Ahh ya, that was my fault. So lets get this clear anyone who sends me a blank blu-ray I will copy onto this project. But donations are welcome :]
I'm going to need around $200, most I probably will front up by myself. Thats just for the hardware and software.
The labor that will go into it though is going to be quite a bit, to get it 3D will be the most.
The quality is actually very crisp when I watched it again last night all the way through. As well when going to 1080i it will not exactly stretch it, but I'll going through making things sharper and perfect for the HDTV. The only true challenge is getting a perfect up scaled 16:9. Which of course wont be terribly hard, but enough to making sure it looks nice.
I'll be working with top notch programs a.k.a Final Cut Studio Pro 7 and Toast 10.
I guess the true point is preserving this, its very unedited, a lot of the light sabers if you slow down the frames and wait for the right timing you still see the actual sticks they used. Its the true Star Wars.
Other thoughts?
