I referenced my large collection of production photos for saturation levels.

Keep in mind that production photos very often look nothing like the final movie.

If you want to know what corrections make to the scan, you need to project the print.

Keep in mind, bulb matching is a thing. This is a great way to get the color on the print, but the color on the screen is the color on the print combined with whatever color bias the projector bulb has. So for a seventies bulb, we’re probably talking a little yellower. Not to diminish the importance of this in any way–this will be extraordinarily helpful, but maybe not the final word.

From what I understand, this could relatively easily be incorporated into DrDre’s algorithm. You would need to describe the light used to scan a particular print and the light emitted by a bulb what was in common use when said print had its run in theaters. Of course the accuracy of the final result would depend on how accurate data you fed to the algorithm.

Great stuff, thanks!

This is the 35mm JP that’s on Myspleen, right? Are there chapter times available anywhere? I’d like to put it on a disc.

The Myspleen 35mm is from some other group, and was going to be the source for this release. Team negative1 never released the version this thread is about.

Thank you for all your contributions to the community, Peter. I wish you weren’t leaving, but I understand your situation, gotta have priorities. Wish you all the best in life.

Look, you can mock me all you want if you can’t take some constructive criticism. But I’m not seeing any refutation of the logic that if you’re gonna upload something publicly anyway, you might as well do it in a faster and more convenient way.

Faster and more convenient how exactly?

Two problems with public trackers:

1. Speed. Everyone can connect and everyone can download. Hit’n’runners ruin everyone’s download speed and never give back, which is a huge issue for 25GB torrents. Seedbox users rarely use public trackers, because honestly, why would they? No one wants to waste bandwidth on people who close their torrent client immediately after the download is done. Uloz.to is faster.

2. They’re public. Everyone can connect to every torrent and log people’s IP’s. Copyright trolls can too.

Stop whining and fill your captchas. Using a download manager it will all take about 4 minutes of your life.

Of course it’s not going to be an official restoration, but even working on untouched Blu-rays is bound to have some quality loss. If you re-encode a re-encode, you won’t be impressed by the result.

Fan restorations can rival official ones, if your sources are decent enough. 😃

When you say “BD rip”, do you mean untouched blu-ray or a re-encode?

A box, a disc, a cover, and shipping somehow cost $25.

The nerve of some people.

No real corrections done.

Jesus.

 Well, a 5 second colour balance and a crop and resize.

Okay, cause I'm assuming we're dealing with pink vinegar reels or some such thing, right?  It sounded for a second like you found a source that looked that good out of the (airtight, argon-filled) box.

 Pretty sure poita only deals with Technicolor Star Wars prints, so no color fade.

 Actually, I have scanned so far..

Star Wars: Multiple Technicolor IB prints, Eastman, a smelly VS print, and an incomplete LPP, 16mm on poly and acetate, Super8 on acetate. Another two IB prints awaiting scanning.

Empire: Eastman, Fuji, 16mm on acetate, a faded reel of dailies, Super8 mute print on poly

Jedi: LPP x 2, 16mm on acetate, and I have another two prints waiting in the wings for my financial situation to improve.

 Damn, that's an impressive list. I don't even want to know how many terabytes this all weights.

Myspleen or Blu-torrents

PC culture

The original Jurassic Park 35mm release (Jurassic.Park.1993.35mm.1080p.Cinema.DTS.v1.0) is not related to Team Negative1 in any way. They've tinkered with the scan, but their thread has "unofficial" in its name for a reason. :)

Your thread might get buried, your best bet is asking people who do 35mm restorations on this forum if they know someone who has those prints. That, plus monitoring ebay.

Once you have the prints, arranging their scanning shouldn't be too hard if you have the money.

I really hope you folks coming here for invites aren't going to be hit n runners there.  That junk really grinds my gears.

Why do we still entertain these requests in the project threads?  It clogs them up.

I'm new to MySpleen and trying to seed "safely" without people being able to see my computer and potentially harm it. No idea what I'm doing and the MySpleen "how to torrent" link is dead. Any help would be awesome! I posted on the spleen forum last week and got nothing. . .

People can't harm your computer using bittorrent protocol, but your IP is completely open for anyone to see. If you don't want it, get a VPN or a seedbox.

I think a modern human being can watch Fantasia and understand it is a product of its time, and anyone that can't, well the edited version exists from Disney.

Whitewashing these scenes now seems far more offensive to me than watching it with the scenes intact.

My 5 year old would not understand something like that.

 Your for year old would probably sympathize with Sunflower and wouldn't even notice her skin color.

It's you who's overly sensitive, not your child.

Why

How accurate are the colors on odd film cells being sold on eBay, added to collector's BD editions, etc? Does anyone know the process of making them?

I'm asking, because I imagine that those generally come from specifically struck prints containing only one, or a couple of frames replicated over and over again. Are those prints made from the internegative used for theatrical prints (or rather, parts of it), or is the process different in any way?

DrDre's software is a big deal, because in theory buying only a couple of frames and scanning them would give us a very good approximation of original colors. The possibilities would be endless.

That's very impressive! This regrade would be the best version of Raiders.

Is there a mkv for jedi as well?

 No

Is the ESB frame color corrected?
