The problem is that the DVD isn't released untill next month over here ... so if you still don't have some by then i'll rip em ... but I doubt no one would have come up with some lyrics by then ...

JoeyOhhhh 06-11-03 12:21 PM

Did you try searching for the lyrics by the shorts names rather than Make Mine Music?

Might have better luck.

Michael Corvin 06-11-03 01:09 PM

Yep. Searched for song titles, and by Make Mine Music. Ripping the subtitles sounds like a lot of work when you can just pop in the dvd and listen to it, then jot it down on a piece of paper. :) IMO.

Where are you Scaramanga?

R2 - Benelux

We don't have that one yet ... but we do already have Sleeping Beauty :-p

DV, I uploaded Aristocats a couple of days ago. No signs of it posted. I checked and it is no longer on the server either. Any idea? Also, you haven't sent me any info on dvdca admin stuff. Thanks.

I havent done any uploads in awhile, so I dont know what happened to it.

I'll get with you over this weekend and talk you threw it. Do you have AIM?
my AIM id is Darthvong2002.

Do you do this as a hobbie or have you made covers for any of the studios?

Because frankly you have done some excellent work.

Michael Corvin 06-13-03 06:38 AM

The covers are a hobby. I am a professional graphic designer though. Degree and all. Around these parts there has been a significant lack of jobs since Sept 11, 2001. I know that sounds lame but, call backs just ceased after that day and there is only maybe 1 opening a month at a place and you have 300 people applying for the same position. So I do this to keep up my skills until I find another job.

jiggawhat 06-13-03 02:34 PM

That's too bad. Because you should fix some of the lame-ass covers that some of these studios are putting out.

EBChamorro 06-16-03 08:12 AM

The black space on the sides of the front cover of
The Three Caballeros looks a little empty.
Would you consider filling the black space with the same
vertical color banding as the blanket the 3 caballeros
are holding on the back of the cover?
You could even apply a wave or woven texture
the the vertical stipes and make it look even more
like the Mexican blankets.

Michael Corvin 06-16-03 01:39 PM

Yep, EB. Sorry, got your email just been caught up in watching 24 the first season.

Mexican blanket = serape. ;)

JJE-187 06-16-03 03:05 PM

I am sorry to say this but I hate that Three Caballeros front. It just looks too screwed up. I did a quick search on google & found these 2 images, Do you think either of them might work

EBChamorro 06-16-03 03:37 PM

A long time ago, there was an example on the web
with a before and after of the "cleaning" of the short
"All the cats join in" from Make Mine Music.
I can't find any examples, does anyone have a source?

Michael Corvin 06-18-03 08:36 AM

So I only have 5 covers left that I need high res images for, plus a couple re-dos If I can find a source.

Re-dos:
Robin Hood
Black Cauldron

Needs(I have the art, the quality will be on par with Black Cauldron though:
Sleeping Beauty (I have one poster but there is another I like better)
Winnie the Pooh
Oliver & Co.
Aladdin (teaser with the lamp)
Saludos Amigos (someone may be helping on this one)
Three Caballeros (also getting help on this one)

On the to do list(already have the artwork)
Lion King
Cinderella
Melody Time
Fun & Fancy Free
Bambi

and that should round out the collection folks. 10 left. It has been a long ride. Any help out there?

Michael Corvin 06-18-03 10:18 AM

Alright Melody Time is up. I spent a half hour looking for song lyrics for this one as well. No luck. I also need a screen grab of a cool character to put on the spine. Then this one is done.

I will be updating 3 Caballeros soon too(with a temp file) just for preview purposes.

EBChamorro 06-18-03 11:23 AM

What will the changes be for 3 Caballeros?
Serape motif on the front, different font on the spine?
Better poster quality on the front?

I took a look at the insert from the laserdisc box set
of 3 Caballeros / Saludos Amigos, but the graphics are
very small and the font is some typical san serif junk.
Great liner notes, but nothing useful for the covers.

Michael Corvin 06-19-03 04:36 PM

Sleeping Beauty Up (done, ready for release)
Saludos Amigos Up (minus screen grabs)
Melody Time Up (minus song quote & character for spine)
Make Mine Music (minus song quote)
Three Caballeros Up (minus spine character)

JoeyOhhhh 06-19-03 11:45 PM

What character and song quote fo you want from Melody Time?

I have the DVD.

Michael Corvin 06-20-03 05:34 AM

Doesn't matter, pick something cool.

Scaramanga 06-20-03 09:21 AM

Would this be the poster art you had in mind for Aladdin ?

* Images Deleted *

I also have the following artwork @ HighRes ... the previews below haven't been cleaned up yet and are just to show you the artwork itself:

* Images Deleted *

I also have lots of other Aladdin images available, so they can be scanned if necessary. Telling you this since you use one or more characters on the back mostly and a character head on the back. The scans I can provide you with will probably be of much higher quality then screencaps ...

Will do, I'll mail it to you tomorrow.

Michael Corvin 06-20-03 03:28 PM

This is the aladdin:
http://www.thehollywoodstore.com/pos.../images/34.jpg

I have the actual poster. :up: I love this one. I might have to hang it up and take a pic with the digital camera.

Thanks joey. I will be looking for it.

Scaramanga 06-20-03 03:31 PM

No I don't wanna be rude ... but I think it sucks ... :whofart:

Michael Corvin 06-20-03 04:58 PM

it is a very low res image and I agree it looks like crap, but as a poster it is b e a utiful. ;)

JJE-187 06-20-03 05:52 PM

Maybe you could do a Version A Version B cover for Al like you did with Herc

JoeyOhhhh 06-21-03 04:26 PM

I sent 3 grabs from Melody Time. Let me know if you need more.

Michael Corvin 06-21-03 05:45 PM

Thanks, Joey. I might use the one of J. Appleseed.

JoeyOhhhh 06-21-03 05:52 PM

You're welcome. BTW, how long a quote do you want from the song lyrics?

Michael Corvin 06-22-03 01:06 AM

usually 3 lines, maybe 4 depending how long it is.

JJE-187 06-22-03 11:08 PM

MC, just wondering since your almost done with the actual Disney covers, are you going to do Pixar next? & not sure if you'll be getting sick of the style, but are you still gonna do the Sequels & Live Action/Animated Disney's?

Michael Corvin 06-23-03 09:37 AM

Pixar yes. Live Action? Probably not. I don't have the resources. I might make a template and let someone else do it ala the Stephen King collection. There is only one I will do and that is Song of the South.

JJE-187 06-23-03 01:53 PM

OK, that sounds good. There are only a few (5 total, 2 aren't on DVD) Live Action & Animated movies, so hopefully someone will take them on.

Maybe if you make a template someone else will take on the secondary Disney animated titles as well (there are a ton of those though, so I doubt anyone would take it on)

1 last thing, are you still gonna do covers for Bambi & Cinderella? I have the official Disney VCDs & really want matching covers for them.

Scaramanga 06-23-03 02:16 PM

I would take it :) :) ... I'm a disney collector so I get everything there is to get on DVD (of course limited by my budget) ... so I really would like matching covers for all those sequels and direct to DVD titles too ...

Dagon 06-23-03 10:31 PM

I found this picture for Melody Time and thought I'd pass it along.

Michael Corvin 07-04-03 09:22 AM

The Rescuers is now available.

Michael Corvin 07-07-03 11:56 AM

Make Mine Music is now available.

Scaramanga 07-07-03 12:01 PM

Still missing Oliver & Co. :'(

Michael Corvin 07-07-03 12:08 PM

That is one of the low quality images I have. That is why it is down on the list. Still hoping to find a better quality image. Sorry. We are in the home stretch now though. Only a few left.

Scaramanga 07-07-03 12:16 PM

Yep that's right ! ... Have you considered making a template for all the sequels and direct-to-DVD thinghy's and perhaps letting someone else finish that off ?

Michael Corvin 07-07-03 10:07 PM

yes I have, it is on the to do list.

Saludos Amigos is up. Man that was fast!

Three Caballeros is on the server as well.
