team negative1 - star wars 1977 - 35mm theatrical version (Released) — Page 42

I'll make that thread if -1 promises to only make sensible posts here and post the nonsensical stuff there.

Oh, and if he responds to Moth3r's post.

Here's the first glimpse of the famed Binary Sunset scene, without audio. A very early version:

Password is - OT

There are multiple takes in it, and it first repeats around the 40 Second mark.

Awaiting comments on previous post. We will be posting a slightly color corrected version of the 11 minute Red Segment posted earlier. This would have been for a possible Grindhouse release, which is currently not scheduled.

There was mention of one possibly being done here:

There are no current plans for one now.

Looks good, maybe darker than I imagined it would look, also it carries that flash of colours thing going on especially in the sky were its more noticeable, will that be a constant in the final release do you think? Is it from the degradation of the colours on the film itself?

This project is really coming along nicely, I don't get the impatience with it, given what is involved. I am looking forward to seeing eventual updates added in from other sources (unless Poita is working on his own restoration that will remain separate). The clean up work looks quite good, but I still think that there might be some colouring issues (high on the reds and yellows) that are resulting from the imaging method. Something to think about for afterwards anyways, as you/the team mentioned you had done some preliminary colour correction.

The 11 minute slightly color corrected red sample clip in 720p HD,

note how it matches some of the look of the recently released Ebook outtakes:

Anyone notice the similarities in the quality of the color correction and the recent Rinzler Ebook footage from the deleted scenes?

They look similar to us.

To be absolutely honest - no, I don't see any similarities

Is there any point in keeping pointing that out? They have obviously also been scanned from faded prints, so it seems to stand to reason that they would look similar.

The comment may have more to with Moth3r's questioning and Frink's taunting in these 2 threads .... an unfortunate side effect perhaps?

We find it interesting, because the deleted scenes from the BD were in much better condition. Why would they have those in better preserved condition and not these deleted scenes?

Team Negative1

Wait, is the X0 Project still alive, or is that just a name?

1. Oh.

2. Oh.

That was my general understanding poita, but I am glad that you clarified it just the same. I apologise if what I said lead to any confusion. I think by working on full scans on proper sources, like you are doing, your project is going to go a long way to fully preserve the original theatrical prints as best as we have seen or could hope for.

Now as to whether the X0 project comes back/still exists in some form, that would be an interesting discussion.

But how many -1 people are there?
