Idea & Info: The Mandalorian - Film Noir Style...

I was playing with VLCs filters to see what the mandelorian would look like with film grain to add that dusty film vibe of old and then took it a step further by making it black and white and letting only the red colour shine through, the results are an impressive Sin City style and make repeat viewings a very interesting watch.

Wrong discussion category.

The unfortunate reality of the Star Wars prequel and Disney trilogies is that they will always be around. Forever. They will never go away. It can never be undone.

I also prefer to be referred to as “TNT”, not “Freezing”.

Yeah was’nt sure to put it in fanedits as it technically isn’t just wanted to share the settings 😄

Interesting! And I’m guessing the blaster shots come through too, right?

Yeah but in true storm trooper fashion their hit and miss as the blaster fires quite intense with its red glow which leaves undesired artifacts on screen, I find those settings are a good balance without it looking too bad.

The IG-11 battle is a good example of the intense red halo blaster lense flare effect.

How might it look to only desaturate all but the red colors about halfway?

All examples were taken from the same filter setting values, unfortunately if the blaster saturation goes any lower then we start to lose the more subtle red effects in other scenes like in the examples below.

Unfortunately I’m only working on a humble HTPC and not able to edit videos on it, guess we need someone with strong editing skills to balance the values per scene, Hal! 😉
