Nice. I don't remember my copy having the voice-over at the beginning, but it may have.

Chris, great stuff, as are the rest of your super 8 films on YouTube; just enjoyed watching Logan's Run before work, I'd never seen the super 8 version before!

Marshall, that voice over at the start of Star Wars was standard on the Ken release; I think it works quite well. [Smile]

It SUCKS, (voice over), just my opinion though. In many ways, the STAR WARS digest (200ft) was instrumental to me getting into super 8. I remember seeing the 200ft version at K-Mart and wanting it so badly as a child.

Probably, one of the most re-watchable digests ever made, along with Jaws, as so many people outside of the film realm will instantly want to sit down and watch it as well.

LOL Osi, maybe it does, infact, suck! [Smile]

But when you've been watching something since you were about 10 years old, maybe it just seems better with the old "rose-tinted" than it actually is!! [Smile]

When I retracked the Ken + Marketing digest, I considered dumping the opening voice, then I thought it would still be a good substitute for the title crawl. So a friend (a radio DJ in the US who's got the perfect "in a world..." type of voice) provided it for me...
