What I have actually done:

  • took the DVD menu and cut it, from the start of 3D pan to the first frames of R2 peeking in the window
  • upscaled and crop to fill the 1920x820 window and to mantain aspect ratio
  • slow down 2x times the 3D pan
  • upscaled (zoomed out) the HD film part of R2 to let the DVD menu overlaid spatially perfect
  • color matched the HD film similar to the DVD menu
  • overlaid the four R2 frames of the DVD menu to the film, first 100% (only DVD menu), second 75%, third 50%, fourth 25% and the rest is HD movie
  • zoomed in the previous upscaled HD film to return to its original size

Of course, instead slow motion the 3D part at 100%, it could be made at 90%, but it will be choppier, I think.

On DVD menu, I just applied the upscale - no noise reduction or grain plate; it will look better with them applied. To merge better, I could always make the cut just during the thunder, so it has an “excuse” for temporary contrast/brightness difference.

Your cut has simply removed Yoda’s house shot; it can be made using just the film - apart the R2 zoom, made by me… I was forced to use it to merge the 3D pan to final R2 shot; I wonder if zoom in works good in this contest, if could work better in the film cut (leaving out the 3D pan), or use the 3D pan without R2 zoom…

Maybe someone else could chime in and give us their opinions!
