Subject: EVIDENCE: The running shoe does exist.
Organization: University of Waterloo
Date: Sat, 23 Jan 1993 02:32:16 GMT

I noticed there was some debate going on as to the existance of the 
running shoe, so I looked it up. It belongs(ed) to Ken Ralston.

From:  _Industrial Light & Magic: The Art of Special Effects_
       By Thomas G. Smith, Del Rey, Ballantine Books, 1986.
       ISBN 0-345-32263-0,   Pages 118,120.

The context of the paragraph is "motion control" wrt models.

   "The job requires endless patience. In /Return of the Jedi/, 
    there were some shots where scores of ships were seen at the
    same time. Needless to say, it was /very/ complicated and 
    painstaking work. Once Ken [Ralston] got so frustrated by
    all the ships in /Jedi/ that he took off his tennis shoe and 
    put it in the film as part of the Rebel fleet. The shoe 
    actually ended up in the final film, thought you have to know
    exactly where to look in order to see it."


And there we have it.

Personally, I'm among the people who think they've seen it. 
As people were describing (I won't go into it) it can be seen through
the canopy of a ship (Wedge's?).  With a freeze-frame, it looked 
like the fuzzy outline of a running shoe, bottom view. (Our 
recording of it wasn't exceptional.)  And even though we were told
where to look, it was quite difficult to find, because it didn't
look much like a shoe, until you get a good look at it. 

It's an amazing book, btw - I highly recommend it for SPFX buffs.

Here is a post for all of the (self-proclaimed) Star Wars experts on here.

Here are a few Star Wars trivia questions that are all answerable from watching
the movie(closely, I might add). The trick is this: How many can you answer
WITHOUT consulting the movie? (Special note: There is one that refers to one of
the movie soundtracks, so that's the exception).

So try your luck! See how many you can answer! :)

1) In Jedi, what part of the Falcon was broken off when it had it's
near-collision with the superstructure of the Death Star?
2) In SW:ANH, what is the number on the pressure release hatch (in the
compactor)?
3) There are three(perhaps more?) times in the trilogy in which the Falcon is
seen upside-down(from the camera's view, of course). Can you name all three(or
more, if there are)?
4) In Jedi, how many Rebel ships fly into the superstructure, and can you name
their types(ie Xwings, Falcon, etc.)?
5) On the Jedi soundtrack(see special note above), the track named "Rebel
briefing" is (sadly) not actually the music from the Rebel Briefing scene. What
scene(s) is it actually from?

There ya go! I know the answers to these, and if given a little time I could
probably think up a few more... :)

Well, ships that are not yet operational are generally not considered parts
of a fleet. Although MOTTI was still (over)confident that the DS could defend
itself, it was not yet finished.

The DS did become operational at a ceremony hosted by Tarkin (with Liea as his
guest), and hence part of the starfleet.

There is a listing of all of the Harrison Ford Movies (the good and the

There was a message about such a list just yesterday, I just didn't make

By-the-way, Ford was also in Apocolypse Now, Frantic, The Mosquito
Coast, and in E.T. (although his scene as the school principal was

So what's Sam Keith doing on the list, then?

(Sorry.  I don't like his artwork.  At all.)

The others are decent artists (Keown and Simonson are probably
better than some of the others), but George Perez is INCREDIBLE.
(Simonson and Kennedy have also done the SW characters before.
Kennedy did Dark Horse's Dark Empire series, which really
needed better coloring.  Simonson worked on the Marvel series
shortly after TESB).

Sounds like this could be a good set.  Can't wait until April.

On the weekend of Febuary 20, 1993, the Animation Society of Virginia
Tech, VTAS, will present AnimeFest X.  This will be a 30-hour, weekend long
FREE Anime showing on the campus of Virginia Tech university.
All programs will be shown on the giant projection TV in the 
Hancock Hall auditorium, complete with 900 watts of sound.
  Virginia Tech is located in Blacksburg, Virginia (like you couldn't
guess from the name), about 30 miles southwest of Roanoke along I-81.              

  While the schedule has not yet been set, we can promise a wide variety of
subbtitled and English material.  The prime feature will be the British 
claymation film "Truckers", based on the Terry Pratchett novel of the 
same name (also the author of the "Diskworld" series, and "The Color of
Magic").  We are quite certain that this film has never before been shown
in the United States, so it promises to be quite a premire!
  Other Animation films (mostly Japanese in origin)lineup include 
the Ranma movie (subtitled in English), Women Warriors Effi and Jiri 
(also subtitled), Samauri Pizza Cats (English), Mamono Hunter Yohko 
(subtitled), Supernatural Beast City (subbed), the completed Aeon Flux #1, 
and The Wind is Called Amnesia (subtitled).

Hello,
	I have recently been exposed to a unique experience called "The Cinema 'n
Drafthouse"  It is a movie theater, that has tables and chairs instead of
regular seats.  The theater is a second run theater which means it shows
movies taht have been out for a while, but are still good films(usually). 
The catch is that you can order food(beer, wine, pizza, burgers, nachos
etc) and eat while eatching the film.  The price of the food is very
reasonable, and since it is a second run theater it costs $2.00 or less to
get in.  I am thinking of getting the rights to put one in the houston
area, hopefully near Rice.  Is this the sort of thing that people would be
interested in?  I am from Minnesota, and the one there is doing very well. 
Please feel free to E-mail or post a reply.

Date: Wed, 27 Jan 1993 00:10:43 GMT



ConFrancisco, the 1993 Worldcon, will mail its PR 5 to most of members on
Monday, January 25.  PR 5 includes the long-awaited Hotel Booking Form, the
Hugo Nominating Ballot, the 1996 Worldcon Site Selection Ballot, the Masquerade
Registration Form, and lots more interesting information about ConFrancisco.

PRs will be mailed to members by the following methods:

Outside North America (except as noted below):  Via International Surface Air
Lift mail from Sacramento, California.  ISAL mail gets air mail treatment to
the country to which it is addressed and is entered into that country's surface
mail system, so the delivery time should be similar to the US bulk mail or
better.

Canada, Mexico, Croatia, Andorra, and Saudia Arabia: By printed matter air or
ordinary air mail, depending on circumstances, from Walnut Creek, California.
The first four contries in that group do not qualify for ISAL mail for one
reason or another, and the latter presents special problems for "printed
matter."

Hawaii:  First class from Walnut Creek, California.  The last time we mailed a
PR, copies bound for Hawaii were either mangled or inordinately delayed or
both.

United States (except Hawaii and Zip codes 936xx-961xx): Bulk Rate from
Sacramento, California.

Because not enough volunteers came to the ten-hour work session on Saturday,
January 23, we were unable to prepare enough PRs to cover the roughly 1,000
members in Northern California (Zip codes starting with 936 through 961).
Sacramento-based members of the committee expect to work on the remaining
copies this week and mail the Northern California members' PRs on Saturday,
January 30. (The bulk mail center is open on Saturdays.)

Michael Siladi was at BASFA last night and I got him to give a BayCon '93
update. The GoH's should be confirmed this week and will likely be
announced "offically" at the BayCon meeting this Saturday (1pm @ Red Lion).

Other than that, a PR is about ready to be mailed, they're at about 600
pre-reg, they're still looking for staff, they're now talking about 2
tracks of programming instead of 4, and the problem with the Post Office
returning mail has been cleared up. Michael said the PO thinks maybe 15-20
pieces were returned accidentily.

For more details you'll have to talk with him or go to the ConCom meeting.
