I also found out how to fix the inserted frames going pink issue.

Thanks very much for the audio fix, Lizard. Will the above be a fix in a future release?

Thanks

yes

Fixed audio files (and full video with fixed audio) has been sent out to everyone (hopefully). PM me if you didn’t get any links.

Hey MonkeyLizard10! Colors look phenomenal! Especially when comparing it to the previous 35mm that’s floating around!

I AM having a weird issue with the 5.1PCM track. From 01:49:35.958 it seems the center channel and the right channel, switch? I’m honestly not sure how else to describe it. Voices that should be coming from the center channel are coming from the right channel. But everything is good up to this timestamp. Anyone else having this issue?

Receiver - Sony 7.2 Multi-Channel AV Receiver Model: STR-DH790

Thanks! But as for the audio. Ah dang, that’s right at the change to the last reel. Yeah I tested it and listened for that and yeah it sounds off and I doubt the original CinemaDTS would have that wrong. (although it seemed the center was coming from the left? not right?) I guess I must have accidentally slide the center up to the top spot by accident in the ordering at one point and had it above left channel and so they swapped. Huh you know when I was timing splicing tracks I found the center easiest to do that with and I slid up to the top for easier comparison and dang must have forgotten to slide it back down. Let me go look at the audio files.

EDIT: Yeah dang the C accidentally got left up in the L spot so L became C and R became L and C became R.
I’ll have to fix that up. So both 5.1 tracks will be bad for the last reel and the tiny section of inserts region for the optical track will also be bad there (to a lesser degree).

I also found out how to fix the inserted frames going pink issue.

Anyway yeah thanks for spotting that major error. I always wondered how the studios could be so dumb at times to put out releases with swapped audio channels and stuff. Well… I sure guess I now know LOL yeah. When tired and in a rush stuff happens…

I will put up, when ready, links to both the full file with the fixed audio tracks for those who prefer that as well as just the separate audio tracks for those who prefer to download way less GB and patch them in with ffmpeg themselves.

Was this project finished and is there a copy out yet?

There is a beta copy out of the entire movie for the 1.85 theatrical aspect ratio 4k version now.

OK, so I’ve sent out links to the initial version of the full film.
If anyone who donated didn’t get it, PM me.

Project is not finished yet. TGR97 is not on this forum a lot, and discord links are expired, so we are kind of in the dark here. If anyone on the discord can send private invites to donors that be great 😃 (you can PM me for donation proof)

From what I see on the Discord the scan of JP is now complete and final processing is being done. Not sure but sounds like JP release open matte version should be ready pretty soon now. Within weeks it sounds like.

It’s rendering out now. Hopefully all the settings set correctly for the render out…
This is the full movie in Flat 1.85 format and the 4K wide gamut color SDR in HDR REC2100 PQ wrapper version with Cinema DTS and Optical Analog audio. HD REC709 gamut SDR version next. Later on the open matte versions.

Once that is rendered out then have to match up the timing between Cinema DTS and the analog audio (a bit tedious manual process) for each reel (already done for reel 1). Then splice the reels together. Then patch in missing bits at splices (not sure how many splices, reel 1 has one small splice, not sure about the others yet). Then render it all out to movie file.

I PM’ed the last two above. It’ll likely be closed for main donations after that. Might open up in a little bit for a tiny bit once find out cost for final step and then fully funded. (Perhaps many many months off it could open up again a tiny bit again if I add more trailers and snipes to the start of it.)

final reel - 10%

reel 5 - 8%

Is this project still active? I do not mind helping fund this project so we can get the footage.

Yes, been posting progress updates above.

Now reel 4 - 2%.

reel 3 - 55%

reel 3 - 8%

reel 2 - 85%

reel 2 - 53%

thanks

Update:
Reel 1 - 100% rendered (minus a few seconds of patch frames for a splice)
Reel 2- 38% and continuing as I type (it takes about 45 minutes for a 2% increase)
Reels 3+ - 0%

Let’s be real, Magenta was THE color of the 90’s, and with Jurassic Park being a 90’s icon, I genuinely thought that is how it was supposed to look.

Thanks for this regrade! The preservation section of this website has been a rabbit hole.

No, not really. Magenta is the color of 90’s blu-ray masters. not the films themselves. Spiegelberg specifically wanted a warm, high contrast feel for Jurassic Park, so that it would feel nostalgic. And the opposite for the lost world: cooler, darker but with less contrast:

True, and don’t worry, you didn’t go too warm.
Here is the 35mm and it’s even warmer than what you did (it’s in ProPhotoRGB so will look weird unless properly color-managed though):

AOTC Reel 1 rendering test started to verify black levels. If the black levels are good then it’ll have outright started rendering. Just gotta verify them on OLED and in motion and see if that needs to be tweaked so just about there.

Looks like Reel 1 has Kodak 2383 stock for the attached trailer spliced to Kodak 2393 stock for the main feature and seems they each need a slightly different calibration. Also the main feature on reel 1 needs a different calibration than the other reels for one reason or another (maybe since only that had the proxy .mp4 created along with the DNGs during the scan and that changed how it did the colors; the 2383 trailer stock made it do some under the hood base calibration different than when fed 2393 during that step; something set or read in during initializing step differently; etc.?).

Reel1 also will need some insanely intense aqua/turquoise/mint colors brought back by hand so will be a pain, especially for the second half of it. For one reason or another the scanner wasn’t able to capture their true intensity and if calibration is set to make them look correct then the rest of the movie picks up way too much teal saturation and if the rest of the movie looks correct then those look muted.

Hello!
Is this project already ready and able to be downloaded somewhere? If yes, where? Is that BD ISO file of it on Myspleen the same as this, just downscaled to 1080p or just a preview version or a complete other scan?

Hey! Great to hear from you!
Sorry, not just yet.

Reel 1 would have been out already some weeks ago though if not for the recent goings on which ended up with the side effect of delaying something that had been just about ready to go, another couple months, a sad useless shame, but whatever. I had been giving slews of updates and samples.

Anyway, I know nothing about some supposed other version other than someone claimed it exists a couple months ago. Whatever it is, it has nothing to do with me but it sounds like they have their full ultra grindhouse which is all they seemed to care about. And it sounds like TN1’s TSWTF own fully funded original project never did even the scan done after over 5 years and then they seemed to declare it abandoned…

My version is still coming and will have been directly graded side by side to an actual print and one of the (seemingly few for this title) printed on the highest quality Kodak 2393 stock. It turns out each stock seems to need a different calibration and creating the calibrations was an unbelievably time consuming and manor labor job (and even before it could be scanned I first had to work out all sorts of new findings with the scanner that alone took a couple months). With this stock seeming to need one with some of the most extensive side tweaks. And will custom by hand bring back some of the ultra intense aqua/teal/turquoise that was beyond even what the scanner seemed able to capture. I have TPM main trailer already out. And will in time have all the prequel trailers out as well as original 1976 SW trailer (have a temp version already out from a lightly faded Fuji print) and ESB US and German versions (German one is even unfaded Fuji print) and all the special editions trailers.

HD version now as well.

Demo of the first 18 minutes or so of reel 1 has been sent out to donors.

Update: JP scan now has over 24,000 frames processed since I hit a couple long consistent stretches that could be batched out.
