Glad I decided to check OT again after so long. This was the reason I kept coming back! Excited to see ROTP.

^Ryan is right. You’re not alone Dom. The last couple of years have been filled with a lot of lows for me too. Know you have friends in this community (including FE) that really care. It’s a crazy time right now, but we’re here with you.

Apocalypse Now? It’s got a pretty orange and green color scheme.

yeah, the most recent BD release has some regrading. It’s on my list. Thanks.

Hey guys, we (well not me) are working on an article on FE and could use some more examples of Color Grading and Color Correction. See below for original post over there:

I’m starting to pull together some clips and resources to talk about color grading, color correction, the difference between the two, and the impact that a colorist has on the emotional tone of a film. I’ll use this stuff in the first part of the video before I go into the mechanics of how to change color.

examples of heavily graded films (intentional extreme color):
O’Brother Where Art Thou
Mad Max: Fury Road
Schindler’s List

examples of films that have been regraded after theatrical release (where “color correction” can be used for preservation purposes)
The Matrix
Lord of the Rings trilogy
The French Connection

Classic modern orange/teal examples:
Star Trek Into Darkness
Transformers - Revenge of the Fallen
The Imitation Game
Hot Tub Time Machine

More examples would be appreciated.

Quick question TVF - I’m guessing this is the article that ThrowgnCpr was recently proposing to do over there? But I can’t seem to find the post that you’ve quoted above, so can you let me know what forum section it was posted on please? Thanks.

By the way, I haven’t got enough time to rant on about my own thoughts on the wholesale re-colouration of some of my favourite movies over the years at the moment (either deliberately by certain directors, or carelessly when transferred to blu-ray)…but there’s a heap of maddening info. to be going on with in this old thread for starters - www.originaltrilogy.com/topic/Movies-with-wrong-color-grading-UPDATED/id/15873//page/1

This was just a message to staff. Feel free to PM me at FE if you want to discuss in detail. Thanks to Frink for posting the query here. It looks like standard OT business over here…

Is anyone reading this?  I wish I knew if this had support.

I just called Disney and told them to make my cauldron blacker.  They hung up on me.

thanks for the review!  glad you enjoyed it.  FYI, this project is in 2.0 stereo, not 5.1 surround.  There was no 5.1 to work with.

awesome!  thanks so much for the kind words, Tobar :)  I'm glad you are enjoying the discs.

if anyone has an account over at IFDB, we'd love for you to share your reviews there too:

http://www.fanedit.org/ifdb/component/content/article/87-fanedit-listings/custom-special-edition/940-star-wars-bounty-hunter-beyond-the-game-2-0

It looks like this is finally out there!  up on the spleen, and links should show up on fanedit info soon.

they don't have punctuation where we're going...

Looks like another stream of posts last night.  I hope you don't get too backed up trying to keep up with everything.

woot!!!  maybe I can show my face around here now without being so ashamed of being behind on this project!!!  I can't wait for y'all to see this.

Sound sync of reel 3 is complete.

Next I'll start in on the minor repairs for reel 1.

awesome!!  thanks for the update, Puggo :)

The ones at Microcenter are nice quality. I've picked up 6-disc and 2-disc Blu-ray cases there.

You can get cheap cases on eBay, but quality really varies, and it's hard to know what you're getting.

ROFLRICK said:

But even my retail Blu's look like this, too. 

Yeah, I've noticed that retail Blu covers don't fill the case either.

very nice.  and great idea Reave.  I found OT several years ago (looking for theatrical versions, plus preservations like the holiday special), right when FE was forming.  Made some great friends both places.  Hope to see both places thrive *together* in the future :)

EyeShotFirst, that box would be sweet.  You have plans for actually making one?  would love to know how.

 

Unfortunately I won't be able to any time soon. I need to get a new printer, since mine is pretty much useless.

I will include a template and a readme that will show how to make the box for those who want to do their own.

great! thanks ESF :)

EyeShotFirst said:

ChainsawASH did the 90 box set, so I've decided to tackle the 92 box set.

Fantastic job EyeShotFirst!  So, you are making these with Blu-ray dimensions??  want!

or even a TPM project? :)

20th Century Mark said:

Might be time for a new Wookie Groomer split screen!

I was thinking this same thing!  It would be great to see all the different versions on 1 screen. theatrical, 97 04 11.  Sort of like Uncanny Antman's Blade Runner disc.

i would give this a watch too.  It would be nice so that you could tweek it a bit so that only new additions show up.  There are obvious slight color differences or minor shifts in the frame that will show up, but these really aren't changes.  You can see this on your preview of R2D2 - all the lines around him.  It would be nice if only the new boulders and shadow showed up in the print.  just a thought.

agreed!!!  Thanks for the updates Puggo.  Your preservations are the main reason I keep checking this forum :)

what's funny, is the first response to that thread back in 2008 is moth3r:

There are at least two other edits I know of that combine all 3 prequels,...

"didn't see that, mine was first!!!"

I can probably get this back on MU and MS if all links are dead.
