Frink's Digital Diorama [was: OT Deleted Scene Restoration Project?]

Is anyone interested in restored versions of the OT deleted scenes included in the 2011 Blu-ray set?

I can do the restoration in PFClean.

(Note: I'm putting this in the Fan Edits subforum because I assume that it will appeal primarily to Fan Editors.)

Yes. That would be great.

I'm certainly interested. I keep seeing upstarts that peter out and die. I hope you succeed!

What I'd really like is a manager of some sort. That would really help me get it done.

For instance, someone to say: "Finish scene #8008135 by Monday."

I have the BD already ripped on to my computer, but I don't have access to my computer right now.

Does someone have a list of the included deleted scenes from each movie?

I'll have to double check these later when I get home, but...

Sounds good!

Perfect, actually, considering that my favorite of the three films is ROTJ.

darth_ender said:

I too love ROTJ, and have been advocating an edit that would make great use of the deleted scenes. I would ask that you start with all of those, giving highest priority to those in color.

I will, of course, prioritize color scenes over B&W scenes.

I'm not too sure if I even have the motivation to restore the B&W ones.

emanswfan said:

That would be great , never heard of PFClean, but it looks pretty cool.  I really hope you can prove the usability of these scenes.

Interesting tidbit: -1's team is using PFClean to restore the 35mm.

Scene list updated!

Thanks!

Do you happen to know which ones are in B&W?

darth_ender said:

Timdiggerm included whick are B&W in his list, it appears.

I am absolutely blind.

Thanks, darth_ender! My apologies, timdiggerm.

Further confusion about how you saw 3d effects in The Hobbit.

I kid. Seriously, no need to apologize.

And I second the request for ROTJ first. After those, Luke & Biggs?

:-)

ROTJ -> ANH -> TESB sound good?

At least with the pilots, restoration is the first step before colorization. I know colorization can often be disappointing, but in the heat of the DSII battle, it just may work.

OK, but I'll still focus on doing the color scenes first.

Oh, yeah, definitely.

When this project is complete, I suggest a big rar or zip or whatever be released (via spleen, etc) as a fan-edit resource.

I agree. That sounds best.
