Simply: Not at all.

Okay, thanks to SilverWook and starwarsarchives.com I'm down to two missing pictures. I got a better version of the one with Luke on the turrett, but it's still missing his left foot and the pedals.

In case you didn't see it in my thread here, here's a little video I made of the scenes, that were in the ROTJ Trailer, but not in the movie.

Thanks, Silverwook, I'll try that.

I don't care if you have the pictures I want, because I won't support your greedy behavior. Now get out, before I loose my contenance.

That's what I thought. You may leave my thread now.

I reuploaded these:

About 2 1/2 years ago I made some covers for the German G'Kar SE DVDs. I completely recreated the german VHS covers in HiRes:









Just click the Pics to download these...

Dude, that was a simple "yes" or "no" question.
Am I talking to a bot here?

Are you willing to share your stuff with me, even if I don't have anything you want?

I could upload my stuff, which isn't very much, but that's all I can offer you.
Are you interested in just OT stuff or PT and (T)CW stuff too?

Well, I'm interested. Can you upload that stuff anywhere?

Nowadays, when a classic Film comes to DVD or BluRay, the german distributors almost always won’t add the german movie trailers to the bonus features. They take the english trailers and put subtitles on it.
In times of VHS you got to see german trailers, if there were any on these tapes. The 1990 “Silver Screen Collection” Fullscreen VHS Tapes of the Original Trilogy contained the german trailers to all three films as well as to the first “Ewoks” film (these weren’t even on the LDs). I really loved these trailers and was very disappointed that they weren’t saved to the digital age.

With the DVD’s distribution in 2004, I started to think of recreating the trailers for everyone to see them as they were presented thirty years ago.
But it took another 7 years for me to finally get the first version of my favorite trailer out; “Das Imperium schlägt zurück”.

Learning to use After Effects from scratch, using Adywans color corrected HD version as a base I rectreated the trailer and finally got to see it in HD AND widescreen, since the titlecards were crammed in a 4:3 picture on VHS. I named it version 1.0, since there were a few scenes I wasn’t really satisfied with. Two scenes in the trailer were not in the movie, but I could replace these shots with, in one case, the exact shot from another trailer from the 2004 bonus DVD, and in the other case with an alternate shot from the same source. The Lightsabers were uncolored in the trailers, but I left the scenes the way they were, since that was a problem I’d solve with version 2.0, IF I would ever do one.

You can watch v1.0 of the trailer here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8jfHfPr8nY0

With Harmy’s Despecialized Edition v2.5 of “Star Wars” getting closer and Laserschwert’s efforts to get a german version of it out, I remembered my trailer project for “Krieg der Sterne” wich I started in 2011 but left it alone since. With Laserschwert’s help, providing tipps and material I finally got v1.0 finished which will also be released on the BluRay of “Krieg der Sterne” Laserschwert is currently working on. Although I wanted to do it in 1080p, I later realized that there were a lot more SE changes in the HD versions than I thought. So I turned to Harmy’s Despecialized Edition and made a 720p version, which works fine for me.

So, yesterday I started working on the trailer for “Die Rückkehr der Jedi-Ritter”. I took Harmy’s Despecialized Edition 1.0 and started editing. And then I relized that a lot of scenes from the trailer were not in the movie. The trailer runs about two minutes. If you substract the title cards and the fox logo (which also looks different in the trailer), it runs 1:26 (2064 frames). 38 seconds of material in the trailer, that’s 916 frames, are not in the movie. These are all alternate takes or the scenes are longer than in the movie. I tried to get the missing material from the trailers on the 2004 DVD but the scenes were eventually shorter or not available. So for now I can not recreate this trailer since I don’t have the right materials.

I made a small youtube video of the scenes, that are in the trailer, but not in the movie: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xClYZmolp-c

I will start to work on v2.0 of the “Krieg der Sterne” Trailer anytime soon…

So are we, TiiN (nice to see you outside of SWU).

Well, I'd love to tell you a date, but it's more like "when we're done".

Thanks SilverWook, but I thought more of official photos or professional scans than of moire effected book scans. However, the TFN link has some interesting material.

And the ebay link: that's the same cropped photo I already have.

I found a really good scan of the Star Wars Storybook. But the pictures I need are either not in there or too small to be useable.

I'm trying to recreate (the german version of) the read along book from the original Star Wars. I have almost every picture, but I'm having problems to find the last 2 in high quality and/or resolution. I tried moviestillsdb.com as well as google image search:



Here I already have a HiRes version, but it's rotated and cropped and I'm looking for an uncropped version:


I hope anyone here can help me.

One of the most funny videos of them (IMO) is the Resident Evil movies review:

Okay. I did not mess up. The company that did the german tape did. Instead of changing the framerate, they just converted it to PAL (altough I don't know if it would have been possible in 1982 to correctly ICTV a 29.976 fps video). So the PAL audio IS in perfect sync to the NTSC video without any further tinkering.

I think I messed up the capture. I'm trying it again right now, with a few changes. I see if it worked in about 2 hours.

I asked, because I have the same problem as this guy here:

http://originaltrilogy.com/forum/topic.cfm/Matching-VHS-audio-to-a-DVD-video/topic/15348/

I want to sync the audio of the german Making of Star Wars VHS Tape to the BluRay version of the documentary. But it gets in and out of sync a lot, although it has the same length and fps (after a little conversion).

Oh yeah. You put the gout and the Czech file on two different video tracks in your editing suite of choice (make sure they're both the same frame rate), increase the opacity of the top most video track and sync away.

I assume you just did not slow down the audio but also corrected the pitch?

I slowed down the audio, thus the pitch got lower, which resulted in the correct pitch.
