Why not add a little grain to the prequels instead?

Personally I love grain in movies. It's looks like film to me. And it's there to a more or less degree cause the director or the cinematographer wanted it

^^ Wow the thought of SW finally on bluray one day excites me - but the thought of it simply being the same versions only in higher Q sucks.

I don't have faith in GL to give the movies the proper care and treatment that Adywan has been doing.

 

Anyway back on topic............lol......

what exactly are you waiting for?

adywan has already released a 1080p color corrected version(with a few fixes) of

'star wars', and 'the empire strikes back' for free...

there's a whole thread about those versions..

there is NO NEWS about any of the movies being released in hi-def or blu-ray...

Speaking of Star Wars on blu-ray, my guess is that there will be lots of new edits and tweaks. But this time it would be done properly. George and Lucasfilm aren't stupid. With so many good fan edits it would be rather embarrasing not to fix the movies, again. color corection, lightsabers, sound, fx shots etc

Well hopefully blu-ray will be the standard format in 5 years. My point is that it might not be that interesting watching DVDs by that time.

Ady:

Why not doin empire from the HD broadcast? Was is to hard editing those?

Well by the time that you are workning with jedi or TPM the movies will be out on blu-ray. Just sayin

It will be Ep. 4 and AOTC

 

And then Empire, and Revenge, with a few elements from AOTC that I'll be eliminating for the Ep. 4 edit.

 

Then, ROTJ, ROTS, and elements from TPM.

 

I have it all pretty well mapped out.

 

I'm also color grading all prequel material to give them a somewhat aged look. I always felt like the prequels felt more advanced; so I wanted there to be a distinction.

Sounds most excellent

Outline:

Prologue

STAR WARS

Opening from AOTC where Senator Amidala is attacked

Opening crawl

Tantive IV take over, Leia and R2 walk away from each other as the droids leave through the escape pod and Leia is captured. We can assume the other rebels are dead.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I just watch the old reborn trailers and they are brilliant. I really like the dark feeling of everything, the dark colors and turned down brightness, dark music etc. The new and old scenes blends togehter perfectly.

In my opinion not using the opening crawl and Williams upblown(when it is upblown and joyful) symphony score benefits the movies alot. A long time a in galaxy far, far away gives just the right feeling. The title with be a good thing to have but without the crawl and Williams music

I'm surprised that no one has done anything like this(mixing original with prequel) before. It's the perfect way for a more darker and epic story.

Also, are you not cutting any scenes out of the original? You're just adding prequel scenes for a much longer movie? Imho but I think it would be a lot better if some parts of the old story is cut out.

Well, this was my thoughts for now. Good luck with the project!

Well the rendering is done and it looks pretty good. i've decided to keep the framerate at 23.976 instead of 24fps because some older TVs can't handle 24kz so this one should be more compatible. So here is the specs for ESB AVCHD:

 

 What is the difference? And do you even see it?

And the commentary tracks, is it the SE or the old one?

I really like the -93 mix. That's the one I'm used too and the first one I played in surround. When watching the movie with d pro-logicII, I think it still kicks many 5.1DD soundtracks. So my question is this:

Did they remix the 2.0 pcm track for the 97 SE or did they just create a 5.1 mix?

It was a smart trick by George of course. People have big screens now and a non anamorphic master intended for LD 13 years ago dont look good. Like going back to VHS again.

Oh well, those bonusdiscs were intended for the fans anyway

Can I get an invite to myspleen?

This is just ridiculous and way over line.

So is it Ian's voice in the new emperor scene? The old emperor never bothered me but the old voice is pretty lame

No. It's the original Clive Reville voice becuase these versions are the pre-2004 theatrical SE versions

 

 

I knew that, my bad. Mixed it up with the revisted version

So is it Ian's voice in the new emperor scene? The old emperor never bothered me but the old voice is pretty lame

heres a cover i made

 Excellent cover. Would be nice to have one in the same style for Raiders

I'm very sorry to hear that adywan. Take care.

So I'm just curious. Haven't anyone ripped the LD PCM track and put it together with the official gout DVDs? That should be the best way to go in terms of both sound and image quallity, eh?

Superb. Thanks alot!

Any artwork?
