STAR WARS
STAGE 1
TOOLS: AviSynth and VirtualDub
STAGE 1-A
Here is the AviSynth script for this first rendering. Please note that I am leaving out the IVTC portion of the script. I usually prefer to do it manually, instead of using the "Film" function on DGIndex. It also leaves out the SOURCE portion of the script.

You will notice a couple sections toward the end which were borrowed from the G-Force scripts.
VirtualDub Filters:
- Levels: 10, 1.100, 255, 0, 255, Operate in Luma instead of RGB=Yes
- Red/Green/Blue/Sat/Contrast: R=90, G=95, B=100, Sat=105, Cont=100
- CMYK Film Color: *C=0, +C=0, *M=5, +M=0, *Y=5, +Y=0, *K=0, +K=0
- Hue/Saturation/Intensity: Apply To ALL, Hue=2, Preserve Luma=Yes, Sat=1.05, Int=1.00
You'll probably notice the colors for the opening text aren't very good. And, the colors for the first shot of the space battle are off, thanks in large part to the multiple sources Lucasfilm used. These two things are color-adjusted with different VirtualDub settings...bringing us to:
STAGE 1-B
