Btw, can someone direct me to the post that details how to create histograms? I'd like to try something different. I want to create a histogram of the original 'The Matrix' DVD and use that to change the color on the regraded transfer from the boxset. Not to distribute or anything. Just to get a feel for working with these things. I figure this is the simplest one for me to attempt at the moment.
I imagine another interesting, albeit ambitious, thing to try would be to remove the color casts from lord of the rings using a number of bits and pieces around the place.

2) input "writehistogram("matrx_orig.txt", 100)"
3) input "writepolarhistogram("matrixpolar_orig.txt", 100)"
4) save, play in mediaplayer or whatever and sit and wait a few minutes, once the video actually starts that means it's done, and in the same folder as your avisynth file you should have two txt files of the colors for the Matrix that you want. The value 100 means you're taking every 100th frame as a sample for your pallet.
5) do the same thing for the footage you want to regrade, but rename "writehistogram("matrix_crumby.txt", 100)" and writepolarhistogram("matrixpolar_crumby.txt", 100)
6) Then, probably in a new avisynth file (a copy of the footage you want to change without the "writehistogram/polarhistogram" functions in it), you toss in these values.
polarcolourlike("matrixpolar_crumby.txt", "matrixpolar_orig.txt")
colourlike("matrix_crumby.txt", "matrix_orig.txt")
Well I guess you already knew the sixth step, ah just making sure. Oh yeah, then re-add the cropped letterboxing with addborders(0, someting, 0, something). I think the cropping then re-adding keeps any added brightness from interfering with the letterboxing. Anyway, this is it in it's most simplest form.

Quick question. The Emperor scene. Gout or digital broadcast of the '97 SE?
Nah it's all from the GOUT, which is fine for darker scenes like the Emperor scene, but doesn't work well for Hoth scenes, lots of noise. What kind of broadcast is this? Where can I get it?
I didn't think to adjust the hue of these shots to get Vader's saber back to red. I was playing with the red levels of the image for so long, lol. I'm just worried about what's happening to Luke's saber in some shots, ah well at least it's still blue.
Whoo! Star Wars: Classic Edition today at 3:00! If I had time this morning I'd post the trailers I made for the hullabaloo before. Maybe tonight. God, so many people are going to show up, I'll tell you all how it went.

I don't know a whole deal about it. I know OCP used it for his CE. It's a german broadcast of the 97 SE as far as I can remember, I'll seen the dvd's poster here, but i don't have them. That's all I know.
And yes do tell us how the screening went and the response it gets. Andy K has a good point. I'd be hilarious if Lucas' stormtrooper like goons show up and attempt to shut the screening down..... well not too funny for you.
Any way I hope it goes well.

Anyways, the showing went alright, not as well as we had hoped, but not bad. This is probably because most of the Seniors/Juniors have sports after school. I've talked to many of them and they said that they would have liked to go, but had to go to practice. So I'm thinking we might to a back-to-back showing for ESB.

I'd love to see the new color in action.

Yeah a lot of people I talked to too. Jocks you know...go figure. I just don't know if I can sit through Empire twice in a row.
Updates:
-Isolated score is synced up.
-Empire is being shown next week instead of this week, and Jedi two weeks later, giving me three weeks to work on Jedi.

Quick question, did you restore the old Boba Fett voice and make other OCP-like changes...or are you just worried about color-correction for now?

I hope the next showing goes well!
How did you build your isolated score?

This sounds like the BEST trilogy project yet on these boards. Hoping you do ANH as well!
P.S. If you want to make torrents of these, please make them dual layered.
I never had the nerve to make the final cut.

I'd do both SL and DL torrents if you do torrents of these.

Though the color correction has garnered the most attention, this is definitely a "preservation/fanedit" trying to recreate the theatrical experience of ESB. I switched out the center channel of Morrison's voice with audio from the GOUT.

Like most things in this project, it's stolen.
I snagged the first laserdisc transfer I ever downloaded, my old ISOMIX trilogy and ripped the isoscore from there, and just adjusted it on my timeline to make sure it synced up the entire film. It only goes out of sync in the last optical wipe...I don't know why, it's fine up until then.In general about the matte fixes, I left them alone cause they didn't bother me too bad. Of course when the OUT is released by Lucasfilm properly they better be there, but for now I didn't feel like losing quality over it. The rancor I'll just leave alone too. There would be so many shots to change, for instance pretty much any cockpit shot on Hoth, due to the transparency issue. The only time I switched out a matte fix change was when the digital compositing altered the sync of ships slightly:
Unfortunately the "complete" list of changes on the Star Wars website, though the most complete of all change lists, isn't entirely complete. They leave out a couple redundancies, for instance, the third or forth time R2s dome is fixed from black to blue. I think I got them all, but we'll see.
I need one more encode for everything. I missed 3PO's added line in the freezing chamber. Plus my editing program is dropping in an extra frame where it shouldn't every now and then, all easily fixable. This weekend I think I can upload it to Demonoid, then start jumping onto Jedi. Thanks for the support, it's just about done.
