Hey all. I've just made a deal with myself. I'm going to try to finish SWB before the year is out. Fingers crossed. JD

It was the 1997 Special Edition. And thanks for reminding me why I don't take the time to post very often these days.

I managed to get there just in time on friday night. Was so great to see TESB on the big screen again. I haven't seen it for over 10 years.

Thanks to the Elstree Heritage Group!

Sorry for the delay folks. House move is happening quicker that initially thought. I will be in contact in a couple of weeks.

Yeah, saw it last night (thanks to sluggo and CSP).

Very interesting and a great find. To my knowledge, I don't think I've ever seen anything about the graphics used in SW before.

Thanks for posting.

The Fett footage sounds like its the same stuff on the 2004 DVDs, or was it on one of the prequel docos? (its on the Miami RTJ version now anyway). The Stunt man in sun glasses getting his belt on etc. Maybe it was some extra footage from that shoot. Hmm, I will have to investigate. If you find any more leads on this SpikeTV footage, please give me a shout.

Thanks mate.

I will try to get them out this week. My wife's due date was yesterday and on the very same day we were told we have to move out of our rented accommodation. So bear with me.

I am re-transcoding the video to fix a silly problem that I hadn't noticed. That should take about 6 hours or so. Then I will transfer it to DVDSP and burn the disc. Should be done by tomorrow. I will then send out the four copies as promised. Please all confirm your postal addresses via email or PM.

Thanks

Once I get the disc I'll have a pop at a PAL > NTSC transcode (it's just a straight play, no menus, right?)

Will report back when it's done.

Both have a one button static menu.

Although Moth3r kindly transcoded them to NTSC m2v's for me, I then realised there was a problem with the one part of the doco. So there isn't an NTSC version yet.

I am sure someone will come forward to help though ;)

Was the version shown the same as the one you sent to me for a NTSC conversion?

Just had a look at the MUFF website. Your bio says you are "currently working on a RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK project in the same vein."

Is that true? Because I'd love to see that.

Yep it was that version. As for the Raiders project....possibly ;)

No report back from the Miami Underground Film Festival yet. Though, my contact there promised to take some photos of the event. I'll post any details as soon as I have them.

The differences includes some fixes and corrections as well as some implementation of footage from the 'lost' 'Making of The Empire Strikes Back' thanks to the kindness of Darth Neo. The disc doesn't include any of the extras. It's simply the feature length doco.

Any takers.

Thanks lads. We have full access to shooting at the studios, so thats not a problem. The Elstree Heritage are involved.

I am really looking out for photos that show people in or outside of the studios. Particularly those showing Lucas, Spielberg and Hitchcock or anything related to the Hammer films shot there.

Thanks for you help.

And to those that have PM'd me lately... I need a bit of a clear out before I can reply. Standby.
