I just had this thought when I was watching ANH:R last night. I understand that you are going to be changing some things between the current form of ANH:R and what will become ANH:R HD. Now what follows isn’t supposed to be inflammatory it was just a thought that I found interesting.

Would you consider the fact that you are tweaking with your version of ANH:R to be almost akin to the way Lucas tweaked with the standard ANH. We’re coming upon the same dilemma where the original ANH:R will not be available in an HD format, just like the OUT is not available in HD formats. You changed your mind about some decisions that were made and want this new HD version to be the definitive version of the films, yet there are people (like me) that would just like to see the current ANH:R but in HD.

I’m not sure this equates completely, but I feel like you could understand Lucas’s mindset on why the Special Editions exist in the first place. I also recall a popular argument for why the Special Editions are bad is because they supersede the Original Versions. That same thing is now going to happen with ANH:R. I’m not trying to be accusatory, I just thought this was something as a community that we could discuss.

This sort of updating editorial choices while upgrading visual or audio quality is fairly common in the fan editing world, though. I don’t see it as quite the same thing, personally.

I love that movie but I hope we never get a sequel.

Yep, this.

I’d vote Cinema DTS as the primary. That seems to be more or less the “standard” for these types of projects lately (like with Schorman’s theatrical ROTS).

Also, why would they have remastered something they don’t plan to release? Archiving to avoid film damage?

Exactly.

Possessed said:

Am I having a stroke?

No, people just seem to be bad at reading comprehension lately.

Anakin Starkiller said:

I saw a thread on another forum yesterday suggesting that maybe they’ll use the scrapped warhammer subplot from TFA to integrate Leia. It wasn’t a leak or rumor, just conjecture, but it makes sense.

That would imply that they filmed any of that material, which I seriously doubt ever got out of early script stage, if it even got that far.

Not bad at all! And in the absence of a true 35mm scan to use as a reference, I’m with you on the subtitles.

Chyron, are you sure you’re playing from the original files, or did you rip it to an MP4 or something and crop the letterboxing off in the process? Because I’ve never seen an anamorphic DVD of the SE of The Abyss.

There’s a pretty nice hybrid HDTV reconstruction of it on MySpleen at the moment, though.

Goddammit.

I still don’t understand what he meant by it. Was it just a joke of some sort?

Believe it or not, it’s not just you this time. None of us get it. It seems to be a joke, but if it is, it isn’t funny.

I’m glad you enjoyed the episode, but… there was also that one scene in The End of Time where the Doctor freefalled several hundred feet, crashed through a glass ceiling, and was still well enough to aim a gun…

And there was also the one scene in Logopolis where falling from a telescope injured the Doctor enough to cause a regeneration.

its like they make this stuff up as they go along.

True, unfortunately consistency is not one of Dr. Who’s strong points.

I didn’t know Mrs. Lincoln watched Doctor Who.

Get out.

Chill

Start using it in the right contexts then. Or better yet, stop using it at all. Either way, stop cluttering up threads with the same thing over and over again.

Isaac, you can’t link that either, you’re just hiding a full movie link behind a Reddit link.

Describe your edit and some of your intentions, maybe post some short clips from it on YouTube or Vimeo and link them here for feedback, and distribute links to the full film only through private messages to people who ask for them.

It’s not that we’re trying to be mean, but the rules are in place so that the site doesn’t get a target on its back from the authorities.

Late to the party, but I echo everyone else’s sentiments here, Snooker. Very happy for you!

Get out.

The Senate offices shot and the surrounding transitions are probably more important than the bridge shot for just that reason.

That is a shame. You wouldnt think film restoration would be so hazardous to ones health.

No chance you got anything with subtitles?

He said it was a Russian print, so I doubt it.

Yeah, if it’s in bad shape and it could, you know, kill you, get rid of it. Don’t risk your life for a prequel movie!

Oh yay, more desert.

What, you guys don’t believe TCW Maul can be seemlessly incorporated into AOTC & ROTS?

Proof of concept:

Easy. Make it happen cowards.

Exactly what I’m talking about.

Right. Totally seamless and not distracting at all.

Since you’re using the BR as a base, are you replacing CGI Yoda with Puppet Yoda, or is this going to be the theatrical edit with CGI Yoda (something I’d actually be interested in believe it or not)?

*JEDIT: Not to say I’m not interested if you’re keeping Puppet Yoda, I’ve just been toying with the idea of confirming the BR with its visual changes to the theatrical cut for a while now, something no one else seems to have considered.

Oh wow, that’s fucking crazy! Hope you’ve recovered (are recovering?) quickly, poita!

Doesn’t Ash have a sore throat?

It’s more of a tickle now.

Wait, what? The MySpleen admins said they’d reopen invites? That’s news to me.

Handman said:

In addition to the end credits, we didn’t even get a title sequence!

And one of those four people was Wil Wheaton.

Nobody got a title sequence for the first episode. It was announced a week or two ago that it wouldn’t appear until episode 2.

But it is important to figure out how to go about doing something to get the best result.

I couldn’t agree more.

I am both identifying a problem and finding a solution of how to handle none of which anyone has any input in apart from calibrate your monitor guff

But…calibrating your monitor is literally the first and most important step in figuring out how to go about fixing color issues!

Fuck it. I’m done. You keep doing…whatever it is you think you’re doing.
