As somebody who originally wanted to be a film maker but decided to major instead in the field of graphic design, I can relate. There was a film project I started all the way back in 2013 and the last time I remember working on it was in 2015. Since then, I haven't gone back to completing it and considering my new current career interest, it most likely never will. I'm glad these guys succeeded with finishing their film project and watching it is definitely worth the reward.
VICE tracks down two best friends who have spent their lives making a _Raiders of the Lost Ark_ adaptation by reenacting each scene. We caught up with them as they shot the final frames of their epic.
I have been waiting for this to come out...really inspiring to see true friends do what they really love. As a kid i remember making my own little short fun films. So this hits home with me. GO USA!!!
I was 10 when raiders came out and it was my all time favorite movie. I was 18 when the last crusade came out and I had felt like I grew up with those movies. still my favorite movies today. I have the box set sitting next to my tv as I type this.
Don't wrap them in a bag! It will degrade them faster by trapping in gases released. Paper is primarily cellulose. It degrades via thermo-oxidative degradation, acid/base hydrolysis, microbial attack, and misguided remediation effects (this case). When books degrade, the polymers in the paper break forming sugars, that form cyclic ethers. Through the process, more acid is produced. By sealing the book in a bag, the acid further concentrates, thus prolonging the cycle. These gases actually catalyze further degradation of the book. Keep it in a dark chilled room with ~5-15% humidity and preferably inert atmosphere. Don't seal it up in any way.
A friend and I made our very own Pulp Fiction,I say made, my friend left the production the moment the pawn shop scene was finished,he told me that that was the real climax to the film!
That film and its music just get a hold of people. In the 1990s, I had to plan an elaborate ceremony for a professional association. The president insisted on using Indiana Jones music, despite eye-rolls from peers. I tried for “March of the Slave Children” from the second movie Temple of Doom, but no sheet music was available for the musicians. We settled for the classic “Raiders March” theme-over and over and over ... It was still fun.
Had the good fortune of seeing this at Cinemartscentre theater in Huntington, NY. many years ago. One of the most fun communal times ever in a movie theater. ❤😂😂
Yes, but unfortunately you can't watch it for free. Here's a site where you can watch the movie without having to pay any money in order to see it. archive.org/details/RaidersOfTheLostArkTheAdaptationVhsripXvid
Sadly, because of RU-vid's copyright law, that most likely isn't going to happen. Besides, even if someone did, they would just mute the audio and that wouldn't be much fun watching the film without any sound. It's bad if someone watches the video without watching the original movie because they wouldn't have any idea what the actors are saying are what's happening in the film. The only way they would have to understand this movie is by watching the original and that can be very annoying for the person to have to look outside the movie in order to understand the context. It's something that's most common in franchise movies nowadays. But there is a site I've been on where you can watch the movie for free. I'll provide you the link. archive.org/details/RaidersOfTheLostArkTheAdaptationVhsripXvid
Sadly, I don't think these guys will be doing "Temple of Doom" or any of the other Indiana Jones movies. Just their remake of "Raiders of the Lost Ark" is enough. Plus, part of the enjoyability of watching their movie comes from the fact that they were just kids trying to re-create their favorite film as a way to test their skills as filmmakers. If they remade "Temple of Doom" now in this modern age, it'd be awesome, sure, but it wouldn't have the same affect as their first film had. So, it's probably for the best not to do the other films as much as we'd want them to.
It's a cool amateur project, but it's kinda pointless......really. What's the point of imitating every single detail of a classic? You can never surpass the original by copying it.
I think they made too big a deal out of this. Every group of kids with access to a video camera in the 80's made their own version of Raiders. We did too. We never thought we were the only ones to do it.
Really? You are not a true Indiana Jones fan if you think Kingdom of the Crystal skull is the best one, and making a shot for shot remake of a 2 hour movie in 1982-1989 with your school and personal life getting in the way is pretty damn long to do, and hard.
