 Alternate
Versions for
Star Burst - Last Contact (1996-2003)
-
The team video premiere was screened from an anamorphic 1:1.77 aspect ratio
version including rendered subtitles for the Rotisseranians on the director's
widescreen TV.
-
A subtitle-free, but still anamorphic version was used to produce the MPEG-2
stream for the DVD, where all subtitles are encoded in a DVD subtitle stream,
naturally.
-
A version including subtitles but letterboxed to 4:3 standard PAL was distributed
both to the composer as first preview of the final picture and employed
for the premiere on a big screen via a video beamer which was unable to
unsqueeze the anamorphic version.
-
The team preview included a long-used 'temporary' soundtrack score featuring
various Star Trek and other movie's original scores (which is included
on the DVD, still).
-
The premiere and internet version employ the originally written score by
Peter Aufderhaar.
-
All so far distributed versions run exactly 29 minutes. Anyway, there are
plans to cut a 22.5 minute version (mainly without the Men-In-Black-dance
[for copyright reasons], nearly all opening logos and the rolling end credits
segment) for possible broadcast within a half-our television slot with
commercial brakes.
