Here's some interesting stats from myspleen.

bh001 snatched 640 times
bh002 snatched 40 times
bh003 snatched 71 times
bh004 snatched 177 times

And my future plans...

bh005: The A to Z of Star Wars Episode II: Attack Of The Clones. Extras include complete coverage of the opening of EP2 in the UK
bh006: When Star Wars Ruled The World. New NTSC transfer thanks to DigitalFreakNYC. Extras include the extended Triumph the Comic Insult Dog skit from the EP2 line.
bh007: Star Wars: Heroes & Villains. Still with the AOL CD but with a couple of TBC extras AND reauthored to work in all players
bh008: Star Wars: Feel The Force. Extras include all the Sky & Orange trailers plus whatever else I can cram on (maybe some commercials)
bh009: POSSIBLY Generation Jedi, I'm still waiting for a clip I need as an extra.
bh010 onwards: TBC

I'm hoping these will be ready for torrenting in the next couple of weeks depending on work commitments.

Patience. Eventually. With disc and cover art AND menus. AND dual-layer. No single layer version. Rikter has a single layer version. If you want it, ask him.

And no whining about dual layer. It's about time we started realising that dual-layer is here. In a years time I'm hoping all my new releases will be h.264 encoded on Blu-Ray or HD-DVD (or if those idiots at Sony and Toshiba get their act together a unified format). I'm even thinking of delaying Science Of Star Wars for the new format seeing as I have the HD transfers.

When I get to ET, that will have to be a dual-layered release as the documentary is about 90 minutes. I seriously wish I had recorded the TV reunion special that aired on NBC at the time of the re-release. That would be a perfect compliment.

Ash, your contribution would be great. I'll let you know!


Isn't that reunion special on the new DVD version?

OK. Let's clear things up. In answer to many PM's and emails here is what is happening.

1) The ENTIRE babyhum collection is being rereleased. Titles 1 thru 4 (remastered) are currently on myspleen. Any versions of 5 thru 8 currently available are obsolete and are being rereleased in numerical order.

2) The babyhum collection does not end at bh008. Just because I'm working with DigitalFreakNYC on his Indy material does not mean I'm forgetting my collection. In fact, some future babyhum releases will be using source material provided by DigitalFreakNYC. And believe me, the quality of his stuff is incredible. (digital transfers!)

3) There are certain parties currently offering my material on eBay and usenet claiming it to be theirs. I believe they are members of this forum. If this continues I will start watermarking or cease releasing all together. I would like as many people to see this stuff but not if somebody else is taking credit for it. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!

regards
babyhum

p.s. bh002 rerelease is now available on myspleen. Go grab it kids.

p.p.s. Have I upset you Rikter? I seem to have disappeared from your props list!!!

I think you'll find the source for all of the making of documentaries including the Star Wars and Indy ones from the seventies and eighties are going to be that quality as they were shot on 16mm. Unfortunately, 35mm was far to expensive to shoot a documentary on, and video was still relatively in its infancy. Bearing in mind the DVD transfer was made from a laserdisc, I think it was very good quality. I'm eagerly awaiting digitalfreaknyc's discs to see how they compare. And before you ask, there will be NO reencoding to get more than one show on a disc. They will be simple, single programme discs with a single menu (and possibly a credits page)

The new versions of bh002,3 & 4 should be online within the next few days. The only re-release available at the moment is bh001.

And for those of us who do not want to download the whole disc again, perhaps you could up just the artwork? I would love to have the artwork from the original Heroes and Villains disc for instance that can be seen on the back of the cover of bh007.

When it's re-released I'll make sure the artwork is available as a seperate torrent.

Can I ask where you got these Palitoy ads? I have been searching for them for a couple of years now!

They are amazing quality for their age!

Thanks again.
JD


They were all recorded by myself in 1983 on Betamax and transferred to miniDV a couple of years ago. That's all the Palitoy commercials I have but I do have quite a few more pieces of vintage footage that will eventually end up as extras on my future releases.

Thanks in advance

NOTE: The material on this DVD was available for a short time on NTSC VHS but has been out of print for a while which is why I have made the decision to release this version.

Description:
In an oasis of calm, far, far away from the tumult of excitement that was leading up to the premiere of Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace, Bill Moyers joined George Lucas at Skywalker Ranch in northern California to talk about the ancient myths and personal values that have synthesized into Star Wars. The epic themes in Lucas' cinematic stories are a springboard for a candid conversation about family, fatherhood, spiritual beliefs, and the importance of moral tales for every generation. Intercut with movie footage from the original trilogy as well as the newly-released prequel, The Mythology of Star Wars with George Lucas and Bill Moyers provides a revealing journey in the company of the filmmaker through some of the most famous scenes of the Star Wars saga.
