The techs are all missing frames, and are cropped more than the other prints.
They also have more damage on them.Therefore we will be using replacements where we can.

Somehow oversaw this bit of info from the LPP thread:
“The LPP is only there to fill in the dirt and replace the missing frames. This project is all about the Technicolor version of Star Wars. It’s sharper, and the colors are much nicer than the LPP, but it’s also has a lot more damage. As a bonus, using the techniques demonstrated here, we may also end up with a version of the LPP color timed to match the tech 😃”
But still, guys: What’s up with the Kodak reels? Further dirt mapping and/or frame replacements?
Exactly. If this is a Technicolor project, with the LPP used to fill the dirt gaps, what is the Eastman/Kodak print for?
And in this topic, TN1 said that “THERE ARE SEVERAL SCENES IN THE RECENTLY RELEASED STAR WARS 35MM LPP”, which I assume are from this project, which “is all about the Technicolor version of Star Wars”, but in the Silver Screen FAQ, TN1 says that the replacement shots where from Eastman stock:
“The intro and crawl were from a faded English Eastman Kodak print. (Does not have Episode 4 in it)
The Han shoots first scene was sourced from a faded Eastman Kodak print.
There are also several replacement shots throughout the movie from faded Eastman Kodak prints.”
Guys, I really think you should explain where the different film stock (LPP, Eastman, Technicolor) is going to be used in this project 😃, because I’m really confused with this.
Thanks!!
