Making of Raiders of the Lost Ark - PBS

[Randolph Carter]

Awesome. I have the original Making of Raiders and Great Movie Stunts on VHS, along with all the original Making of SW documentaries. Would be nice if they dusted all those off and released them on DVD or Blu Ray.

Kazanjian mentions the documentary in this ArcLight Q&A...

Where do you see $29.95? Their website quite specifically says $95.00. It's meant for educational use-- they always charge more for anything with an educational license.

When I asked what their master was, I was told:
it would be from our master either a 3/4 inch or betaSP or 1 inch.

So I got this last week and watched it. The quality was pretty good, but it looked like it was transferred from a tape to DVD, so it was more like watching a VHS. But, still a great documentary and much better than watching it in pieces on YouTube.

Can you post pictures of the DVD, the box? Any liner notes?

Thanks, the DVD looks great. The aquisition list has a new number one.

 

[indyclone25]

i'd like to see some screen caps from it to see how clear it looks ? and then decide if i need to buy it or just keep my dvd i made from my vhs .

Finally! In my hands...

Congratulations, Rocket, but this looks like a bootleg. Not only is the cover crappy, but the bottom credits on the disc aren't even horizontally aligned.

(Not that it really matters in the long run. It's what ON the disc that is important!)

Seems an odd way to sell Moonshine if you hold the rights!

Agreed...while it's not as flashy or polished as a Hollywood/LFL product it's pretty indicative of PBS' "ambition" in the late 70's early 80's.

Despite my distaste for the "Making of" font, it's actually not all that bad. Like a crudely formed garish relic, I can see some beauty in it.

What do you think of this one?

I like the way you put that...
