‘The 501st | Our Duty’…

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bwx0ODb0pKE (by Heroes Fan Productions - who do a fair few quality videos)

‘This one is the longest I’ve ever done. The story of the 501st is a collective narrative of many different characters (mostly Clone troopers) who got the worst of the war. I wanted to explore the perspective of these soldiers and get a feel of how the war ACTUALLY was in Star Wars (the clone wars specifically). It was truly a tragedy just like many other characters in this universe. I really did enjoy making this one and I hope you will all enjoy it!’

Cool fan-made animation (more B-Wings in anything for me please 😃)…

‘WIP #2 Animation of two B-Wings returning from combat. Many improvements, low light tracing settings will cause some flickering’:-

That looks crazy 😮

He has done a few updates to it since (which you find in the reddit thread; mainly smoothing over the movements and adding detail) - the latest is this one:-

He also has a youtube channel which may be of interest (a few Star Wars CGI videos on there) - https://www.youtube.com/user/HowieDay82/videos

‘Climate change: Warming threatens Himalayan glaciers’…

Just a little excerpt… ‘The impacts that the scientists are worried about will hit not just those living in the mountains, but also the 1.65 billion people living in the river valleys below - all are vulnerable to flooding and the destruction of crops.’
 

Have never seen the film (and have no idea on how to isolate dialogue) - though your ‘first 5 minute’ Re-edit certainly has a pretty decent 80’s vibe and feel to it - nicely done.

Quality that, Snooker - great sound effects too.

I guess no Super Bowl teaser this year? We’re probably going to get a teaser attached to Avengers Endgame in April.

Could well be mate - maybe a teaser or mini-trailer of some kind at Celebration 2019 (10-14 days) before that?

I’m quite enjoying Season 2 of Discovery so far (it feels more ‘Trek-like’ this season - not that I didn’t enjoy Season 1 as an introduction) - though perhaps a big plus of that is that it’s on Netflix here in the UK - and not on an CBS additional pay channel. I’m not too sure what else CBS-Pay would have of interest for me to pay an additional monthly fee just to watch Disc (or a couple of other decent shows) on that channel.

‘Wives With Knives’, ‘Clergy Killers’ and repeats of Judge Judy just wouldn’t cut it 😉

I am wondering if we’ll see Sybok (or a reference to him) in Discovery soon…

I don’t think I’ve ever seen TLJ and TFA on opposite sides of a ranking before. I assume it comes down to director, but apart from that are there any reasons for the divide?

Because TFA was such a letdown.

I love this about the community here - everyone having their own preferences and favourites, of course… and on occasion something (or a couple of posts) that just comes along and makes you think about how other fans views the films in a way we may not often appreciate or maybe not considered much before.

With additional respect for AC/DC too 😉

Nice one, man.
 

Hi Brodnation,

This thread should be able to help you with some of the basic functions of the forum (including how to post images), as well as a few other ‘How-To’s’ etc:-

‘How do I do this?’ on the OriginalTrilogy.com - some info & answers to members’ queries

The ‘About’ and ‘Help’ sections also have a few useful bits of info too, mate.

^ Like that - nicely done.

Auralnauts Top 10 Definitely Real Things You Didn’t Know About Star Wars

Damn those robot rights watchdogs! Justice for A1Z4!

Damn straight - also applies to people who may have watched 1977’s Demon Seed too 😃

^ no worries man - though thanks for the thanks mate 😃

Am still surprised they haven’t released this on DVD or blu ray - or even repeated it on tv just before a big footy tournament comes around…

(or tried to cash-in and attempt a remake - hopefully with Rachel Weisz, of course…)
 

Good luck for the rest of the season.
 

Anjohan, you have a PM mate - re your post above.

Just a beautiful emotive voice - could listen to it all day long…
 

Hope you’ve already solved the issue, but could be worth re-installing the software, or trying a different download of it?

Forums at doom9 and videohelp may also be able to offer you a solution - good luck with it.
 

I’m a Brit so won’t be able to check this for you… though jdownloader2 has been pretty decent in the past for capturing online videos - may be worth a go?

Their forum may also have, or be able to provide, an answer for you too - https://board.jdownloader.org

Good luck with it 😃
 

I’m not a mac user mate - though the forums at videohelp.com and https://forum.doom9.org/ are usually pretty good at this sort of stuff.

My ‘go to’ when encountering this type of error is to burn the disc at the slowest possible speed, and also use a different brand/batch of disc to see if that alleviates the problem.

Good luck with it man.
 

Verbatim for me mate - they do printable discs as well as the standard ‘put your maker pen on this’ they have for their dvd discs. Also have quite a range to choose from (25gb / 50gb, single / double sided, various quantities etc).

Like their DVD discs before them… I can’t recall ever having a problem with them, and still work fine years on (so far 😉)

^ Man In The High Castle is a good intriguing watch - a little off in season 2 for me (yet still absorbing) - though really hit the heights for season 3 - and looking forward to the next season.

I found it beneficial to watch Game Of Thrones twice through - I missed a fair bit of the ‘small things’, nods, backstory and the like on my initial viewing; re-watching really helped expand my understanding and enjoyment for it even more - especially for catching the foreshadowing 😃

Roll on the 14th April…
 

^ Seems to be for Dan Simmons’ Hyperion series going on this mate - https://twitter.com/3nen_sf/status/846314450646839296

Nice one man - and good to read you’re feeling much happier too 😃
