Actually, I didn’t use this datamoshing method at all. In fact, I had never heard of it. My method is more based on modeling. Indeed, it can probably give better results than yours, but it takes a lot longer than your method because I have not managed to automate the whole process. So my method can be useful only for short scenes (like the missing ones in TPM), but I guess that your method is more “universal” since it can be used for longer scenes, even if the final result is maybe a little less good.
This is really only good for a handful of frames too, I suspect it will be useful for replacing missing single frames from 35mm prints, hdtv streams ect. Its something I’ve had in my mind for a long time, surprised to see it actually worked to an extent.
And in an unrelated note, I’ve started working on a new project that may be of use for star wars restoration. Imagine, if you will, being able to create whatever version of star wars you want, all with a simple formula.
Is it something similar to this idea posted a few hours ago: https://originaltrilogy.com/topic/Fan-Editor-Script-File-Universal-Project-File/id/61376 ?
Oh Goddamn it. I swear this has been invading my mind for the last two nights now, keeping me awake. Yeah similar but like most things, different approaches.
