Wait...what?...already?...WOW!  Well done everyone who donated this time around.

The 'cloud' lighting looks great throughout, and the Bespin planet's 'lens flare' shot is majestic-looking.  The re-colouration of various elements is marvellous overall, and the replacement background of the final Vader shot is inspired.

Another awesome preview clip as usual! :)

Things to look for:

-Clouds (or the City?) going past as Lando closes the top hatch.
-The all-new shot of the sun setting behind Bespin (which was shown to be the sun rising in the SE shots which are thankfully gone).
-The new Vader background complete with a shot of the outside of the Star Destroyer through the window behind him.

The City's undersection.  And it's another terrific enhancement indeed.  Really gives the impression of speed as the Falcon accelerates away from Luke's rescue.

Donations have been overwhelming. Check out the latest clip from Adywan here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=RSu3qz5SmPU

 

The somewhat long intro is required so that YouTube bots don't immediately block it due to copyrights. The clip itself starts at 0:20. Enjoy!

  Love the new clip never notice all those mistakes. Very nice. I think this has been said before, they need to have you at ILM or LF.

 

One day we will have properly restored versions of the Original Unaltered Trilogy (OUT); or 1977, 1980, 1983 Theatrical released versions (Like 4K77,4K80 and 4K83); including Prequels. So that future generations can enjoy these historic films that changed cinema forever.

Can I still donate this weekend please?

I was hoping to donate as well... Very excited that donations were met that quickly, but hoping there might be another opportunity. Maybe we can start donating to get Ady a top of the line PC so ROTJ:R and ANH:R:HD can be 1080p :)

3: L8wrtr
4/5: Adywan

Although it would be nice to have 1080p, Ady has already said that all revisited movies will be 720p because of several reasons:

1. Its easier and faster to download BD-25 than BD-50.

2. The loss of quality from 1080p to 720p isn't that much so it's not worth it.

3. The file size are to big.

4. He is using GOUT elements that don't upconvert well to 1080p

And I'm sure there are more. I also think 1080p would've been cool but it's not that much of a difference really.

Hey all. Ok, so heres a chance for all those who still wish to help out, to do so:

My 3rd Unit shoot is rapidly coming up, and I'm still trying to save up the cash to rent all the equipment I'll need. To that end I've put a large portion of my old SW collection up for sale on ebay. Here's the link:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=140729048316#ht_1621wt_1396

100% of the money raised through this auction will go towards ESB:R filming. So not only do you help out a good cause, you get some sweet SW swag as well. Check it out, and Good Luck to anyone who bids!

Cheers!

I know they won't be in 1080p, I was mostly joking (I am holding out for the PT to be in 1080p. Considering how fast technology is moving forward, I wouldn't be surprised if internet speeds and burnable media allowed for it by the time Ady finishes them.)

Muddy, nice personal sacrifice for the project! I will say though, simple donations are a nice option because I can easily send $20 your way, but it's hard to bid on an ebay lot :(

To my original point about purchasing a new Top-of-the-Line PC for Ady, I think that is a reasonable donation goal that could stay open for quite a while. We'd probably have the money raised by the time Ady is ready for RotJ:R, and considering the potential speed increases with the latest CPUs and GPUs, the project would go that much faster. He'd be able to implement his ideas in real-time, virtually unhindered by potential loading and rendering.

 If you're interested in donating to the project send me a PM and I'll give you my paypal address for ESB:R donations.

@muddyknees,

I had been setting up a paypal account to donate to Ady's side ESB:R, but as that's already achieved it's target, I can send my donation your way if you want? Nothing huge as I'm only a charity worker, but can send it none the less.

Just in case anyone is wondering, I can confirm that muddyknees2000 is not trying to scam you and could use some money to help out with ESBR.

RogueLeader, muddyknees, & Adywan are the only people who would need any donations at this point. Don't fall for imitators!

muddyknees2000, I've a rough idea about what Ming's been up to with his 2nd Unit shoot, but I must have missed the info. about what you're hoping to do for this.  Can you elaborate a little or not?

brash_stryker, that brought a smile as some of those 'fonejacker' prank calls were hilarious! :)

I seem to remember reading somewhere (almost certain I didn't dream it) that for the PT Ady will be zooming a lot of effects shots to tighten the focus. Obviously, the further you zoom into a shot the lower the reolution becomes. Given that the maximum resolution that currently exists for any Star Wars film is 1080p I assumed the 720p was a way to maintain high definition and allow for some room to zoom too.
Also true.

Thanks everyone for taking the time to answer my questions/responding to my speculations and thoughts. It's a lot easier than wading through over a thousand pages.

I'm excited to be a part of the RotJ:R thread from the beginning, so I can also be a completely informed individual :)
