Hmm, I like your “fuck-it” attitude! Anyway, it looks realllyyyy good, I think all thats left now is some manual clean-up to be done!
Necrobumping, but has the OP of this thread done anything more in regards of the restoration?
fuck it, holidays have been boring so i got to work getting software and starting to clean up the footage

The contrast is a little strong (highlights on Luke’s sleeve), also having a pink cast.

oh yeah i know it needs proper color matching to the other tatooine scenes in the real movie and probably a bit more clean up.
Looking great so far! I hope you will continue to pursue this very worthwhile goal!

Hey, I started cleaning up a section of one of the deleted scenes. It’s not much (six seconds), but it’s my honest start, and I plan to do more: https://youtu.be/L5opb7IGhjM
not bad for the begin.
can´t wait to see then all cleaned.
thanks for making this
No problem, thank you! Currently working on another shot 😃
FWIW, there’s already a guy here who’s been working several years on these scenes. Here’s the latest thing he posted from earlier this year.

Maybe you can get in contact with him and collaborate? Seems extremely slow and tedious work for one person to do.
I’ve cleaned another snippet of these deleted scenes, and I have to say I really enjoy working on them. I’ve got a decent amount of spare time at the moment, so I will hopefully make a fair bit of progress on these scenes.
Thanks for the note by the way ifjg. I remember watching his restoration a few years ago and being pretty amazed, but from what I’ve seen, he is changing backgrounds and adding new graphics to the scenes, which is not what I’m doing, so I’m not sure if the vision aligns there.
I’ve published a quick comparison of a fairly simple scene that I have done: https://youtu.be/XL4qsva6l9s

Yeah, colour grading isn’t really my specialty… the shaking has been reduced significantly compared to the original film, and I’m moving on from this shot now, but I may come back and touch that up a bit in the future.

Looking good. I smiled at the comparison to the AI restoration. I tried running the scenes through a film restoration script to reinsert in the film before, but something looked really off and I couldn’t put my finger on what it was.
I’m fine with some imperfections in the shots if it means getting these finished in a timely fashion. I feel like it’s way overdue for this restored footage to get out there.
After rewatching, the shaking doesn’t bother me too much but I’m in agreement that there’s a little too much pink in the color graded. Since there’s a lot of subjectivity in what colors people prefer in the main film to begin with, I think it’d be most efficient to release these without color grading.

Thanks for the feedback.
I think I will still include color grading in my videos, but I will release several different versions once full scenes are complete, which will include non-color graded versions.
Looking great so far! I hope you will continue to pursue this very worthwhile goal!
cheers man
can you send a PM of the lukes introduction scene? That droid with the goggles looks kinda sus😬😬😬
Did a sound mix for Tosche Station Part 2

Subjective but I think it’s a pass or good enough music scoring & sound effects. Ran out of steam recently bit down so far this year.
Loving how things flow by breaking it up with R2/3PO.
I have majorly lost my motivation for this project, as other interests, commitments and jobs leave me without time. Because of this, I am unsure as to whether there will ever be a “Part 4.” I have sat on this Part 3 for 2 months, with the bulk of it complete, and I decided to just finish the video comparison and upload it as to not waste the previous work that went into it: https://youtu.be/GTfucMZkhqQ

Really nice work. I’m always shocked to such a small handful of people devote time to fixing up this footage. It feels like this stuff should have been cleaned up a looong time ago. It gives additional insight into Luke’s character and gives more weight when he reunites with Biggs later and subsequently loses his best friend.
Thanks for putting in the work to do what you’ve done!
