hey harmy, awesome work.  do you have a possible release date?  no hurry though.

if you are still taking color issues i noticed that when vader is talking to the guy and he says "there's no one on board sir, according to the log the crew abandoned ship right after take off" that his skin is a little too white.

Lol, stinky must really like his white ppl white ;-)

as always can't wait for this amazing release harmy.

hey harmy,

One thing i noticed on the work print.  when han and luke are taking chewy to the prison cell and they are waiting for the elevator the lights in the matte painting are pulsating in the gout but not in the 2004 hd version.  have you thought about adding the pulsating.  i'd imagine it would be a nice little touch and probably not that hard to do...well, for you that is ;-)

Yeah, again, I used Ady's AVCHD for those Falcon shots and he did make it bluer than in GOUT but I think I'm just gonna leave it that way, because it looks good and it definitely beats the 04 green sabre.

 The saber looks whiter in this shot

holy shit that shot does have a red sky...i never noticed that.  odd considering the sky is purple/blue in the same exact sequence.

that fix for the disappearing ship was quick.  you can fix it faster than we can request them.

also if you are still taking suggestions on the colors.  i noticed that lukes saber after alderan blows looks a little too blue.  in the gout it looks like it's more whitish blue.  it also looks very blue during the fight with obi wan and vader.

the color when obiwan first shows luke anakins lightsaber in his hut is perfect though

The slowed-down one definitely looked...strange to me. I could feel the slowness.

 I agree.  pluse the music matched the delayed version better

Hey harmy,

for those gout shots have you considered running them through a sharpening filter?  It might make them look more HD.

hey harmy,

checking this out and so far it looks great.  I'm sure if you release a DVD5 version the switches to the gout won't be as noticable.  I also really liked how you edited jabba out.  Looks like I can finally get rid of those pesky 2004 discs.  Hooray!

sign me up for the work print testing Harmy

Can hardly wait for the awesomeness ;-D

Hey Harmy,

Just wondering if that THX WOW reel had anything useful.

You are amazing Harmy.  This will be the version of Star Wars people remember. 

The han retreat from the storm troopers on the death star looks flawless.  how did you do it?  Did you rotoscope around the troopers?

Also how did you get so good at video editing?  are you self taught?

hey harmy,

it's your project but might i suggest not deleting the source files when you're done.  You could always go back and make things that weren't quite perfect better.  And I don't think fans would hold it against you if you released multiple versions of increasing quality.  Who knows what could be released by other preservationists in the future that could make your despecialized edition even more awesome. 

awesome...is that gforced gout?

I was wondering the source for you hd footage is adywans color corrected 1080p right?  I read that you are going to do your own color correcting.  What about adywans colors didn't you like?

hey harmy,

what percent complete would you say you are?  Sorry...i'm just eager ;-)

hey harmy,

How did you handle the part where han chases those storm troopers in the death star and is forced to retreat when he comes around the corner?  Will you be using gout?

lookin good harmy.  I didn't do a shot by shot comparison with the GOUT but off the top of my head I noticed the transition that cuts out the jabba scene was a little abrupt.  I realize george made that hard to work around.  Is that how you are going to release it?

Great job, can't wait for the release.

really looking forward to this Harmy.  From the looks of it this will be my favorite version of ANH.  Just out of curiousity have you fixed the part where the storm troopers walk up to the door where c3po and r2d2 are hiding behind on tatooine?  And by fixed i mean removed that annoying hovering cgi robot.

hey harmy,

could i get a link to the dvd5?

wow...you corrected that cell block.  now that is hardcore.  i didn't even notice that change in the special editions.  well done.

ok myspleen is working now.  could someone upload these to rapidshare?  Torrents don't seem to work on my internet connection

may sound silly but the whole page is upside down and hard to navigate.  i'm sure it's something simple.

anyone have a source for these other than myspleen?  it's giving me trouble
