Behold the power of twitter. I posted these files back in April of 2011 and nobody noticed. Someone tweets about it tonight and 900 people all try to download them at once, causing the server to crash and be down for nearly an hour. If you couldn't get them because of that outage, I'm pleased to report the server is back up...

Fantastic websites there Williarob. Many thanks for the dload links on many of the files. There's a view videos like the Never Say Never Again premiere that don't have a link though and streaming doesn't work to great for me, could links be made?

 All the Bond videos now have a download link beneath them. Also, most of the shorter videos have been added to youtube.

If anyone has any James Bond magazines, articles, or rare clips they would like to donate to the site, send me a PM!

Thanks,

Williarob.

Do any of your prints have a BBFC certificate at the start? I'd love to see a grab of that, no matter how scuzzy!

(I'm starting work on reconstructing the theatrical opening - now where's Black Angel?)

Thanks Harmy!

That's cool. I'm not the seller either, but this looks like a nice print. Wish I had deeper pockets.

Mike, I have to applaud your for that video, truly excellent. The problem with forums (and emails) is that it is very hard to insert any kind of tone into a post. I am being sincere right now, but it would be just as easy to read this as being sarcastic, they are just words on a screen and it is up to the reader to give them tone, and they don't always read it in the same tone it was written - which often leads to arguments, rants and bad feelings unnecessarily.

By creating your video, you managed to get around that issue, and I suspect earned a lot more respect here than you had before, or would have by simply typing up your well thought out and heartfelt response, so well done.

I see no reason why Disney would not want to turn your efforts into a Blu-ray release and make a little money, but as I understand it, they would have to secure permission from or co-operate with 20th Century Fox, which owns distribution rights to both Trilogies until 2020, and Star Wars in perpetuity. Given Fox's reluctance to co-operate with Marvel over the X-Men franchise, I see this as the biggest obstacle between you, Disney and an official release of your work:

Maybe you can work something out with Fox. In any case, good luck to you and I wish you all the best. Looking forward to the live show tonight,

Williarob.

Here is the same shot from Team Negative 1's LPP (Raw, no clean up or color correction):

Well, somebody bought it (1 bid). Was it anybody from here?

Auction ends tomorrow:

not yet.

THAT looks good. I'd watch that. I noticed that in another thread you had broken down the scenes by frame numbers. I know it's tedious, but a scene by scene correction will always produce better results.

Good stuff!

Hybrid version made from median/average of two separate raw 35mm captures and 2 separate cleaned versions of those captures (1080p):

"No denoise, just upscale" looks great. Definitely the best, in my opinion - certainly the only one I would watch. The others are way too smooth, they look like a cartoon. Perhaps the denoiser works well in other scenes, but not this one.

Good work though, the upscale looks very promising.

Still looks like that movie "A Scanner Darkly", like the whole scene has been painted over.

What does it look like without any denoise filters?

Even on 35mm film the faces are still indistinct:

But at least it looks real!

I'll see if I can get it with the flyover too....

Would a nice 1080p version of the 1981 crawl, from a 35mm print help anyone out at this point?

Download it now.

Awesome, thanks for sharing. Do you have the audio file also?

I have the german one.

 

I'd love to hear it, would it be possible to pm me a link?

Awesome, thanks for sharing. Do you have the audio file also?

TheStarWarsTrilogy.com has posted some comparison videos with other versions of the Star Wars Holiday Special to find out "Is this now the best source of the Holiday Special?"

Anyone here bidding on this?

Good idea. Done.

A new, much better quality version is now live. Thanks for your help.

I followed the Star Wars.com link and it led to the same noisy version as the one on You Tube, however, you're absolutely right: It is on Disk 4 of the Editdroid special features, still green, but much better quality.

Thank you!
