The colors of Jurassic Park on HD+ media have always looked horrible, the key word is magenta. Magenta, magenta and magenta. The picture is also over saturated, which makes the effects shots (which usually are over saturated themselves) look 1000 times worse. I’ve done a complete Color correction and grade, bringing it closer to the warmer hue of 35mm Film, while keeping it modern and neutral. (in context, they may look too warm, but I promise you alone they look magnificent, This ain’t the 3D BD) I’ve also Color corrected all the effects shots to match the surrounding shots (there are usually blown out highlights while simultaneously being muted) aswell as over-saturation which has to be corrected. Excessive noise has been reduced in several shots (raptor shot used as example below) and one shot (Genaro talking to Hammond) has been partially replaced by an upscale of the Blu-ray; For some reason, the 4K Blu-ray shot starts out with a regular image, then fades in to a very degraded, seemingly 35mm source. This is not present on the 2011 Blu-ray, so the shot has been partially replaced.
This so-called “master” will be used as the basis for a Jurassic Park fanedit I’m currently planning, A La “revisited”.

Project is complete. You can PM me for it.

The colors look amazing, your description of the horrible colors of the UHD edition could fit perfectly with the 2011 BR of Star Wars, now, I have a question. Do you plan to add any language to your version? Since it would be great to be able to see and hear it in castilian, I’m just asking if it’s possible of course.
I’m really looking forward to this.

Definitely. Just provide me with the audio track and I’ll add it in.
so far the audio tracks are as follows:

Does your UHD disc include castilian audio and subtitles, YAREL_RGP? You should be able to mux them in yourself if it does…
??? First of all if I do that I would have to download the TGWNN project, it usually gives versions with high or low bit rate, I always download the high bit rate version, (which usually weigh a lot) then I get the dubbing and sync it in a video editor, but when exporting it in my editor I would have to adjust the same bit rate so as not to compress it too much, after exporting I would have 2 very large files of the same size, then I would have to delete the original source and keep my synchronized audio version, everything I mentioned is a long process that takes some time, for that it is better that the track comes in the project and that’s it, when you say (You should be able to mux them in yourself if it does) you don’t realize that not everyone has the storage space or time for it, I’m not saying this for myself, I’m saying this for many people to whom this could happen.
here’s a little comparission video:

sorry about the “Fan Made” subtitle, I’m also posting this on youtube so I couldn’t say “TGWNN” as no one would know who that is.

Impressive work. This looks very similar to a correction I did for my own personal use but this is even more precise. What I found was that the 4K HDR version isn’t all that bad on a proper HDR display but even not all HDR displays are proper. Converting it to SDR and using the HDR version on a proper HDR display as a guide, I was able to get it looking very good, less magenta, and with much more striking contrast.
This looks even better though! Can’t wait to see the finished project.
“Alright twinkle-toes, what’s your exit strategy?”

Ok. I’m rendering it now. there will be two files, Large (4K), and smaller (HD).

Woowww what an amazing project! Thank you for doing that ❤️
Question, are you using the scenes from 3D BD version that includes various fixes for safety cables visible in some scenes, etc.:

I’m liking this! If there’s one thing I’m missing from the recent slew of official remasters, it’s the warmer hues that have been buried in favor of blue and green. It’s one of the reasons I love the new 4K of Amadeus, which has its critics for being “too yellow”, not me!
I did an audio sync of Laserdisc Dolby Surround in PCM, all ready to go, synced to the 4K. Let me know if you’d like that. There’s also the Cinema DTS that easily syncs to it that I also have.
I’m not at all a fan of the DTS:X remix on the 4K, with the added effects. For that matter, I’ve yet to find any Atmos/DTS:X remix of a catalog title an improvement over prior mixes.

That will be done in the fan edit:

You’re a mensch for this! Great idea & great work (from the comps so far)!!
Ok. I just finished rendering the smaller encode. still rendering the bigger one…

Let’s be real, Magenta was THE color of the 90’s, and with Jurassic Park being a 90’s icon, I genuinely thought that is how it was supposed to look.
Thanks for this regrade! The preservation section of this website has been a rabbit hole.

No, not really. Magenta is the color of 90’s blu-ray masters. not the films themselves. Spiegelberg specifically wanted a warm, high contrast feel for Jurassic Park, so that it would feel nostalgic. And the opposite for the lost world: cooler, darker but with less contrast:

I just ran into a mistake; I accidentally switched one of the shots in the timeline.
I’ll re-render both versions tomorrow. sorry.
This is why quality control matters.

Very true, and as such, the blu-ray masters effected the way we remembered them, to a certain extent.
Excellent work! I’d love a link to check it out. It will always bewilder me how the 1990s became a decade of unbelievably bad color corrections on otherwise perfectly fine scans. Looking at you FotR!

Thanks so much.
Just PM me. That goes for everyone else who wants it. I’m notified about PMs more than I’m about regular thread posts.

Hey TGWNN - have you gotten around to the larger encode? Thanks!
