Hyperspace members are the first to see a new video documentary from Random House Audio that goes inside their forthcoming Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith Audiobook. Fans who enjoy a bit of music and sound effects to enhance the spoken word can now see the artistry that goes into the making of this unique artform.

"Because there's no visuals," explains mixing engineer Paul Goodrich, "the listener is able to create this wonderful universe in their head. You're able to create something in your imagination much bigger and perhaps in some ways better than you're going to see it in the film."

For fans who have not yet ventured into the world of audiobooks, this featurette serves as a fascinating first step into a larger world. Discover how the talented artists at Random House Audio are creating drama for the mind's eye.

LandoSpeeder
He did get the extra large trailer for us and you couldn't save it with QT pro either. When he comes around he should be able to.

theshakl
i think there is something wrong with the video...

Jedi Priestess
It has problems theshakl.......took me forever to get the bloody thing off of HS myself. Just keep working with it and it should run thru right eventually.

darthvinss
thx pika, gonna watch it ! smile

sasa
Thnx scramba~! Really cool...

jedijunky1138
That dude sounds exactly like Obi-Wan. He does a great Palpatine also. The GG voice is cool but I hope they leave out the part about the cosmetics and mirror. That stuff is too Earthly if you know what I mean.

BAILY
The video is buggered up on mine too. Damn it all..... mad This is actually a cool video... I like it.

sasa
Yup..me 2... any idea how to fix it??

Snakebyte
thx scramba & pika!

Torik_Shai
"A long time ago in a galaxy far, far bbbbzzzzzttttttt..."

Mine's messed up too, unless that's what the guy actually says.

rogue21579
I found if you start it about 11 seconds afterward that it will play fine.

CG-Realms
If you have problems like I did, notes where the video cuts out, and click to about three seconds after that point and click play. The rest should play fine.

LandoSpeeder
Downloading it now.

Thanks scramba and pika

LandoSpeeder
Doesn't work for me.

lucasfilm
LMAOROFL!!!!!!!! what THE hell? cosmetics!!!!!!!!1 hahah man.. im scared now Of grievous.. although it is sorta funny, (politics), i dont think that should be in the script! prolly one of the worst starwars lines EVVAVAVARRARRRRR!!!

"WHAT A PIECE A JU-UNK!

Eleonora
New link, please, please weep

BAILY
Here is a new link Eleonora, but the video on the original links posted freeze up at certain points. Sorry for that... but there isnt a better copy out there right now.....

Snakebyte
the trick with the 11 seconds works for me, but you dont miss anything if you get no video. Just the speakers and no e3 image (not 1).
the shown dialogue scripts are from sw books and not from the e3 script...

so donty worry. big grin

Eleonora
Thank you Baily as always

Eleonora
Damn, damn, damn. Eveything stops after 1 min and the application is closed. doesn't work dammit! sorry, I needed a little outburst.

maboy
Ok, to see the whole thing, what I do is play the file normally, but as soon as I get close to that 11th second, I minimize the quicktime window until I hear the sound again, it should play straight to the almost end with no problems, I say almost because 20 seconds before it ends the file crashes and closes, so I repeat the operation at the beginning in this part

Obi-OneManShow
C'mon, cut us some slack, Jack!
Someone plzzzzz repost!

Solar Flare
Kind of messed up, some people were saying how you could get around wen it freezes, but I couldn't figure it out. I'm uploading it anyway for you peeps anyway.

Obi-OneManShow
Thanx a bunch, Solar Flare, I appreciate the effort. Too bad for the lock-up in the beginning of the file. Is only the file circulating here infected, or do Hyperspace members get the same? (If someone has a clean one, please repost)

Also, is this supposed to be a new webdoc? If yes, are they making a style change towards promoting different licencees or something? Like we would get closer looks at the making of action figures or comics next... would be cool.
I noticed the file is named 15_320.mov, the last webdoc was 13 (10 Gallons of Buildings, the "lave" one), what happened to 14? Or is this a one-off extra, apart from the webdocs?

Also, how many more webdocs are coming? Does the pope wear a funny hat? Can you spank a seamonkey? Did the bear shit on Goldilocks? What do you add to powdered water?

Solar Flare
Your welcome.

It's not a webdoc. scramba posted it b/c no one could save it even with QT pro, but scramba has his ways. So we all have the same bugged up version.

I think their are 17 webdocs.

bILLYgOAT
thanks

rogue21579
Here is a trick that works for me:

What I would do is first open the file. I would not play it yet, but I would grab the middle cursor and advance it (without playing it) If you see that the film is not advancing or staying black. Close it and try again. This may take many trys but keep trying. If you do finally get the images scrolling. Place the cursor about 15 or 20 seconds afterward (you don't miss much) and then hit play. Make sure the cursor does not go past the 10-14 second mark or it will freeze.
- this should work for you

rogue21579
oops! not necessarily the middle cursor. But the cursor that allows you to advance the film. Move it fast over that 10-14 second mark or it will freeze.

Solar Flare
Thanks a bunch rogue21579 finally figured out how to watch the whole thing. big grin

Solar Flare
This might be a little less confusing, but take the courser and move it to the six second point, then while you have not let go of the courser, zoom it up to the end of the video. then just take it back to the 20 second point and you should be able to watch the whole thing.

Eleonora
My download stops after a few minutes :-(

Solar Flare
Link doesn't work now anyway, I'll upload another one later if no one else does.

Morridini
Anyone got a link to a fully working version? Not the one which has already been posted.

LandoSpeeder2
It does fully work if you do it right.

Eleonora
It's useless for me, it only downloads about 3.00 mb and that's it. :-(

Morridini

LandoSpeeder2
take the courser and move it to the six or seven second point (doesn't matter which of those two second points), then while you have not let go of the courser, zoom it up to the end of the video. then just take it back to the 20 second point and you should be able to watch the whole thing.

Morridini
But still, it would be better if someone could get a fully functioning version.

JKozzy
This is up on the OS... seems to be about making the audiobook. Anyone have any info on it?

http://img122.exs.cx/img122/8617/audiobook5vf.jpg

Probably getting this instead of the webdoc. I, for one, don't mind. This could be cool.

tlbauerle
Oh crap...I bet we are getting this instead of a webdoc...

lucasfilm
OMG NOOOOOOO I WANT THE WEBDOOOOC!!!!

Thank you for the link up, Mata. wink

CinematicESP
This is an interesting line... "You're about to make an unscheduled appearance on the Holonet, Chancellor. I apologize for not providing a mirror, hairbrush and cosmetics so that you might at least camouflage some of your fear." Could it be Grievous talking? It turns mechanized in the middle of it. May not be in the film, but sounds kinda like something Grievous might say, after hearing him in the Clone Wars cartoon. It could be a very ironic line if Palpatine is indeed "camouflaging" his fearsome Sith appearance.
