Just received RotJ today. I LOVE what you did with the color.
This has probably been answered but did you use some noise reduction filtering on this? It seems less sharp then the first two.

Btw, when I worked with ANH and ESB, the color vectors showed the blue to be fully saturated, the yellows and greens were almost non-existent.

I think we're all hip to Lucas ripping as much off of Frank Herbert as he could without getting sued.

"Amidala?"

I was sort of waiting to see who would crack on that first.

But seriously, it's the NEW edit of Dune. Amidala has been inserted as a deliberate create decision.

If I understand correctly, there is no difference between the theatrical and the DVD versions of Ep. 3. Which to my thinking means a quick conversion from SRT -> SubPicture and a reauthor.
Should be a 15 minute project. Can't wait to see it.

I noticed in ANH the wipe when Luke and Obi are lifting 3PO (just before Ben's house) is missing too. It caught me off guard when I first saw it in Moth3r's. Is that fixed in Citizen's?

I gotta say that I agree. I don't want to see any changes to the film made in the X0 project, but I don't EVER remember seeing the garbage mattes when I originally viewed the film in theaters.
Either it was a limitation of the films transfers (versus better quality laserdiscs), or just my lack of accuity at the time. I feel that anything that yanks you out of the movie experience is bad.
(Which is one of the reasons Lucas' crap ass digital characters annoy me.)

To be fair, he is offering to pay forward. If you don't want to help him out don't. You could also point out that MySpleen.com contains many versions he's asking for.
Dunno, is he being greedy? Maybe. Spamming? Definitely.

I was kinda hoping that ADigitalMan would add it to his edit since I know I'll be grabbing that.

I actually haven't gotten myself psyched up enough to do this...yet. If someone wanted to wing me a copy so I don't have to wait for MySpleen...

Anybody see this yet and know if this'll need color correction or not?
I know Moth3r was saying that he's done some work and it looks better than the first 2.
If it's a straight resize and audio dub I could probably get this done in a short weekend.

The whole PiF thing doesn't seem to be working that well, do you have any alternate distribution methods in the works?

Yeah, what the heck is that? I just did a project on Womble last night and it cut the black frames at the end too. Is that an option or bug?

THX is a hoax anyway. You guys ever see the first DVD release of the Highlander? It was THX certified and is probably still considered one of the worst looking DVD transfers ever.
And wait, isn't that travisty of a disc for True Lies THX certified? If the edges were enhanced anymore they'd cut through the picture tube.

ADM: From my limited knowledge of Womble, doesn't it allow you to do wipes, and then only re-encode the localized regions that require it (leaving video segments alone where there is no change/need to re-encode)?
There should be minimal if any degredation under those conditions.

I strongly recommend you catch up with Joss Whedon's comic book of Serenity (Dark Horse comics) before doing an edit.
It's a prequel (to the film) and bridges the gap between the TV series and the movie. It explains a lot and patches much of what seems like continuity errors.

I know this is a bit off, but I figure most of us are going to be shopping for the best deal tomorrow.

Most electronics stores (Circuit City, Best Buy, etc.) are listing $14.99. Anyone find a better deal?

I picked up Ep. II on it's release date at Toys r Us (no kidding) for $9.99.

Here's the deal. It would be awesome if it was set up from the beginning to have the secrets kept secret, but the real point is this:
Even though the movies are numbered 1-6, the real watching order is still 4, 5, 6, 1, 2, 3. Do you think it was an accident they were filmed in this order? It's sort of a big flash back to see how you got there.
Heck there's still the 7, 8, 9 that may or may not happen. The original plan was 4, 5, 6, 1, 2, 3, 7, 8, 9.

As crazy as GL is now, he USE to be a real sharp filmmaker.

Once he falls on his face as the "serious" art-film maker he's "retiring" to be, he'll film 7, 8, and 9 to pay his bills and stroke his ego.
