team negative1 - star wars 1977 - 35mm theatrical version (Released) — Page 71

As mentioned previously, the comparison goes through at least 3 consecutive compressions, thus causing the detail loss.

We'll post the standalone video shortly.

Team Negative1

It seems to me that it's some kind of motion blurr or temporal denoising, unless it's the result of some kind of temporal compression, as not only is detail missing, but blurred detail has also been added. It's also not visible in other parts of the frame, which is odd. I guess Team Negative1 knows best, since they have access to the uncompressed source.

Ok, we went back and rechecked the clip.

==========================

1) There was an issue with the first part of the clip, a layer of cleanup was left in obscuring some detail. This has been fixed.

2)  The comparison script, and method with all the compression is being changed.

This way, there won't be some many levels.

3) The clips are A/B checked against the orignals.

4) There is some light auto cleanup, but that's not what caused the problem.

5) This is just a first pass WIP, there is more checking going on, as these aren't final clips.

6) There will several people checking it before it goes final.

So in the end, we wouldn't worry too much about the comparison clips, there's some dropped frame going on to sync the scenes. Don't try to extrapolate too much from them.

We have at least 3 people working on that are experienced in it. These clips are just to show some of the progress being made.

I don't think we need to put all the disclaimers on every single video we post as being works in progress.

The only posted cleaned final clips, are the Intro, Crawl, and end credits.

Note, that some of the Orange marks accidentally got erased also.

Here's the fixed intro clip:

If you want a better idea of what our cleaned clips look like, check out the 2 minute preview in the 8mm version, or from the links in the posts above. (Disregard the compression).

We'll post the completed clip shortly.

 You don't. I don't think we all assume that the final is going to be blue and blurry. We know you're not going to release the final version until it looks right. But if you want feedback, the feedback is going to mention both the good and bad of those samples. Thanks for the continual updates, though. They are appreciated.

True. We appreciate all the feedback, it does help. And we do want you to feel like you a part of this project.

Great! But I think you went a bit too far, NeverarGreat

I think the colors are pretty spot on. I think the compression on the frame makes it looks like it needs more work, and the color correction reveals the compression artifacts, rather than create new artifacts.

 KFTFY

The preview is just that, a preview. We've never cared about GOUT compatibility, but duplicate frames won't be an issue either in the final version.

People on the blog will be the first to check things out and give feedback when the time comes.

I have a two part question.

1) How do you sign your name in each post - do you type it out each time, do you copy/paste, or do you have some advanced algorithm developed?

2) Why doesn't your signature match your username?

I'll hang up and listen to your answers.

Text2speech saying "control plus v" to paste it (saves a syllable).

Here we are at the end of the movie, finally.

I have a question, if you were to compare the 35 mm preservation to the 2011 bluray how would you rank it in terms of detail on a scale from 0-100 (the bluray being 100)?

No, we are still not done, but we do we have clips from these portions that are being completed.

We'll be updating the progress shortly.

Here is the completion of that segment:
