that does look pretty bad. I recorded them from SKYHD but just haven't got as clue how to transfer them to my PC though. I just skipped to that scene and zoomed in to the sky and the macroblocking isn't there. I wonder if its been caused by their process of transfer. I know sky's quality has always been pretty bad compared to other countries but it doesn't look anywhere near as bad as that screen shot does

how are you burning them? i have noticed that the files aren't contained in a VIDEO_TS folder. If you are burning the files direct to disk without adding them into this folder then it won't play in most DVD players.
open nero and select "dvd video" then drag all the files into the VIDEO_TS folder on the left hand box and burn. Played perfectly fine in all 3 of my dvd players, or...
create a VIDEO_TS folder and drag the files into it. Use dvdshrink and import the video. then create an ISO image file and burn with dvddecrypter or your usual burning program

Yeh i have fixed this one by replacing obi-wan so it doesn't look like a dummy anymore.
oh, and please ignore the vader voice clip. i've posted the wrong clip.
. i added the partially renderd backing track for vader instead of the full version and uploaded that version instead. trust me, Vader will sound nothing like that when completed. the reason i'm tweaking it is because i feel that it lacks the depth that his voice has in the rest of the trilogy. it still just doesn't sound right in ANH to me. - Post

Would it be possible to post some full-resolution frames to check, or at least an assurance from you?
Here's a couple of uncompressed frames:
This has never bothered me in ANH because it can be seen as though he is just being a protective brother. And don't forget that there have been many cases in real life that a brother and sister feel attracted to each other when they first meet without realising that they are related, so i think George pretty much hit the nail on the head with this one. I may be toning down the kiss in ESB a bit though.

The shots in my first post were just prototype examples and were not what the finished shots will look like.
I left out that shot on purpose because this shot isn't finished yet. I'm building a new hand to add into the shot and i have removed the blood and cauterized the wound. I'm going to finish this shot afte Christmas when i have a bit more space and time to build the hand.

Would it be possible to simply show the arm without panning over to see the bloody end of it? That way Luke's visual reaction (his look downward) has a tangible object.

Yes i am still taking donations so i can get the second hard drive needed.
Ok, a quick update on how things are going. Colour correction is now fully completed & I have just over an hour of finished footage, with all the new effects, completed. I've toned down the cantina aliens in a few shots, theres a new docking bay 94 that now looks less like the half built Falcon is against a wall, all effect shots of the escape from Tatooine have been redone including giving the falcon cockpit the missing middle strut.
i'm having a few days break from effects shots and have been playing about with the sound, mainly Vaders. i've been tweaking it to try and get it to sound closer to the rest of the trilogy than it does now. Heres a quick clip:
edit: REMOVED LINK BECAUSE I POSTED THE WRONG CLIP.
The first section is how is sounds on the 2004 DVDs and the second is the new voice. This is only a rough version without all the ambient effects and i still have more filtering and levels to sort out yet (Vaders a little too quiet), but it should give you some idea of how Vader will sound in my version.
Well thats about it from me for now, i would just like to wish everyone here a Merry Christmas and hope you all have a great New Year.

i have increased the brightness & gamma but not an overall setting. I had to do it shot for shot with the colour correction because when i tried applying an overall correction some scenes showed too many artifacts. The brightness/contrast/gamma is all over the place with the DVDs. For instance, if you look at the scene where R2 is sucked into the sandcrawler, the levels in the dark areas change and using the same brightness settings throughout only enhances this problem, so i had to actually drop the black levels for a few of the shots to bring them in line with the rest. You could apply a global setting but you would have to check through it and fix the problem shots after, and believe me there are quite a few.lol

I just think this would be really cool to see. Maybe you could do it as one of your "extras" that won't be included in the actual movie.
With some clever editing of existing footage, you could probably pull this off. The only shot you don't have is the hook missing and bouncing off. Based on some of the other things you've pulled off, I wonder if you could "make" that shot.

this was something that i was thinking of adding into the movie when everything was just in the initial planning stages but was scrapped before i started any work on it. So this won't be appearing in the final edit.
I've finally finished the colour correction. But please don't expect it to be perfect. The colour is so bad on the DVDs that some shots are impossible to fix so i've had to settle for a good balance in those shots, but they're still an improvement from what they were originally. God knows what they have done to the film but in a lot of the trench run cockpit shots the cockpits are black and white with only colour appearing in the pilot. This has lead me to think that i was right all along about the new "blue cast" on the dvds. There is no way that this was a creative decision but put there to mask the colour problems with the DVD's. I've just done a quick MPEg rendering of the complete movie and i have to say i'm very pleased with the result when viewed on my 32" LCD TV. I played the original dvd side by side using the picture in picture function of my TV (having to stop and start to resync because of the extra footage that i have already added) and i don't think i could ever watch the mess that is the 2004 dvds again. Like i said, my colour correction isn't perfect but its a huge step up from the DVDs. i'll post a clip later so you can see just how nice it is looking now.

yeh, VLC will play most xvid without the codec, but i know that some people don't like to use VLC as their media player so thats why i pointed him to codec.

I agree with what has been said and there are a couple of the alien shots that need to be toned down a bit. I just compared the XVID that i posted to a quick MPEG encode i did and its surprising just how much the XVID compression has distorted the facial movements. I can see what Hal 9000 means by "underwater". I should have posted it with a higher bitrate encode but i needed to keep the filesize to a minimum because of the clips length. Apart from the 2 shots i'm redoing, i will be keeping the rest as they are now. You'll have to trust me that they look so much better in a better quality encode.

It is a normal part of the process, you put the effects in and you play it back and then after watching it a few times you start to tone it down, then after coming back to it after a while you tone it down further and eventually it becomes more natural.
Kind of like the SE's, at first viewing the extra saturation and detail has a wow factor, but on subsequent viewings the oversaturated and overly contrasty scenes start to grate on the eye. Slightly overemphasized effects can be the same.
i couldn't agree more.
Doing an edit like this it is going to be impossible to avoid some form of shot repetition because i have to use existing shots to create my effects. That Death Star sequence only uses the flip shot and then the final approaching stardestroyer from ESB so i wouldn't say that its heavy usage. All of the other SD's are stills of model shots not used in the films and 1 still shot from ROTJ. If you look at the OT there are already a few fimiliar shot repetitions. The sequence where the rebel fleet is about to go to hyperspace in ROTJ, the falcon does the same swoop pass towards the camera that it did in the asteroid field in ESB just in the opposite direction, The opening of Jedi mirrors the opening of ANH and even in the Death Star 2 battle they use an X-Wing explosion from ANH trench run, so things like this don't bother me too much. lol Also the number of stardestroyers will be staying the same in the final render. This is the lead up to the conference scene so i feel that there would be a few stardestroyers there because the officers have been summoned to this meeeting. You will see in the final edit that the next shot we see of the death star has only 1 stardestroyer and then when the death star leaves orbit and heads for Aldreaan then it is alone.

I know this is the big imperial intro for ANH but by borrowing the empire SD's so heavily, even changing the background means there is familiar shot repetition.
I like the opening. the ESB SD flipped. but I would cut down on the number of SD's around the DS and I would even probably eliminate the big background planet. just have the DS in space. the star destroyer is giving you your size for reference.

I guess i was rushing getting the clips out for the guys who donated and after you mentioned it i noticed that i have used older footage and not my final effects shot. The matte was too blurry on that one but i knocked the feathering down to give it a stronger and more natural edge. So the shot you see on that vid is not the finished shot.
The colour correction is proving to be a total headache to do. Some shots are so messed up that its almost impossible to do anything with them to look as they should. The blue tint to these films has been added for one reason and one reason only.. To help mask the disaster that the restoration work has actually done to the colours in this film, and not the pathetic excuse that has come from lucasfilm. Creative decision my ass. lol. hell of a lot of the shots look like the old B&W movies that have been recoloured. There just seems to be no gradient in the tones.
Trying to match colour balance between shots is impossible so i can only do the best i can so please don't expect miracles. Bens cloak, for instance, in the duel scnes changes colour all the time and trying to match that it from shot to shot is impossible because doing so knocks all the other colours off and looks horrible. So i can't really say that this edit will have colour correction, more colour interpretation. Its never going to look the way we all remember it unless Lucasfilm do it themselves and if i attempt to do this i would have to create so many masks for each colour section, of each shot, that this release probably would never see the light of day until the 40th anniversary.

yeh i'm going to replace the hand with the correct one and i have removed the blood and put a small heat glow on the wound. I've just got to build a new hand so i can add it into the shot first

Some suggestions for scene modifications.....if you havent already considered them....
Id be tempted just to remove this shot altogether it just looks fake and pulls you out of the Star Wars universe!
I'm keeping this shot in. i've done a bit of tweaking to it. i've balanced the shadows to remove the green tint to the speeder and a few other objects and removed the creatures that are on the left side of the frame completely.
thats already gone. its back to how it was originally now
How are you planning on handling this "comedy" scene??

Please Please Please remove this flying thing in the background, ever since it was put into the film in 04 it has distracted me from whats actually going on in the scene, its not necessary and I would pay to have it taken out of the film!!

I was going to redo this scene but i noticed that it actually takes place outside the cantina so i have taken this scene out of my edit.

Perhaps in a few more shots show burning debris of crashed Rebel and Imperial ships from previous shots? Just to help show once they crash into the Death Stars surface they don't just disappear? Maybe some twisted wreckage? Just a thought to add to the realism of your project. Sure hope this will be a DVD-9 release as well - it will surely be worth the download time.

The end battle is going to get the full treatment. I'm going to be filming some new model shots for background ships to give the battle more scope. So expect a larger and longer battle.

I love everything, but the cantina is INCREDIBLE!!!!! The amount of authenticity this adds to the scene is just staggering! For the first time, it actually feels real, instead of like a bunch of guys sitting in a room with masks on. Just a little tweak of the eyes and mouth adds SO much....wow.............especially Greedo! Very, very impressive.
I'd like to know about the process you used to accomplish this. Was it difficult or relatively easy?
I wonder if the same effect could be applied to the Neimoidians in an Episode I edit.

It was done by using the "mesh warp" filter in adobe after effects and by using seperate masks and layers. its was pretty difficult to get it right because of their movement but once i got use to it is wasn't too bad. i'm glad you like the clip.
