I everyone, I am new here and I would like to thank you for your warm welcome to the site. First, I would like to introduce myself, I am a professional painter and I live in France. I am a visual artist and and create art which can be figurative or also abstract. You can take a look, if you want to have an idea: http://christophe.bau.din1.free.fr/ But I am also a huge fan of Miami Vice, and Jan Hammer's songs of course which create such a special atmosphere. Right now, I am thinking of creating a new series based on the best TV series !!! And that's the reason why I thought I could join the MV community. I would like to have your feedback, know what you think, so feel free to share your ideas. You probably also have pictures, that would be a great basis for a potential painting in this series, so feel free to send me pictures if you think it could become a nice painting. The only condition is that it has to be linked to Miami and Miami Vice. I know this process is perhaps unusual, but I think it is very exciting to include the whole community in the creative process, see what you think, and perhaps have a chance to meet one day, during the exhibition, why not ? I'm looking forward to hearing from you. See you soon, Christophe.

I have read that originally broadcast; Calderone had a much longer death scene, where as on the dvds it's been cut and shortened, was wondering if anybody had the footage as I know some members recorded the episodes back in the time where the episode aired?

You've probably discussed this on the forum somewhere, and I'm too new to notice it. I came across a new creation from Jan Hammer three days ago. I always respect an artist's efforts and labor so much, that I buy his/her CD if I really like their stuff. "Seasons Pt-1" I think he released this (maybe means he composed it) just a YEAR ago, 2018. No exaggeration, if you close your eyes it has the IDENTICAL mood and atmosphere of any of his music from the show. Understand, it's NOT made for the tv show, and isn't some kind of unreleased music that was left in the vaults of Miami Vice. (although I think I read somewhere that Jan considers this a kind of spiritual release of feelings still hanging around inside him from that show). But if you play it in a nice car while you or your friend tool silently down a night street in your city, it's that same aura of two undercovers moving across the city with secret purpose, trusting that Gina and Trudy have the back-up in place. Not pulling out your easy-grip pump shotg----er, em--I mean,...pulling out your CELL PHONE, not pulling out your FRIENDLY CELL PHONE, until you need to. Seriously, it makes you realize Hammer didn't have to CONSTRUCT this music specifically for the tv show he was commissioned to. This music IS in him naturally. It permeates his personality in more than half of his writing. Even 30 years later. He didn't create something to fit Miami Vice. I suspect the creators of Miami Vice simply realized his coincidental music and the attitude they designed for the tv show were a perfect FIT to EACH OTHER, just the way they are. Go to youtube and get a free listen to the tracks, to be sure if you feel it's worth the investment. Don't look at the questionable Japan-like imagery on the cover. This is Miami Vice without coming out and calling it so. Not all the tracks feel like what the Dade cops were doing in between episodes. Just 8 out of every 10 tracks feel like that! Exactly like that. These tracks are for my car audio unit.

Greetings fellow Miami Vice fans! Your expertise is needed) I am trying to create a Miami Vice inspired interior of a police station. It isn't going to be an exact replica, but I still want it to be authentic. So if you have any knowledge regarding dimensions of doors, windows, blinds, etc. or know exact model and maker of props used to create original set, I would greatly appreciate it. But you have to be as thorough as possible, there are many kinds of tanker desks for example, that vary in size greatly. Also, if you have good quality shots of the interior from the show, please do share, it will help a lot. Here's a link to the collection of shots that I gathered: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/ardqavfztvr3z9h/AADje68wclJwTTUtks16JwRIa?dl=0 And here's what I'm working on looks like so far: Thanks in advance!

Hey gang , While going through YouTube I happened upon this little short piece . It's the " Ocean Club " cue from Out Where The Buses Don't Run And The Milk Run . Surprisingly it isn't done by Rick Leon or our very own Dadrian Wilson but is still pretty good if not a little " light " in tonality .

Hey guys, I'm new to the forum, and a huge Miami Vice Fan. I'm a filmmaker and i just started a Miami Vice Inspired Film Project called ValRosa Beach. http://kck.st/1jH5GdD Check it out! At its core, Valrosa Beach is a classic hard-boiled detective film with a touch of science fiction. The film follows the journey of veteran detective Jack Gibson, as he tries to solve a series of murders related to an experimental substance known as "X5". Let's just say X5 does more to a human body than meets the eye, and it's not pretty. As Jack uncovers the epidemic that is plaguing the city he swore to protect, everything about his character is put into question. The film could be best described as a "neon-soaked" Noir, or better yet, John Carpenter meets Miami Vice.
