Joe, thanks. I'm always curious about things like that (credits). The main thing I wondered was if any other Film-Techers were in it. You did a good job.

>>Mr 70mm is Jeff Skallan<<
He did a great take, after getting the film through the roller! (the thumbs-up) I was in stitches!

Josh--you mean you're _not_ supposed to fold 70mm film in half to make it fit on a 35mm makeup table roller?!?!

Seriously, Joe's "training" video was great. I think that it should be required viewing for the Screencheck inspectors.

Kodak actually has a copy. So does Christie (but I never heard their opinions on it). They have the 1/2 resolution version (VHS). The MPEG is almost 1/4 resolution.

I will film the next version in 65mm, reduce it to Super8 and then transfer it to video where I will edit it. Then it'll be transferred to a 70mm print. Quality is my only concern.

Oh yeah. WebTV cant even attempt this. Is there a loaner (aak) VHS copy available for us poor unfortunates with Holmeses and non-computers?

I thought the movie was great.

What kind of budget did you spend on it?
8million 9million what?

great make-up too. i really believed that the guys face really turned blacd\k and his eyes became elongated(must be very nearsided after that one heh heh) just like in all of the looney toons cartoons.

did the stars get their own trailers?

speaking of trailers got any?

although it did not have enough violence drugs or well ya know the ending left me fulfilled and happy. it really made me think. Better yet it did not leave me hanging. it was not one of those cliffhanger endings. I can not even begin to explain how much more complete i feel now. i think ill go watch some oprah winfrey.

I think the second one should have a ton of star wars innuendos. oh yeah and matrix rip offs. any movie will be funny or do good if you have either of those. (Deuce Bigalow, Scary Movie, Weird Al etc.) and lets not forget cross advertising? have a bottle of filmguard laying around in the booth somewhere.(just kidding)

i give it **** well you get the point.

Well, Ethan, glad you finally got to see it. I made it on a total budget of -- lemme do the math here -- $0! Shooting took 3 days (because of everybody's different schedules) and 1 day to add all of the special effects and do the editing. I will try to have more sex and violence in the next version, but I think that this one already has plenty of that. Most people are complaining that is has TOO MUCH sex!

Bruce -
I specifically designed this video with my clever engineering skills and diabolical mind so that Holmes users could never see it!!!! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! I don't think WebTV has a 25 meg cache. Have one of your friends with a computer download it for you. You do have friends, right? Oh well, who needs friends when you have the Holmes?

I suspected this.

I knew there was a conspiricy(?) to keep WebTV people out of the loop.

I do have a friend (!) that has a real computer who has told me for a year that he would set me up with a real one. I already gave him a B&H 545 projector--rebuilt as my end of the deal--but no dice yet.

I also know that everybody discrimnates against Holmes owners here due to the lack of pictures in the warehouse..... Oh I GET IT! The ones in the warehouse are PROFESSIONAL!

Now I must go roust Mother, who lives in the bedroom at the top of the stairs. She's been looking a little leather-y lately. I think a nice day in the fruit cellar will do her a world of good.

She's been awfully quiet since the Holmes fell on her head.

Joe, neat job there. As a video producer, I nominate you for the national "Projection Training Video Oscar", whatever the heck that means. I made a projection training video myself back in '92, but it was serious and with no SFX. Your's is much better and more fun to watch. You are much different than I imagined you to be. You have a very nice sense of humor. Keep up the good work. And Brad's right, you "videotaped" the piece, you didn't "film" it (but who's being technical?)

When I film the next version in 500-perf 140mm, I'll say I "taped" it, just to throw people off.

Just downloaded this last night.

Excellent, Joe! Well done...huge laughs throughout.

I particularly love the idea of the guy being used to replace a roller for an entire feature. The worried way that he looks at his watch is just priceless!!!
