I recall from years ago that Cartoon Network (& Adult Swim) ran a memorial bump for Chuck Jones that consisted of a blank page at first, and then his face & the years of his life were drawn in... and there were no spoken words. I remember it being pretty powerful, and I've searched high and low for it but I can't find it anywhere.
Do any of you know what I'm even talking about here? I've had a hard time convincing people that the TV spot actually exists. If any of you remember it, might you have a copy of it tucked away on your hard drives or perhaps know of a link to it on the mighty interweb?
I'd be very much appreciative of any info or a helpful suggestion of where to look or ask around.
-
I do remember what you're talking about, even though I don't have a copy (nor a capture card, that was in February 2002). It was really touching, but I don't know where could you find a copy of it. I'll try to scour the web though.
-
Thanks for looking! Have you found anything? I've done my fair share of sifting about and nothing has come to my attention, unfortunately.
-
No :-( I've tried a lot of searches but nothing's turned up. Does anyone else know about this? (Numy, Beefy, Crab?)
-
I doubt that I'd have it anywhere... I was hoping Beefy might pick up the trail. :|
-
Who dares summon Beefy? :evil:
I have some clips on my hard drive from April 2002, but none of them have the clip you're looking for.
I have a few other tapes lying around, but I don't know what's on them or when they were recorded. If I ever get some vacation time I want to go through them.
I'll keep a look out for this, but I make no guarantees and don't expect anything anytime soon.

Hi, necroing this thread in light of a recent re-searching for the memorial spot in question. Any further developments, perchance? I can't even find any indication of the spot on the web, let alone a recording. Quite disheartened, I am.
-
I've haven't had a chance to dig through my tapes yet.
There's a few other projects I need to get done before I can go tape searching.
I just got one project done that's been sitting around for two years (stupid Miguzi bumps), that's how backlogged my "to do" pile is.

Hi again. I just did a Google search for "chuck jones memorial spot" without the quotes; this thread was the top result. Rather disheartening, really. Searching through the subsequent threads doesn't lead to a video and I've only found sparse acknowledgment that the spot in question actually exists.
Any new developments, perhaps?
/edit: the search was actually for the following:
"chuck jones" memorial spot
-
Come on guys, let's hustle! :-P :-D hehe.
-
Wow, an unexpected bump! For the record, I haven't done much more searching. I'm pretty much resigned to the idea that the only copy of the spot in question is tucked away in some Turner archive.
-
No news regarding this one yet.
-
It's been a LONG time since I bumped this... but I figured I might as well see if one of you fine folks has any more info or some time to dig through a tape or two.
:-)
-
My plans to go through the tapes last month got delayed. :-(
At least I didn't forget.
I hope to find some time to work on it in the next few months.

Back to pester you again, Beefy!
I often think of Chuck Jones and am reminded of that tribute spot. This time it was this photo of the guy (http://jerome-k-moore.deviantart.com/gallery/#/d2seyw0) that brought it all to mind again.
Any news from your wondrous tape archive? I did actually have a search around for a bit, lest you think me nothing but a horrid layabout, but alas, the dearth of info is unchanged.
*sigh*
-
My brilliant plan to dig through my tapes this month got foiled.
I'm looking at the end of August to try again.
