Been skipping around this while I can, I hadn't seen the workprint or anything. Anyway, this work is incredible. Even KNOWING 100% what was despecialized, I couldn't really tell if I didn't overthink about it. ;-)
Show it to anyone who has never seen RotJ and they will NOT be able to tell that it isn't the original. Save for the frame rate problem wiping from Jabba's Palace to the Dune Sea, its perfect so far!
I totally agree. I haven't watched it all but what I've seen is great.
I was a bit worried about the 'extra smoke' to hide the wipe seeing it on a big screen as opposed watching it on youtube on a small screen and by the time I noticed it was that sequence the fix had already come and gone and I hadn't even noticed it, so no complaints there.
As noted the eyebrows stood out but that was when I staring directly at them, when I just watched the scene for was it was completely fine.
The thing that really impressed me was the beak removal. For most shots staring directly at the sarlaac I could never tell there was a beak there. Bravo.
As for the frame rate problem noted above I know Harmy has explained this but can anyone remind me what that was. Something to do with the SE shot being shorter than the OT?
