Info: General Terminator 1 & 2 Discussions. — Page 21

@TServo2049: I just thought it was interesting, that's all. We won't change the color correction since it already looks the way it most likely should. :)

Did anybody ever see this 35mm print auction from back in November?

Yes, the blues look purple, but I think that's an issue with the camera's white balance. Point is, another 35mm source which definitely has the blue push.

Oh, and for the modern generation of digital color graders - notice that the blue/orange dichotomy is not in every single scene.

Hello,
I just got myself the lossless pcm transfer of the old Terminator LD and want to create 2 ultimate versions for myself

1. The complete Monotrack with just the two bugs fixed
(switched rifle/shotgun effects during police shootout and missing shotgun effect Terminator/Reese/Sarah police car chase)
2. The new 5.1 mix with the old gun shot effects (including the above mentioned correction)

I have some questions before I start
Are there any other wrong or missing effects in the original Monotrack ?
How can I manage to fix those effects especially in the police shoot out?

As far as I read not all of the gun effects were changed in the new 5.1 mix.
I created a list with all changed gun effects I know of:

- 1st Sarah Connor kill
- Ginger kill
- Terminator Plasma rifle

Did I miss anything in that list?

All help would be appreciated. Thanks best regards

Please, for those wanting to start their own projects, go start your own thread, these threads we make are for our projects, not to discuss others projects, when we come into our thread because it is bumped I want to read what we are doing or what people want to see, or to discuss possible extras, etc. what we don't want to read about is other peoples doings, we can do that if we choose in your thread.

Thanks

T1 never had strong bass. It was non-Dolby, Academy mono, which always lacked low end. To add bass is to alter the mix to something it never was. It was an 80s B movie, it should sound like an 80s B movie.

And changing the FX would be no different than George Lucasing it. (Speaking of which, you are going to unfix the fixes made in the DVD/BD transfers, right? I know there was a shot in the future war sequence of that Terminator infiltrating the bunker, which originally had him facing in the wrong direction compared to the wide shots...)

One suggestion for the first TERMINATOR is to boost/enhance the bass elements.

 Haha. I remember as a kid my friends and I would laugh at the part when the Terminator explodes cuz there was like no bass in the explosion sound. We'd turn up the bass on the receiver to the max and turn the treble down to minimumto try and help it....or turn the bass off completely and turn the treble up to the max just to hear what it sounds like lol.

Another question - IMDB says this:

Recent copies of The Terminator contain some restored footage, not found in the theatrical release. This footage is not selectable bonus material, rather it is automatically incorporated into the film. Among some of the shots restored are:

• (At the factory)
• A shot of Sarah making a final crawl before falling onto an inactive conveyor belt.
• A shot of Sarah crawling on the inactive belt, towards an active one.
• A shot of the terminator shifting to the left, then to the right.
• A shot of the terminator riding on the active belt.
• A shot of Sarah falling off the active belt, before entering the compactor.

Is this true, are there extra shots in either the DVD or Blu-ray transfers?

And here are the altered scenes in the modern transfers I was referring to:

The new MGM R1 DVD releases has two altered scenes, at the request of Lightstorm Entertainment, supposedly to fix goofs in the original picture: a scene set in the future, when a Terminator enters the rebel compound, has been flipped on its vertical axis; the scene where the Terminator leaves the motel in L.A. has been cropped/reframed so that his feet are no longer visible (this was done to fix a continuity problem: the original scene showed Schwarzenegger wearing shoes instead of boots as previously seen).

The first one can be easily fixed by re-flipping the footage to match the old VHS/LD/first DVD transfers. The second probably can't be fixed, at least not without switching to an SD source like the original Image DVD.

I have all but 3 of the releases now and the LD has more bass (Depending on the release) but I still say none are the true cinema mix 

I need to find a copy of the squeeze and one day the hivision

Well hopefully you guys find all you are looking for.

I have the first release dvd with the CDS mix, and I have compared all the DVD/Blu-ray releases to it and I can't hear much difference - and usually I can hear the differences quite easily. I may have to give it another listen though.

Guys would be easier and cooler toward team blu members to create your own thread ´s for your own projects.

Dj and co prefer to keep their threads focused on the project at hand.

it Will make it easier for everyone.

Has the sound mix been decided for T2 Team blu project? 

Apologies if it has. Will talk in another thread about it.

 So why would Team Blu even care about making customised Blu-ray discos for The Terminator and Terminator 2 Judgment Day if they won't share any of their uploads on sites?

Talk about whipping a dead horse six ways from Sunday I tell ya hwhat.
