I'll be praying for you DrCrow.

 And me too.

 No, I will not be praying for you.

 Ha ha.

They've got a big problem, which is that Harrison Ford is one hell of an actor.  Replacing anybody would be difficult, but replacing him with another actor?  They either look extraordinarily hard for someone out there who is not like the rest of his generation, or else just give up.

Also it innovated the exchange of "I think he's a she" "In that case be extra careful" which I emulated in my own edit.

 I can't take credit for that one; that was "MTHaslett", who I worked with closely on the story for this edit.

I was able to see past the workprint aspect.

 Thank you; that is what I was hoping for when I made the workprint available.  It was never intended to be shown, but now that it is, I am glad that you see what I was trying to drive at.

No, no plans to return.

I took a quick look at it and there's some very creative work there. I'd definitely watch it as part of a "fun" view of the saga, alongside stuff like the "Funked Up" TPM, Grindhouse ANH, etc. I don't mean it to sound derogatory, just that it looks more like a fun option than a theatrical cut.

 I tried watching it last night and it was barely watchable for me.  Partly because I remembered all the edits I made, partly because I spliced in footage and music from other films and while that didn't used to bother me, it does now.  Partly because the ADR work would have needed to have been redone professionally, and probably because for what I was trying to do, additional footage would have had to have been shot.

I was just trying to make the most out of the movie; I think someone said it best when they said it was a great "proof of concept."  In terms of the music flowing and the editing making sense and being synchronized to the music, I'd say this edit ranks up there with the best of them.

Did you split it into separate rars?

 No-in retrospect that was pretty stupid to attempt a one single file upload without any way to see the download progress.

Failed to upload to mega, uploaded the spleen torrent file instead (which seems to have a lot of seeders).  For the torrent file, please send me a PM.  Thanks,

-TM

Still going-if it's not done in a couple hours I'll have to abort the attempt and try something else later.  At least I know that Erik has made a high-quality version available on Myspleen. 

If this doesn't work out, I will help Erik to seed the film until everybody who wants it gets it.  And remember-it's just a workprint!  It's rough around the edges.  Some won't be able to enjoy it because it's not finished.  But for those who do enjoy this version-they tend to really enjoy it.

-TM

DVD-9 file is still uploading, have no idea how long it will take.

Thanks, Erik.  Now, the question is, should I drop the megaupload file and help seed Erik's torrent?  I think I'm going to finish uploading the dual-layer, because someone will probably want it at some point.

Just don't post the link in here directly as it's against forum rules (copyrighted material & all). I was called on it when I did the same with my in progress sound archive, so as annoying as it is, it's best to send people the link via PM.

 I kind of figured as much.

That's why Kim Dotcom made MEGA.co.nz instead. Same guy, same kind of site, SLIGHTLY different name.

 Thanks.  Let's see how it goes...

I remember megaupload and used to use it, but according to an article I just read, the Feds "smashed" megaupload in 2012 and it no longer exists.

If it's easier to upload to vimeo, I can try to download it before it gets blocked and put it on the spleen.

 How is the quality on vimeo?  If it is good, maybe we should do it that way.  I don't know what the window is before it gets taken down.

Or how about this:http://www.dropsend.com/

If it really works up to 8 GB, I could try to send you the dual-layer version if I had your email.

It looks like it has 0 seeders and 4 leechers; I don't know what that means in practical terms to get it to work. 

It looks like Erik has been kind enough to put the DVD-5 up on Myspleen, but it needs seeders.

-TM

Since this may take awhile to get worked out, does anyone have a DVD-5 that they can put up in the meantime?

-TM

EDIT: PM me.

And neither does my old signature picture.  It used to be a picture of Jar-Jar in an Emperor's cloak.  Combined with the caption, it used to be funny.

EDIT: (before Episode III came out and it was revealed that the Emperor was not Jar-Jar)

I've ended the project (for one thing, the software used to edit it has been having glitches, and I'm not entirely sure where all the files are).  I'm also trying to branch out and put my limited time and energy into something original.

But never say never. When I get a good editing system in place again, and with the rough cut as reference, who knows...I could put something together very similar to the rough cut.  But that's a decision I have not made, and realistically, probably will not make unless there's some other factor I haven't considered yet.

I mean a complete cut of the film was finished in 2007, but it was very unpolished.

I tried to upload the workprint to myspleen, but I get an error message every time.  Is there anyone out there with a copy of the workprint in dual-layer that could do this for me?  Unfortunately I'm pretty sure I'm the only one.

Is there another service that's easier to use than myspleen?  I really want to get this out to you guys.  It's the least I can do to thank you for hanging with the project for so long.

Just logistically 50 different sets is INSANE. If you're giving yourself a year, I strongly recommend taking a good long look at the script, and finding scenes that can take place at the same location, or be shot on the same location standing in for different locations.  Just travel will kill you.

I shot a film where a small box canyon, with a couple props and different times of day and angles stood for four different locations. 

I acted in a film where a racquetball court was both a dystopian prison cell, and with the addition of a file cabinet  and a plant, served as a office for a close-up dialogue scene. 

 Thanks for the insight; lots to think about.

Yes, multiple accounts is a major no no. (Multiple personalities are your own lookout.) If you're sure you want to stick with your old one, I will ban the other one to prevent shenanigans.

 Hi Silverwook,

I still have the password for this one, so go ahead and ban the other one.  Thanks

this seemed as though it was a really ambitious project. i would love to see the work print. 

 It was basically a remake of the movie that happened to have the same actors in it.  The tone was completely different.  You'll see once you get a copy of the film.
