***//BUILDING EMPIRE\\: PAL & NTSC DVD - NEW EDITION NOW ONLINE! ***
Time
Hi all,

Well I have just rendered and burned and watched 'Building Empire'.

There are about 5 little problems that need tidying up at the moment and unfortunately I am away until next tuesday. I promise to get this out before Christmas.

I must say I am happy with the nearly-final product.

Ell, I haven't forgotten about the screenshots you needed.

My distrubution list is quite long already. I think I need some help with a few PiF when it's done.

BUMP!

I am soooo close to finishing this project I just need some commentary for the Wampa sequences. To my knowledge the Wonder Column CD is the only place to find a cast/crew member talking about this deleted scene.

Granted, the CD could be rubbish - Daniels does tend to rant on a bit occassionally. But I at least want to have a listen.

So if anyone has this CD for sale or spots it for sale anywhere, I would be grateful if you could contact me.

Thanks

This is certainly an interesting project and I would love to see what you come up with.

Some consctructive critiscism:

- "You fought in the Clone Wars" is a jump-cut.
- "How did my father die" - Perhaps you need to work on this. Maybe a c/u of Kenobi to mask the lack of lip sync.
- May I also suggest that if you use the 'echoed voice' on the flash backs that you go the whole hog and colourize the flashbacks. Perhaps washed out or with a blurred edge - something to seperate them from the ANH pictures.

WANTED: Anthony Daniels Wonder Column CD

WANTED B/S/T : 'Anthony Daniels Wonder Column CD'

"Anthony Daniels speaks of the filming of this [WAMPA] scene in Number Four of his fantastic "Wonder Column" which can be found in the Star Wars Insider, Issue 29. If you're lucky enough to have the "Wonder Column" audio CD, you'll also hear it as told by Daniels.

It would be great for my project!!

Thanks

Has anyone out there got the Anthony Daniels Wonder Column CD?

It would be great for my project, and be far better that the usual silent galleries.

Thanks

You are quite right ocpmovie, I haven't used any of the ESB Radio Drama. Like you say, it doesn't include any deleted lines.

There are however some sequences that 'point' to the 4th Draft of ESB but are certainly not useable in this project. An example would be the lines where Luke talks to himself whilst hanging in the Wampa cave. The 4th Draft has lines for Luke "Relax, Relax". The audio drama uses simmilar dialogue, but purely out of necessity rather than to integrate scenes missing from the Motion Picture.

Okay I've just received the ESB Super 8mm part 1 reel and my Super 8mm projector throught the post.

After taking a look at the reel I can conclusively say that there are some differences in this cut of the film. Obviously it is in a condensed form, but there are definately some different visual and audio takes used. I count at least four so far.

So, now I need to get hold of part 2 (I've been outbid on two already - grr!). And I need to find a relatively cheap way of getting them telecined.

The search continues.

Thanks for the cover design offer - that would be great.

Okay so the project is nearly done! I know I've said that before, but this thing just keeps on growing!!

Just compare this picture to the one at the start of this thread and see how many more edits there are now.

- C-3P0 Missing Scene
- Wampa attack on Hoth base Missing Scene
- Final Checks

Thanks oojason, we are loving being parents. Wow - doesn't it consume your time though!

So, is anyone out there willing to make a DVD cover for my project. I do have some photoshop skills but seeing that I am struggling to find the time to get the project finished, I wondered if you nice chaps could help me out (again!).

As Building Emprie was inspired by Deleted Magic I guess it should look similar in design - they are cousins of sorts.

Cheers
