Hello, i'm researching SW Theater Performance recordings (bootlegs), and would love to read people's memories of their viewing or knowledge of such a recording. post here or e-mail pl1x@earthlink.net. Yes it was a long long time ago, but oddly these recordings remain the only way to... well this site puts it better: http://savestarwars.com/
Any memory would be great. What movie? Format (PAL-NTSC, U-Matic/Beta/VHS/VCD/BinCue/etc, widescreen or pan-scan) When did you see it? What was the story behind seeing the tape? (friend who was a collector, sci-fi convention, just knew the right people, did you record it yourself!) Did you bring a cassette recorder to the 70mm screening? Are you responsible for the Hastings RotJ Heist? Did you go to jail for RotS? AotC? TPM? Was the version you saw, Good, poor, miserable. Did you buy it from an ad in a comic book journal? Surprise us with any detail no matter how irrelevant it may seem. thanks in advance.
In the mean time, fan edit it. Use old show dialog/graphics to replace the censored bits. Heck use your favorite preacher or non-preacher as replacement material.
The problem is they completely removed the ending dialog, basically wasting everyone's half hour of life.
Hello, writing to let you know about another Star Wars documentary which focuses on the recorded perception (by anyone corporate or individual) of the Star Wars phenomenon at the time of the release of Revenge of the Sith, which will turn 5 this May.
More historical in nature, this documediamentary focuses on the themes and memes of what the people who talked about the Star Wars phenomenon were otherwise talking about. So there are chapters which show that people liked to talk not just Star Wars topics (like waiting in line, Chewbacca or the opening scene of ANH) but also other societal issues. (sex, piracy, drugs & alcohol, politics)
I recommend gradual digestion. The online presentation is divided into chapters which makes the 3.5hrs easier to comprehend. The full DVD has additional material, audio commentary, multiple subtitles, bonus features, which provide additional insight into what happened in those fateful 4 months when the hype and frenzy felt palpable.
The destination of this project is to show that a presentation of this type (goal oriented clip show) could be produced on any topic by a online search engine query. Society has made large online video repositories, it's time we put them to work.
Sorry if this was a confusing introduction, i'm rather lost the projects inner workings.
The explanation gives you the basics. I did not choose the insane mix of neon backgrounds and text to purposefully prevent anyone from viewing the site.

Hi Randy, after some internal discussion, here's our preliminary list.
1) Intermittent glitching ("mech, intermit") done in a way that's more random sounding vs periodic.
2) Bit-resample, such that there is audible artifacting (sounds like a bad mp3 encode).
3) shifting channels (sounds like a speaker cut out). Again, the goal should be to sound somewhat random.
4) Laugh-track, at a respectable volume level.
5) Saw-tooth volume, so long as the volume goes to (or close to) zero, so that the track can't be fixed by an inverse saw increase.
6) Beep, at a high volume
In the future, you might do experiments with static noise overlays (sounds like faulty recording equipment), voice over (public domain audio), and overlapping songs.
You probably don't want to apply any effect for the first 30-60 seconds, so the user thinks they got a good track. We should take some care to ensure that when there is intermittent effects they happen in the same places so that it's not possible to take the good portions of one version and splice them with the good portions of another version to get a complete (and perfect) third version.
Hello, my name is %20 and I collect interdicting spoofing noise files created by entities like Overpeer and MediaDefender. They are important 'art' objects which are in dire need of preservation. I had thought the methods and products died out when Overpeer went kaputz, but there are several e-mails in this collection which revive my search and preservation of these outstanding works of questionable merit. So if you happen to get a files from these folks which seems a little off, read this blog: http://noneinc.com/RIAAEM/RIAABlog.html and we'll host them for everyone to enjoy.
In some cases yes, but with modern computing you can stream line the process by having large industrial equipment creative large part for building. Frank Ghery is using this technic to get his buidings built. In that Guggenheim building the computer was able to figure out certain shapes which it could use over and over to then take the process towards what you were talking about Mass Production. But computers can also be used to eliminate human interaction with producing parts. instead of having people laying bricks why not let a machine create the pieces necessary. The interior of the dome in the new Planetarium in New York City was done this way. They needed a metal surface with hole punched in it. if this was done by hand it would have taken forever instead they were able to create a computer model which more of less was feed to a machine to cut all the holes in perfect geometry, over the curved surface. What the building community needs is for someone to step up and provide the funds to get these huge construction facilities created. the only way that is going to happen is if the building regulations are stepped up drasticly. they say ever building in the NYC area does not meet code. that's a big problem. the collapse of the twin towers was a 2.5 ricter earthquake, i'll bet you know that other buildings in the NYC area suffered structural damage. There have been several collapsed buildings in NYC in the past few years, this city is falling apart. unfortunately your children will have to deal with this problem.
sorry for the rant

This architecture/engineering firm lead by Jan Kaplicky is one of the only firms working with ideas of conservation and using reusable materials. They had a proposed housing block with a different type of wind power. I don't believe that these fans turn at a fast rate of speed so pigeons getting chopped up or noise i don't think is an issue.
Their project with a wind generator was called Project Zed. http://www.rpreston.com/apaszed.htm The first few floors would have typical commerical then the upper floors would be office space then the top floors would be residential and a park/pool at the top. They said this building would be able after a few years to PROVIDE electricity to the buildings around it. Thus this kind of building would cost less in the long run but the initial cash imput is high.
Future Systems also completed the addition to some famous sports stadium in the UK http://www.Future-Systems.com/LORDS.html , where they built the building like a ship out of Aluminum so a large percent of the building {~80%) can be recycled. What does happen to buildings once they are collapsed, i doubt any of them get recycled at all. the interior is modeled similar to an high class airplane interior.
Buildings need to be made more like cars and airplanes, i doubt our generation will see it but it's coming.

Could you tell some more of the story behind your Empire Strikes Back theater performance recording (bootleg)?

They should call it "STAR WARS THE ULTIMATE EXPERIENCE Is Forever ...One Last Time"
