The master tapes are just that: the final mixed sound and outputted to audio tape.

On a production back in the days, you had your on set sound recorded on a nagra and all of this was edited and put to stems which is multi tracked tape. One track was dialogue, another was music and another was sound effects. These stems are then mixed and mastered to stereo, mono, surround sound master tapes.

I understand that but didn’t all the played audio in the film prints come from the film (on the side)? Or where else someone could get these master tapes unless working for LFL? Just wondering is this a similar case to “I wish we had the o-neg to scan it for OT.com members” or are these tapes actually around somewhere like film prints?

Sorry if I’m a little ignorant on this subject but what are the master tapes? Are these like negatives are to the film? Or where were they used?

I was about the same age when I first saw it.

I think you put it quite succinctly when you say that the film makes the fantastical seem pedestrian. The characters dont react to those things we find astonishing. It lends itself to the whole ‘used universe’ aesthetic Lucas was going for.

Even when Ben introduces Luke to the lightsaber, you dont see Luke reacting with amazement. He takes it, looks at it with brief curiosity; his hand resting right where you might expect an ergonomically placed switch to be and he activates the lightsaber naturally. No big reactions. Ben does the talking. He says its the weapon of the Jedi. Its his fathers weapon and Luke does not speak of the lightsaber but his attention goes immediately to his father…to the story. In this world of amazing imagery its still at its core an intimate story. It becomes bigger as the story continues but it allows the viewer a chance to settle in.

They walk into the creature cantina and it is a spectacle of alien races of all types. At the bar, Ben is already engaged in a conversation with the Giant Dog. There is no big entrance of the Giant Dog. He’s just there among a host of other odd looking creatures. He’s not chained. He’s not in some cage that they have to break him out of. Your introduction to him is not a cheap showcase of incredible strength.

Yet there are parts of the film where its fantastical nature is on full display. The opening scene with the Star Destroyer is all pomp and circumstance.

I have no idea how Lucas managed to keep the fantastical and subdued in proper balance but he did. It is either intentionally or unintentionally a well executed piece of cinema.

Well said, I haven’t even thought about it like that before because it feels so natural that you don’t even notice it.

Excuse me, Star Wars.

Welcome aboard!

Rogue One will be my lead-up to watch the OT.

A friend of mine said he met Mayhew at a con and said he was a real jerk, which is contrary to everything I’ve ever heard before or since. Wonder why he’d lie about that? Or, if he wasn’t lying, I wonder what could’ve caused Mayhew’s bad day?

Actually it’s pretty much the case, he’s known from being grumpy at cons and not even saying hi to people who pay to see him. Not blaming him, I’m sure he meets more than enough of crazy fans and he has his health problems etc. but him and Anthony Daniels are maybe the “worst” from the main cast. I’ve met Daniels and he was nice with me but he’s also literally made little girls cry."

That makes me like Anthony Daniels so much more, hahaha!

If you like the princess attitude, sure. First mistake is to touch his table. He can be nice but also very bitchy if you do something against his made up rules.

This IMAX poster is pretty cool.

Great progress!!

Got mine on Dec. 14th right after work! 😃

Movies have been added. June and September could need some.

Mine too. And I don’t mind it either way, you’d think they need to see what they’re doing if they fix their droids or something. They don’t look that sterile.

Is there an in universe (so I’m not talking about emulating Dam Busters) reason for the trenches on the Death Star? I was thinking about it and I realized the trench was a bigger flaw in design than the Exhaust Port. The Exhaust Port was a known factor. Darth Vader knew about it, it was ray shielded, the whole shebang.

But WHY is there a trench leading straight to it that enables your enemy to remain hidden from most of the blaster fire and possibly even hidden from view of the fighters defending the ship?

The only answer I’ve come up with is that the trench is part of a Giant radiator needed to expel heat from the Death Star.

I’ve actually never thought about it. When you think about it, it’s pretty funny. They even had turbo lasers in the trench just in case some enemy fighter was flying in the trench.

According to this it’s a polar trench: http://media-cache-ec0.pinimg.com/originals/56/65/91/5665915ff2327d17ff7d9e54e97714e8.jpg

Pretty images.

Beautiful work guys, I’ve been reading this daily and will continue reading. 4K sample looks great. I don’t have anything to add, just keep up the good work and all the best with the project.

Yes. For a long time I considered all three unbeatable but it’s hard to say now that ROTJ is better than some of my other favorite films… Which disappoints me as of now and my younger self who once thought otherwise.

Nice job. I just have a problem with Leia’s face, it doesn’t look like Carrie at all… More like Sean Young.

Wrong thread?

We need more reels! 😃

Also wondering about the audio treatment here. I really wish you can add the hairyhen mix into this mix.

IMO I’d add a little more color, it feels a bit cold. Right side more orange/red and not cold pink and left side a bit lighter blue and not so cold purple. Just my opinion.

Holy crap!

No.

Why not?

Umm, what? How about they’re from the same movie and not theatrical posters? Not sure if the second one even is an official one (I’m not asking). And why do you even care why not? If you have your own opinions you can state them like I did, not sure why you must ask stupid questions about my opinion.
