HAHA! Finally I have all of the elements of the flyover isolated in After Effects! Does anybody have any idea what would be the best source to pull the '81 starfield from? I’m thinking a laserdisc transfer with levels adjusted to improve the contrast between the stars and space, but does anybody know of a transfer with the stars relatively clear? I did a test with the X0 transfer that was recently posted to Myspleen but during the pandown they do this strange smearing thing, and once levels are adjusted, a lot of the stars disappear into black.
Any ideas?
Maybe you could see if the stars are salvageable in TN-1’s partial clip from the silver screen edition.There’s got to be some in there. Alternatively, you can see if there’s a usable shot from Empire’s starfield that you could use.
