I have some ideas but I'm not sure what I'll be able to get done in time, so I'd rather not say.

Fans: This film is getting worse all the time!

Speaking of special features I found some really cool high resolution behind the scenes photographs someone posted onto 4chan

But if Harmy were to put something from 4chan on his disc, we'd all get infected.

I don't get it. What's that big teddy bear doing hanging out with the Jawas?

Wow! That looks great! the colors look fantastic, and all of the detail now seen in the two figures to the left of the dewback! Great work!

The detail brought out in not only the background, but the passing people is pretty good. The sky is also much improved.

My MPC cannot render the file.  I'll try again after the timer expires.

Star Wars is the only case in modern film history where the preservation of the original award-winning version has been left up to the fans.  That fact alone proves that Lucas is insane.

idk what he's talking about.

 

Great job, Harmy. It looks a lot better.

 

btw, I want to apologize if it seems I'm picking at your work in Ady's ESB:R thread. For the record, your versions of these movies are the definitive versions of the OOT. I only pointed out to him something you might have overlooked in your 1.0 versions (and certainly Lucasfilm did for the Blurays).

I really love what you're doing. Keep it up!

It's like it's quite possible that Picasso would have loved to use Photoshop for some of his paintings if it was available back then, but if you take a picture from Picasso and recreate it in Photoshop, it's not going to be the same picture and it can hardly be used to demonstrate Picasso's brush techniques.

Very nice, I like how the passers-by have actual hair now! ;)

So, really? No one noticed that the Dewback is now actually HD and almost no GOUT is used (except a tiny bit on 3P0 where they cropped him off a lot in the SE rotowork)?

My initial response was "WOW, this is exactly how I remember it!" though I think that was more in response to the color shift.

I def noticed that the dewback and saddle to the left looked way better, but it's hard to know how much is color/contrast settings and how much is better original source. Also the sky is a better blue with better contrast with the antenna in background. Overall a great upgrade to the scene.

Ooh. Yes, I notice now. Fantastic.

 

My computer monitor is small enough (and given that I had the video fullscreened) that I hadn't seen that level of detail at first. Nice job.

Tiny laptop display brigade strikes again, sorry.  I'm sure I'll notice when I watch it on a TV.

I noticed the sky. Is it a complete re-creation ?

Nice work Harmy!  This just keeps getting better and better.  Looks like 2.1 will have significant improvements over 2.0.

I had to take a screen capture and toggle between them to really appreciate the difference.  Looks like everything to the left of the image is entirely different--clearer, more detail in the shadows, and all-around better colour.

Yeah, it's redone from scratch using this as the main source for the original.

Brilliant.  Have you been able to use anything from -1's project?

So, will most of the Mos Eisley fixes be from -1 rather than GOUT now?

Harmy's avatar
RE: Harmy's STAR WARS Despecialized Edition HD !!!REMASTERED is now released!!!

Yep. Most of the -1 shots are used just for painting out SE stuff but the overall quality of the scene will be increased quite a bit.
