Anthony Daniels Quote: (from SiriusXM CV Interview 2010.08)

"I was wearing it (the 3po costume) about nine months ago for a project which will become clear in time."

Was originally thinking Star Tours 2.  But there were reports of that filming in May of 2009.  So maybe something for the blu-ray or maybe a SW Celebration DVD extra.  All speculation on my parts.

 

Well the new Currys Christmas TV ad campaign features 3P0 & R2 so this could be what he was referring to ?

http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/3187874/Star-Wars-robots-battle-with-Earth-technology-in-new-Currys-advert.html

I have but a few on the ignore list. I guess there must be malfunction in the settings I wasn't aware of so and so on the ignore list. I can't be asked to look into it, because I have better things to do than talk about STAR WARS again, the bluray is going to be mega crap for HD picture and sound in dts

Funny how some people were suddenly taken off his ignore list when he logged back in here. This guy is full of crap.

After watching a couple of his youtube videos it is easy to see that this guy has some serious issues. And he's supposed to be only 43? He looks more like 63. I'm the same age as him and seeing him made me feel ancient.

I'm actually starting to prey that the Star Wars Blu-Rays do have DTS audio now because i can't wait for his head to explode.I wonder if he will come back here to start it all up again if they do have DTS.

He's got all that equipment and claims to be all knowledgeable about audio yet he his surround speakers next to his L & R and is listening to it in a small room with no form of acoustic dampening (or is it filmed from his padded cell?). All that power would sound like shit in that room.

I've been taking off the Jedi Temple34's ignore list. 

As have I!

ha ha, i haven't. And i doubt he'll ever take me off. I guess that, even though he is British, he just doesn't get the good old British sense of humour.

Jaitea, where did you get the "Luke" from in that video?

Well Jedi Temple has been spouting the same crap about DTS one some of my youtube clips. But the good thing is that you can now finally see just who this douche is as he has posted videos of himself listening to DVD audio tracks

http://www.youtube.com/user/EmpireLS56KW#p/u/15/zcvdZkqoxts

And , as he is ignoring most of us, he will never know he's been discovered. lol

But geez, this guy is the same age as me?

you cannot create a AVCHD or a Blu-Ray without the black matte bars. For a 720p movie the video has to be 1280 x 720. So you cannot remove the matte bars as they have to be added or the vertical resolution will not be 720 it would be 546 so not AVCHD or Blu-Ray compliant. It also does not make the image any smaller by adding them. That's impossible unless your monitor is screwing up the aspect ratio. The image will look the same size whether it has the bars or not.

EDIT: Harmy beat me to it

Am I correct in saying that this shot is unique to the special edition?



Ady, you restored the original, how about it?

yes, that shot of Lando is unique to the SE

Would you OK this screen capture for the blu-ray?

kenkraly2007 said:

None that's a good screen capture I like it but add episode 4 a new hope to the title.

none said:

Now do you want to know why Lucasfilm will not approve that screen capture?

kenkraly2007 said:

Yes I do none.

doubleofive said:

A bunch of new photos up, a couple I have questions on:



Did they really just change the color of the letters?



Does this really cross-fade now, or is it just Wookiegroomer's?

yeh, they changed the letter colour and added scan lines. That last one if just wookiegroomers. Looks like blended frames were used for deinterlacing. It isn't on either the SKYHD or the German premier sources

Maybe you should change the title of this thread from

Finally had chance to have a look at the site. Great work there Zombie. I did notice a mistake when you were talking about the original emperor in my HD edit. It wasn't taken from a rare HD version of the '97 version as one doesn't exists. I used a hi res screenshotl of the chamber background and upscaled the emperor from a 97 SE SD TV broadscast then rotoscoped the original emperor, adding it to the HD background.

tough luck with editing your post kenkraly, i'd already quoted you

kenkraly2007 said:

Jesus, is no one allowed to express an opinion or present facts without idiots like you shouting "GL bashing" all the damn time. Maybe i should explain this in a way you can understand after looking at your posts:

the films wil not Get there culoors fixed four the blue rays. Peepol have scene the latest vershion and the coloors are stil fooked. Thay wil not fix somfink that thay hav alredy sed woz deliberat and didnt neeed fixing

want evidence? In this thread alone:

kenkraly2007 said:

Thanks for the info none and I do think the blu-rays will indeed be fixed.

kenkraly2007 said:

Yes Puggo jar jar I do think secretly they actuallly do agree with us that they were mistakes. But other people think otherwise so who knows. 

kenkraly2007 said:

puggo jar jar I just belive this time around LFL will correct their mistakes.

kenkraly2007 said:

 

I do belive that the colors will be fixed as well. Their is a beleaf by some people that the colors won't be fixed.  The Colors can be fixed LFL will get it done this time around.

kenkraly2007 said:

 

good to hear bkev that's one good report that the colors for episodes 4-6 will indeed be fixed.

kenkraly2007 said:

What if they are fixed?

kenkraly2007 said:

Good points ChainsawAsh. I still though hold out hope that the colors will be fixed. 

kenkraly2007 said:

Will the color of the star wars films episodes 4-6 be fixed for the blu-ray release? That is the big question. I tend to think they will be but I want to get some opinion from the star wars fans on here. Some fans say they won't be however some fans say they will be. I understand people are upset with the colors. What if they will be fixed? So what's your take on this?

that is almost every thing you have posted in this thread. Notice the similarities?

and then you post this right after.

kenkraly2007 said:

Allright adywan you made you point loud and clear but my opinion is that the colors on the blu-ray of episodes 4-6 will be fixed and that is that. 

i rest my case ma lord.

So where is your evidence that you are going to be correct then? People have given you the evidence to prove against what you believe but you haven't given one shred of proof to back your case up. Before accusing people of bashing Lucas and telling them to shut up maybe you should yourself shut up until you can provide us with anything tangible that will back up your case.

Kenkraly, you really do seem to have a very blind faith that LFL care anything about what the fans think. If they did we would have had the restored HD versions of the original unaltered trilogy and not a 1993 laserdisc transfer. Even when the mistakes with the audio on the 2004 DVD's were clearly pointed out they came back with the most lamest of excuses that these were "deliberate creative decisions".

Here aresome of the reasons why it's pretty certain that the colours won't be fixed for the Blu-Ray release:

1. The colour altering was done BEFORE the transfers were sent out to Lowry. So to fix the colours they would have to go back to the original pre colour altered masters, then pay Lowry again to clean up the prints. This isn't going to happen as it was stated ages ago that they already have the HD versions ready for the blu-ray, which is more than likely going to be the exact same versions as the HD broadcast versions.

2. Money. If GL says that it's too expensive to restore the unaltered trilogy then he isn't going to pay to do another transfer just for the blu-rays when he has said he is happy with the way the 2004 versions looked

3. Evidence. People have seen the digital version for ANH at CV and the only thing that has been reported is that the green lightsabre didn't look green any more but the colour of the movie looked the same. So if the sabre isn't green then you can bet that this is the blu-ray version they will be using.

4. GL is more about making money with products having a high profit margin rather than making a quality product. He's spent money on the transfer already so spending more on it and having to start from stage 2 (after the scanning process) to return the OT to its original colouring would take a huge chunk out of those profits. He's a businessman now more than a film maker. He has become the one thing he was always fighting against

5. blinkered fans. Just look at how the 2004 DVD's were received by a lot of these sheep. They swallowed up all the bull that spouted by LFL about the quality of these DVD's. The "deliberate creative decision" for one and " they are George's original vision" for another. Whereas free thinking people that didn't go with this mindset were all just "moaners" and "they would never be satisfied". Lucas made a tonne of money with the DVD's and he knows he will do the same with the Blu-Rays no matter how crappy the OT looks, because of these set of fans.

Look at all the evidence in front of you kenkraly. If you're still so sure that these films are going to be "fixed" then there really is no hope for you i'm afraid. And, god man, you're starting to sound like a stuck record.

That's great news Jambe that you're on the final stretch. I can't wait to see this.

I didn't have any problems understanding 3P0 but i agree it is weird hearing a different voice. But that's just down to the fact of having already heard the original one.

I did spot something though. There is a something weird going on, like a stray frame,  on the video underneath the wipe at the end. Just look at the first few frames as the wipe starts and you'll see what i mean. Also, i forgot if you're working at 23.976fps or 25fps

Wow, it's gone a little mad in here recently. Can't we all just get along guys? Let's stop all the bickering. Not exactly what i really want to read when i come in here with everything going on.

Ghostbusters, i will never make money off these edits and i would never want to. It's not why i do them. Not only is it illegal it's just morally wrong to earn money from someone else's hard work. I only receive donations towards materials because there is no possible way i would ever be able to do these edits without it.

INVAR, almost all of the shots of the Wampa are to be replaced. Not much i can do about the arm when it strangles the Taun Taun or hits luke, but the rest i can do something about.

I need to read through all the other stuff when i get a bit more time free.

No, the colours of the OT at the Star Wars concert were exactly the same as the 2004 set. Only TPM had a really good restoration job done to it. The colours in that looked perfect and CG Yoda did look pretty good from the glimpses we got. It was reported by someone who went to CV that the Ep4 showing they managed to catch part of didn't look like it had Luke's green sabre but they weren't sure.

Don't forget that the colour changes were done by Lucasfilm Before they sent it off to Lowrey so i can't see them paying for another restoration

Sorry Andywan.  I've been overseas for a while and I forgot how paranoid Americans can be.  I see your point, but I've also been too busy for bulletin boards (not just this one, but in general) for several years and forgot just how microscopic the scrutiny of every word of a post gets.  I just don't have the time or desire to scrutinize the tone and wording of every post the way some people do here (or on boards in general).  I guess my thinking is still in European mode and an invitation to a very public and crowded place where no one is possibly going to come to any harm didn't strike me as weird or creepy or anything, and a request for a mobile number to facilitate said meeting also didn't strike me as strange.  As far as only talking about things in person... refer again to what I just said about scrutiny.

If you going to come across at me with that higher than thou attitude you could at least get my bloody name right. And i'm British, not American so your point is a fail there.

You see this is what really bugs me about what you are saying. You say you only want to talk to real preservationists and in person at somewhere like Star Tours. So, in your mind, anyone that lives outside of the USA is just not worth your precious time and can't be serious preservationists? Or do you think you are so important that anyone that is serious would spend hundreds of pounds and jump on a flight just so they could meet you?

But seriously, what is the big deal about only wanting to meet people in person? With todays technology the world has become a lot smaller. Why couldn't you start out by talking to these people in a video conference call on the net first? Wouldn't this be a simpler idea to start off with and you wouldn't alienate anyone that lives outside of the USA?

I'll never go back to AMD. the processing speed for video work is horrendous compared to the intel. At one point i would never have touched intel but AMD is now really aimed towards gamers so is not the maker of processors for me.

No. it's ok ghostbusters. Janskeet donated solely to upgrade the computer and that was his proviso for the donation. He had already donated towards materials when i was getting the Wampa fur.. I have what i need to work in 1080p for jedi but i need to concentrate on getting ESB:R out of the way first.

It's hard to put a ball park figure on how much would still be needed. A big expense at the moment is the liquid silicone for the molding process . This costs around £90 for a 5.5kg tub (approx 5 litres) and i have gone a tub already and that is with using it sparingly. It really doesn't go very far. I did try using vinamold, which is a reusable rubber,  but this caused hell of a mess and having to melt it in a pot caused a lot of problems in such a small flat even with the windows wide open, plus it had a high tendency for air bubbles. Then there is all the extra bits like liquid plastic, which is a lot tougher than using resin which is perfect for the trooper backpack stuff and other accessories. I may also need more fur. The plans changed a little since it was just going to be a head an shoulders puppet, but i really need to build half a suit that can be used as a puppet and also can be worn for some of the cave shots. Thats going to be fun because i have to build a partial cave set in my front room. Haven't told the wife yet. lol The main problem is that they don't sell the real fur pelts anymore and the only fake stuff that is any good i have to import from turkey (4 inch pile) and this looks exactly the same as the tibetan lamb fur i have so could be used for the body sections. Now this is cheaper than the real fur but it is still over £30 per half metre  and the postage isn't cheap either.And i would need at least 3 metres :(

Plus theres all the other little bits and bobs that all mount up. So i really can't put a close figure on it all. The only thing i can do is once i have everything i need then any donations i receive they will be automatically refunded

And muddyknees, yes that would be fine as long as no donations are taken for any copies of the DVD. If they want to donate on their own accord then that's fine.
