Rikter:
Looks like you're going to have to remove the Batman Beyond DVD-Rs from your list, or at least the first season because....
Batman Beyond: Season 1 boxset has been announced.

The sample scan you provided looks good. If you do get around to making a disc containing all the extras from the tapes, surely a DVD-ROM section with the covers would be a good idea? I might request some cover scans, but at the moment my internet's too slow to download them (reverted to dial-up). I must say congratulations on capturing all these tapes.

Forgive me for asking what may be a stupid question, but you owned all these 30-odd tapes? Wow. I have the trilogies on tape as well, but only the '97 fullscreen set, the '97 widescreen set and the '95 fullscreen set. I meant to sell the '95 fullscreen set on ebay, and I did for about AU$40, but I sent the '95 widescreen tapes by accident, much to my dismay. I had intended to sell them later on for about AU$100 as that was what they were going for at the time.

Anyway... I just wanted to ask, do you still have all of these tapes? Perhaps you could offer up some hi-res scans of the rarer covers, such as the 1994 fullscreen ROTJ that oojason mentioned. Pretty please?

Also, I think my local video shop may have the 1986 trilogy VHS. I don't know why they would have such an old set, but I do not see the versions that they have in that long list of covers you posted. Do you have any pics of the 1986 tapes and maybe I could check for you?

A COVER REQUEST:
When I purchased my Revenge of the Sith DVD, I got a slipcase with it. Unfortunately it was a little damaged and by the time I'd gone back to switch it - they'd sold out of the DVDs with the slipcases. I was wondering if somebody who has them wouldn't mind knocking up a set of them. Just a set that converts scans of the limited edition slipcases to single-width amaray DVD cases. I know there must be somebody on here with all 3 slipcases. I tried scanning my ROTS one but the damage is apparent.

I recommend a 600 or even 1200dpi scan, then touch it up a bit, resize to 300dpi and format it to the proper dimensions (at least this is what I was planning to do). Please post here if anybody is willing to create this particular set of covers.

I'm sure there's a trustworthy individual on these forums that has a decent LD player that you could negotiate with about getting a transfer done. Also, do you have a decent scanner? I'd love to use the front of that box set as a jewel case cover for the soundtracks/scores for the films.

I hate to be picky, but the trilogy cover of yours should say "the evil Lucasfilm Empire." not "the evil LucasArts Empire." Other than that they're a nice set of inksaver covers.

Sarcasm from the last two posts aside... It really couldn't be done, at least I don't think so. Disney films especially have the 'message' interwoven fairly tight with the plot. I think there may be a couple of films where they may be over-the-top in regards to pointing out the 'message', and they might be able to be trimmed if you want to have a go at that. The thing is that even with those films, you wouldn't be able to remove the message and all the song-and-dance numbers. The film would be severely hacked up afterwards and not make much sense. I suppose you could always take a crack at the numerous Disney sequels. They'd probably look better after a handful of edits. Then again, I am of the mind that most Disney sequels shouldn't exist.

Please don't take offense to what I've written. It's merely my opinion on what you've suggested.

I think ShabbyBlue's point is that having both an isolated score track, and then another that is the same bar the commentary is kind of redundant. Maybe we could see something like that on HD-DVD/BD because of the extra storage capacity. However, at the moment, DVDs usually feature an isolated score track, or an isolated score track with commentary. One or the other, not both. Still, don't get upset about it. No crime has been committed. I recall a thread on these boards where people put wishlists of features for a definitive Star Wars DVD set. Have you created any other covers?

Yes, but the 'ghost mechanics' of the Star Wars universe are different to those of the Harry Potter universe. Incidentally, they don't really do all that much with the ghosts in the HP films. I forget which HP book explains why some people become ghosts rather than passing on. In any case, it would cheapen the emotional impact of Dumbledore's death to have him come back as a ghost. Sidenote: I am hoping that John Williams comes back for the 6th instalment in the film franchise, just to hear what he would do with that whole sequence musically.

Lord Phillock:
Cool cover. I like the Special Features that you've put on there too. However, you're skilled at making covers, so why not make some for DVDs that actually exist? Not being harsh, would just like to see you do some covers that I could print out. Good luck on any future covers.

Well it gives a very brief summary of the features, and a map on how to access them all. I just wish that page had included a list of what the features actually are. :/ Would somebody want to take up the insane job of using the map from that page and then compiling a list of all the features on the disc? Please?

Well I'll make him more pale, and I'll do something about the eye too. I liked the diagonal ordering of the teaser text too. Just with this new picture/layout, I've yet to find a way to make it all fit together with the diagonal text. You might see it diagonal in the next preview.

Well I've put in a 'placeholder' image on the front covera and made Hannibal more pale. I have also edited the teaser poster text so that the last word (Hannibal) is in red. Should I leave it as red or revert it back to white? Also, is Hannibal pale enough?

I'll have a go at making Hannibal more pale. In the meantime the search continues for a decent Hannibal pic to use for the front cover. If anybody comes across any please post them or direct me to them. I had a good idea for the front image, but I can't make it happen as there aren't anym images I can use.

I like that cover, I'd say it's my favorite CBB cover design that you guys have done so far.

And I actually can't wait to see this one. I wanted to see Man on Fire in the cinemas but I was never able to.

Well, I've acquired a slightly different version of the image used on the poster. It is not as dark and seems to show more of Hannibal's face. I would like to replace this picture also, but I'm working with what I've got. Anyway, due to the slightly different proportions of this image, it means I had to rearrange the cover a bit. I still have both versions on my PC, but I need to know which is the better of the two. The other changes are: I made the MGM logo slightly smaller. I added the newly created title on the back and also used this as a base for the front and spine.

Now, below I've put the previous preview (#3), and below that, the latest preview (#4) to show you what I mean. This is the best way to decide which is the better layout/pic combo of the two.

Hi.

Just wondering if any Nightmare on Elm Street fans could provide me with a complete listing of the extras available on the 8th disc that has all the bonus features. I'm in R4 and I'm trying to establish if the R1's have any additional features. TIA.

I have corrected the release date (year) of the film to 2001. I had accidentally left it as 2005 from Boogeyman. I also did some colorizing of that poster image. Now instead of being all red it has more of a realistic skintone and the eye has been changed to blue. For now, this is the best I can do as no other images will suffice. Boon23, I tried incorporating the pics you posted but they just didn't work out. If anybody can provide some hi-res hannibal images that they think I might be able to use, please do so.

In regards to the 'strange' things going on at the top of the back cover, that is just the old version of the poster. If you look closely you may be able to see what color the skin used to be before I changed it. The title of the film will be removed when I'm able to do so and I will add a new recreation of the film's title via a text layer using a very similar font. Anyway, here it is...

Ash595:
I believe that the quality must be really great. And since this was never released on home video or even shown on TV (as far as I'm aware), I'm just wondering where it came from. Also, I think I remember reading you stating that it had two audio tracks is that correct?

I could take a crack at it. I had wanted to put a "CBB Group" logo on the covers that I'm designing. However, the closest thing was the logo-like CBB branding at the top of the spines of some of the CBB DVD covers. If you give me an idea of what font to use for "CBB Group" I could probably create a short animated logo.
