As for the ability to help yourself to creative projects - I think it's the future.

... Leaded by a sense of morality, notably in accordance and Respect the authors's will or wishes, as with a minimum of general common sense, I concur. Otherwise it is the door open to imposed rules and even interdictions.

However, it doesn't apply here, as it is not what I would call a "creative" project... I'm not an "author" in the right sense of the word. I'm rather a mediator. And this time I chose to share anyway.

Everyone is free to encourage this kind of effort or not. This should make this clear once for all said that way. ;)

... At least the first transport is away ! :D

I never understood why they had to pass so close to ONE Star Destroyer...

Come on, I wouldn't dare entering such intimate questions.

I'M PLANNING A TRIP TO IRELAND FOR DECEMBER, 2011.

Everyone is invited, of course.

I didn't know where to post that, and as far as Harmy looks really interested in RotJ, and as I never saw that before, I thought it may be the right place. Sorry it's in French:

Cut scenes from RotJ:

Here

Sorry if you already knew that.

PS: Yeah, you look in better shape !! :)

I won't click (I didn't, and I do not)

- (Ooops, wrong thread)

I understand but when you're not here for long you can surely allow yourself a little lifting. For me Vader ceased to be through that shape ;)

PS: sorry Ady, back to topic perhaps...

This was the last one ;)

... And Harmy, perhaps if you manage to find a little less sick avatar you'll make us all feel better... :)

I'm not forced to choose between your two solutions. The OE thread bilditup made before on the same site was far more respectful, and he invited anyone to feedback here (just would have I liked him to let me know, here again), And it was indeed really great for me to hear a horn player who has played with the London Symphony telling how much he enjoyed it here.

Note that the feedbacks you'll read here will give you a far better idea of "what's in there", than on tehparadox.

You're too used to help yourself freely through the web without counterpart, I definitely think. A feedback is not too much to ask, considering our efforts (in general).

Also, no need to ask me personnaly, some have used this thread successfuly.

Ah ok, I misunderstood. I agree with you, excepted that it also may depend on your printer. But well, let's forget those details... Too expensive and not important enough ;)

Oh, thanks for the clarification (and compliment). I though I understood, but when in doubt I prefer asking. ;)

 

I also stated that I would like to see A New Hope and Return of the Jedi done with the restored soundtrack over a black and white silent movie. However, I have read that you have no plans to restore either of those soundtracks.

 

Indeed. The time I spent on restoring ESB was at the expense of the two others... in a way. However the first drafts I made through the OT Savage may already give a nice result. They both received great feedbacks. I'd be curious to hear the film mixes however. Maybe I'll pm D_J about that, but I don't think about doing for now, unless I find in it a nice hobby for the heart of the winter.

This is the address of a webpage I have did years ago that lists all of Dark Jedi's early work..... http://homepage.ntlworld.com/russdawson/gtf/dvd/OTHERS/dj.html

Impressive! D_J, you should be renamed "Jedi In The Dark"! :)

I ignored I had it in me (was: Who ignore that you're ignoring them, when you probably ignore yourself more than you're ignored by others (was: Who is Ignoring You, and Who are You Ignoring? (was: Who is Ignoring You? (was: Hello all, I'm back!))

Anyone out there still not sure about this one, I say to give it a bash as you will not regret it.

It sounds a bit odd at first but the black and white picture with only the musical score to accompany it really does work.

I have seen other black and white versions of Star Wars films as well as others with various Isolated soundtracks but this approach tops all of those.

Thanks. May I ask what sounds "a bit odd at first" ? Our idea ?... Or its sound ? No offense anyway, just curious. I must say that I've such a poor TV equipment for watching this that it sounds miles away from what it gives on my hi-fi.

Great work and I also agree that it would be great to see all 3 films done like this should anyone ever fancy having a go at doing them.

Hello ?... Sorry - kind of connection problem.... I can't read you well.....   :)

A few words for DJ - going back 5 years, you captured every US Laserdisc release, the Japanese Special Collection and a couple US VHS sets - 39 releases in total - and got a similar response then to the one you are getting now...

 

Wow ! 39 releases !? Hehe, I wouldn't have supected that.

I've said it to D_J by pm and am gonna say it here again - no offense at all through this comparison, please note: I love Adywan's ESB 1980 theatrical reconstruction, and the 1st idea for a B&W version with the score (though it has been done before) came when playing it that way and saw how the photography + the cleaning were great. However I noticed D_J's GOUT in B&W didn't have as much aliasing / or sharpening, what makes it to my eyes really better than what it would have given with the one that brought the idea. The contrasts also, after comparison, are imho, really more natural in D_J's and less blowing for the eyes. Also, I just hadn't this 'digital' feeling I had with the other.

... Mmmhhh ? oh!  That's not the same thing: GL is ignoring you !

Edit: You really have to distinguish what belongs to the Mind ↑ from what belongs to the Ego ↓

^ Or a space parachute perhaps ? :)

I'm not in disagreement with what DE just said. But if anyone, and notably the author, wants to experience something "else", it is in their own right.

As far as "sharpening" and that stuff goes...your final print area for the poster will be the size of a postcard.  Nobody's going to notice. :)

 

 

If you're speaking about msycamore image, he - fortunately !!) hasn't posted his original file (which I know). You would need about 3 or 4 screens to watch it, bud ! Haha !

... Cute! :)

'None',

Your 'Ben Burtt' exemple shouldn't occur for real jobs. I have a similar job than his in another area, and as far as I'm paid for a product that someone (who expects a professional definitive product) will purchase, I won't request an evaluation note. If my director is OK, then it's OK.

Most people who download our projects take the time to track out both our threads and the stuff we have uploaded. This torrent took 6 or 8 hours for me to download. And if you decided to watch the film in its entirety it takes two hours. I don't see where's the problem then in taking 2 or 5 minutes to give the least feedback, intelligent or not. They don't have to be from "specialists" every time, one of the big weakness on this site definitely. I'm actually glad of the lot of feedbacks of all kind I received for the "Audiophile Edition", and I could have quote here for exemples some that probably took only 2 min to tip but are enough to make you understand the sound is such as no one of the CD releases has reached.

It is time for people who track down such projects to have conscience that if we do this for pleasure, we' re not forced nor meant in any way to warn about these, nor share these away. They also have to understand most of the time they're able to find these thanks to other's feedbacks when they do, what is a major point. We could have just dealed this project for ourselves by pm with D_J, and it's possibly what may happen for any other plan.

Of course, this one is perhaps not the "project of the year" in the preservation forum for most people. The statement here stands for a wider consideration of the matter.

In the wait, I've just said it: "our pleasure!". Thanks for your words.

Thanks. What you say about the share should be all natural, but there are always show-off that will spoil the pleasure to share your effort. Of course, you don't need to ask me as far as you don't mean to post it in a blog or worst: a "supermarket" site like the one involved.

For an update I'll see what I can do (I have to put my nose in it... again!). The most important remains the pitch corrections and it would be indeed nice your set gets rid of that. Otherwise a couple of corrections make the AE details (booklet) false, but I won't update it. Another thing, the cue sheets from your sets will surely be useless (I haven't made new ones), so I'm affraid if new cues spread it will make great confusion. Only time will tell.

Me neither.

Besides someone in my family has one and I thought it was too impressive... Yes, too impressive to watch every film you have in that quality. If I had one I would take it out of its box only for rare occasions.

Best avatar since the begining ESF. lol !

There's no law against a boycott in the US.

You can boycott, you can't call for Boycott (in theory, and in France). I only knew about that a couple of month ago.

Edit: yes, after a google search it appears that there is law against it but it's not really respected not clear.

There's no law against giving your opinion however, haha!

... but that's as far as I'll go for Darth Lucas this time.

Darth Lucas ?... I thought it was George Palpatine !

Please boycott Star Wars on Blu-ray (http://www.facebook.com/pages/Boycott-Star-Wars-Blu-Ray/146137858743842)! And also please give your input! :D

 

Beware, I may mistake but I heard there is a reprehensible law against calls to boycott (perhaps it is only in my country, but I'm not sure).

The best way remains to propose a good fan edit or preservation anyway... Or to hang on the petition.
