Susan Blu was the voice director? as in Stormer from Jem? That's freakin awesome!

~~Vegita-San~~ · 03-23-2005, 10:58 AM

OK all, I have two numbers I think should get us to the parties we need, now I just need someone who's good at navigating phone menus and sub parties to get to the people we need. I also need someone who can conduct it in a serious/buisness like matter so we come off as sounding reputable

. I get too nervouse and loose concentration when I do new stuff like this.

If anyone is up for the job, LMK.

*Spitfire* · 03-24-2005, 01:20 AM

If everyone here contected FYE viva mail of some sort and the voice actors did as well they would do it. Also might wanna contact Lions Gate. Their putting out the DVDs so they could re-do the voices before they release anymore. It would pay back for itself and they know it

~~Vegita-San~~ · 03-25-2005, 01:23 PM

Update:

Found a way to contact Susan Blu without calling. One of the VA's has passed along my info for her this week. Hopefully she'll be interested and call me back....

First step done

.

I still need someone to call a lions gate number for me. If you think you can help, LMK..

This should prove to be really exciting if they go through with it! Wouldn't it be cool if they also did some original voice clips for the DVD menus?

~~Vegita-San~~ · 03-28-2005, 01:28 PM

Hopefully Mrs. Blue will contact me sometime this week and we can get things started. Now I just need someone to call the Artisan Number I have..

*BigApple3AM* · 03-28-2005, 01:44 PM

I dunno, call me a tmnt conservative if you'd like but I don't think we should be messing around with the original episodes. I would like to keep them completely as they were back when they originally aired, sure sometimes the alternate voice actors were odd, but most of the time it was just nice to hear a different voice. It was nothing really horrible to have a weird sounding donny for one episode, and sometimes I remember watching it as a kid and liking the voice change for that episode. If you liked James Avery as Shredder then watch the ones where he did the voice acting and skip the ones he didn't. The episodes were all very similar in plot anyways. I say no to this unless it's a bonus feature, I want my episodes in tact and completely as they were unedited and untampered.

Orochi Chimera · 03-29-2005, 08:12 PM

They can easily put it on the DVD as another audio track.

If Lucas can do it to Star Wars 24/7, so can we...

That wasn't a good thing.

And to an extent I agree with not messing w/ the originals but in this case I hope it happens. I hated the alternate voices.

Matter of perspective, as the original films were only half what Lucas wanted them to be and only produced them the way they were so Star Wars could be popular enough to warrant more accurate re-makes.

I hate to topic drift, (again

) but is there anyway you could PM me with Contact info for Susan Blu? I was hoping there was a way I could set up an email interview with her for my website...

*BigApple3AM* · 03-31-2005, 06:07 PM

Almost 90% of Star Wars fans would prefer the original movies over the edited ones, look at how much the VHS go for on eBay... If you like the new stuff it means you probably weren't born in time for the original movies. I also gurantee that the whole vision is just a load of ********. He made some movies and then he wanted to make prequels to make more money. I mean look at his street date for all Star Wars merchandise. A friend of mine said that they had to sign all sorts of papers saying they wouldn't release anything before the street date otherwise Lucas would sue. He's in it all for the money. Just because we CAN do it, doesn't mean we should. I CAN jump off a bridge and commit suicide, just because I COULD doesn't mean I should.

I would only want them to alter the episodes if it was a bonus and wasn't the default.

*Deathknight* · 03-31-2005, 06:31 PM

You mean the original original movies or the SE vhs? I preferred the SE actually but I really didn't like the DVD changes. THE SE changes were just added scenes for the most part. The DVD changes were uncalled for.

Edit: I just checked ebay, all the Star Wars VHS aren't going for much of anything.

Newsflash "purist", I LIKE the original movies, I STILL like the original movies, but that does'nt mean the new versions are'nt without merit, they expand and correct a great deal of the storylines that Lucas wanted to originally tell when the films were produced.

I have no biased, blind allegience to, by Lucas' own admission, an incomplete product, I like the improvments he's made to the films, I like the direction he's taken them

*BigApple3AM* · 04-01-2005, 12:44 AM

calm down man, first off I have a name, it's not purist. Lucas did some dirty things like taking out original actors and replace them with new ones. If he wanted to he could have added in things as bonus features.

and DK, the original VHS:

Remember VHS is a dieing, most movies on vhs get like a buck a piece, this is almost the cost of the new DVDs.

More power to you if you're able to pull this off. I for one am not a fan of alternate voices, especially for main characters. They seem replace actors on soap operas quite often. Glad I never got into those things - it would drive me nuts getting used to someone else playing the part when you've seen (and heard) someone else do it for so long.

~~Vegita-San~~ · 04-07-2005, 08:36 PM

Still looking for someone to call Artisan For me. Willing to pay $10's to anyone who helps out. Gotta be able to call and talk to 'em in a buisness like manner, however

..

Anyone interested, lmk...
