Gah, it won’t play. It just stays at the loading screen.
Try now.
It doesn’y play!
There’s an interview with the lady who voiced Janine Melnitz over at Ghostbustersfans.
How many extras have been released?
Matt, try again. I’ve fixed it, it runs, and apparently you ran it mere seconds before the fix. Please try again.
Thankyou Chris. Very interesting stuff. I just hope I can eventually get the dvd in the UK without paying top dollar for it.
Andy – I love and respect you as a fellow DVD producer and admire your work as a true fan… you’ve gotten quite a respectable and diverse amount of talent for this set and I can’t even fathom how difficult it was to juggle schedules and shoot days (in addition to all of the visual commentaries). Nothing but a tip of the hat and a thanks for all the hard work that you’ve done to really knock this set out of the park.
But to pick nits… why did you interview everyone against the set of a Chatsworth porno? Those glass bricks as a backdrop in every shot are killin’ me.
I just posted my exclusive JMS clip, so please check it out.
Troy – I got a good laugh from your “Chatsworth porno” comment. I agree that a more diverse choice of backgrounds would have been better, but I think we could all agree that we’ve all seen MUCH worse on other DVD projects
Oh, don’t get me wrong – it’s not something detracting from the value of getting such a complete collectible box set. It’s already got my cash (plus some).
And I’m the worst offender, sometimes we’ve had to interview folks in conference rooms with absolutely nothing and we have to make due… I just wonder if it was a retro creative decision since it’s consistent throughout… what the thought process behind the glass bricks was.
No idea what a “Chatsworth porno” is, nor have I ever seen porn with a glass wall backdrop.
That wall is the conference room at Gang of 7 Animation Studios, and you’ll see that we did change things up some with lighting, and some projected scenes. And there are interviews in another area, you just haven’t seen them yet.
It is a bit retro, but having produced over 40 sets now (filming in hotels, soundstages, homes, etc), and having been filmed for six Warner sets (in offices with backdrops), I can tell you that interviewing the 30 or so people we talked with int he timeframe we had would have been impossible without a stationary set. And we would have had to be CONSTANTLY resetting backdrops if we wanted them different for each person. And then we would have had complaints that 30 people were in front of a wall with art, or in front of a plant, or…
Hope that explains a little!
Andy
I have to say I love the glass block background, such a wonderful element seen a lot in the 80s that doesn’t get much use these days.
did anyone notice the movie poster slimer runs into says “ghostbuters”?
LOl – yeah, we were just watching that episode and noticed that. It’s hard to say if it was artist misspelling or related to references of the film and the legal use of the name.
I would like to mention briefly, that the glass wall is actually an amazing idea. It’s hard to tell in this clip, but the color behind the wall is coming from the cartoon playing, creating a dynamic and ever-changing wall of color as a backdrop. Simple, yet effective.
[...] has sent along more video! Including the NEW trailer above. And this is in addition to the exclusive clip they sent earlier in the [...]
“That wall is the conference room at Gang of 7 Animation Studios, and you’ll see that we did change things up some with lighting, and some projected scenes.”
Ah ha – that makes sense. I figured it was a conference room that you were trying to make due with. The retro look is indeed just that – retro. Reminds me of the Hollywood One on One set that Scott Patrick used to have…
I’m weak – I end up using a floppy green screen nine times out of ten.
