I do speak for myself. Read my post again. -.-

As much as I appreciate what you're doing to other restoration projects, I hate the attitude of "I'm doing something awesome, and you're never going to see what, because reasons!". It's cool you don't want to share it. No, really. But starting up whole forum dedicated to the project? You want attention, but you're not going to do anything to deserve it.

What's the purpose of showing a couple of previews in 2014, if this thing will be released in 2076?

They could scan the original miniatures to make the CGI versions as accurate as possible?

 ^I read that line in the Anchorman style of "I'm Ron Burgundy?"

If they're including the Falcon, they should totally rebuild it with some differences to account for all those years of faithful service. Then they could build a life-sized version and after they are done filming it can be a tourist attraction.

OH MYYYYyyyy!

ESB is my personal favorite as well, But I really don't know where I'd begin that one. The highlights are even more crushed there than in ANH, so the broadcast version may not even fix that issue. Plus as you said there isn't anything to base it off of, colorwise. So I'm not even considering that right now, unfortunately.

I've also sent some money over. I don't know if it's enough though - for all I know it might've ended up as just 0.20 CZK or something...

 Thanks for sharing your 2 cents.

Donated. Wish it could have been more.

 Same here.

Calvin sums it up for me:

The writer is also not too far off the mark.

In short, I've just upgraded my entire system and and editing software, so the previous settings which were used for the DVD (and ported to the Blu-ray) are woefully outdated, and are being rebuilt from scratch. This is a good thing, as I've found better and simpler ways to achieve the same (or better) results. For example, I've found a way to change the color of of certain gradients which were inaccessible with the original settings. However I'm happy with the look of the previous examples, so they shouldn't change too terribly much in the final version.

We're still on track to get this sorted by the end of the month, from there I'll give the ETA for the completed project.

Great, now you made me think of this:

And then one night...

I quite liked Ender's Game. I don't remember too much from the book, but it was quite faithful to what I remember. It makes me want to see a sequel. That final test was really epic, and is better suited to a movie than a book. It's hard to describe complicated maneuvers like that in words, they've got to be seen.

I wouldn't go that far.

Never seen most of these scenes though. I guess they were omitted from the DVD?

Great work Duracell, now there are two of them. :P

I assembled my current desktop PC about three years ago for about this much (i7, GeForce GTX 260, 6 gigs of ram), and it's still perfectly capable of handling multiple layers of uncompressed Blu-ray video. That's not including the monitor though, that alone could be quite expensive. Do you have any components you could re-purpose, or is it completely from scratch?

What was the point of making everything look McQuarrie accurate if the animation is going to look this cheap and awkward?

DISTINGUISHING CHARACTERISTICS

A cult of Nicolas Cage Worshipers turns into a major religion with the death of their lord and savior Nicolas Cage. In the official church doctrine, it is believed that the entire universe is the body of Nicolas Cage, of which they are a part. Thus they believe in other realities, but they think that they cannot escape from this one, believing themselves to be "in a Cage".

FINAL NOTES

This religion is quite secretive, and in fact they describe themselves as being quite cagey.

I'm having the same issue.

It claims that the site may be too busy.

It's clearly Deathsticks guy after he rethought his life and Hypnotic Penn.

Everything's up and running now, and I'm evaluating Premiere Pro CC at the moment. It runs quite fast, and there are a lot more options to sort through.

Here's a different test run on Premiere Pro to try and rescue as much shadow detail as possible. The broadcast is no help in this regard, so it's all from the Blu-ray:

It's a subtle change, so here's the before and after histogram:

As you can see, there's still some absolute black, but almost everything else is now out of that zone. Now all that needs to happen is integrating the previous Broadcast settings, and the blown out sections will be good.

Billions of years ago

DISTINGUISHING CHARACTERISTICS

After a last-minute change of plans, this universe was set up to not allow people to ever forget their pasts, leading to a universe of people who fully realize why they are here and what they are supposed to do. Earth, as well as all other places in this timeline, has always been and always will be a paradise.

FINAL NOTES

People from that timeline frequently use their advanced technology to take vacations in timelines which allow forgetfulness, such as our own. If you ever encounter such a person, remember that they have probably forgotten where they put the keys to their time-space mobile.

Perhaps I missed something in the conversation, but it's stupid because we're out in space, watching events unfold.  If "space sound" is heard in the ship, fine, whatever, but why would we hear it outside the ship?

I was only talking about sound inside of ships. Sound outside of spaceships shouldn't need an explanation, as it's the default way of depicting space in these types of movies.

Why is it a stupid explanation that the ship simulates noises for the benefit of the occupants? As I said before, it makes sense to give enemy ships a distinct sound so that gunners and pilots can orient everything in space. Imagine how disconcerting it would be to have to coordinate a defense from both hemispheres of the Falcon, especially without sound to guide you. All you have is the tiny monitor with little arrows for ships, and the windows don't exactly give a panoramic view of space.

I will fully agree that it's unnecessary to actually state this process, but I think it's quite clever as far as retcons go.

That's the reasonable assumption, but the plot of the OT hinged on the Emperor using dangerous Force sensitives for his personal gain.

Oh come on, that's not even canon. Keep to the official story please, the one where IG88 foments a galactic droid rebellion and takes control of the Death Star 2 to take pot shots at Rebel cruisers.
