screams in the void

Lightyears A.K.A. Gandahar . A french animated film from the 80s that was dubbed into english and re cast in the U.S. with American actors . It is an adult animated movie in the vein of Heavy Metal . It is on Youtube . I have had it on vhs since 1988 and only recently saw the French version with English subtitles which is also on youtube . The original French version has a completely different musical score which I prefer .https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QBrysnbRj6w and the original …https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=My7yQaP5FlM

Willow being based on Star Wars characters was a myth that has been debunked . The movie was made by Lucasfilm though .

I find your argument vague and unconvincing .And I actually said that I believe that SOME are production photos but not all . Again , where is the PROOF ? all I have been presented with is conjecture and opinion so far .And regardless , the colors in the bottom image look great , why not use the storybook photos for color reference ? The picture on the bottom looks far clearer to me and has a lot of natural dusky sunlight showing on Luke .I have heard film makers refer to sunset shots like this as " magic hour " and I see it far more clearly on the storybook photo than the grainy , uncleaned deleted footage which is just one screenshot you posted among dozens which make up the scene on film .If I wanted to make a painting , or even re create a cleaned up or restoration of that deleted scene , I would definitely refer to the storybook photo for things like color temperature , saturation , hue , value etc .

that sucks …sounds like it’s time to find a new job where they give you hours and treat you better , then tell your current boss to fuck off .

My boss just texted my brother saying I was supposed to be at work which he NEVER informed me of, and because I wasn’t there he doesn’t me to show up tomorrow. He’s already relegated me to one or two days a week, but now he’s just being an asshole. I gotta jump ship to different job ASAP.

^ that sucks man . some people have to knock others down to make themselves look good . What do you do ? do you like the job ?

^ as I stated above , this all may true but I will remain skeptical until shown concrete evidence to the contrary

^ I still disagree but I respect your opinion

while I agree with some of the sentiments expressed here and not others , ultimately…https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pWdd6_ZxX8c

Happy New Year ! I think I just made the first post of the year .

^ as a collector of vhs and a child of the 70’s and 80’s , I gotta say I love this !

Happy New Year !

^ Thank you for linking to my work oojason ! much appreciated !

You may be right and I am willing to eat my words and apologize if you are , but so far , your argument does not seem to require a shred of proof .

^ I still do not buy your argument , care to share ? I could be off base but I feel you are implying that there was a still photographer present on set for every picture depicted in the storybook .I am more inclined to go with what Jonno said , I remember seeing some of those photo novels he talked about …they even did one for Battlestar Galactica . Here is a link to some info on that one …and a really cool website to boot …http://space1970.blogspot.com/2012/11/battlestar-galactica-1978-photostory.html and now that I think of it , how were the lobby cards made for the movies ? and ultimately , can’t the storybook photos still be used as a reference either way for colors ? They look great and could be a great guide for things like hue , value ,saturation and color temperature .But that may just be the artist in me talking …

oh yes , Goodwin’s writing was brilliant as well , and at times it felt like I was watching a movie in my head . He captured the voices of the main cast perfectly .

or just a cute joke …but Jim Henson DID visit the Dagobah set while Empire was being filmed , with Kermit and Miss Piggy in tow ! …http://muppet.wikia.com/wiki/Yoda

Perhaps someone spilled their coffee all over the original page?

Never realized this before, but Kligson sure looks a lot like Robocop.

^ very true on the Robocop lookalike , I have often wondered if film makers maybe looked at these books for inspiration …the character of Valance The Hunter where they show his half cyborg face is a dead ringer for the Terminator !

I have been reading on this other forum that after the Empire Strikes Back adaptation , the new editor Louise Jones started having various inkers like Tom Palmer and Carlos Garzon work on Infantino’s pencils to make the comic look more film accurate .After the Empire adaptation , the artists had to up their game . I know you like the charm of Infantino’s more cartoony art ZkinandBonez , and I can see your view to a degree, but he never drew the ships and hardware correct and I much prefer the Walter Simonson Era .Even in the examples you posted of Archie Goodwin’s layouts , I can see a difference in proportion that Infantino brought to bear on them .Goodwin’s characters are leaner in his layouts , and it’s most noticeable in the proportions of R2-D2 . I think part of the problem is that Infantino was primarily a super hero artist and he drew all of his characters with that aesthetic . I think the best we got from him was the water world issues where Terry Austin did the inks .but this is all subjective .oh , and here is the forum I mentioned …http://classiccomics.org/thread/1039/star-wars-marvel-reviews-confessor

I have always wondered why people do not use the photos in the 1978 Star Wars Storybook for reference when doing color corrections . https://www.starwars.com/news/parenting-padawans-5-reasons-vintage-star-wars-storybooks-stand-the-test-of-time

Because those are production photos, not film stills.

^ really , they look like photos from the film , it even says full color photos from the film . although there is one in there that has Vader without his cape while " sensing a presence " that was probably a still . These pictures are very much the way I remember the film looking in the theater . I think some may be production photos but not all , but I have no proof , do you ?

^wow that guy sounds like a condescending douche ! could only stomach a few minutes of it . in a more positive light …YODA ! …https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J7GOESLzN5Y

^ yes ! she was a great character in Clone Wars . I need to get around to reading the Dark Disciple novel to see how her story ended . I have only read a summary of it .

I will go with Leia and shira. I admire a lot from both of you. I mostly follow both of them because I like their fashion sense. In fact, I dye my hair like Shira by using Regenepure products( https://www.reecoupons.com/view/regenepure )

^Ahsoka Tano is a very good character too , she started out as a snippy teen and evolved into a formidable and wise warrior .Plus , what is on top her head is natural and she does not require product nor peddle product overtly on message boards at random . As a member though , she might leave a link in her signature .
