MAKING HYPERSPACE
PART 2 - THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK:

NOTE: A lot of this is "second verse, same as the first".  So some portions will be skipped or referred back to PART 1.  It also adds a brief 4th stage.

THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK
STAGE 1
TOLLS: AviSynth and VirtualDub

STAGE 1-A

AviSynth Script and VirtualDub filters are identical to STAGE 1-A of Star Wars

STAGE 1-B

This stage applies to the opening text scroll.  The AviSynth script is the same, but the VirtualDub filters for color and whatnot are different.

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=25, +C=0, *M=0, +M=0, *Y=1, +Y=0, *K=0, +K=0
- Hue/Saturation/Intensity: Apply To ALL, Hue=-2, Preserve Luma=Yes, Sat=1.05, Int=1.00
- Hue/Saturation/Intensity: Apply To YELLOW ONLY, Hue=0, Preserve Luma=Yes, Sat=1.00, Int=1.15
-Flaxen's VHS Filter: Chroma Shifting (Use no other functions) - Horizontal=1, Neg.=NO, Vertical=0, Shift Chroma I=YES, Shift Chroma Q=YES

STAGE 2

Practically the same as STAGE 2 of Star Wars.  The opening Lucasfilm and "A Long Time Ago..." texts used a still image for everything but their fades in and out and the text scroll comes from Stage 1-B.

STAGE 3

This time, Stage 3 is a three-stage process.

STAGES 3-A and C

Unfortunately, there is a slight change in the framing of GOUT that occurs during a midway portion of Empire.  It begins after Luke crashes on Dagobah and ends after an asteroid hits a Star Destroyer.  The script covers those portions before and after the shift.

fft3dfilter (sigma=2, bt=1, sharpen=0.0, plane=0)
fft3dfilter (sigma=3, bt=1, sharpen=0.0, plane=3)
fft3dfilter (sigma=3, bt=-1, sharpen=0.5, plane=0)

crop (14,92,-12,-84,align=true)
addborders (13,88,13,88)

STAGE 3-B

This script covers the area with the altered framing.

fft3dfilter (sigma=2, bt=1, sharpen=0.0, plane=0)
fft3dfilter (sigma=3, bt=1, sharpen=0.0, plane=3)
fft3dfilter (sigma=3, bt=-1, sharpen=0.5, plane=0)

crop (12,92,-14,-84,align=true)
addborders (13,88,13,88)

STAGE 4

Back to Vegas to piece these 3 videos together.

Finally, Empire was rendered into an H264 file using MeGUI and the AVCHD was created with TSMuxerGUI.

Details on Jedi tomorrow.
