Jambe Davdar

Yeah I found it there last night. Was just about to post that I'd found it. Thanks anyway!

The first shot in this fan video is the one shot I can't seem to find anywhere... Any ideas folks? It's a great shot. UPDATE - FOUND IT!

Thanks dvdmike.

I am currently trying to compile all of the ROTJ Jabba footage I can for my next short project coming in February 2015.

I did this back in 2008 for Returning to Jedi of course but I have long since lost all the media files for that project. Another HDD failed! Same old story.

So, I wonder if you guys and girls can help. This is the list of sources I have so far:

- Harmy's Despecialized ROTJ
- Empire of Dreams
- MTV When Star Wars Ruled the World
- JW Rinzler ebook edition of the Making of ROTJ
- From Star Wars to Jedi, the making of a saga
- ROTJ Classic Creatures
- SW Blu ray

Is there anything else that leaps to mind?

Also I am desperately trying to track down any other behind the scenes photos of Jabba. Apart from the few seconds in Making of a Saga and a tiny thumbnail in the Rinzler book has anyone ever scene more of the Action Man puppeteer model of Jabba for instance? Also need to find some photos of Jabba's internal workings. I've got the footage from the docos about, but if you know of anything else, please shout!

Thanks in advance.

Hi all,

Its been a while...

But I thought you might like to know I am now producing some short interviews augmented with behind the scenes footage and stills. I've already spoken to Kevin Pike about BTTF. You can find them on vimeo.

Here's my latest on ROTJ's location effects.

I hope you like them.

Next up is Jabba puppeteer Toby Philpott.

I have no plans for an update.

There wasn't an insert. As for case artwork, I'll see what I can dig up.

Today I was at a loose end so I've begun to update Star Wars Begins. But only in terms of updating the subtitled facts and idents to HD. I won't be putting in any 'new' material for now. I'll eventually replace the old version with this HD version on Vimeo. Maybe one day I'll update the video quality with Harmy's Despecialized Edition and add additional scenes that have come to light with the BR and the ebooks. But that will be on the back burner for now.

I'd be happy to do a HD scan of it.

Harmy said:

Yeah, Jambe already released this as a separate DVD, so if you wanted, you could get it (I think it's on Spleen) and burn it and put it in the box with the DeEd.

The Miami version is on Vimeo too.

Or you can download it if you log in to Vimeo!

I've never screened it, so I'm not sure if it has those scenes missing or not!

Thanks Harmy. I am a fan of your work!

Er, yes a 1080p projector, though I hear its backward compatible with 180p ;)

My sister came up with a Star Wars name game a couple of decades ago. That name was the result!

Hey Harmy. An honor? Haha!

I think your work is incredible sir. I will have to dig out my old myspleen login then. (FOUND IT)

Just got a torrent from a google search. Can't remember where.

Are you on twitter?

Forgive me if this has already been addressed. Sadly I don't have time to read all 459 pages and a search was not fruitful. Ive tried twice to download V2.5 from a torrent and both times its stuck at 77%. Any idea why this might have happened? Any help would be appreciated.

Also wanted to add that I've just bought a 180p projector and I want this to be the first and last version of Star Wars I watch on it, apart from Ady's marvellous version of course. Thanks for your continued, brilliant work guys!

I've still got a 16mm version of SPFX The Empire Strikes Back that I got off ebay a while back. I need to sell the damn thing!

There are also covers here - https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/7702292/Filmumentary%20Covers/SWFilmumentaryCovers.zip

Thanks for the continued interest!

I agree that the TV takes should be included. I didn't realise they had shot different no sweary takes. Thanks for the info!

TV's Frink said:

Ten thumbs up out of ten.

Side note: I don't remember contributing anything to this project, but thanks for putting me in the credits anyway!

Thanks for all the offers of help. I don't think I'll need the TV version unless it really is that different.

The music video with cameos would be great, thank you!

Ronster, thanks for the interview link!

I wish you the best of luck.

Hi folks. As you may know, I’ve just finished my Jaws filmumentary project and as always I am looking for something to get my teeth into.

Yesterday I started reviewing the resources available to do a Ghostbusters filmumentary having just read Don Shay’s amazing The Making of Ghostbusters book again.

As far as I can tell there is quite a lot of material out there, though I would of course probably have to do some of my own interviews.

This is the list I have so far:

Ghostbusters DVD release
Ghostbusters BR release
Scene Cemetary
1984 Featurette
SFX Featurette
Music Videos (Need)
USA TV Broadcast (Need)
Teaser Trailer (Need)
SFX Museum with Richard Edlund
CD Soundtrack (to buy)
A few vids off youtube (already borrowed).

Is there anything else you guys know of?

Thanks
Jamie

Hello all!

Long time no see! Glad to see the community is still thriving.

After completing Raiding the Lost Ark in 2012, I immediately embarked on a new project, tentatively called Jaws Bites Back. After 16 months of trawling, reading, spooling, skyping, chatting, interviewing, editing and refining, I am pleased to release Inside Jaws, A Filmumentary (2013). As with my other filmumentaries this is a completely unofficial and non profit making project made with a genuine affection for the film. Please share the link with your friends.

I would like to extend my thanks to all of the lovely, kind people that helped me on this voyage. In particular Jim Beller (of JawsCollector.com) , a Jaws expert, no, THE Jaws expert was always on call to answer my questions and give suggestions. The Jaws community as a whole really have helped motivate me to keep this project swimming forward and to make a good job of it. You’re a great bunch of people!
For this project I unearthed some unheard interviews with cast members and I conducted some interviews myself. So even you big Jaws fans should find plenty of new things to enjoy!

You can find the final video here - https://vimeo.com/68400837.

I still have a 16mm copy of SPFX sitting in my cupboard. Given that the version on the blu ray hasn’t been cleaned up, I wondered if anyone would consider this as a litte (big) project?

The film itself is in reasonable quality. I’ve never screened it but it looks ok to the naked eye. There is some discolouration, the film looks fairly purple.

Let me know what you think.

Hi all!

Last week I posted some clips that Darth Neo (of StarwarsArchives) had given me a while ago for my updated Miami Film Festival version of Building Empire (which you can see on Vimeo.com).

He contacted me and was up happy that I had done so. But after a bit of chat, we sorted it out and got full credit for him on an article on movies.com. He has since said that he will upload the first 15 minutes of the documentary in better quality if he gets some good support on his Facebook group. I think he just wants to share it with as many people as possible. So make sure you "like" the group next time you're there.

I hope everyone is doing well. Despite not visiting here much recently, I still have a huge affection for this site and what all you guys and girls are doing! Keep up the great work!

P.S - I am continuing to work on Inside Jaws and should be done in a matter of months.
