As one...I've been Trying to reach Alan to no avail! <BR/><BR/>As one of the co-founders of Pinesalad, I too would like to get together with my old friends in a reunion and do something special.<BR/><BR/>I live in Boston now and I'm working on remastering these from DVD. I need some help though. I don't have "You lying Hussy...", or "So glad...". I also don't know which Dirty Pair episode DVD set(s) from which our episodes were culled.<BR/><BR/>I'd like to invite the crew out to Boston for a reunion at the Anime Convention here in March. I'm working on getting Pinesalad on the program guide at a con for the 1st time in 20 yrs. <BR/><BR/>I'd help re-dub a new episode in a second if I could just hear back from someone in our group. <BR/><BR/>Alan, contact me at kheiden@mac.com.<BR/><BR/>Sincerely,<BR/><BR/>KurtAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7693402.post-41252650239715846412007-06-28T05:35:00.000-05:002007-06-28T05:35:00.000-05:00Wow!

Thanks for the mention there!<BR/><BR/>I'm still surprised that after 20 years the PineSalad parodies are still remembered well by the folks who saw them.<BR/><BR/>I still tease Pam (aka BDBanzai) from time to time about doing another project. Maybe if we can bribe her.. hmmm... might take a house payment or 2 though.<BR/><BR/>Just to clarify there were actually three RoboTech's (dubbed between 1986 and 1987):<BR/><BR/>1. How Drugs Won The War<BR/>2. You Lying Hussy! I thought you were a Man!<BR/>3. So Glad You Could Stop by for a Sip of Sherry Slut.<BR/><BR/>They were mostly done with an off the air recording of RoboTech, a microphone (well, you couldn't call it that for the first episode), and the audio dub button on a VCR (something that was fairly common on VCR's of the time).<BR/><BR/>Scenes were dubbed "live" and hence the numerous glitches in the tapes.<BR/><BR/>For the DP's there were four episodes (dubbed between 1987 and 1990):<BR/><BR/>1. Dirty Pair Duz Dishes<BR/>2. Revenge of BD<BR/>3. Fistfull of Pasta<BR/>4. Viva La Dirty Pair<BR/><BR/>I remastered those to S-VHS with Laserdisc source in 1991 and seems to be what's floating around out there. <BR/><BR/>And technically there is a 5th Dirty Pair that was never finished. It has been worked on from time to time over the years but it's a dead project at this point (it had a killer sound track though).<BR/><BR/>Again, thanks mentioning us. Seeing things like this makes me want to work on this stuff again.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7693402.post-73237610416067565092007-06-28T05:30:00.000-05:002007-06-28T05:30:00.000-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11562403074660083894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7693402.post-69928148798275459162007-03-27T23:27:00.000-05:002007-03-27T23:27:00.000-05:00In this age of YouTube I'm surprised that there ar...<I>In this age of YouTube I'm surprised that there aren't more dub parodies getting attention out there.</I><BR/><BR/>Heh, I once had "You Say Yamato" up on YouTube on my previous account before I was kicked off, wanted to stick up "Fast Food Freedom Fighters" as well. Also got all the Pinesalad Dirty Pair vids too.<BR/><BR/>I know I'd love to see the Star Dipwads put up on YouTube/Google/DailyMotion myself, reading about it makes it sound like something Adult Swim eventually did with "Sealab 2021" or the other crap they've produced.<BR/><BR/>I do think it's kind of a shame there hasn't big a big interest in doing so personally. The best effort I've seen so far is some guy who's done a fandub on YouTube to a fairly recent anime, "Yu-Gi-Oh: The Abridged Series". So far the original poster had his video removed but a couple other guys stuck them back up. I think the writing/editing in them is actually quite good, though it's obviously most of the voices are probably done by one or two guys here.<BR/><BR/>IN AMERICA!<BR/><BR/>Being also reminded of the short-lived MTV program, "Cartoon Sushi", and the "Ultracity 6060" segments they did on there. I wasn't sure if they were a tribute or an insult to the efforts of the real fans out there who could've done those things better themselves.<BR/><BR/>One thing I tried on YouTube that can't really be called an AMV, but was something simple and of interest only to me is to sync audio of a particular theme song to an unrelated cartoon (mostly American), and finding how out well the sychronicity is even by sheer accident.<BR/><BR/>The first of such I toyed with was the opening theme of the first episode to Harushi Suzumiya (namely the "Koi no Mikuru Densetsu in SOS Brigade's little video), and re-editing it to the opening of one of America's most infamously cheap cartoons of the early 90's, Hammerman (I couldn't stand this toon)! Needless to say the results were satisfactory and utter perfect!<BR/>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z92w3TPJCpo<BR/><BR/>Really, I didn't expect this to be that good at all. It's more of how I pick the song verses how I see it play out to the visuals. That's my main deal. Sometimes it makes a show look better this way I feel, such as what I did here...<BR/>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v7-4V-Iof3o<BR/><BR/>This idea though came about some 6 years ago, when the Battle of the Planets CD soundtrack was released (while I loathe how that cartoon was put together, the extra music by Hoyt Curtin kinda made up for it's weakness), somehow I had LoGH on and somehow just messed around with listening to the theme from BoTP during the OP sequence and went, WTF! It just worked so well though I didn't know how others might've liked what I did. It's stupid yes but on another level I consider it art!<BR/><BR/>I had a few others I've made but I haven't gathered the strength to bother sticking the up anyway, like one I did of the GoBots cartoon with the OP theme to UFO Robo Grendizer used (sans the lyrics as I used a non-vocal version). Just felt the show worked better if Shunsuke Kikuchi was doing the BGM instead. Of course synching a Japanese theme to an American cartoon can be a tad tricky over the lengths between either (Japanese themes usually are over a minute long while most American OP sequences are 45 seconds or so).Chris Sobieniakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09838106041175506925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7693402.post-66165785445473332012007-03-26T08:45:00.000-05:002007-03-26T08:45:00.000-05:00Your descriptions actually make Star Dipwads sound...Your descriptions actually make Star Dipwads sound funny. I'd be half tempted to go back and look at those again if I didn't know already how thin the jokes could often be.<BR/><BR/>Incidentally, I never saw the Enterprise-fights-the-Yamato video until a good ways after making Harlock vs Han Solo. That got inspired by a "fights I'd like to see" list Dave III had included in the old C/FO newsletter circa 1987.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7693402.post-8370744792945753962007-03-24T16:06:00.000-05:002007-03-24T16:06:00.000-05:00In this age of YouTube I'm surprised that there ar...In this age of YouTube I'm surprised that there aren't more dub parodies getting attention out there.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01621988278894362595noreply@blogger.com
