That is interesting, I never would have noticed that.  One of the things I love about the screenshots you guys post is seeing details in the film that I've never noticed.  Not just strange artifacts like that but just how elaborate the sets were in scenes like that one.  It's amazing they built all of that for such a short shot.  I miss the days of real sets.

if the set looks real,

what difference does it make?

That is really neat.  Why didn't the environments in the prequels look that good?  Maybe it's because they weren't based on real world settings like the ones in that video were.  I did notice that the other worldly setting in the youtube video was the worst looking one.

The prequels would have been better off if Lucas released them in 1986, 1989, and 1992 :-(

A picture is worth a thousand words. Post 102 is worth more.

I’m late to the party, but I think this is the best song. Enjoy!

The tatooine sets looked pretty good, it was mostly things like the grasslands of naboo (cartoonishly green) and the interiors of Grevious's ship that bothered me the most.  And I think there's something to be said about having the actors able to interact with and react to an actual environment, but I don't mean to derail the thread. I just want to restate  how much I appreciate the screenshots because it reveals how much craft went into these films.

agreed..

 

but if you watch the originals, there's a lot of computer

graphics (death star), and computer controlled camera

movements, compositing etc..

 

for its time, there was a lot of work done using computers

just for those films.. i sure people that did special effects

like in king kong, or sinbad also though that using this

'new' stuff wasn't at all like the old school way of REALLY

making films...

 

every generation is going to complain, that we aren't

doing it the WAY IT SHOULD BE done back then.

 

star wars isn't immune to that thought either.

i think there will/possibly be digital touch-ups or replacements

to background sets and  scenes if star wars is redone for the 3d

conversions. you won't be able to tell the difference.

doing some comparisons with the blurays

and the hdtv versions...

 

selected scenes, some are comparable,

some are much better.. the rest is at least

on par with the detail...

 

i don't think we want to adjust the contrast

too much, which will cause artifacts.

 

also the grain levels are higher in ours,

so that gives it quite a different feel..

 

i'll try to post some screenshots ...

watched the full preview 0 version

again yesterday... i had to do some

tricky sound synching over the last

2 reels for some reason.. but it works.

 

i know some of the 'extra frames' are

because of the way the reels are

split, and putting the temporary sound in.

 

honestly, you could watch 90% of it raw

and be happy. it's that last 10% that's 

going to take up the rest of the time.

=================================

 

it's not a question of how anymore, 

it's just a matter of when.

 

star wars IS SAFE NOW.

 

i feel relieved.

As do I... (I'm the guy in the painting behind Mr Greene).

But seriously, you're doing us all a great service.  Can't wait!

I can't wait either. This is excellent news!

Great job, -1! You're the best.

well, you can be excited.

 

but hold off with the fireworks and praise,

until you actually see something, or have it.

 

it's better to remain skeptical until

proven otherwise. (x0, x9, v8, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc)

 

mark my words.

I would generally agree, but..., but..., well..., you're -1!

Neg, your cryptic clues are a cacophonous conundrum of capaciousness! ;-)

Cant wait to see this on my projector as I feel most blu ray's and dvd's dont look like film, too perfect if there's such a thing.

Of course the way to ensure nothing goes wrong in the period of time to get read for release would be to make sure a number of people have the thing.

I volunteer...for this immense burden and I shall take it quite seriously ;)

I am so excited for this project, and I thank you so much negative1 for the work you've done. Please forgive me if this was asked and answered already, but I was trying to weed through the original thread, and couldn't find it...

I understand that this is a 1080p project, but since you've gone through the tremendous effort you have, are you going to be able to have a full resolution version stored anywhere for posterity, until the technology to view and present 4K is available to the masses?
