Opinions wanted (VO Demo Reel)...
Time

So I'm an actor working in NYC and I've just cut my first voiceover demo for character/impersonations. I'm going to be revising it and I wanted to know what people thought of it. If you had any experience in this field, all the better. I'm going to be submitting this to agents and managers with the hope that I'll be signed.

I'm currently working on my legit demo with my regular speaking voice as well.

Here you go:

As I said, ALL opinions welcome. I'd really appreciate it.

Se7en: Criterion Edition preservation set
Time

skoal said:


Hi all, I like DF's releases, they're really good, however I was looking into Se7en and was wondering, what exactly isn't on the 'Collector's Edition' DVD that's on the Criterion Laserdisc?

DF's Disc 2 contains: Dailies, TV Spots, Original Introduction with Commentary, Make-Up Video Essay with
Commentary, Production Design Video Essay with commentary, over 1000 photographs in a photo gallery,
original motion picture score (audio only) and an easter egg.

And this review site indicates: " It was a fabulous array of material, and the only things missing from New Line's Platinum Series two-DVD set are the make-up effects with commentary by Rob Bottin, the outtakes with Brad Pitt, the deleted artwork for posters, and a few other things (which Pitt and Fincher even mention in their commentary on this DVD release). And of course, the many commentaries — some short, some feature length — seem to be new." http://www.dvdjournal.com/reviews/s/seven2.shtml

What exactly are the "few other things" as it seems DF's Disc 2 has more stuff that's was on the 'Collector's Edition' DVD than wasn't. Can anyone elaborate? Thanks.


The only carry-over is the alternate opening, I believe. EVERYTHING else is new. That review is incorrect.

Just finished checking out the 16mm of - The Creatures from Revenge of the Jedi.

It might have some scenes that were not released before, we will check. The quality is very good for the condition that it is in.

It's pretty grainy, but not that distracting. We will be doing some light cleanup on it.

This version is about 11 minutes long.

That's certainly not Classic Creatures, then. I wonder what it is.

Editing headers on ts/m2ts files (error with tsmuxer/videoredo)
Time

I seem to have a problem with all of my recorded files created with my Hauppauge 1212.
After recording, I edit using VideoReDo and then use MultiAVCHD to author a disc. All files that are authored come out with a jump at the beginning, with the files themselves seemingly losing 3 frames.

Now, the odd thing is that the files are still ok. If I wanted to re-encode all of them, I could and the problem would disappear so it's not as if something has been re-encoded or cut. It's a playback issue and it only happens after the editing from VRD. For example, if I took the raw file from the Hauppauge and authored that, it wouldn't be a problem.

However, I'd rather figure out what TSmuxer (by way of Multiavchd) is doing to the files. For some reason, whenever it gets a hold of them to change from ts to M2TS (or even just from .ts to .ts), they come out with this problem.

After asking people about this issue on videohelp, I was told that smartcutters sometimes screw around with the information in the header and that is most likely causing this problem. Does anyone have any experience with this type of issue or know how I could correct the header so that I don't have to re-encode all of my files?

To me, for bonus features, like making ofs, VHS quality is good enough. Unless there are scenes in it that are not in the movies, and can be put back in the movie for alternate editions.


Then don't bother downloading it. It's that simple.

And make sure you don't come back into this thread to a) look for updates or b) argue your point further.

We have only currently had access to the sources, and the scans.

Which is why we didn't mention it previously.



Most likely we will include one with each movie released.

However, there will be a disc with all of them on there so you won't have to wait for all of them to be released separately.

This is just fantastic news! Any idea of a timeline? And what about the 2 Raiders docs?

Harmy's STAR WARS Despecialized Edition HD - V2.7 - MKV (Released)

Just a thought... But...


I'm sure both Fox and Disney would love to sell the original versions of the trilogy since they only care about making money and selling the original trilogy would be a cash cow. However, I'm willing to bet that Lucas foresaw that possibility and he likely included a stipulation that says Disney and/or Fox cannot release the original trilogy without his permission otherwise the rights to the films revert back to him.


He may not be a good filmmaker, but he is a savvy businessman.


Wow. Great thing you brought that up. It's never been discussed before and no one ever had that thought before either.

Both Raiders docs made it to Laserdisc in the U.S., so there are no subtitles to contend with. Can't recall if anyone ever undertook a preservation of them.

The Making of Indiana Jones and The Temple of Doom never had a video release at all, AFAIK.


;) Yours truly did.

But, surely, the 16mm would look better than the laserdisc.
