Yeah, let's go with that. Just rip what you can and in the best quality possible! Also, how are you going to share the content? By a file link or YouTube uploads?
I'm attempting to rip the disc (after reading up on many sites) and since it's encrypted I'd figure I'd try a decrypter. However, it can't read at one point in the disc (the disc is pretty darn scratched). Should I find a place that can resurface the disc?
Shit. I hope that was at an uninteresting point of it. I'd say maybe try to get it resurfaced at a store or somewhere for free but be ABSOLUTELY CAREFUL THAT THEY DONT DAMAGE IT OR STEAL IT perhaps.
What do you mean about their recent movies, TPJ. I actually it racist as they're one of their most recent films, called Coco, revolves around Day of the Dead, which is a Mexican holiday.
This isn't a race debate and I don't want to turn this into one, so let's stop now. Completely uncalled for and irrelevant to the main topic.
Lol I haven't even seen Coco. Or Cars 2, Cars 3 or The Good Dinosaur.
So, I know I was interested in the image, and that I shouldn't cross bridges before we make them (since the DVD isn't ripped yet), but something has been on my mind since this new information has come out:
What is the potential risk to getting this shared? I know how excited people are about this coming close to being found (so am I) but how dangerous is this? This is Pixar, a powerful animation studio. This DVD is pretty much a journal of their early years. There's stuff on there that hasn't surfaced. Call me paranoid but would they be mad? Would this be illegal to upload online?
As cool as the early animation would be to see, I'm wondering about the party videos. They would have people's faces and potential personal information. Could that be problematic?
I'm probably bringing up something already mentioned but it was bothering me. Sorry for being paranoid and stirring doubt, but I just don't want the lost media wiki community to get in deep water for just trying to archive something. I just want to know if there's a way to rip this at least borderline legally, like to archive.org or something.
Well according to contacts of LSSQ, it was available at the Pixar Employee shop, so it might not be as private as we thought?
Pixar is a big boy in the entertainment industry. Will they even notice? "Oh no JL, someone uploaded those Toy Story ABC bumpers that aren't the Treats online, we should really put any energy into that rather than our films and the case with you. Let's take down these internet nobodies for having the gull to share some animation we made but can't legally share even though quite honestly, the general public barely knew of this DVD thing beforehand and neither did we."
SWEET LAWD THERE IT IS. jarets35, if you're willing to rip and share it with us at some point, I also suggest that you go with ripping the DVD iso. For those who know about ripping, would that be preferable because it's like ripping the DVD itself and not individual footage parts from it at potentially inferior quality? And how do you extract said footage from a ripped iso file?
Thanks for your assistance in this LSSQ! I can try sending an email to the guy you mentioned in DM explaining our perspective in wanting the DVD.
To the person suggesting searching for the things individually, remember that the Apple Mac ad, Bug's Life Ponkikkies, other Toy Story 2 on-set interview and ABC Toy Story bumpers that aren't the Treats are things I've yet to have heard about outside of their existence on the DVD. Plus there's like around 80 of those Pixar commercials. This DVD may not be easy to acquire, but it seems logical to try and get the one thing containing all this content in one place first before giving up and searching for the 100+ items through other means.
Well not ALL all. We could still search for and contact Pixar people of that era. Just, let's be careful not to come off as... Bugging or irritant?
I’ll do some digging this coming weekend (busy at the moment) and see what I can find on who else might have been working there at that time. Early 2000s, right?
Yes, some time after For the Birds was complete judging by its inclusion.
Well not ALL all. We could still search for and contact Pixar people of that era. Just, let's be careful not to come off as... Bugging or irritant?
About the pool thing, we could do that, but maybe it's just me not being the most knowledgeable about these kind of internet money things: what if we get scammed? What if Oym or someone just decides to pocket the money and never send forward the DVD/rip it/whatever? Granted with a Pixar employee that may be less likely, but this Oym guy didn't even respond to more recent inquiries on my part.
I'd like the names of who you contacted. Which one was the one who had it in storage? If hypothetically they did get to it at some point would they be up for sharing the DVD?
Okay so Cartoon Brew once posted this article showing different work pieces from the cancelled Dreamworks film Me and My Shadow. It was unfortunately promptly taken down by NBC Universal and the original clips seemed to vanish from its original blog location from someone who worked on it. I have not seen this reuploaded anywhere but have seen these animations (http://animationalchemy.blogspot.co.uk/2016/12/flashback-me-my-shadow.html & www.youtube.com/watch?v=k5Hf7k-hr-8), and like the latter this might also have Bill Hader voicing the shadow.
Hi LSSQ! So yeah there's the physical DVD, but a straight up rip of the DVD's contents would be equally as appreciated, if perhaps hard to do. And this is technically early 2000s Pixar we're talking about in terms of size.
Yes, the people listed are the only ones I've contacted thus far, with the only non-Pixar employee (that we know of) being the Oym Museum guy. So at least one copy has made it out of the Pixarian grasp, so to speak. Navone and Pidgeon didn't respond further after claiming they had a copy and me asking about them sharing its footage.
So yeah, there's at least five copies around and they'd presumably go through the DVD making trouble for more than that There's still several potential contacts who were working at Pixar at the early 2000s, post-For the Birds time. I personally hope that as someone can leak that Bionicle Legend of Mata Nui game under anonymity, that some Pixar employee (still with the company or not) can be kind enough to rip the DVD and share it online anonymously. As we know with Oym-museum, the DVD and its contents have technically already made its way out of the Pixarian group, so why not go all the way? Might as well share this interesting content that in the case of the commercials at least, is actually important to Pixar's history.
