going to be ultra surround sound.

I can't wait for my neighbours to 'experience' adywan's 'HOTH BATTLE'! :)

We're so lucky that he's an audio wiz on this project as well as a visual one.

Thanks for the heads-up on the latest Facebook info. doubleofive.  Hopefully we can all help towards getting these last necessary materials that are needed to complete this...and nice to see that there'll be one more preview clip released once the half-way point of this final donation push is reached.

He's actually doing this, and risking his life...and he's about to do it imminently it seems...

Wish him luck and success...

I'm kinda hoping it's not the same 'derelict' ship either, purely because there are some distinctive design changes between it and the version originally seen in ALIEN.

On the other hand, there are also quite a few differences to the detailing of the 'Spacejockey', it's 'chair', and the 'base' surrounding it also, so this could just be a sign that Ridley isn't too fussed with 'continuity issues' with the original movie, and wanted to tweak things a little.  And the more 'futuristic'-looking screens could just be another thing that doesn't matter to him in the overall scheme of things, since he's now got the improved technology (and budget) to do them this way for today's audiences.

These obvious design differences will no doubt bother me a bit if this turns out to be the case...but I'm just glad this particular movie is being directed by him rather than anyone else I can think of, as I know I'm in for a visual feast either way.

All I know at this point is that this is all going to look terrific in decent 3D.

And here's an interesting 'timeline' chart that's appeared on the 'weylandindustries' site now, which shows when developments like the 'Spectagraph' (red floating 'mapping' ball seen in latest trailer) came along... 

(scroll down to the bottom and work your way up to the top of the page) - https://www.weylandindustries.com/#/timeline

Until the FULL-length 2 mins. 33 secs. version of the 'Theatrical' trailer appears online sometime soon, here's another neat 'viral' clip that's now appeared - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gEO3lmVy-tU

Gah, haven't been able to update this for a while, but when I went to replace a couple of lost links today it seems that approx. a hundred others from these last six pages are now GONE/or REMOVED from Youtube too!  I don't know if I'll be able to find alternatives uploaded to restore them eventually, or not.  :(

Anyway, I'll be sticking up some recent stuff before too long, but in the meantime I've updated the PROMETHEUS trailers above.  And I'll add the FULL 2 minute 33 second 'Theatrical' version that's coming out later today too.

Indeed.  Like Ralph Mcquarrie, 'Moebius' left an awesome body of work behind.

Okay, here's a little taste of the latest trailer that's coming on 17th March - http://www.prometheusforum.net/discussion/199

I'd be surprised if adywan would want to reveal his new 'Wampa' scene to everyone before the actual release pat man, but you never know...

The forthcoming 'Revisited saga' trailer should be worth waiting for too, though.

It seems Topher 'Venom' Grace has come up with quite a radical take on the prequels then.  From nearly 7 hours worth of footage down to 85 minutes is certainly a bold cut of the material, and it's too bad we're unlikely to see exactly what he came up with for his 'private screening'.

Anyway, in addition to the Slashfilm link in the 1st post, here's a couple of others with some additional snippets of the cuts he came up with -

Collider.com - http://collider.com/topher-grace-star-wars-prequels/150596/

Firstshowing.net - http://www.firstshowing.net/2012/video-blog-topher-graces-85-minute-cut-of-the-star-wars-prequels/

...although I'm not sure why he'd want to fiddle about with the already great 'Close Encounters Of The Third Kind' next though, considering the likes of 'Spider-man 3' is crying out for attention! ;)

I came across this link to a pic of the 'Space Map' shot which can be 'enlarged' to a really high quality. 

Check out the detail on it here - http://www.aintitcoolnews.com/node/54106

And there's a new PROMETHEUS trailer coming out on March 17th...  :)

Here's the details -  Live Q and A with Ridley Scott and the premiere of a new PROMETHEUS trailer!
