Harmy's THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK Despecialized Edition HD - V2.0 - MKV & AVCHD (Released) — Page 4

Harmy that was perfect.

My first thought was that it was too blue, but after looking at the '04 version again, I hardly think so, as it's nowhere near that extreme, and being completely white is not right either.  Seems like it's in the right vicinity colour-wise.

You might want to consider bringing the white level down for this scene and some of the subsequent shots of Luke lost in the snow.  With the blue levels in the '04 being out of control, the over-brightness of the image isn't obvious; but once the colours get back where they should be, it's easier to see (even more so in adywan's version since he reduced the blue more than you did).  Of course we all know the GOUT is hardly an ideal reference, but the snow scenes aren't nearly so bright in that.  And Han does say it's getting dark out there, after all.  ;)

So if you'd like to help me out and be a tester, please say so here (please don't PM me, my mailbox keeps getting full :-)  )

Show-off.

I just encoded a workprint of Empire. It is a 3GB mkv and it is a finished cut (short of one shot which I forgot to replace before encoding) with the whole film colour corrected and it has the colour boosted GOUT as PiP in the upper left corner for reference. I'd like the testers to check the following:

A) Any shots I may have overlooked for despecialization (I'm looking at you 005 ;-) ).

B) Sync with the GOUT.

C) Colours (both in relation to the GOUT and in terms of colour consistency between shots).

 

So if you'd like to help me out and be a tester, please say so here (please don't PM me, my mailbox keeps getting full :-)  )

I already noticed some stuff and fixed it, namely: The Wampa cave scene being too purple and having forgotten to remove the last window in the Cloud City, so if you notice something else, please let me know. I'm now uploading it, so I should be able to send links in the evening.

 This sounds amazing.

Harmy, I'd be interested in testing this.

I wouldn't mind looking it over, but I am up to my eyeballs with this darn Blu project LOL.

I'd gladly test this.

DAMN I hate MU, I should of had this soon after you sent the PM LOL, I keep getting file unavailable, timeouts, etc.(and I created an account) hopefully I will have it by tomorrow, but in the meantime, could I trouble you Harmy to look at my latest sample please, you are doing HD files also and more feedback the better.

Thanks, sorry for asking in your thread LOL.

I keep getting file unavailable and timeouts as well.

Good then it isn't just me then, I F'n hate MU.

I am using jdownloader and all is not fine LOL, like I said, maybe by tomorrow sometime I will have this, if it was anything else I would cancel and delete, not patient enough for these speeds at all.

I'm using Jdownloader as well. Probably just wait till tomorrow like dark jedi said. I'm sure it'll be fine by then.

Thanks for the patience DJ. It's weird, MU usually works the best for me.

I took a look at your new sample and to me it looks exactly the same as the last one (i.e. awesome) and I can't wait for it's release and definitely will be waiting for that to use for my projects, not the V3 DVD)

I actually stopped my download now, it is doing nothing, I will try re starting later.

and Thanks for checking it out, I am putting the final touches on the subs now, then time to render this B**CH.

I was finally able to download all the files so I'll review it shortly. I'm glad to hear you'll be using dark jedi's gout blu versions. I'm especially looking forward to seeing the mos eisley entrance in ANH.
