Nearsighted Scrappile

Thanks, Mackey.  Sorry for the trouble!  That classic must be found!

Can it be corrected for the end result of the project?  Does it need to be corrected?  I understand framerates, but not flags and scripts and such.

I haven't the faintest idea.  Anyone care to chime in?

As far as I know, the best quality footage of the extended version of Halloween is indeed the Anchor Bay release.  It's unfortunately riddled with scratches and whatnot, but at least there is a BD source for the film proper now.

The YouTube footage is on par with the quality of what I have.  It looks a little "better" than mine because the viewing size is smaller of course, but the AR and everything is essentially the same.  I still think though, in the end, my footage would be higher quality for the project, simply because of the source compared to it being off the net.

AntcuFaalb said: Is the 8mm footage just crappy or does it also suffer from digital video artifacts, e.g., blocking?

 

All of the above, unfortunately.  It's a real shame because for the first time in years, a Halloween film was feeling "connected" to the beginning story.  Perhaps the footage can still be used somehow, but I'm just not sure how.  Like maybe it was "newly discovered" and disclaimed as "highly damaged" or something.

Also, for the UPDATES portion, can we have the source media listed?  Such as (DVD) or (BD)?

For the record, I love both video clips and can't wait to see the final product!  The scene being De-ronto'd is pure magic, and aside from the last 3 seconds, the menu animation is awesome!

Yeah, I'm a little confused too, Mackey.  Do you mind clarifying what you meant?

Also, I have a bootleg DVD of Halloween Resurrection called Halloween Homecoming.  The quality is absolutely terrible, but the beginning contains 8MM footage of Michael as a boy and family.  It is rather creepy and it's a damn shame it wasn't used in the final cut.

Oh dear.  That could create problems.

Hello!

I was wondering if anyone had done or thought of a "blending" so to speak, into one film, the best (in my opinion anyway) elements of Halloween?

My idea consists of using the extended version of Halloween, followed by Halloween II in it's entirety, then ending it with the death of Laurie Strode from the first portion of Halloween Resurrection.

I know NOTHING about putting such a thing together, so how would any of you experienced folks do it?

Time to find those hip-high wader boots....  :)

I dunno how, but my bookmark for this thread got misplaced!  Time to catch up!  I look forward to seeing the next upload!

As someone that enjoys preserving old vinyl and tape, consider this thread bookmarked.  :)

Before seeing the movie, I got the comic adaptation which featured a scene after the bacta tank with the medical droid taking a bandage off of Luke's face.  I saw it in the theater and said "that's not what it looked like in the comic book!" Other people who saw the movie at the same theater commented on the scene as well referring to the bandage as a "sheet of ice."

The footage of the bandage removal is indeed included in one or two of the early trailers, before the massive task of cutting the film together began.  It is possible that you saw the trailer in the theater some time before the film, then, well you know the rest.

Kudos on the comparison pics, Harmy!  It was a fantastic look!  I'd like to add it once it's corrected to the share folder when the BD is released!

D'oh!  I can confirm the lack of automatically going from 1 to 2.

If George Lucas WANTED to restore the originals, he would.

^^ Fixed.  I think what Frogneck wants and what at least some LFL employees want are entirely different things.

That's correct.  I have preserved the vinyl releases for these from factory sealed copies, which was tough and took a long time.  Unfortunately, the film version of Lapti Nek has NEVER been released, making the film itself the only source.

It doesn't matter to me anyway (yet) since every single link I was given is dead.  I'd like to have this.  Someday.  :)

Can you PM them to me?  Every single one I have does not exist.

The new one is not zipped, and I had no trouble with it.  I am seeding at full throttle now.

Thanks again, Puggo!

I joined the spleen swarm.  For anyone that doesn't have it yet, it's gonna get a lot faster so hang in there.

*EDIT*

Or maybe not.  The download speed is VERY erratic right now.  Hopefully it will stabilize soon. 

Oh FFS....

Thanks for the update, rnranimal.  I'll gladly help with my fiber-optic connection, but I need to have the thing to do it!

I don't see it on MS, that's why I asked.
