well he might need his job to pay for things like softwear and chips to eat; all the basic essentials of fan editing.
do you know what sections or chapters your documentary will be divided into? maybe a behind the scenes part could be called "a view of the bottom"
Huh. That's really amazing; it seems very counterintuitive that adding noise to the video would improve its look and seemingly bring out detail.
Does it really bring out detail, or is it just our perception? That's a serious question; it looks that great.
Let me put on my dunce hat and ask a stupid question. Wouldn't 35mm grain be more authentic for the OT than 70mm, even if 70mm looks better?
tomorrow? so it should be finished by end of day?
And how Episode VII will be shot, ideally. Looking forward to this greatly.
Do you have, or have access to, a Mac?

And there's the thread. Goodnight, everybody. *locked*
No, just stumbled onto it.
I am interested to hear any and all of your ideas, man. I sympathize with not feeling up to tackling a fan edit. I, fortunately, am in the process of doing a set right now. I'd love to give more ideas a hearing!
For your consideration:
Looks good. In motion (and on youtube) I almost can't tell what you did. And I think that's a good thing.
After a week without this thread, it's Christmas. Beef log and everything.
He kinda looks like Jake Lloyd in that screenshot.
Again, that looks much more convincing than the original.

What other sources are you using?
Oh, I was just thinking of things like custom opening crawls and end credits. Nothing revolutionary. And of course the same clip from The Other Boleyn Girl that Q2 used for ROTS.
And that last shot looks great; having it appear to have been filmed really helps sell the FX. I have wondered, though I don't know, whether Episodes II and III having been actually shot on film would have carried that level of "aberrations." In other words, would they have looked this filmic? Then again, we haven't yet seen anything in motion.
Hey, it's great improvement already, and I truly look forward to seeing the whole thing.
i'm sure yours will be greater so it prolly dont matter much.
maybe you could include deleted magic as a bonus feature
Just curious, but do you know if there are any decent programs or plug-ins that can add realistic 35mm film grain?
I have no skill in this area, and even if I end up making use of your promising project, I would still need to apply something to the other sources of footage I'm using to have things match up. Plus it'd be cool to keep in mind for other things.
I think he was making a joek.

Episode VII is officially being shot on 35mm film.

It's being shot on film similar to what was used in the OT.

This also makes my 35mm PT preservation work all the more important to finsih it and get it right.
So excited right now!

Right on, man. I may as well just put my fan edits on hold because it is now imperative that I use your source material.
And this is a great sign!
I'm working on one too, which'll be in HD. The highest regarded HD versions to date are L8wrtr's and Q2's versions.
This thread is NSFW or for class! I'm giggling through day 1 of this Masters level class. Maybe I should unsubscribe, but I don't want to miss the next golden egg.

It's going to look great on the acronym database that's for sure.

can it have two titles, perhaps one at the very end?
one could do worse than future shop. i went there a few days from now and will be getting some blank dvds
i am subscribed to this thread to follow your rapid progress
will it really be complete to end all other star war? i hear many promises and lift my shoes for you to fill if you please to
Looking good. I think it will really come across as if the films had been made with a somewhat retro look. Not that you have so far, but I wouldn't want to take this effect farther than merited; I wouldn't want them to have any more grain and other artifacts than a good transfer of the original trilogy.
I heard a rumor that Episode VII might be shot on film, and if that's true this project will be all the more valuable.
