Since there was a shot in my last release that uses a purely GOUT based clip from Harmy’s v2.0, because I couldn’t get the color working in his 2.5 version of that shot, he suggested I use TN1’s release. It was this shot: http://i.imgur.com/WCyEHfB.jpg
So, I have. Thanks TN1.
I did some extra manual and automatic cleanup and stabilization, and did my best to match the color, contrast, grain, and sharpness to surrounding shots.
But then I had to keep tinkering. So I did the same for the shots of Luke preparing to board his X-wing, as Harmy used the purely GOUT based shots that were available when he was making 2.5.
And then I did the same for some of the model shots of the Battle of Yavin. I didn’t mess with anything that Harmy rotoscoped or used 35mm stills for, just the purely GOUT shots. And not all of them. He is sometimes able to get the GOUT looking better than I can get 35mm. And his starfields look great.
I did also include many of the explosions in that battle from TN1’s SSE. I think they match better with the surrounding footage as I’ve graded it, and I previously avoided touching the explosions because other colors would get messed up. Every single frame has so many things going on. And I used their ion torpedo closeup.
