I know it seems a bit late to be asking this, but what is our source so he knows what colors to match? I believe we should go with Harmy's Despecialized Edition as he offered. Obviously we may need to pull bits from other sources, but that should be our primary source and efforts should be made to match.
Is this right, guys? Should we used the Despecialized Edition, or is there another preferable version for a base? Hyperspace Edition? Dark_Jedi's V3? 2004 SE? 2011 BD?
I would say 2011 BD. There are a lot of SE additions that would be useful. We don't want to work from scratch here in terms of updating special effects.
True, but Harmy is upscaling his, isn't he? But I don't know if his V1 is BD quality or not, and he's only just starting to finish up on ANH V2. Also, since some of our material may be DVD quality, do we really want to aim for BD quality, or would we rather downsize to match?
I'm referring to actual SE additions, not the quality. Harmy removed useful things like the added space ships and he re-eyebrowed Anakin.
I guess this is something that would need to be voted on. For example; I like the new palace door, CG Sy Sootles, Han's unfreezing, the bantha herd, blinking Ewoks, improved R2 malfunction, and the celebrations. But many people might not like these. So maybe, depending on the general opinion, we could have a hybrid of sorts. With a color correction of course.
Bottom line: Either 2011 BD, Despecialized, or both.
Ahhh...I see, and I definitely agree that there are many good things about the SE that I want to have remain. Probably a hybrid is best. I honestly don't want to put it up for a vote because...well, because then we'll have to vote on every little SE change to keep or discard. I think we should use Harmy's colors whenever possible, BD for SE changes we want to keep, and hopefully emanswfan can make the deleted scenes match, while TMBTM can do the same for the colorized B/W clips. If not, the difference may not be that noticeable for at least the short bits, but we may then have to downgrade. But just looking for a quick consensus, can we go with Despecialized for colors (TMBTM was asking me)? Thanks.
And yes, I've always valued Cobb's input. :)
