Irony.

No, that's not really it. It's hard to tell from YouTube but look for specs of dirt - Since the CG shot that replaced this one in the SE used the same background, I replaced the parts of the background that were usable from the SE and then I cleaned up the the remainder of GOUT footage frame by frame in photoshop.

The melted bars thing really baffles me.  Presumably that was an actual on-set explosion and not a special effect added in post-production, right?  So why did somebody take it upon themselves to think it was not good enough?  Is this a case of "Reality Is Unrealistic"?  (as they say on TVTropes)  Somebody thought what was actually photographed didn't measure up to their conception of what it ought to look like, even though that's what it actually did look like?  And for just a couple of frames nobody would notice on their own?  What the heck is that about?

I trust you on this issue more than I would trust myself. Crap.

Hey guys I've been away forever. Can someone just give me the latest on when this edit is supposed to be released now? Thanks.

Harmy said:

As to the perspective, you'll notice that it changes when the focus changes, I'm pretty sure it's an effect caused by anamorphic cinematography. 

I'm surprised a classic villian won something like that, most of these cable awards shows are dominiated by Twilight and Transformers.

I actually used the 97SE.

I can't get it to work. Tried with the "Open the blast doors" audio from DVDActive. I'm not sure if it was because their levels were different or what.

I wondering if the tracks were 99% the same if only the changes would be evident. That wouldn't help for things coming out opposite speakers, but if you nested the whole tracks into mono tracks, then set one as Inverse, wouldn't it negate all of the sounds except the ones that didn't match?

A member here named Harmy is hard at work on using the HD versions of the films to recreate the original versions the best he can. I'd hate to advise a lady who came here to ask where to buy the original versions to download questionably legal ones, but they are the best possible versions out there without Lucasfilm releasing it themselves.

Joel will always be the best, I dunno wtf is with the Mike fans.

Looks good! I hope you can figure out the other shot...

I had a theory once. Something similar to your DIF project, but with audio. I know that you can make karaoke-type tracks by splitting a stereo file, inversing one of the tracks, then merging it. I wonder if there's something similar we could do that would eliminate all of the identical sounds and leave the changes...

2nd - the first group of gifs was good, but this second selection is priceless.  those shots of heath ledger are disturbing.  what the hell is going on with that orange hair and that purple pimp blazer he's wearing??!!  and is he performing in some sort of amphitheater with that microphone?  someone has to explain this to me.  i obviously haven't seen the movie...

You'll notice I said Sci-Fi, not Mike.  I prefer Mike myself.

That didn't trigger the flame war I was hoping for.

TV's Frink said:

Sci-Fi era episodes will never be as memorable as CC ones.

And I'm talking about a sketch, not an episode.

And as Crow would say - bite me.

<---- Winner!

Come on, "Space Mutiny" is way more memorable than "Hercules vs the Moon Men"!

At least I knew what show you were referencing!

Did you?  Thread evidence or didn't happen!

That random sketch should be burned in your brain ;-)

Also from a different episode....Johnny Longtorso.  He's LONG.

doubleofive said:

Are we going for "Big McLargeHuge" references?

TV's Frink said:

And you call yourself a MSTie...

So disappointed no one has figured this out yet (looking at you, OO5!).
