Really? I wonder what the GWL initials could stand for? (Thanks Wikipedia! - George Walton Lucas)

Note to self: don't feed the trolls.

Here's the next one:

This was a tough segment, but I'm slowly getting the hang of it. The Nutcracker suite is uploading now...

Any real problems so far? I noticed a bit of sync issues with the intro to Toccata and Fugue, but other than that, anybody notice anything odd?

Give it a little bit. For some reason, Vimeo delays their videos...

What do you think of the narration replacement in the first video?

Here's the first:

Here's the second:

That's what I thought. Thanks for clearing that up, Moth3r.

Any idea where the surround sound might be found? I wonder if it could be done manually...

Interesting. I think Dolby can be surround, even when labeled "Stereo," but I don't think that is the case here. I find it fascinating that they would downgrade the movie from surround to stereo, but it was the 80's.

Also, the two clips I promised are uploading to Vimeo as we speak...

One question I had - was the 1982 version in plain stereo? The reason I ask is that the CDs obviously weren't in surround; I wondered if the 1982-1991 version was.

Yes, I suppose I'll have to. I can live with Burton "patching" Taylor, but I don't understand - did Disney think Burton was that terrible of a voice actor that people would notice a difference? I don't know why all of it needed to be replaced! :S

That's encouraging! I'll go back tonight and line up the Deems Taylor narration and put up the new version and the Sorcerer's Apprentice (I'm not working in order of screen time, but rather in order of easiness!)

It looks like I may have to replace the Kostal orchestration with the Stokowski for a couple of seconds during the Pastoral; for some reason, the Kostal is cut oddly and missing two seconds. :S

I guess I'll reply to myself, just in case anybody has already read my previous post.

What I've found so far on the 2011 BluRay: All of the Deems Taylor narration is replaced. Every single last word. I'll be replacing these back to actually being Deems Taylor. As much as I like Corey Burton (who I'm pretty sure is the voice actor on the 2011 BluRay) it ought to be Deems Taylor, who had a huge part of the Fantasia process. 

By the way, I didn't mention before but I will be using the 2011 BluRay in 720p as my source for the video. I had intended on keeping the narration and such from the BluRay, until I found that the narration was replaced. I'll probably do a version with the Deems narration and the Stokowski soundtrack, as well as the version with the Deems narration and the Kostal orchestration.

Here's part one of the video on Vimeo.

This is proving to be a somewhat difficult edit. A few of the pieces (Toccata and Fugue, Sorcerer's Apprentice) are easy and line up perfectly. A number of them, like Beethoven 6 are very, very difficult. This is because there is a bizarre edit in the piece (to eliminate Sunflower, the pickinanny centaur) and it throws the track off. Another few just need stretching - for some reason, the Night on Bald Mountain sequence doesn't line up as it goes along...

Anyway, I guess I'm looking for input. How does it look so far, tips, suggestions, etc.

Nice!

I like this one. Fits with the "Purple Monkey Dishwasher" line...

I like Duke Dooku's lines from LOTR! :D

Several people on FE mentioned I need to show someone giving the order to fire and I agree.  But I hadn't thought of using Palps, and I like it quite a bit.  I'll have to see if I can find some dialogue to use with that ROTS shot.

EDIT: Just realized I'll probably have to change Corde's voice if I do that, because it might be confusing to go from Palps giving the order to using his voice right after that for Corde.  But I can probably find someone else to use for Corde's voice.

Is Governor Tarkin in Ep. II or III? He could be doing the bit from Ep. IV where he is about to fire on Yavin IV... That way, Corde could still have Palpy's voice.

I'd suggest having him get interrupted saying one of his own lines than a Ben lift. That'd be perfect. 

See above post.  Ben's line is there to set up what is to come.

Yes. I see what you did there... :)

Now he can be "more powerful than you can possibly imagine!" 

NOOOOOO! Why, Frink, WHY?

No problems for me, either. 

I agree. I think it should be more of a "Golden Yellow" rather than a "Goldenrod Yellow."

This font thing is pretty amusing. At this rate, I suppose that if Harmy ever decides to pull a "George Lucas," we will have all the tools we need to reconstruct the Alien Sweeded film. :)

I didn't think it looked "graffiti" style, but rather quite a bit like the "Amoeba Music" logo over here in the states.

See:

I thought of that, too. What is the purpose of that site? At first I thought it was streaming movies, but it appears that it is just like an IMDB clone. Like you say, Harmy probably won't mind, but still common courtesy would be to at least ask...

Sure they are... MR LUCAS!

jk, Harmy. Great job on the Mos Eisley scene. I was wondering how you did that; I loved the .psd files so that we could see how it was really done. Really looking forward to the "Making Of" documentaries that are going to be on the BDs for this set. They're still planned as an addition, right?

Hey, just to put this out there as a random song that may be of use: The Weight, by The Band. It has the line "Take a load off, Ani, and put it right on me." Just in case you needed more songs, Frink.  :)
