I don't think any lawyer could be helpful in a situation like this. I don't even think a "grey area" could be found.

read the first 10 pages of this thread.

it's been covered.

who said i'm posting all the details here?

this is a tiny fraction of what's been going on.

all i see is some fragments of pictures,

screenshots, what looks like a camera and film,

a trailer, and vague descriptions. something anyone

with a few frames, a scanner, and some clips that

could easily be altered.

if that's proof of something, you must be easy

to convince. i wouldn't be, until i see some

finished footage or the whole thing.

I think a "don't feed the trolls" is prolly in order.

Dude is obsessed with LucasFilm taking legal action against this particular project.

Not going to happen, restorations have been going on for years and years and this site has been talking about them in explicit detail for nearly as long. Lucasfilm so obviously doesn't care, get over it.

It looms like a shadow over everything we've built here.

A shadow shaped like an enormous cock. Also, for the purposes of full disclosure I feel I should admit that I've contacted the FilmGuard people and I expect a lawsuit any day now.

much like harmys blue tinted shots..

we also have a few scenes, like the

vader conference shots that show some

changes in the coloring between grayish,

green, and blue.. i'll try to pull up some

examples..

i think we're going to make those look one

consistent shade also..

in the meantime, here's a little bit of the

cleanup on reel 4, the results look great,

and not too overly clean... we're only removing

the dirt, and scratches on the film, NOT what is

originally there.

the video has some weave and floaty camera

going on, that will be stabilized.. i think it's hard

to figure out what it might have looked like in the

theater, because it was probably somewhat shaky

there also.. but all the newer versions of the shot

look more stable. i prefer it that way.

you sure those pics aren't switched?  the second one looks worse, doesn't it?

Wow, what a difference. I love the idea that you guys are doing an actual physical restoration/clean-up of the film itself. BTW is the film actually this red or is it just due to the conditions under which the photo was taken?

You_Too said:

save you a lot of digital cleanup work. The movie is in good hands!

yup, thats the point.. but it will still need

cleanup afterwards. just less.
