One last post before I call it a day -

I'm not sure if this is going to work right, but I've uploaded something special for you all. It's the work I've done on the deleted windmill sequence that is exclusive to the SciFi version. There is no audio, just video. Also - it's a vob file (89.7mb), so you'll need to play it in something that can play dvds.

Click Here It'll take you to a website where you can download the file.

As you'll notice -

The framing isn't the full 1.78:1 aspect ratio. The video is anamorphic, but the framing is something more like 1.55:1. I did this to reduce the cropping I would have to perform on the full frame image. An added benefit is that the video is slightly sharper than it would be if I had cropped it further and resized it to fill up the entire frame.

In one shot - the image is the full 1.78:1 aspect ratio. I was able to add the edges from workprint and have the whole image look pretty decent. I've tried doing this with other shots but the results are usually less the satisfactory so I didn't include them.

In order to remove the SciFi logo from the video, I've had to employ some visual trickery. You'll notice a small blur on the bottom right hand corner of the video, but hopefully you will not find it distracting.

Anyways - I'm looking forward to your thoughts and opinions. The video should be up for 7 days.
