Thanks guys... Now that I have found this project. I will wait everystep of the way ;)
I'll be there for v12.3 (the one with just the right jawa eye yellow)
If french is included on 2.5 then 2.5 it will be.
Thanks Harmy and yoda-sama for the feedback.
Quality is important to us all here, so I've re-uploaded the Sources Documentary video to YouTube using the original .mkv. I think YouTube's re-encoding still resulted in the same loss of quality, but the bitrate appears to be slightly improved.
The video is now live on YouTube at the following link:
I also took the opportunity to improve information provided to those viewing the video on YouTube, such as annotations and a clear description explaining that Harmy made Star Wars DE, not me (an unfortunate confusion as a result of me uploading your documentary). Gotta make sure credit is redirected to where credit is due!
Harmy, as someone who I imagine judges the quality of individual pixels in his sleep, you probably will still be understandably dissatisfied with the quality of the video on YouTube. Still, judging from the views a comments on the first uploaded version of this video, I think there's an audience out there who will first learn about this project by viewing it on a widely-used site like YouTube, so this is at least a good way to introduce interested fans.
When I find the time, I plan to add English subtitles using YouTube's closed captioning. If anyone's interested in translating the dialog into another language, let me know (send me a PM)! Adding subtitles for multiple languages would allow this video to be enjoyed by a larger audience.

Thank you. Yes, the quality isn't really much improved but that was to be expected, really, so no worries. And you're right, it will still serve its purpose nicely :-)
As to adding subtitles - it would be good to have subtitles in different languages for it for the BD as well, so if you guys do make subs for this, it would be great, if you could send them to me :-)

There are Catbus' Project Threepio. I added them all to the 2.0 mkv with mkvtoolnix.

Please bear with me if I tend to get too excited about anything or say too much, I have issues.
I meant subtitles for the documentary, not the movie :-)
I'm currently dubbing the documentary, but if you need subtitles as well, let me know.
So, if you're open to accepting subtitles, does that mean what you showed us is the full documentary rather than a teaser? Either way, it was enjoyable, though more is always better.
Yes, I thought I already said that, didn't I?
Probably, I just must have missed it. The important thing anyway is the 2.5 feature quality, everything else is just gravy.
How is school going, you finish your semester yet or are you still facing finals?

Oh my God! And I was saying that just after considering doing the French subs for the documentary myself. Dafuq, brain? :p
Sorry, I have personal problems, and as I have no activity planned until at least september, I might try doing the subs for the French-speaking audience.
But as Yoda says, "Do, or do not, there is no try". I just have to find a Mac program, as the last time I did this I was still using Windows.

Never said that have I, Imperial propaganda this is!

Haha.
I already subbed the first 3 minutes, I just have a problem with some technical vocabulary such as "crushed blacks" or "color correction", but a Google search put me on the right track I guess.

I believe the first one can use whatever the translation is for "slavery", and the second you can use French equivalents for "equality", "emancipation" or "15th amendment". Or am I on the wrong page?

Thank you, I'll be here all week.
*crickets*
Lol! God I love this forum.
I just started the part on the GOUT. I'll continue after dinner.
Bon appétit !

I really enjoyed the documentary! The whole thing looked very professional!
Seeing the examples of the color correction side by side in motion was quite a shock as I've only seen small stills before. I have not yet watched either 1.0 or 2.1 as I've kept holding out for 2.5. So seeing it in motion was a very nice experience.
I was also really amazed how good the clips from Project Blu looked!
Great job everyone!

I already have made a french translation for the doc. I finish the timing of the subtitles and I will sent the subs to you.
Well, I just finished mine too :/

We can maybe mix our translations.
A transcript of the documentary in English is available here, which might be helpful to those of you creating foreign language dubs and subtitles.

Well, I know mine's not perfect, especially for the technical vocabulary, but I think I found good ways to translate them. I'm sending you mine if you want.

harmy, are the hdtv versions of the 1997 and 2004 version you talk about in your video still available anywhere? and are they just of star wars and not empire and jedi?
Hey Harmy,
Great job with your sources featurette! I really loved seeing how you combined the disparate pieces to make a whole greater than the sum of its parts. The only thing I'd suggest is that you remember to credit one more very important person: you. You mention how one part of the frame was rotoscoped in via a custom mask, etc. but you never tell the audience that you created the mask, or that you worked frame-by-frame to reincorporate it. We all know you did, but you deserve to take a little bow, methinks! =)
Just my two cents. Keep up the great work, as always! =)

I think it would, actually.
Point conceded.
