Oh, I didn’t realize he didn’t intend to cut them together like the book. What’s the point then? Ugh.

I’d be happy to check out your edit and give you some feedback. Might be useful to get feedback from someone who’s never seen either movie, too! Just gotta buy the movies first and then I’ll give your edit a spin sometime this week (probably after Rise of Skywalker comes out, honestly, but I might be able to get to it sooner).

Holy shit, that’s quite the pick for your domestic total, Hal!

As someone who hasn’t seen either film and was purposefully waiting for the teased official “supercut” that may or may not actually happen, or for a fan edit like yours, I’m intrigued.

Do you have plans to eventually update your edit with the Blu-Ray of Chapter 2? And if so, are you trying to hold off on that until you get some viewer feedback to make additional tweaks before updating the Chapter 2 video with the BR?

Currently encoding a new workprint for ROTJ using the 19SE as the primary source, since it was easy to do. This should be much more watchable than the BR-sourced one available now.
But, I probably won’t use the 19SE as the ultimate source because it is a different feel to the ones I used for ANH and ESB. Whether it’s Adywan adjusting the BR or someone else adjusting the eventual disc release of the 19SE, the ultimate source remains hidden for now.

Especially since Adywan just announced that he’s scrapping his 2011 BR color correction entirely and waiting for the new 4K masters to get a physical release…

Hi Brandon!

Don’t post links openly in the forum, it’s against the rules.

The best way to share is to create a new thread in the proper subforum for your edit, share some info about it and a cutlist (not really required, but customary), and ask people to send you a private message to ask for the link. Sending links through private messages is fine.

To send a PM, click on the username to go to the user’s landing page. Once there, click on the link that says “Start a Private Topic.”

To read your PMs, on the top right of the screen there’s a little “speech bubble” - click on that to open your inbox. When you have new PMs, the “speech bubble” will be solid; when you have no new PMs, it will be an outline.

Welcome to the forums!

Using the 2011 Blu-Ray and the recently scanned “From Star Wars to Jedi” 16mm print (as well as whatever source Jamie Benning used in Star Wars Begins, a few VHS recordings I think)

I can almost guarantee you that won’t happen.

Interesting, because two more episodes and you would have finished the Book 1 story. Haha

Speaking of The Expanse, Season 4 just dropped on Amazon and I just finished episode 2. It’s still every bit as excellent!

Duracell, did you ever continue on with the series? (Naomi’s hairstyle is less ridiculous in Season 4, for what it’s worth.)

Yes to all of those questions. They’re the same masters that were used for the DVDs.

I’ve got nothing but respect and admiration for the work of JSteven/FGR. Bullshit to continue banning one of the most talented and creative editors here over some shit he said years ago.

Or maybe if one gets banned for something one said years ago, one should try contacting the mods and politely expressing contrition for one’s past mistakes and asking to be reinstated instead of creating new accounts to circumvent the ban in flagrant violation of the site’s rules multiple times.

Making good content doesn’t excuse repeatedly violating the rules. This isn’t the first time a talented creative that’s contributed to the community has been permanently banned from the site for breaking the rules. Adywan and Harmy would (and should) get the same treatment if they behaved the same way and they’re practically deified by the community.

Ah, okay, I misunderstood what you were trying to do. I don’t do much disc burning these days so I’m not sure of the best way to go about doing that. Hopefully someone else can chime in.

I don’t have the small bitrate versions, but if those don’t have black bars (aka, the video stream isn’t a full 1920x1080 or 1280x720), you can’t burn them to Blu-Ray since the spec requires full 1920x1080 or 1280x720.

If you’re using the full bitrate versions, that would be too large file size wise to fit on a BD50.

Oh wow. Yeah, that’s certainly much more severe than mine. I do know that high levels of stress cause my tics to increase in frequency and severity, so hopefully once you’re more settled (big moves being stressful and all that) and have had time to get effective treatment for your PTSD and any other issues, the Tourette’s symptoms will begin to abate some.

Hey Bingo! How severe is your (suspected) Tourette’s? I have mild Tourette’s myself (with no coprolalia), but it’s something I’ve had as long as I can remember. I imagine having it onset later in life would be rather jarring.

Just a point, film grain is distracting and takes you out of the experience, regardless if it’s natural or artificial. Sure, the CGI backgrounds are obviously CGI, but why not make them a bit “blurry” (but not too much) to make them feel less fake?

Counterpoint: I disagree with this entirely. Film grain is not distracting and does not take me out of the experience. In fact, it tends to draw me in more.

Obviously it’s possible to go too far to the point where it is distracting, but in general, the lack of any type of film grain will distract me more than its presence.

So you’re saying modern live-action movies look bland, even if there’s no dreadful color filters applied?

Oh, absolutely.

There are exceptions where the director/cinematographer go “above and beyond” to make the look of their film stand out, but even then, things tend to look artificial and soulless to me.

Oh, right. Duh.

impscum?

😄

The time for him to work it out was before he created a sock account in direct violation of the forum rules…and definitely before he did that multiple times over (his ForceGhostRecon account was a sock to circumvent a ban).

As one major, easily identifiable example, the Yoda puppet used throughout the theatrical and kept on the DVD has been completely replaced with CGI (using the ROTS model) for the Blu-Ray.

1999 theatrical Phantom Menace is significantly different from the DVD and Blu-Ray versions. Especially Blu-Ray, which is significantly different from the DVD version.

Theatrical TPM has never been released on home video on anything fancier than VHS and Laserdisc, and the DVD version isn’t available officially on anything better than…well, DVD (though Schorman has preserved it in 1080p from HDTV broadcasts).

There ya go. Quote my post to see how image embedding works.

To be fair, I’m not doing a very good job of staying away. Haha
