LoL, actually I dig that, it's interesting.

OK, here's something everyone can enjoy.  StarWarsArchivesCom have uploaded Michel Parbot's Empire Strikes Back lost documentary excerpts to YouTube.  Here's how they describe it:

Excerpts from the lost 1980 Michel Parbot documentary. It's basically a better quality version of the footage from the Dutch Broadcast combined with the clips I released in 2007. All in the correct order with the main and end titles to make a coherent whole.

This really is brilliant stuff!  Enjoy :-)

Maybe the link should be moved here as it hasn't much to do with ESB:R.

My question is: How do you/Puggo know that Puggo's 16mm is unfaded? Is it standard for film that when it fades, it red shifts (as opposed to blue shifts or else fades uniformly)?

All I'm saying is that I wonder how one declares any such print as unfaded. How can you be certain that Puggo's print is the actual original color?

Please, forgive my ignorance.

 

Personally, I'd rather defer to Adywan's grasp of common sense regarding proper coloring over relying on the color of potentially improperly maintained prints.

Suffice it to say, Adywan... to quote Star Trek IV: I "feel safer about your guesses than most other peoples' facts."

I am glad someone asked this question, because I to was wondering how it was determined that the 16mm film is the correct unfaded colour. 

I know, in reading articles, that film ages even when kept under lock and key in a vault.

However, in the age of computers it can be corrected. Film makers such as Kodak ect... know how the colour shifts based upon the degradation of the chemicals of the film itself. They even know it down to the date of manufacture and type of film that was used. Using that data, the computer can automatically correct. 

Was something like this used for Puggo's 16mm film? Is there a color distortion from the 35mm to 16mm conversion when it was originally made?  Is there a reason the 1997 ESB:SE release is not being used for colour matching?

Again, this is not meant as a criticism just some questions into the technical aspects behind the project.

I to am anxious to view the film as close to the original colour as possible.

I think the whole color argument is pointless for the Revisited series.  This is a special edition, not a preservation.  That means that if Adywan likes some other colors better, he should alter the colors according to his taste.  If he accepts others' opinions, he can do so.  But to adhere strictly to the original colors when he's introducing new special effects including altered lighting and alteration of other colors seems to be a waste of effort.  If folks want original colors, they should look to projects like DJ's/You_Too's and Harmy's.  If they want a special edition, they should get used to the idea that there will be many elements that are not present in the original.

I don't mean to be rude to anyone.  Just making a point.  My apologies if I offend.

You do make a good point.

I was only asking the questions cause ADY has spent a lot of time talking and trying to find sources for the original colours. 

Matt. 

You are right, he has.  Again, I hope I didn't come off the right way.  I just have read several comments from several people over the last several weeks that seem to be stuck on colors, so I finally decided to speak up.  I know I'll be happy with whatever Ady chooses, whether he sticks close to the original or decides to go for something different. :)

The thing with Ady's versions is that they're a nice mix between special ed, and preservation.......I think this is why they've struck such a chord with the fans......they do introduce new changes, but even when doing so they stay true to the originals, or the original spirit of the films.

That doesn't sound so hard.
