The Real Ghostbusters: Complete Collection
James Eatock's Behind The Scenes Photo Diary

James Eatock was one of the key members of The Real Ghostbusters: Complete Collection production team - though you should have known that already seeing as how he's in the featurettes and commentaries! James, did a very cool thing: he documented in photos the week (June 16-24, 2008) he spent in California working on the featurettes and commentaries. Everything from his plane ride from the U.K. to the U.S., each and every day spent conducting interviews, backstage moments with The Real Ghostbusters cast and crew, the actual video tape that the promo pilot was recorded on (which he gleefully posed with!), the promo pilot's intro tag which gives its completion date (this was left off of the DVD), the outside of the animation studio where they filmed the interviews, his visit to Lou Scheimer's house (he's the founder of Filmation - you know, those other Ghostbusters), his plane ride back home, and just about everything else in between!

I have uploaded all 134 very large high resolution original images to an ImageBam gallery. Since they have already deleted a few of the images, they have also been uploaded to the Spook Central Facebook page. Facebook resized and recompressed them, so get what you can from ImageBam first.

The images below are available in two sizes. The thumbnails are linked to resized copies that are no larger than 700 pixels in either width or height. These resized images, as with all images on this site, are displayed using a Lightbox script, which will display the images over this webpage. Depending on your screen depth, some of the vertically orientated images may be scaled down to fit your screen. If you see a magnifying glass in the upper left corner of the image, you can click on the image to see the normal size.

Below each thumbnail is an "original image" link that points to the super high quality original images straight out of James' digital camera. Depending on the orientation, they are either 2592x1944 or 1944x2592 in displayed size, and roughly 2.5 Mb each! As such, I don't recommend you try to view them if you're on a slow connection.

The 97 regular images have captions, the 37 extra images do not. A Caption Index is available for you to read. Oh, yeah...these images are not to be used elsewhere without James' permission.
