THX WOW! New 4K Fan Edit and Special Edition Versions (Released)

Hi it’s that time again 😃 you may be familiar witht he THX WOW! demo clip, i did a 1080p version a few years ago and have now done a version with the clips replaced with the 4K versions where available using the amazing work by the 4k77 and 4k83 guys, i then made a special edition version witha new section added as it’s not star wars without some unnecesarry additions lol these are v1’s that will gradualy be updated once we get everything in 4K (it will be a long wait as i’m guessing willow 4K isn’t on their list of priorities just yet!)

Thanks for updating this. I love this demo so very much.

A couple of things, though.

It really would be awesome if you used true 4k sources once Indy comes out this summer. I know it’s heresy to say but I’m not a fan of using the scans unless absolutely necessary. There’s just so much more detail in the actual 4k scans.

We really should work on getting a scan of that THX trailer that ends the regular trailer. The one you used for the non-SE is nice but it’s definitely no replacement for the original.

Thanks again for doing this. Don’t want to come across as unappreciative!

It is my goal to have it all in 4k hdr and somehow remix it to atmos or dts:X, I did do a hdr pass test when I did the SE version, it worked then I got sidetracked but now with the 4k Indy’s due I will be doing a full 4k version (hdr too 🤞) then if willow ever makes it to 4k (possibly when the TV show hits) the circle will be complete 😊
As for the thx end trailer I have searched long and far for it but couldn’t find a version that didn’t drag the quality of the rest of it down, but since the tech has changed since I last looked I will have another look for it now 👍 👍

Any update on this? I still remember this being almost impossible to obtain on Laser Disc then DVD back in day. Lots of Home Cinema retailers would use it in their demo setups.

Thanks.

Well… The 4k version is still in the works hdr became a problem so probably “just” 4K, I thought I had cracked atmos but it doesn’t seem there’s a way to add it to a video file just as a master file for delivery to netflix etc 😞 so yes it’s still coming just a lot slower than anticipated sorry I had problems with my eyes so I couldn’t look at a monitor 👎👎 🤞 it’s getting better but again it’s a slow process

Good and bad news, then? Sorry to hear about your eye problems, I know only too well how frustrating and painful that can be. 😞

Sent you a PM back in November, not sure if you missed it but I never received a reply?

Wishing you good health mate.

@pjvader

Hope you’re well mate?

Great to hear that you’re still working on this project.

Are there updated/working Resilio links for your current 4K (Standard and Special Edition) versions as there doesn’t seem to be any seeders currently showing?

Thank you.
