Hal 9000

I don’t really feel that adding musical score where there wasn’t any would help the film feel calmer, so I don’t gravitate toward doing that. And extracting dialogue to the resistance takeoff in order to use a different recording of the same piece would seem to do more harm than it’d be worth.

And I am open to ideas or mock-ups based on Sherlock’s compilation. I might be able to play around with it some, but we’ll see; I don’t have much free time and energy at the same time right now.

I don’t think I’d use most of those, to be honest. Although, the lossless audio output makes it possible for the intrepid person to edit anything into them.

But, I’ll go over that list later on and at least consider them, especially those that patch up gaps in the film’s score.

Hadn’t heard about that before. If you have a list of things like that you’re thinking of, I can certainly give it consideration.

I’ll try to take a look tonight, and thank you!

I love how direct and sharp this thread is.

For no goddamn reason at all, replace Han’s line, “What’d you do?” in TFA with the same line delivered the same way from about 1:57:40 into Blade Runner 2049.

Sure it would. But we’ll have to see. The ingredients will be there when they will, and I’ll put it together. It’s all bound up and set at this point.

I really don’t, either. If Nev is all right with applying his nighttime effect to that clip I could go ahead and implement it. And remain open to new footage to come from jonh at a potential future point.

The haircut exists, but there are ‘glitches’ he said he would fix. I think it could be tackled by someone else to fix it up, but I don’t remember if we have all the footage.

Well put.

Let’s curb this topic here; it’s really not relevant.

It looks pretty good to me, feels very Star Wars. I do see what you mean, with the initial explosion looking weird somehow.

I guess

Very nice, tackling the biggest one first that no one has been able to get just right. The aura around it works so well, with just the radiance you’d expect from that kind of phenomena.

I imagine the only way to see Shaw in the role here would be for jonh to photoshop a face for him and animate it slightly. It’d be great to see, and I suspect we’ll either see it or not regardless of discussing it here.

That’s how a prior version of my OT project was, with only ROTJ being sourced from 19SE. I’ll be interested to see how it compares to the other two in look and feel.

What is the thought on doing a quick V1.5 with what we do have while we wait for others?

I might do that but I can’t right now. It wouldn’t be all color corrected and nice either.

Hell, maybe you’d be able to make a LUT from Adywan’s 1997 project and apply it to the 2011; idk!

And I can get you D+80 for ESB if it’d be helpful for bits and pieces to patch up the 2011. (R2 scanning for Luke on Hoth looks purple, the awful sabers on Cloud City, a shot of Star destroyers with a weird digital glitch.)

Have the battle droids speak in Mr. Rogers’ trolley sounds.

I did that as well, since alternate audio tracks are relatively easy.

I would caution against using Adywan’s old 1997 SE reconstruction. It was sourced from 2004-era HDTV and encoded relatively small by today’s standards. It’d be a lo-fi source to build on. If you’re able to adjust the 2011 BluRay I think you’ll find a much better end result. I have a bucket of LUTs that were provided to me for 2011 ESB if they’d be helpful. I’ll PM you about them.

I’ll be interested to see how your project coheres with the 4K83 footage you’ll use. I say that just because I found the 2011 version of ROTJ really difficult to work on. Granted I don’t know much about color correction.

I’m interested in why you seem to prefer the 2011 BluRays as a source over the 19SE. They have their pros and cons, and the former has a long history of being reviled.

Perhaps even though the unmodified 19SE is more palatable than the 2011, modified versions of each could shake that up?

In the case of ROTJ, I found the 19SE and 4K83 to cohere pretty well, far moreso than the 2011.

I think the project has certainly passed the ‘biting off’ phase and in ‘chewing’ mode approaching swallowing.
