Watching Project #2: Promo Videos (that no longer start until you want them to)
« on: September 05, 2008, 06:37:58 PM »
[PLEASE IGNORE THE NOTE AT THE TOP OF REPLY #1. I've adapted the spoiler feature to hide the video until someone wants to play it - then it will begin automatically once it downloads. Now all of the videos can be posted in one topic, which is what I've been wanting to do all along. However, note that each video post has its own title, so if/when you'd like to comment on an individual video, please reply to that particular post so it will be clear to everyone. Thanks. MB]

Watching Project #2: Teaser #1

(Note: I abandoned what I was trying to do because RealPlayer's home site wasn't cooperating at all as far as allowing anyone to download the plug-in needed to do what I wanted to do, so I've resorted to something entirely different - though it's not operating quite the way I want it to either. However, I'm posting this teaser video anyone - and I'll continue to try to figure out if it's even possible to do what I want with this method.)

(Side note: Don LaFontaine, the man who did the voiceovers for all these '91 series' promos and countless other movie trailers and TV promos just recently passed away. Check out: 'In a world' voiceover master dies at 68)

 Oh how nostalgic I am feeling.  And slightly pissed too because NBC screwed up BIG TIME!  Didn't they even admit it later on? MB I cannot wait to hear all the insight you have.  For ex.  I never knew they worked Ely Pouget into the show because they liked her so much.  I loved her Maggie.

People who've only seen the NBC broadcast and the DVDs will notice a snippet of a scene that was cut but restored for the MPI VHS.

The pendant used to hypnotize is exactly like a crystal that I used to have hanging from my rearview mirror in the car!  [ghost_shocked] I had forgotten how nice the opening promo is.

That's the idea.  [ghost_wink]  Attempting to recreate a bit of the experience of the buildup to the show.

Though I've always thought it was rather clever to have it running during Christmastime.  [ghost_wink]
