# this isn't finished... but i like it already.

# are you going to a fancy dress party?
if you're not, why?

it's excellent, really it is, but... if it's not for getting drunk in what's it for?

# no.
it's for a competition. You have to remake a film but in a kind of crappy way.

# that's perfectly excellent reason.

# the attack on the death star sequence
is a combination of model work (made of egg boxes), these x wing costumes running round a park and sets made of sofas and christmas lights.

# To be honest I wouldn't call this crappy.
This is like year 9 art standards, if a kid gave a crap, top stuff.

# i don't know whether to paint it.
on the one hand, it'd look cool painted, but on the other hand.... it's just funny made of boxes

# I like the "FRAGILE" warning on the back.
(_Felix 's school of dance and occult sciences, Sat 2 Feb 2008, 13:37, archived)
# Yeah, I agree.
That is pretty cool, or just humourous.

# the Handle With Care on the front is good
and there's big triangles with exclamation marks on the wings

# Papier mache.
It's the way of creating a base to paint over without making it big. However, that may make it look good and probably less crappy.

I think it does have a sort of nice thing with it just being boxes too though. Make a death star run with boxes, or is it just a small space you're using, like an alleyway?

EDIT: I mean I suggest papier mache and you probably know that anyway. I'd just do that if I were to paint it, but then it may lose the shape it has.

# you've basically nailed the two options.
i think the plan is to have the tie fighter/x wing dog fights as people running about in the park and the approach to the trench done through model work with a card "x wing view finder" over the top of the camera. We want to recreate the actual shots used in the film...
(Quatermass and teh Shit, Sat 2 Feb 2008, 13:40, archived)
# Dock yard? All them crates...
Be sure to really badly match two shots as it passes into the trench and unsuccessfully attempt to hide the join with a laser flash. Then repeat said dodgy moment twice so we can all make sure it was indeed dodgy.

*shot not included on Lucased 'Fcuked about with it' versions.

# are they not on dvd?
I think i've got the originals on dvd.

Not the original originals though, otherwise New Hope would just be called Star Wars
(Quatermass and teh Shit, Sat 2 Feb 2008, 13:48, archived)
# I think possibly, I wasn't able to afford them when they were released on the dvd though.
I have taped videos going back to the mid 90s, but then my video sodded up a while back, so I have to work with itv showings of the newer versions.

# Play.com does have an 'Original Version as seen in cinemas in '77' version
but it is a bit of a lie, I actually have it on video before anything was done to correct all the problems they had with the tech in the first one, all the garbage matts, bad colour matching, transparencies and 'blurro vision' under the land speeder and such, all still intact, and not evident in this 'original' version, also the sound is very cleaned up, I think it's taken from the early 'Laser Disc' version, but shot for shot it is identical, so not bad.

# That'll be hard, but not impossible, I imagine.
How about characters in it, like Luke and Darth etc? Will you show the Close ups of them inside, I mean.

I look forward to seeing the result.

# well the actors will be in the x wing and tie costumes
so just them in the costume i think will be good enough.

I'm not sure how to do darth yet. I could either go for the comedy "box on head with angry face drawn on it" or make an actual mask and costume out of card with detail..


i'm tempted by the latter
(Quatermass and teh Shit, Sat 2 Feb 2008, 13:47, archived)
# Could do it with the rebels looking even worse than the Imperials.
You could have tie pilots as well, if you want to go into it.

I think a Darth mask would add to it. But it wouldn't take anything away if you didn't want to include it.

# Nah, the joke should be that it's effectively shite
So Kentuky bucket on head (front cut out) with a pair of sunglasses and a builders dust mask underneath, cape made of binbag, maybe a bit of shoulder pads/chest box/marigolds painted black, but not too well done or the joke doesn't work.

Be sure to do lots of hand motions that don't match your dubbing

# yeah, it's a fine line to tread.

# I've always had loads of idea for a spoof that I've never seen done,
for instance the fact that Vader in the original couldn't actually move his shoulders, turn his head or raise his arms kinda made him a shite enemy for a sword fight, he should be real easy to beat, just run behind him or get above him, tah dah, like original daleks and stairs, he's fucked!
