Below is a preview of the cover, with the poster's 'hand around the door' image blended into the space on the front cover. Is this what you were thinking of? Did you want me to try it with the other door image? I also changed the top banner to have the Director's name before the film's name.

EDIT: Preview #4 Removed. "Doomed by the Boogeyman" cover has been finished. See the first post in this thread.

Well, below is the cover in its third incarnation. I have left the silver for the time being. I like it, and although I'm willing to try other ideas, I have none at the moment. I changed the spine so that it has "Doomed by the Boogeyman" on the one line. The text is slightly bigger than the previous version of the spine's title. I can still do a 2-line version, or I can make the current version smaller. Let me hear your thoughts on this specifically. I have removed the eyes from the center of the front cover, but I need something to fill the space. I can't think of anything that might fit though. :/ Finally, I changed/added/removed some symbols, again I need ideas on what changes to make their (ignoring placement as I'm not yet up to that).

Meedermow, I agree on the silver being better than the gold, not sure if it'll be a trademark of mine though. Also, rest assured, I will indeed get hi-res versions of this and any other CBB covers out there somehow once they're all done.

Enough babbling from me, here is the latest version:

Thank you for giving your thoughts on the cover, as this cover was intended for your and CBB's benefit. On to the points you raised...

I do think the silver looks better than the 'gold', but I'm happy to try out other things, please give me some ideas. In regards to the title on the spine, it is currently occupying the entire width of the spine so I can't really make it any bigger. The only thing I can do would be to make both "Doomed by the" and "Boogeyman" (the 2 lines of the title) the same size. In comparison to the title at the moment, "Doomed by the" would get bigger and "Boogeyman" would get smaller. Finally, the eyes were a last minute addition to cover up the space in the middle, the next preview will not have them and you'll see what I mean. I need some suggestions as to what could go in place of the eyes.

Like I've said before, once this one's finished, then I can make covers for the other CBB DVDs in the same style.

To everyone else; thank you for the kind comments on the cover (Rikter, segaflip, boon23). Keep the thoughts/opinions coming.

Well, I did a bit of an update. The two 'headings' for the contents and specs of the DVD are now in Bank Gothic. They've also been changed to blue to stand out more. I brightened the red titless, both 'Boogeyman' and 'Doomed by the Boogeyman'. I also changed the spine title to be exactly the same as the one on the front cover. I made the 'banners' silver, and I changed the spine DVD logo to the newer, more common one.

The symbols on the bottom of the back cover are few and I need someone to suggest which ones I use instead of these, in addition to these or whatever. These aren't how they will be placed, was just trying to work out which ones I'd need to use.

Again, please give me any thoughts on the changes, and suggestions on what to improve. Thanks PSYCHO_DAYV and DVD-BOY for replying when nobody else has. I wish boon23 would come take a look at least.

Well, ChainsawAsh, I'm actually doing a preservation of Jaws 3-D at the moment. It's going to be a while before I post anything about it on this board as I'm still gathering materials. However, I will release information here probably around christmas, and eventually I'll be getting people from the board to help spread it to the 3D fans, or Jaws completionists who must have Jaws 3D in their collection.

On a related note; I've just recently seen Friday the 13th Part 3 for the first time (in 2D) and would like to see it in 3D.

--Klokwerk's CBB DVD Covers Thread--

Now that the CBB DVDs will soon find their way to a wider audience, I thought there should be some decent covers to go with them. So, I started designing covers for each CBB DVD. Below is are thumbnail previews of the covers I've completed so far, along with and links to the hi-res versions.

Thanks to meedermow for arranging to host the hi-res jpg versions.

Hi, I have a friend who might have some stuff you could use. I don't know if I'd be able to do a trade with him, but I can tell you what he's got. I am currently on a limited dial-up connection as my router was destroyed in a storm recently, so forgive me if I mention things that have already been covered. It's just too painfully slow to load even one page in a forum thread. Here's the stuff he has, a lot of it probably isn't pertinent to this project, but rather than risk leaving something out by trimming the list, I decided to post the entire thing:

• John Williams interview from 1989 (Has a lot more rare Williams stuff, including a documentary from UK TV from 1980)
• Original teaser and release trailers for SW, ESB & ROTJ (about 20 in total)
• Ben Burtt sound advice
• How the walkers walk
• Storyboard comparison of asteroid sequence in ESB
• Omnibus: George Lucas flying solo
• Omnibus: The Story of Star Wars
• The Force Returns: Sci-Fi Channel Special
• Mark Hamill on The Big Breakfast and GMTV
• George Lucas on The Big Breakfast
• Star Wars: The Magic And The Mystery
• Tatooine Or Bust
• Star Wars Or Bust
• Star Wars Trilogy Special Edition Documentary
• Extensive stills galleries from SW and ESB
• Walter Cronkite visits Lucas at ILM during making of ESB (apparently very rare)
• Star Wars Trilogy Special Edition Electronic Press Kit
• Interview With Hamill & Ford on Today Programme (1980)
• John Williams/C3-P0/R2-D2 concert (7.5mins)
• Exclusive Anthony Daniels Interview (conducted a few years ago)
• George Lucas Interview With Leonard Maltin
• The Lucasfilm Legacy

Let me know if it's worth trying to get any of that stuff for the project. Again, it's hard to strike up trades with him as I don't have much that he needs. Just thought I should try and help out with content for this before it's too late.

Not meaning to sound too anal, but this thread would have been more suited to the "How-To's, and Technical Discussions" forum.


Well, now that digitalfreaknyc's problem has been solved, surely this thread can be moved to the "How to" forum for future reference. By the way, this thread helped me out as I will need to do multiple audio tracks on an upcoming project. So thanks for the information.

Info: Halloween Criterion Special Edition LD
Link
https://originaltrilogy.com/post/id/151524/action/topic#151524
Time

As I’m in Australia, I cannot keep up with all the releases of this film overseas. I have tried to take a look at ‘DVD Compare’, but that site is currently offline. I was just wondering if the LD is worth preserving, because there’s currently an auction for this LD. The features are:

  • Commentary with writer/director/composer John Carpenter, writer/producer Debra Hill and actress Jamie Lee Curtis
  • The original theatrical trailer
  • Separate music and effects track (analog left)
  • Additional footage shot for the 1980 television release
  • Gene Siskel and Roger Ebert give splatter movies the thumbs down while praising Halloween in a controversial 1980 Sneak Previews segment
  • Photo essay on the making of Halloween
  • Photo Essay on splatter films
  • Illustrated filmographies of John Carpenter, Donald Pleasence and Jamie Lee Curtis
  • The cover also contains the famous review by Tom Allen (Village Voice)
  • Genre guide by John McCarty, author of Splatter Movies: Breaking the Last Taboo of the Screen, including capsule reviews of cold-blooded killer movies from The Bad Seed to Halloween 5

It also contains footage from the television release; presented in full-frame. Now, I’m not sure if this auction has the booklet, but it does have the LDs and the cover - and in what looks like near-mint condition. Would it be worth purchasing this to preserve it or are the features already available on the DVD releases?

Ah, so it looks like the German version will include the theatrical version as well as the director's cut. I still don't understand why they couldn't do this via seamless branching. But I like how the German DVDs include anything, anybody know the German Perfect Collection for Halloween (the first film) it's 4 discs; the theatrical cut + extras , the tv cut + extras, more extras and the fourth disc is the soundtrack. What a great collection, hey?

Star Wars: Deleted Magic (Released)
Link
https://originaltrilogy.com/post/id/150744/action/topic#150744
Time
I just thought I should post my impressions after watching this disc (finally I have it thanks to Rikter)...

Deleted Magic has multiple menu screens due to the amount of content on the disc, but they all followed a nice and simple design. One thing to note about the menus is that, in my PC, 2 or 3 menu buttons wouldn't do anything when selected. I think they were "Lapti Nek Video", "Chief Bast clip from Holiday Special" and one other. That's only in my PC though, because when I try to select those same buttons in my standalone everything works fine. Which is great that it all works I just always find those kind of menu problems weird.

The film itself; a very cool deconstruction of Star Wars by assembling all sorts of various material (from making of, behind the scenes, tv specials, etc) playing through in the chronological order of Star Wars. I especially liked seeing the deleted scenes for the first time in a long while (I used to have the Behind the Magic CD-ROM). Overall it was a very interesting way of compiling all of that material and certainly a whole lotta fun to watch. Thank you OCPmovie for giving me an entertaining afternoon away from study (currently studying for exams and this disc was a nice escape). Thanks to OCPmovie for making it and Rikter for sending it to me.

Just wanted to post, now that I've checked out this entire disc. It's great. It's got simple but attractive menus, a good composite job for "Ewok" and a nice collection of little extras. It was the first time I'd seen THX Soundtrack and that was really interesting as I love featurettes about the different of aspects of filmmaking. Thank you for making this disc. Now I gotta find a cover to print out. (Got this from Rikter by the way, just in case you were wondering).

Army of Darkness is the 3rd Evil Dead film and it (like the other Evil Dead films) has many different DVD releases. Based on the recent release of the Evil Dead II Book of the Dead Edition, it's possible we'll see a new release of Army of Darkness in the future.

I can understand that some people don't like Temple of Doom, but wouldn't editing Raiders and Crusade together be kind of pointless? Plus I think it would make all the similarities between the two more obvious.

Help Wanted: WWII style edit of ANH - I need a title for this!

I always thought "Star Wars" in German sounded really cool. I think that the idea of keeping the title in German might be the best. But you could have a similar title to Star Wars in German. For instance, I thought, if you're doing all three films, and end up cutting out enough material that's not suitable for a WWII type edit, then perhaps you could restructure the films from 3 into 2. Then you could have something along the lines of "Star Wars: The Empire" and "Star Wars: The Rebellion" or something.

Sitting and typing this it sounds more confusing and less incredible than I thought. Anyway, "Stern Kriege: Das Reich" and "Stern Kriege: Der Aufstand". My German is pathetic so the "the" particles are probably wrong. Somebody else should come up with a title that sounds cool in German while still pertaining to the concept of this project.
