You bunch of ignorant Idiots! Now I must get rude!
You've pretty much screwed up ANY chance of getting help from anyone here after that.
You come here and say how crap someone's hard work is, seem to demand that someone hand over all the file that jambe used and now talk crap like this?
For your information NONE of the original Jabba footage is available in HD, ANYWHERE apart from, maybe at Skywalker Ranch.. Its all low quality AT BEST. It had to be recreated using multiple sources of varying quality that the best quality isn't even DVD scale as it's mainly from VHS. Upscaling to to HD isn't going to make it look better. If that is what you want then why not just use the footage from Jambe's doc and work you magic? I highly doubt Jambe would be willing to hand over any of the files he has ( even if he even still has the original files now the project is long finished) after you talking trash about his work. Politeness could have gone a long way to achieving you goal.
I know, I just want to cover the CGI-Crap from the Blu-Ray with the actor, leaving everything around the actor from the Blu-Ray footage, plus some upscale and color correction. And I already found someone. :D
well you would have to do a LOT more than just remove Jabba and replace the original actor. You would need upscale the original footage so it would match the blu-ray footage (impossible to do by the way with what is available), remove all the crap mattes they added for the 1997 version (still images with terrible frozen grain and an actor that suddenly pauses for a few frames), create brand new 3D mattes to cover CG Jabba ( a bigger task than they faced in 1997 because of the extra missing sections thanks to CG Jabba being much larger and covering even more of the original background) , track all the sections you need to add these new mattes, rotoscope the original Jabba to place him in the scene, replace the missing sections of Han's fingers & other sections (thanks to the older technique rotoscoping done in 1997 & 2004), Suddenly jump from Blu-Ray footage of Han to much lower quality footage for when he walks behind Jabba, match the grain between the original and blu-ray footage, colour correct each different video source of original Jabba so it matches perfectly with each section & magically remove all the credit text that covers the original Jabba (that's the only footage known to exist of that section, so good luck with that).
Unless you can magically produce detail that is not there in VHS quality (and in some section even less) footage to bring it up to the blu-ray quality of the footage, then i would not even bother because it's going to look terrible, and all that work would have been for nothing. It would be like getting a crystal clear video and adding a moving blurred blob to it
Thank you very much, these are necessary comments I wanted to read, also when I already knew the half of it. Now I also understand Frink's Diorama Work!
