Is anyone feeling the second part (beginning at Obi's apparition) could be darker, as night is meant to be falling?
Like everyone else, overall I think Ady's colour correction is superb on this latest clip. However, I'd have to agree with you savmagoett... I hate to admit it, but as God-awful as that blue tint is on the 2004 version, I did like how it made the exterior scenes seem later in the day. It kind of added a stronger sense of urgency, as night really seemed to be falling quickly.

Yeah, I have to agree; brilliant as Adywan's fixed colors are otherwise, I think the exterior night scenes were more 'night'-seeming and had a bit more of a sense of danger and cold with the blue tint. The only issue is that some of it was so dark that you couldn't make out some details.
The differences in color from 2004 DVD to ESB:R are like night and day, just literally so in this case.
hi chaps, a bit off topic, but it seems apt. just thought you'd like this vid. fullscreen it in HD and enjoy the view (make snow speeder noises for bonus points)
I long for the day when this forum software will let mods move off-topic posts into new threads.

Well, I can't see that video above, but I know for a fact that Ady was going to insert Brittany Murphy into the Falcon/Tie asteroid field chase.

I know I'm as guilty as anyone (and Adywan does it too!) but I did make a "Random Thoughts" thread in the off-topic section that I invite all to post in instead of making a thread for something that doesn't really need one. Just sayin'.
Now, um...oh, I think Ady was going to show us a picture of the fur. I'm curious to see any undertones of different colors in it. I figure it's not going to be pure white, but have some black and brown in it, if only a bit under the surface. Right?

someone should put the snow speeder sounds in there. that would make it even better

Ok, here's some pics of the fur:
The top image is the full hide, the second shows just how curly the fur is and the bottom shows how it looks partially straightened.
It's great fur and it moves with a great fluid movement, which artificial fur just can't replicate. The colouring is perfect also.
Now, onto the colouring of the rescue clip. I did mention in the info about the clip that Youtube bleaches out the blue and seems to lighten the image also. The facebook version is better but still isn't the correct colouring or brightness. So i decided to post the clip again, this time in H264 format so the colouring and the brightness is will be exactly the same as it actually is. You will see that the image is a lot darker and contains a lot more blue than what can be seen on youtube (which is one of the reasons i'm fed up of having clips added to youtube because it screws with the image so much). It's a .ts format so it can be stuck onto a memory stick or external hard drive and played in a PS3 or some bluray players. Don't forget, unless your monitor is calibrated then it will look different when viewed on a PC. I also noticed when seeing the pics above of Chewie that i had included the wrong version of that shot because i had a layer disabled. That was just a test sot for the tracking purpose and included a static background
Something i forgot to mention a few weeks ago was that when i went to Memorabilia in November there was a seller with my Revisited ANH for sale as a 2 disc set. Now strangely enough the second disc was supposed to be the bonus disc and was called "Deleted Magic: Revisited" and my Adywan logo had been taken out from the cover and replaced with "Orange Cow Productions" instead. Gotta say i was pissed off and reported the guy for selling bootlegs but they didn't seem to bothered about doing anything and i didn't want to kick up a fuss because i had my daughter and her 10 year old sister with us. Now i wasn't going to bother mentioning this but then i noticed that there is now a new version of Deleted magic with "Revisited" added in the title. This got me wondering, especially with a certain ex-member of these forums being know for selling other peoples edits. Seems strange to me that it would now contain "revisited" in the title and i saw my edit being sold with this as the bonus disc. The only thing i can't figure out is why was my Adywan logo removed and replaced with "orange cow productions"? Or is that just the name of the dick-head group who are making these bootlegs to sell?
Thanks jacen for all you are doing to help me to be able to continue with this edit and thanks for letting me know about the shipping :). I didn't realise just how lost i would be without a HD monitor. It's a nightmare doing anything with this tiny screen, which my daughter is having back off me tomorrow :(
That figures. Any nerd worth his salt has gotta realize that it's available for free online, right?
I know I’ve made some very poor decisions recently.

Orange Cow Productions is ocp or ocpmovie, the ex-member you referred to who sold edits and also created Deleted Magic. He released Deleted Magic Revisited a little while back with updated deleted scenes.
At least he took your name off of it! If Lucas was going to crack down, he'd do it to OCP! I guess that's a bright side...

He seems to be claiming credit for the fan animated versions of the lost Doctor Who episodes AKA Whosprites and has had at least one article in The Guardian written about them with himself as the named coordinator.
I don't know enough about those very worthy projects to know if he really is the mastermind behind them but if he is behind all this he is putting so much hard work by fans of science fiction icons in jeopardy.
Not only does he run the risk of bringing the wrath of Lucasfilm down on fan projects like these but if he pulls the same stunt with the Doctor Who projects the BBC as well.

I meant to say "track". And actually i had the "test track" enabled which included the tracking shot. As was seen on the progress shot i posted a while ago from Sony Vegas i have many tracks which each include various stages of the edit
I sure was surprised when version 2.0 of Deleted Magic was released with the "Revisited" title. Surely they could have thought of something else! It just looks like they're piggybacking on your success. And now look what has happened. I sincerely hope OCP itself hasn't done this. It's probably just some clueless moron.
The fur looks nice. Just keep the grape juice away from it. :)
Don't forget, unless your monitor is calibrated then it will look different when viewed on a PC.
Care to elaborate on that?

Computer monitors are usually calibrated to make text readable, while TVs are calibrated for video. White balances can be off, colors more dull, etc.

Get a better computer monitor. :D And calibrate it so it looks right.
I'm sorry I have not said anything much lately, but what's there to add:
Fur=OMG! I did't expect it to look that good!
Luke Clip=OMG
Insert Ric olie jokes and vaderios mockups and here we are! See I wasn't missed. Jk
I really can't wait to see how the wampa turns out, and sorry for everything that has happened to you, and I happy for all the good things(like the moniter) Vaderios, your mockups make me pee rainbows, I liked that train video, looks like it has good elements for hoth!
There, I'm caught up. Did I miss anything?
The person your searching for simply does not exist
I updated my comparisons with shots from the HD version and the GOUT.

Fur looks great. When the Wampa shots are done, use it as a throw blanket.

Dude, the guy is making profit off of YOUR creation, the one YOU envisioned, bought things for, etc., and he even had the audacity to remove your NAME from it.
No matter who was with you, if I was in that position, I would've said something for sure! Imagine how shocked he'd be to have the actual Adywan himself approach him.
Is there a way to make the snow on Luke's back more consistant? I know that would be difficult, but I wonder if elements of other shots could be combined somehow? It's kinda jarring when in one shot he has a lot of snow on him and another he has little.
