Looks pretty solid to me besides some wonky lighting on Luke/Biggs in some moments of 2nd half of part 2 (like at 2:05 of the video). Still far better than anything else out there.

yeah I tried fixing it, was a bit of a pain. Maybe someone else can fix it

oojason said:

That is some seriously impressive work, Sky_. Love the comparisons and ‘how-to’ as well. 👍
 

Thankyou Man. I did get a bit Lazy in some areas, which I need to go back and fix , I just got fed up with, but thank you. More coming soon

That’s a great restoration! Will you eventually be sharing final versions of your videos, so other editors can use them?

Once they are all done, they will be available without logos for people to do what they want with them

Absolutely amazing! Although the Holiday Special gets a lot of (exaggerated) hate within the fandom, I still very like certain bits of it - especially this part.

Hay man Thanks for that, and thank you for watching and commenting dude

Star Wars Vintage Story of the Faithful Wookiee Trailer 4K (2.39:1) aspect ratio COMPLETED

https://youtu.be/HzDGfJvwhYU

In this project, I’ve transformed the original 4:3 square aspect ratio of this classic animation into a cinematic widescreen format. This was achieved through editing in Photoshop and After Effects, where the background was carefully extended while preserving the original composition to maintain its authentic look and feel.

benduwan said:

in the empire and jedi trailer / teaser are short unused treasures. do you restore the trailer too? 😃
and will you colorized the black and white scenes?
thank you so much to spend so many time to restore these scenes.

Haven’t looked at Restoring the Trailer, but I am colorising the BW Footage

Hi, Sky,

Apparently books contain a lot of stuff. I too originally thought they were just text and/or audio, but then I read the discussions here and on the other forum, and it turns out that the books contain text, audio (sounds, music, etc) and video (more dropped footage and scenes).

Otherwise, this scene has become super - as others I’m in favour of fixing Luke’s face, and also in one shot I thought there were more visible uncleaned scratches. But this is really great work of yours!

PS: As I wrote above, I’ll also be happy with a ‘special edition’ version (with all ‘extra craps’) of the scenes when they are completely ready 😃

Yeah I read your earlier comment I will do the extra stuff once I’ve done a full clean plate, Can I get this other footage your both talking about

benduwan said:

Nice done with this.
But it seems in Lukes binocular are 2 stardestroyer.
But there is only 1 that chase the Tantive.
Do you restore the unused scenes from Rinzlers ebooks too?
I would be glad about this.
Thank you very much.

Remind me again about Rinzler’s ebooks? isnt that audio only?

yeah there are 2 Star Destroyers. My honest answer is, I don’t know why I did that lol

This looks completely incredible. The CG Luke’s face animation is perfect. But the color is wrong; his face needs to be darker and more saturated. Just my two cents.

Yeah, many have said this on YouTube. I will fix that, and thank you

Thats incredible, maybe just composite the shadows and coloring matching the reference and it should look good. Don’t know much about blending but maybe this can be used for other deleted scenes too… maybe deepfake could also help

Hay thanks for the Message. The Problem with DeepFake is that It needs a Face to Latch onto, There is no information in the original shot that it would understand where to put the deepfake, I’ve Tried

THIS IS REALLY Excellent Work my dude
It’s Always amazing seeing other people tackle this awfully Damaged deleted footage
I can learn a lot from the process you’re doing in certain places on my Repair work

GREAT WORK dude 😃

kg1977 said:

really great stuff here. Seems like you had a long break from your initial 2018 postings, glad to see your back at it here in 2022…BTW it is your work that inspired me to take focus to the deleted scenes and even my extended versions, so very excited to see your latest.

but seeing yours now I see it can be done (I would not use the turbines, but your landspeeder model as a base for texture from footage on top of that verses a different skin might work (I would leave out the engine in that initial running in shot or at least go just a mesh and dark as opposed to turbines spinning but that is just me. The original does not show the rear engine, so kind of threw me when I first saw it, but it certainly is clean work you are doing with CG.

…but I see you use of 3D CG used in a good way and it makes me re-think. I do think the houses in the background of treadwell and like scene where he is miles out in the desert are too must as the scene works without all that I think. I live around farm land and it just goes for miles with nothing, so feel that is more real for a desert farm, but each has their own take so I am not knocking, just I don’t think you need all those extra elements. If you are offering later 2 versions for people… that works.

Your usage lately w/CG as a compliment to fix damaged stuff is really great use case though. I do like the rear shot of the landspeeder that scene only has two shots and is very boring without some extra, the side shot in itself is really damaged and lots of under exposed, so not sure how yours will look, but interested in that one. Keep up the good work. Also like your luke in the cave fix for ROJ deleted scene. The shot of R2 and like side view looks great.

Thanks for this Detail Message… just Looked at yours now and it looks pretty awesome… It’s always nice to see other fans doing stuff like this, cos to be honest looking at my own work kind of gets boring and seeing others do a similar thing is always refreshing and inspires me and I’m always learning from other people by looking at their work

It’s very flattering to hear that I inspired you, that’s the best compliment anyone can get… so Thankyou

you also mentioned my long break, the truth is I didn’t take a long break, what happened was I hated my work, with all the extra buildings, etc and overall it was a poor job… Some people on here hated it and told me about it, It kinda upset me as i had put so much hard work into it… BUT THEY DID ME A FAVOUR… they weren’t being nasty or anything negative, They were showing me things I didn’t see… THEY WERE RIGHT… when I looked at my work I thought " what the hell am I doing, this looks like Crap" lol
so now if you’ve seen my previous posts ive removed all the extra crap, tried to keep it simple to its original form, and only added stuff when I absolutely had to, for example, to cover really damaged area or something like that…
So going back to the long break, I didn’t upload for a long time just because it was taking me so long to do, Frame by Frame clean up… I only started posting when I had something to post…

Just like now, I haven’t posted in a while, But I’m still hard at work on it every day after I finish work…

Thanks again and stay awesome my Dude
