Star Wars OT SE 1080p 70mm Filmized Concept (a WIP) — Page 3

Well it also depends which matrix (if they went through a conversion to RGB at all) the frames were initially decoded with, of course. What you tell the encoder doesn't make any difference to the encoded video data if it's being fed YUV (as most are); it's just a hint stored in the container which will hopefully be taken by any eventual decoder. I've always got expected results out of YouTube if the video encoded was matrixed from RGB with rec.709, incorrect results with rec.601, and no knowledge of any other way to confuse colours.

Out of curiousity, are any of the wrongly-coloured ones (with a corresponding correct version on Vimeo/Facebook) still up on YouTube?

That image still looks nice though. I like how sharper it is comparing to original.

As I said before, a Harmy + emanswfan 70mm filmsized Despecialized Edition project would be amazing. It's up to both emanswfan and Harmy though. I personally would love to see it, and believe it would be one of the best collaborations ever.

C3PO and R2D2:

You definitely improved  those scenes.

Yeah, the blowout of the white areas in the R2 shot actually causes loss of detail.

Well, I actually was trying to make it prequel-like lightning (one of the very few things I do like about the PT), but the shot is hard as the bluray compression is just too low to do much tweaking with the shot.  I was going to just take down the blue's saturation down but it made artifacting so I had to pull up the brightness of the blue to hide it.  If I can get it to look not as fat, than I'll post a revised version.

Most of these shots look way too over sharpened. I understand the Bluray looks like crap, but while adding sharpening makes it superficially look better sometimes, you can't create detail when there is none (and trying usually just ends up creating EE artifacts). The best results are achieved with just color correction like Harmy's.

I know simple EE can cause artifacts, but if I do it the right way it can look better.  I'll post a video example at some point soon.

Maybe you could preface your comments with "IMO", otherwise you come off sounding like a self appointed authority on the subject. Some of us like what we see in the project.

No problem, not trying to come off poorly.

Another shot of Obi-Wan from ANH:

In the back ground  the lights like the blue and some white, have changed. There's some bluish green introduced in the white lights.

Ben looks alot better though now.

Oh, I guess I didn't notice I accidently did that there, should be a quick easy fix.

emanswfan sorry for posting this on the forum too just making sure you get this message. is this a fanedit also what do think of adywan's star wars revisited fanedit? please answer both questions.

Oh, and most importantly, do you like long walks on the beach at sunset?  Please answer this as well.

And also, as your username is an anagram of "me swan fan" could you tell us a story involving some birds. Thanks in advance.

Great screenshots so far, especially interested how your ROTJ will look like.
Your new Ep I-III color timing I am still most looking forward to.

This actually looks really awesome. 70mm grain looks so authentic. If you don’t mind me asking, Have you done anything since?

Leave him alone to work on the Prequel Trilogy for the time being. It needs a bit of love. Sure a polished turd is still a turd, but at least it’s shiny.
