Minor quibble/suggestion here, but is it possible to remove the "Chicken Walkers?"  I just never felt they belonged on Hoth...the AT-ATs are more of an immediate threat.  The AT-STs seem better suited to JEDI where the Emperial forces would have to manuever in much smaller spaces given all the trees in the forest.

Either that, or make their design more menacing somehow....

 

Maybe take some T-rex shots from JURRASIC PARK and throw them in the background eating rebels? >:)

The AT-STs were fine with me because I always considered them there to pick off troops to make sure they didn't do what Luke just did... oops.

I guess what Adywan could do with the AT-STs is not just put a few more in the shots, but actually showing them mow down rebel troops and maybe even doing exactly what I described above: show rebel troops (of course they would look like dots in some of the AT-AT shots) moving below the AT-ATs to follow Luke's lead, but show the AT-STs under the AT-ATs feet shooting down the rebel troops to keep them from "doing the Batman" and throwing explosives into their underbellies.  It would be more along the line of the distant fighting shots on the Death Star in ANH:R, but just a thought...

That way it's not just "throwing more stuff in the picture" but adds more complexity to the battle other than one wall versus another wall; it would show both the Empire and the Rebels reacting on various levels of battle other than the snowspeeders and AT-ATs.  Hell, even showing a fire fight between snowtroopers and rebels on the ground below the AT-ATs (again, they would be mere dots with very small thin beams of lasers shooting back and forth underneath the AT-ATs feet) could be something to mull over.

 

There we go!  They need to seem like a threat and there's no real sense of that because the size of the AT-ATs automatically "takes away" from any threat that the AT-STs should pose.

Adywan,

In Finland they do not say "I am sorry" when someone dies.  They say "I take part."  And that I do, although I do not know you beyond this board it is still easy for anyone to see how great of a person you are and how devastating this must be for your family and you.  For that, I take part in your loss.

Anybody out there have any ideas how to "scrub" away unwanted dialog/FX from the audio channels?  They managed to spread out Goldsmith's score to all 5 main channels (the LFE only comes to life during explosions).  Yeah...I'm ambitious and I obviously won't rest until I've either managed to do this OR cure cancer...whichever comes first.

GREMLINS SEGMENT ON PLAYBACK '84

It's hilarious that the moment I read the comment that C3PX posted, the small ad banner that is randomly generated at the bottom of the topic hints at far more obvious descriptions of what the porn could be:

All I have to say about that is:

UPDATE:

Boy, time sure has flown since my last post!  Truth be told, life's been kicking my ass around for a bit so it's sidelined me a bit.  ThrowgnCpr has also been quite busy, to say the least.  However, the project moves along and until something convinces us otherwise we still are aiming to release this project on time. 

Now it's time to give some info on what we've got so far:

Baby Hum has managed to get us a copy of the BT Gremlins Ad (short version) in 576i and 1080i transport stream versions.  I believe I had him send it to ThrowgnCpr.  Also, if anyone managed ed to read on page 3, Moth3r also provided us with this ad (I've not been able to compare if there's a difference since ThrowgnCpr should have Baby Hum's version).  Big kudos to the two of you

The Griff has been kind enough to donate us a clip from "Agro's Cartoon Connection" which aired in 1995. Segment reporter is Holly Brisley, reporting from Warner Bros' Movie World on the Gold Goast (Queensland, Australia).

Silverwook struck some gold and came up with two NBC promos for an airing of GREMLINS that took place On New Years Day, 1989.

Not one to be TOTALLY lazy, I managed to find this:

It's an "audio book" read by Tom Baker.  This gives us yet ANOTHER option for the aural senses.

Last but not least, my good friend S-10 from the NOES forums has located a Playback 84 show with a Gremlins segment on it. There is a short interview with Spielberg, and then some clips. It lasts around 90 seconds.  There's also an Indy segment and Ghostbusters segment on it.  There are also music videos (of what I don't know as he didn't say).  ANYONE out there needing either the Indy or the GB segment, please contact me and once I receive the disc I'll gladly pass it on to you.

Best laugh I've had in YEARS

NEW YORK—Citing unsafe practices and potential toxic contamination, the Environmental Protection Agency shut down a small ghost- entrapment operation in downtown Manhattan today, and had four of the business' spectral-containment specialists arrested in the process.

According to EPA agent Walter Peck, employees of the company—located in an old fire station in the Tribeca neighborhood of New York—had repeatedly refused to grant him access to their storage facility, which posed a health hazard to the surrounding community.

Hi,

It's been soon 2 months since I updated the thread, but this is going to be included as part of the project that ThrowgnCpr and I are working on (read through the whole thread):

http://originaltrilogy.com/forum/topic.cfm/Mega-Madness-The-Ultimate-Gremlins-Companion/topic/9118/

I originally contacted the creator of the sequence to get some GREMLINS related video game play through clips and he let me know what he was up to.  He kindly offered for it to be included amongst other things....

UPDATE:

Thanks to The Griff, we now have the clip of the Gremlins ride in Australia from 1995!  Not only that,  Bat Gremlin (as he is known on the YouTube site) has FINALLY completed his personal alternative fan sequence for the scene in GREMLINS 2 where the film breaks:

This caught national attention in France, as you can see from the news broadcast below (kindly translated by Bat Gremlin himself):

Once again, the project moves forward and picks up momentum!
