And some recomposited shots that were only done in 2004, like the imperial fleet introduction.
Hello Harmy, I don’t know if it’s too late to ask this, but if you end up doing a ROTJ 3.2, and when you have to do ANH AND ESB 3.0, will you do DNR to the 4K Blu-Ray image to carefully eliminate the static grain from these masters like Adywan and That guy with no name are doing in their projects, and then add non-static fine grain back to it to make the image less dirty? Or are you just going to add grain on top of the image without cleaning the static grain first?
If someone did that and released a regrained version, I’d be super happy to use it as a source but I really can’t see myself doing that for three entire movies myself, it’s just too time consuming.
I think Adywan is going to release his ROTJ color correction before Revisited, which has the grain corrected, if you ever make a ROTJ 3.2 you could use this version and then add your colors. If you want to do it when it comes out of course. By the way, TGWNN is working on a 2020 4K Blu-Ray remaster of ANH that also fixes this issue and adds details from the 2011 Blu-Ray that were erased by the 4K DNR. Although this project will take a long time as he is working on another project of 4K77.
Is there somewhere that’s a “worst offenders list” for specific shots, etc that suffer from the worst DNR, frozen grain and that sort of issue?
I know that with despecialization, a huge amount of the work is simply knowing and tracking what needs to be changed. If there were a list, at least that might be a more manageable load for people to attack.
i.e. if Harmy knew “for these six shots, use the 2011 BD or another source instead of the UHD”, then that’d be pretty helpful.
