The Empire Strikes Back – Unseen Vintage Documentary.

Posted on March 1, 2013 by jasonrmsmith

“Here’s an awesome vintage documentary short that lets us take a look back at the making of The Empire Strikes Back. While the film was shooting in the 80s, French journalist Michael Parbot was given unprecedented access to the production. Some of the footage has been seen in a couple of other documentaries over the years, but now there’s more unseen footage that’s been found! The doc includes fascinating conversations with Irvin Kershner, Mark Hamill, and Harrison Ford. Check it out.”

Secrets from the Ranch

Posted on August 24, 2012 by jasonrmsmith

Yup, the latest super secret project from the ranch was announced today; StarWars Detours.

“Today at Star Wars Celebration VI, Robot Chicken creators Seth Green and Matt Senreich, along with their collaborator Todd Grimes, unveiled footage from their new animated series Star Wars: Detours. The series takes place between between Episode III and IV, and of course, Green, Senreich and Grimes have taken comedic liberty with the entire Star Wars universe, with George Lucas‘ blessing of course.”

This is my favorite clip, but check out the other three links below, including the trailer.

Clip1 | Clip3 | Trailer.

“Senreich told fans the story behind the series, saying they got a call from Lucas’ people and he immediately thought they were getting sued for developing Robot Chicken.”

“Lucas was sitting at a desk and said, ‘You guys think you’re pretty fucking funny, don’t you?’” Green remembers. “‘So, how about we do something funny together?’”

As of right now, there are no details on premiere dates or even a home network for the show. But have a first look at Star Wars: Detours below, and then head to the comments and hit us with your initial reactions.”

Five alternate takes on Travel Posters from the Outer Rim.

These six are from a full set of fourteen images, but it’s an interesting range because it clearly breaks down into a few sub-groups springing from slightly different influences. The posters were originally sold through Lucasfilms art partner, Acme Archives, although most are now sold out. There were also a couple of nice, minimal ‘t-shirt logos’ which were – not surprisingly – available as t-shirts.

Siggraph 2012 Real-Time Live!

Posted on August 18, 2012 by jasonrmsmith

Okay, so I’m a little sad to be handing this amazing program off. Real-Time Live! has been an incredible part of SIGGRAPH to be involved with, from technical and show direction, through marketing, jurying, content outreach, logistics, donations, hardware, branding and social media. Not to mention the awesome people I got to work with.

The program was set in motion by Evan Hirsch at SIGGRAPH 2009 as an original, twenty-minute pre-show for the Computer Animation Festival. This year Continue reading →
