Will 2,215 Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 7 hours ago, crumbs said: It sounds as if his acceptance speech was "severely" truncated in the broadcast, according to a poster on FSM. Disappointing if true. What!? They couldn't even leave that intact!? Well, perhaps the broadcasters took a cue from Williams' OST building -- editing for a questionably better listening experience. Anyway, I finally watched the program this afternoon. The opening was cheesy but after that it was really great! Mostly the same old stories, but still nice to take a look back at a wonderful career! Can't get over Harrison Ford's appearance. Is he growing that facial hair for a movie? He looks so different from during TFA production! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is definitely one obvious cut, where he's talking about one thing and then suddenly exclaiming about George Lucas. The early reports from the night mentioned that he spoke about his thoughts on film music and its place in musical history, the cut was somewhere in there. They got a little of it and a joke about Beethoven/Wagner but I also read that he mentioned Alfred Newman and Bernard Herrmann and those comments were snipped. Shameful. But hey, they did keep the entirety of Will Ferrell "conducting" random people who have nothing to do with JW vocalizing all over the CE3K signal for five minutes so.....

Popular Post TownerFan 4,983 Posted June 18, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted June 18, 2016 I think it was a loving and fitting tribute overall. You can't get more celebratory and gushing than this, really. It was a JW love-fest from top to bottom. I don't know what the people disappointed by it were expecting--all the AFI Life Achievement Award shows are done this way, i.e. a bunch of Hollywood stars gathering to celebrate an individual, telling teleprompted jokes and outpouring how much they love him/her. That being said, the love towards JW was sincere and everything was genuinely nice. It's quite unique the AFI gave this specific award (usually reserved to actors and directors) to a composer, and how great of JW to say there were more composers in the past who would have been great candidates.

Amer 2,078 Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 I thought the music from Williams oeuvre was used quite elegantly through out the duration of the program/ Looks like it was well edited and cut by Williams own agency guys at GSA.

I have a feeling that the 1 hour, 5 minutes version I saw was a seriously edited version -- with just the "big" names and such. I would certainly love to have seen the live feed instead. I have feeling they edited out a lot of good stuff. It was creatively edited to optimize viewability. After all, a chronological and complete live feed would be totally inappropriate for the TV medium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will 2,215 Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 I noticed yesterday while in Silver Spring, Maryland (right outside DC) that an AFI Silver theater there was showing the gala on the big screen. They were also, presumably to tie into the event, advertising the showings of several Williams films -- the SW OT, The Fury, Dracula, TFA, and maybe others. While I was only in the area for one day and didn't get a chance to visit that theater, that's still pretty cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrbellamy 6,270 Posted August 9, 2016 Author Share Posted August 9, 2016 2:20-2:25 seemed edited to me...just something slightly off about that. Like they cut out something after his Watertower joke to get to his segue into directors, and then further cut to get to Lucas. You can hear a little bit of crossfade in the audio, I think, the clapping at 2:23. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpaceCoyote 150 Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 I know this would've been nicer two months ago, but I’ve put the John Williams AFI ceremony online. It’s on Google Drive and not YouTube, because I figured it wouldn’t last long on there. Something messed up during the process of getting it from my DVR to my computer, so every twenty seconds the video glitches for about half a second. It isn't really an issue, just a minor annoyance. I don’t know if I’m allowed to post a link in the forums, so anyone who wants the link can send me a message.
