Wow…now I can’t unsee this. Good catch. Super stoked for your v.2 release!
Here’s the entire Throne room scene, I’ve decided to completely replace this sequence with the 19SE, as it has way more shadow and highlight details aswell as a hell of a lot more dynamic range:
2011 BD
DevEd V.2
2011 BD
DevEd V.2
It was still a pain to fix the frozen grain and match the color to the Adywan regrade, though…
Besides that, the changes are: Adjusted forest matte, Adjusted throne room matte, Artoo blinks red and blue, and the wipe has been completely redone, I wasn’t happy with both the theatrical and the SE freeze frame timing, the Theatrical just stops while chewie is still turning his head, and in the SE it stops while lea is moving her arms. So I’ve removed her arms from moving, and it looks much smoother. You can also see a sneak peek of the redone credits…

Quick new shot, fixed the problem of Han shooting too early and too high to hit the target…

I’m finally finished with this shot…
Both the SE and the print source for this shot are highly degraded. I’ve isolated most, if not all, the foreground elements from a cleaned-up shot of the 2011 BD, then registered and laid everything on top of the 4K77 background. This was very difficult as the rotoscoping in the SE is horrendous, so a lot of lost information had to be restored from other sources. Not to mention the tedious cleanup to the 4K77 source itself… I still have to repaint the lasers and add missing muzzle flashes, but for the most part, this shot is finally restored and up to standard to fit in with the surrounding shots, finally…

Glad this change is getting the love it needs to be cleaned up. Ady is also restoring it for ANH:R HD.

What was first just a dream has become a frightening reality…

I wonder how he’ll approach it…
