Frink's Digital Diorama [was: OT Deleted Scene Restoration Project?] — Page 3

It would be truly great to see this be done and would open up a lot of possibilities... Especially the Jedi footage as you say...

fingers crossed and good luck

What Jedi footage? No more extras possibly!!

AntcuFaalb, you would be doing somethin no ones ever here done here before if you did these in maybe SD for starters. Just a thought.

so,near 3 months later...

nothing new here...:-(

is there any news?

I'm from Germany and have no time to read all old post here, so sorry if I talk about something, that has been already discussed.

I want to make just a Bonus-Disc with Deleted scenes to the original theatrical version of the trilogy. As DVD and/or Blu Ray.

Can someone recreate the deleted Jabba Scene from "a new hope" with the actor Declan Mulholland in HD? The available version of a reconstruction made by Jambe Davdar for his documentary "Star Wars Begins" is bad because you can see the stencils and the quality differences of the sources, also the color correction is bad and the aspect ration is wrong:

The documentary "From Star Wars to Jedi", which is only available on VHS in US and UK and Laserdisc in Japan, contains the half scene in 4:4 aspect ration. And the sound is also not complete, Mark Hamil, as the main narrator, is talking about the scene while it is showing.

And I also want to see the final version from 1997 in HD, with and without original cinema subtitles. If someone needs some source, I have a DVD Transfer from a 1997 German Laserdisc, with original German cinema subtitles.

I have no material to reconstruct the Jabba scene, only a DVD-Transfer of the 1997 German Laserdisc, the bad reconstruction in the youtube version, the official DVD and Blu Ray and the UK VHS "From Star Wars to Jedi".

If someone could send me all existing material, in a good untouched version as it originally was broadcast or published somewhere (TV, VHS, Laserdisc)  from the scene with Declan Mulholland, in the best available quality, that would be great.

I would try to made a better reconstruction with the apple program "Final Cut Pro 7", but first someone have to send me the material.

I would try to make it like Harmy described how he made his despecialised reconstruction of the movie in this Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dHfLX_TMduY

I hope someone can soon help me with my project.

I ALREADY SAID I WOULD HELP!!

Don't say you would, say how you would! xD

Send me something or create something.

I already created something.  Now what?

Share it here or send it to me in e-mail, with help of a filesharing-side.

I sent you my address in a private massage.

I can't email a diorama!

You built a diorama, physically? I was talking of digital video editing/restoration! xD

Oh, well, I could probably do that too, but you'll be able to tell the difference.  

I'll get back to you.

So what do you mean then with diorama?

A part of an editing-software, some kind of project-file?

No, I meant a physical model.  I'm saying I can probably do it over as a digital model, but it won't look as real.

I also have to check with my Dad, because it's his computer.

What is a diorama if it's not what I think? I don't know much about the digital world, I just make a training/education as Cutter on a German private-school.

How can you ask for something you don't understand?

Ah, ok! But why? I wanted digital video-files. Or did you make the model to be filmed, to recreate the digital Jabba's moves, so we can delete him better?

Why would we delete Jabba?  He's the best part!

My plan was to put back the actor and recreate the non digital version, the original shoot from 1977. Why do you make a model? 

My Dad made me do it.  I don't even like Star Wars, except for Jabba and that Binks guy.

It might be possible to edge closer to the actor sampling background details from other frames.

You may be able to get an impression of more detail on the actor and his costume itself.

These details might even be mapped to a digital model.

Ultimately the effect will be limited and will probably look odd.

Unless Lucas releases the actual footage it's going to remain a collage of some kind and look strange in SD let alone HD.
