Star Wars OT & 1997 Special Edition - Various Projects Info (Released) — Page 137

Yeah, that scene has always looked dirty/grainy, so I think that's why the DVNR reacted and applied such heavy smearing.

Ok, a little update! DJ put some parts together today as a preview and uploaded it on myspleen.

Though he might remove it or update it later because it came out with a slight chroma shift again since this time it involved more render processes before encoding.

We're currently troubleshooting, but if you grab the preview it will still give you a good idea on the final look of our project.

I'm supposed to be staying away from this site, but I've always been excited about this project.  Happy to see you're in the home stretch :)

Watched the preview. Obviously, this is gonna be epic, thanks for your work!

Thanks for all nice comments. :)

What I forgot to tell you is that the preview includes all frame fixes we've done for that part, which is hundreds.

I can tell you a very visible one you'd see right away, just compare Vader's first appearance to the raw GOUT and look at his belt lights.

Impressive.  Most impressive.

DJ's snide comments in the post aside, I look forward to seeing this!

You're too late.  It's no longer on the spleen.

How about using proper capitalization and punctuation?

It's not that hard to do.

Ok, now DJ has posted the sample again. This time it looks correct, without the chroma shift.

And don't be too hard on DJ. He was just tired of this project being compared to Harmy's, when it's obviously very different since we're working from the opposite direction. That, and he's working hard on his job, and on this and 3 other projects on his free time.

Oops, single post.

This community does get a little weird like that sometimes especially with such high profile projects.  I'm glad that  folks like DJ, Ady, and Harmy do what they do because I know I don't have the skills nor am I known well enough to have the wonderful support chains that these folks have gained due to the time and work they've all put in.

My hat is off to everyone and anyone who takes on any project, no matter the size, because every little bit helps.

:)

It looks very nice and excites me.  It makes me sad that Dark_Jedi doesn't come around anymore.  It was he who granted me entrance to My Blood and Thrombocyte Reserve (sorry, we're studying hematology in nursing right now, so the spleen is on my mind).  He did tend to get offended easily while using sharp words with others, but I appreciate his work.  While I love Harmy's efforts and mean him no disrespect, I really am very excited about this project which is IMO a truer preservation as it works from the original source.  Even if there are shortcomings in detail compared to the Despecialized movies, I can know with certainty that I am watching the original Star Wars films.  Harmy's work is wonderful and I am more than impressed with his skills and effort.  But as you said, it's two different directions, and the three on this team deserve a great deal of appreciation as well.

Please no one hurt me;)

Don't worry darth_ender. I don't think anyone is gonna bash you for preferring a certain version. Everyone has different taste, but I too respect Harmy greatly for putting his heart and soul into working on his version.

Anyway, the rumor might have reached you guys that we're planning to release the 97 SE counterparts of each movie along with the restored originals.

The 97 SE's will be nicely upscaled using the TB version, and have the theatrical subs included. Since the colors are pretty screwed up in the 97 SE's, there will be a slight color correction involved but don't expect wonders. And there won't be any dirt cleanup since obviously it's taking way too long just to do that on the originals.

Here's how Mos Eisley will look in ANH, a few scenes we felt needed additional color correction. Before and after:

Will you two (lol, I made a funny....You_Too) be using the DTS audio for the 97 upscales?  THAT would make them a very welcome addition to everything that has come before.

I don't remember if the cinema DTS audio was synched to this version (TB) or some other version? Otherwise DJ will certainly try to synch it so we can have all possible options. He will probably include audio from the LD's too.
