Looks great, much improved! If I can make a few suggestions for improvement on your “molested” version:

I would flatten out the colors on the background elements, especially the doorways on the houses at screen left. Nothing would be this black in the far background due to atmospheric haze, airborne sand etc, and likewise the highlights would be more obscured. I’d bring up the black output levels on those elements and bring the white output down. In After Effects you’d do this by adding a Levels filter and move the black and white output sliders in toward each other a bit. Note on the original vaporators behind Luke, there are no very dark areas on them although Luke has some quite strong shadows on his white clothing, and the farther vaporator shows an even greater flattening with dimmer highlights as well.

You may also want to desaturate the colors slightly. Likewise, the added vaporator ground shadows are very dark, and too angled toward the horizon. They should be much more foreshortened with greater distance. Note on the original vaporators, the shadows are very faint, basically a darker shade of sand, and they extend almost straight out to screen left.

I hope this is helpful, overall your cleanup job looks amazing, this is just nitpicking from a guy who’s worked in visual effects for 20 years!

Thanks man for your input I will defo bare all these points in mind

Would be cool to see more of these things, whatever they are?

Exhaust vents?

I do like the idea of abandoned structures out in the desert. There could be entire ghost towns on Tatooine for all we know.

I like the idea of these vents, anyone know what these are called so I can Google them

Jackpumpkinhead said:

Have you also stablized these too?

Yeah as much as I can where it’s possible, I had to, the frames are all over the place. Some of them. I had to do manually frame by frame

How can i get this plzzzzzzzzzz

Great job so far dude! Ive always wanted these scenes cleaned up and inserted into the original film to reflect the book and comic I remember as a kid. I would prefer the clean version though. Look forward to the finished product.

there will be a clean version available as i mentioned in a earlier post but im only able to clean it like 80 percent or more due to the quality of the original

that looks awesome man, amazing job and also thanks for sharing the Lut i have no idea how you make them, all i know is how to use them

^…^ said:

Sure, but AFAIK Luke, in that scene, was near his home, not near Mos Eisley, hence there should be no houses, I guess.

That is true

pittrek said:

Restoration - great.
Adding the buildings is in my opinion similar to Greedo shooting first. Why would the moisture vaporators be between houses? That defeats their whole purpose

few people have said this but i feel there kinda wrong in some sense, them water vaporator are everywhere, i used original set pics for inspiration for that
examples below

sorry for the Double post. My sig shows up on my Mobile device but not on Desktop, but i can see other peoples sigs on both devices. why is this? unless you guys can see it

^…^ said:

Just saw the images added in the first post, and I repeat: amazing, great job!

Please note that, in this shot, you added some space on top, where it should have been some image on top of the vaporator, there is now empty space - my hint is to cut out at the same point of the original frame. I appreciate the shadow, that is barely visible in the original, but I’d rotate it towards left, taking subsequent shots as reference, because the shadows there are more visible (so, also shadows in next “molested” shots should be fixed). I know they are small things, but probably you wanted to know our opinions, right? 😉

I must admit that, after seeing your great work, it makes me want to work back on that “always delayed” extended version! 😄

Last thing: I like the “molested” version, apart houses that should not be there; but the rest is good, perfectly in line with the Special Edition. IMHO, you should release the “molested” version without the houses.

Eagerly waiting to see the next restored scene!!!

im aware of all that points you made including the Vaporator, that does not show in the video as this frame is a few pixels bigger than the video frame, and the rest of the points you made im working on them, currently at this very moment intime im working on the the conversation Luke and Bigss have outside the station, its causing me lots of problems due to the quality and colors, so im having to Rotoscope the crap out of it as that Auto roto in After effects is not doing a great job, actually its terrible maybe its because of the resolution and all the colors seems to be blending into one another… damn, its getting on my tits

Frank your Majesty said:


thanks man that worked, that info should have been written in original post

i get the dimension part that makes sense, but what to i need to before and after the image for it to appear
as everything im trying is not working im clearly doing something wrong guys… plz help

ALL OF THEM

thanks

Dude give me links to stuff your talking about

Does anyone have i high resolution of Luke and Biggs at Tosche Station from Bluray, i would export again from Bluray but I cant find my bluray for the past 2 years since we decorated out home, the only MKV files i was originally working from was what i exported back then, which i converted to mp4 then stills etc etc

wwdarth said:

Brilliant work! I’m guessing you roto’d Luke and Treadwell…cleaned them up…then entirely recreated the background?

Spot on dude i have an explanation for this in a earlier post
