Is Gaff wearing more than one hat in the movie? Watching the following pictures, I’m able to confirm, at most, two different hats used. The last one could be the same that appears in the first picture, but… I have a little doubt about it. What do you think?

El sombrero de Gaff

¿Viste Gaff más de un sombrero en la película? Viendo las siguientes imágenes, soy capaz de confirmar que al menos utiliza dos sombreros distintos. El último posiblemente es igual al que aparece en la primera imagen, pero… tengo una pequeña duda al respecto. ¿Qué opinas tú?

Ok my friends!!!

A decision has been taken. The book will be edited by Blurb services. Thus, there are some side effects. Not bad at all:

1. No interest, pre-order or order list will be necessary from now. I’m glad to have you in the list, and wanna thank you your enthusiast, but, Blurb books must be ordered directly from blurb.com. Thus, I cannot take orders personally.

2. The offer 2×1 to the very first 100 orders are not in effect. In fact, this offer only would be feasible if 100 orders (at least) were taking effect. It’s not the case. But…

3. The 96 page limit is overrided. Also the original size. Size will be, at least, 25×20 or 20×25, with a possibility to be bigger (but cost is an issue). Pages could be extended to 280 without change the original price (around $75,00). Thus, the 2×1 offer is irrelevant… you will have almost THREE books, and bigger ones, for the same price….

4. Topics will be limited to props till the limited 250-280 pages are filled. Then, this will be a “props only edition”.

5. An especial edition “no limits” will be done…. with more information about BR, bibliography, merchandising, books, collections and so on. Perhaps extended to more topics, like sequels, videogames, soundtracks (especial attention to bootlegs), and so on… until full 400 pages limit. This especial edition will be not cheap, but… more complete.

6. TIME. I cannot plan, now, timings… Props are popping out here and there everyday… everyweek… I receive new props for my own private collection, I discover props from other collectors, and, you know, this is a non stop race… THUS…. I wanna ensure a good and abroad selection of props for this very first book about this topic. BUT… I must cut the development time. Several months, perhaps 1 year, must be the limit, and no more. I will make my own calculations and decide this very important parameter. You may, meanwhile, make your comments about this.

7. Collection period. As in the previous point, FOR NOW THERE IS NO LIMIT, but… I will happy to have your contributions asap. And your signed permissions too… I don’t want to have troubles with a fan project… Yeah, I’ll add a little fee to each book, of course! but my investment is so high to avoid more money off for a lack of forms. A simple document given non exclusive rights to publish your pictures and articles, will be enough.

8. Brochures. Yes. Blurb.com have a nice feature, DEMO. It permits to watch some pages before decide. But… another possibility is to make a “brocheure edition” of, for example, 40 pages, very cheap, to “test” de form, quality and pictures. I think could be useful to all of you, while the final volume are developed.

9. Shipping cost. Well, if you reside in US/Canada, the shipping cost will be very cheap, and the rest, well, I will be the first paying some high costs of shipping… but… it’s life…

10. Free copies (for any reason) cannot be available from me. I could buy some copies to re-distribute, but shipping costs will be 10 times the real cost (for US/Canada destinations) and for the rest, double shipping. I’ll study the way to give some especial free copies, but is not easy. I prefer to give you more content for the same price.

That’s all for this status update. Same text will be published at Propsummit.com. This blog will be the daily journal and status control of the project from now to the end. An then, the support site.

Any questions, of course, will be answered here and there, no matter.

Artículo publicado en Propsummit:

¡Ok amigos míos!

He tomado una decisión. El libro será editado a través del servicio de Blurb. Así pues, se producen algunos efectos laterales, y no son malos precisamente:

1. A partir de ahora no será necesaria una lista de interesados o de pedidos previos. Estoy muy contento de tenerte en la lista, y agradezco mucho todo el entusiasmo vertido hasta ahora, pero, los libros Blurb tiene que ser pedidos directamente a blurb.com. Por tanto, no podré registrar los pedidos personalmente.

2. La oferta 2×1 para los primeros 100 pedidos ya no tiene sentido ni efecto. De hecho esta oferta sólo podía ser efectiva si realmente se producían 100 pedidos como mínimo. No es el caso, pero…

3. El límite de 96 páginas será pasado por alto. También el tamaño original. El tamaño real ahora será, como mínimo, de 25×20 o 20×25, con posibilidad de un formato aún mayor (aunque el coste es considerable). El número de páginas puede ser extendido hasta 280

3. The 96 page limit is overrided. Also the original size. Size will be, at least, 25×20 or 20×25, with a possibility to be bigger (but cost is an issue). Pages could be extended to 280 sin cambiar el precio original (alrededor de $75,00). Así pues la oferta 2×1 es irrelevante… obtendrás casi TRES libros, y más grandes, por el mismo precio….

4. Las temáticas se limitarán a los props hasta que se llene el límite de 250-280 páginas. Por tanto, será una edición “sólo props”.

5. Se realizará una edición “sin límites”…. con más información sobre BR, bibliografía, merchandising, libros, colecciones, etc. Quizás se extienda a más temas, como secuelas, videojuegos, bandas sonoras (especial atención a los bootlegs), etc… hasta llenar las 400 páginas que hay como límite. Esta edición especial no será barata…. pero muy completa.

6. TIEMPO. No puedo planificar timings ahora… Los props aparecen por todas partes, cada día… cada semana… Recibo nuevos props para mi propia colección, descubro los de otros coleccionistas, y, como sabes, esta es una carrera sin final…. POR TANTO…. quiero asegurar una buena y amplia selección de props para este primerísimo libro sobre este tema. PERO…. debo cortar el tiempo de desarrollo. Meses, quizás un año debería ser el límite, y no más. Tengo que hacer mis propios cálculos y decidir este importante parámetro. Mientras tanto, puedes hacer todo tipo de comentarios sobre este punto.

7. Tiempo de recolección. Como en el punto anterior, POR AHORA NO HAY FECHA LIMITE, pero… estaría contento de tener todas las contribuciones cuanto antes posible. Y los permisos firmados también… No quiero tener problemas con un proyecto de aficionado… Si, evidentemente cargaré una pequeña comisión por libro, ¡por supuesto! Pero mi inversión ya ha sido lo bastante alta como para evitar malgastar dinero por faltar a las formas. Un simple documento dando permiso sin exclusividad para publicar tus fotos y artículos, será suficiente.

8. Muestras. Si. Blurb.com tiene una opción interesante, DEMO. Permite ver algunas páginas del libro antes de decidirse. Pero… otro posibilidad es crear una “edición demostrativa”, por ejemplo de unas 40 páginas, barata, para “comprobar” el formato, la calidad, las imágenes. Creo que sería útil para todos, mientras el volumen final se va desarrollando.

9. Coste de envío. Bien, si resides en USA o Canadá el coste de envío será muy barato. Para el resto, bueno, yo seré el primero en pagar un poco más por recibir los libros… pero eso es así….

10. Copias gratuítas. Las copias gratis, por la razón que fuera, no estarán disponibles por mi parte. Podría comprar varias copias para redistribuirlas, pero los costes de envío se multiplicarían por 10 desde el origen en USA hasta redistribuirlas. Estudiaré la forma de obsequiar con algunas copias gratis, pero no es fácil. Prefiero ofrecer más contenido sin elevar el precio del libro.

Esto es todo para esta actualización de estado de la cuestión. El mismo texto ha sido publicado en Propsummit.com.

Para cualquier duda, puedes usar este blog, o cualquiera de los foros en los que me encuentro.

Two long years to produce a unique and fatastique replica of one of the most wanted props in the movie: The JW Bottle. It’s very nice to see how each of the lucky people that now has one of these rare pieces, has labeled, decorated, filled, and taken pictures of the bottle alone or bundled with some other props related.

I have a dream… A pair of pages, perhaps more(?) devoted to these fan pictures, to show the particular devotion of each one of us.

Here is mine. Still unfinished, unlabeled, like the very first day I’ve received it. Cannot think about labeling and so on for now…

My bottle

A new tab has been added: Props.

It contains the (ever updating) Table of Contents, or better, the list of props taht will be included in the book. Anytime I get a new prop, or a contributor give me data, info and pictures about a new prop, I will add it to this list.

Take it as a reference of what is in and what not (for now).

Pestaña Props – Indice

He creado una nueva pestaña llamada Props.

Contiene la Tabla de Contenido, siempre en evolución, o mejor aún, la lista de los props que serán incluídos en el libro. Cada vez que recibo un nuevo prop, o un colaborador me envía información, fotos, etc. respecto a un nuevo prop, lo iré añadiendo a esta lista.

Hi folks! Finally, 20 days after my order…. Blurb books arrived!
I’d only opened two of them (three ordered) and looks terrific at first! Text issues in one of them (perhaps author bad font choice, don’t know), the second one, perrrrrfect text and image quality…

I will check all the details about binding, colour, text, paper and so on to write a complete comment, and then…. decide what to do! Chances are about 95% and up…. More on, Blurb has updated their software just this month…. Nice additions, bugs removed… Well, seems like the machinery is ready to go.

This week will be a great one to make things happen! AT LAST!

Contributos are welcomed, as ever…. but, hurry up boys! They are ONLY 400 pages limit to fill!!!! Razz

More to come!

Bindings:

Softcover. The finish is perfect. Nice illustration in covers, brilliant colors. Not so easy to open the book, but cost and auqlity are very balanced. Book: “Made in Tokyo”

Hardcover. Well, the book I bought has more than 200 pages. A good choice for this such a book. Not so brilliant finish (in this particular book) as softcover one, but it looks strong and well done. Book: “Gaijin Diary”.

Hardcover with dust jacket. Well… very thin book, thus, I believe this is not the best finish for them. Anyway, cover is brilliant. Book: “Moments” by James Knight-Smith.

Text. Text is the main issue of these books. If font type is not chosen well, results are poor. Too aliased. Perhaps the author of book choose this finish, I don’t know. The “Moments” and “Made in Tokyo” books has a nice lloking type anyway. Little fonts are not so suitable, I guess. Medium to big ones are Ok.

Decissions….. I think Blurb books are a must for this particular project. Good quality (not the top one I desire, but…) and fast delivering (not internationally, must use the fastest option, Economy rest for 15-20 days). I think IS the option.

Will post some pics later.

Yes. Preview. I will make a preview of the book in the next weeks. 3, 4 o 5 pages, I don’t know. Enough to take pulse to contents… I hope! Also, to begin work with the TOC and Index. I must reserve room for each prop that will appear in the book.

This preview will be published as a PDF sample.

A list with all props candidates will be posted here too. And contributors too, with a three status: none, offered, confirmed.

Let’s go!

Well, another aspect to take in account. Packaging.

I’d done some research in this point. And found these practical and secure carboard boxes made to do book postal shipments with confidence.

Cost is reasonable low. From 0.38€ the cheapest (more or less, $0.57). I think its very affordable and will protect as well the book.

Inside, I plan to double protect the book with a plastic bag or foam film, whatever I see better when the shipment process begins.
