Well, I'm not going to reveal the source of the footage as I'm not sure they'd want me to (if they want to, they can do it themselves) but otherwise yes and I can tell you, pulling those colors out wasn't easy and manually cleaning up all the dirt with clone-stamp in AE was also quite a feat (also, as usual with such cases, thanks goes to Laserschwert for first degraining the footage for me) but I think the results are definitely worth it.

I love seeing the difference in those 2 images, great restoration work there, the colours look really good. I am looking forward to this release more than any other!

Looking pretty good.  By the way, I think a hair made it in the "after" shot at the bottom-left of the frame, in the middle of the hallway.

Yes it has and it will stay, because it's there throughout the whole scene and I am not painting it out frame by frame. Also, a lot of the smaller dirt particles are left in but those you'll even find on the BD and the over-all look is very clean now.

I'm guessing replacing the whole shot is easier than just replacing Lando? I'm sure that's one of those things that sounds easy but would require all kinds of stabilization and stuff.

You're a mad genius, Harmy. Great work! I love the colors and detail you've pulled out of the source material.

OK, the final workprint of the whole movie is finished. I put the links to the DeEd thread at tehparadox. It is a 5GB MKV with a timecode and only one audio track (hairy_hen's 5.1) and there are some things that still need to be done (for instance I'm still looking for someone to recreate the credits for me - in the WP I just used the v1.0 credits. Anyone?) but it should already make for a pretty good viewing experience, so if you just want to check it out for that, that's ok and maybe you'll notice some problems in the process.

I believe it was Laserschwert that did a great job re-creating the credits for Star Wars (ended up not being used, but still great).  Might be worth sending him a PM.  All I can do is copy editing the result.

That whole post was read in my head with my "general forum" voice, except for "Laserschwert", which was Harmy's actual voice from the Sources BTS video. ;-)

I know we don't know each other well, doubleofive, but I think that's a sign.

 Ever since seeing the sources video, I automatically read all Harmy's posts in his voice.  Haha particularly anytime "Laserschwert" is mentioned.  XD

I'm pretty sure that I said it like how Laserschwert is pronounced in German (or at least it should be in the ball-park) :-)

I haven't listened to the sources documentary. Would the proper pronunciation sound like the following?

laser-shvert, where the "a" in "laser" sounds more like the "a" in "ass" rather than the "a" in "ace"?

A picture is worth a thousand words. Post 102 is worth more.

I’m late to the party, but I think this is the best song. Enjoy!

Well, I'm sure Laserschwert or some of our other German members are more qualified to answer that but I'm pretty sure laser, being of English origin is read the same as in English and then the Rs are pronounced differently in German.

Yes, laser is pronounced the same in German. Also Harmy's pronunciation of Laserschwert is correct :)

Btw downloading the workprint now. Thx for all your hard work, Harmy :)

Wonderful work, Harmy! U da man!

I hope you'll release MKV and AVCHD at the same time for the final version :)

@ Harmy

Did you create the credits for Star Wars yourself? It's possible that Laserschwert is already done with the German version of the credits of TESB but I'm not sure.
