I have 63 screenshots of varying sizes of particular sequences from the film. Then ImperialFighter, to save space, will just comment saying "Shot 7 is where blah blah blah" so if they get separated it could be very confusing.
Ady didn't want to take over the forums with yet ANOTHER Revisited thread, so we're trying to intregrate them into the ones we already have.
Alright, ImperialFighter and I are in our final stages here, and hopefully IF can approve the final tweaks and we can get this posted this afternoon (tonight for those in the UK). We were still pondering ideas on how best to post this. I could post them all on here in 4 or 5 parts, then ImperialFighter would comment on them and you'd have to flip back and forth if they were separated. Or we could take over GoodMusician's Suggestion thread for a bit and just have my pictures and ImperialFighter's commentary over there, with the discussion continuing over here. Whatever is best for Ady, of course.
As long as you own the components that comprise the edit (namely, the 2004 DVD) then technically the download is not illegal. Or so I've been told.
Just an example from the screenshots I've been taking for ImperialFighter:
Heck, here's a shot from RotJ that has seven Star Destroyers with two different colors!

Never Noticed that, And what's with the "Yellow glow" on Luke's X-Wing?
Just another bit of inconsistant engine lights. From every Star Destroyer having white lights in this movie as opposed to blue in ANH and ROJ, to the Executor's lights going from red to orange and back, to the Falcon having blue light sometimes (especially noticable in the SE shots) to having yellow or white most of the other time.
Consistancy is all I really want from ESBR.
Hotlinked
Honestly, all I want is "Masters of Teres Kasi 2"
That's fantastic, and oh so true.
Kind of like Soulcaliber 2 with Link for the Gamecube version, Heihachi Mishima (from Tekken) for the PS2 version, and Spawn for the Xbox version.
Only this time it's Vader for the PS3 and Yoda for the 360, with Vader's Secret Apprentice from The Force Unleashed on both.
I just can't believe they put them on the box. It'd be like Tony Hawk 3 having Darth Maul and Wolverine on the cover...

You'd be surprised at what motion stabilization and proper color matching of sources can acccomplish. I think using the GOUT PWNAGE avisynth script, upconverted to 1080 lines of resolution would look just fine. I'm just speaking from experience, watching test encodes mixing 480p non-anamorphic and 1080 high def images. Especially when it will just be the cloud car element, put through a stabilization script, I think you can pull it off easy. Then again, maybe an entirely new fx shot is necessary.
I think that since the clouds need to be redone in one of the shots anyway, Adywan might as well just rebuild this whole shot from scratch.
The shot in question, for those lost:
The shot with the same clouds reversed:

A bit off-topic, but here's something from ComingSoon.net:
ComingSoon.net caught up with DreamWorks Animations CEO Jeffrey Katzenberg on Tuesday and learned that George Lucas is looking to repurpose the six "Star Wars" episodes into 3D format.
Katzenberg told us that Lucas is very excited about it and that he's got the technical resources to pull it off. "He isn't going to put a product out, I think, that isn't anything other than first rate," Katzenberg said.PT and SE OT badness...right in my face! I have no idea how people would go about editing them. Haha. Might be more about simply removing things rather than full effects editing and such, unless they have access to the same 3-D technology so their work won't look out of place with the rest.
Ok, back to ESB...
I wasn't going to mention it, but since you did I just want to point out Katzenberg's quote about Lucas: "He isn't going to put a product out, I think, that isn't anything other than first rate."
I laughed out loud.
1. Toy Story 2
2. Finding Nemo
3. Toy Story
4. Monsters, Inc.
5. The Incredibles
6. Ratatouille
7. Cars
8. A Bug's Life
Not seen WALL·E yet because my wife is afraid it'll make her cry. She gets misty during the previews just hearing "Waaaaall eeeeee." ;-)
Star Trek Remastered never affected the plot, only enhanced it. They tried to fix mistakes and redo the space effects, not make the Gorn shoot first. Sure, some of the motion is pretty bad, but overall I think STR worked out rather well.
I love Ewan McGregor's performances in the prequels, but I have to say that he had some duds of lines. A coworker and I are on a kick where we yell at each other:
"But haven't you noticed?! The shields are still UP!"

There was some talk a little while ago about a multi-disc cover for this set. Did anyone finish one?
I adjusted doubleofive's cover - the one that looks like the Vintage action figure cards - to list the features of both DVD-9 and Purist but I haven't uploaded it anywhere. 005 - OK with you to post it?
The rest of the ones I've seen have been either DVD-9 specific or generic enough that it could work for any version, single or multiple.
Yeah, Ziz, do it!

1080p will be awesome. i've only got a 720p screen but I'm bound to upgrade in the next year or so. presumably it will be available inkv format. this seems to be the format of choice for these monster files.
dunno why u guys bother with discs with their fail rate and compatibility issues. just hook up a pc/laptop to your tele.
Because I can't hand a 12 GB avi to a friend as a present. :-P
Honestly, I still have all the versions of ANHR (well, the NTSC versions), and I probably will have all of the versions of ESBR as well. Heck, I'll probably burn a DVD-9 Blu Ray disc even though I don't have a Blu Ray player. I know I'm tempted to for Ady's unaltered versions right now!

doubleofive said:
Are you thinking about DVD-DL Blu Ray playable disc?
Oy, that would definitely be an online purchase for me, since the hicks in my half-a-horse town probably don't know that such a thing is possible. And how many have Blu-Ray recorders? The few here that do would be working overtime on that.
I meant the DVD-DL versions that Adywan is putting the 1080p unaltered (well, unaltered from 2004) that plays normal on a Blu Ray player.
How many versions are you thinking about here, Ady? 1080p uncompressed avi, DVD-9 Blu Ray, DVD-9 NTSC, DVD-9 PAL, DVD-5 NTSC, DVD-5 PAL, and XVID? Are you hoping to finalize the film first so we don't have so many differences like between the XVID, DVD-5, and DVD-9 of ANHR? This all sounds like a lot of work for you!
adywan said:
I think i may be changing my mind about doing this in 720p.
Anyone fancy 1080p instead?
The downside to this is that it will take longer to finish due to considerably longer rendering times
The answer you're looking for is "yes". I mean I only have a 720p screen, but we could always scale it down ourselves if we needed to.
Are you thinking about DVD-DL Blu Ray playable disc?
HotRod said:
Shouldn't Vaders Star Destroyer be somewhere around Hoth anyway?
Just thinking about it that's all. I mean, we don't see any sign of the Super Star Destroyer when either the Rebels or Han & Co leave the planet.
An excellent point, which ImperialFighter will express directly in the next week or so.
adywan said:
But i think i may hold off releasing these now for a while. I need to do something a bit different or it will be a waste of time. I may do some basic colour correction on the OT. I may replace the Emperor in ESB with the original and return the Anakin force ghost in ROTJ to that of Sebastian Shaw.
Can't... release... crappy... quality... Must... fix...
Sounds like Ady to me!

I am of course looking forward to this. But isnt this distrating you from Empire revisited? Uses mind trick "You will work on Empire Revisted."
No. I needed a small break from ESB:R because i've got to the planning stage now and i'm looking through the movie to list things that need to be don & how i can achieve things. This project can be done at the same time as ESB:R because once all the fine tuning is done it can be rendered without taking up much of my time on ESB:R
Glad to hear you're in the planning stages. ImperialFighter and I are almost done with his analysis of... well, im not sure exactly. I have all of the "what" of the screenshots he wanted, but every time he sends me the "why" it gets lost in cyberspace...
There's going to be almost 40 screenshots he wants me to post, so what would be the best way to do this, you think? Should we make another thread just dedicated to it? I don't want to take up that much space in this thread if few people really want to scroll through all that.
This is awesome, but since I took the "wrong step" into HD I'd rather just stream it to my 360, which I think I can do already. Besides, the wife would kill me if I bought more DVD-9s and a Blu Ray player just for this. :-P
adywan said:
sorry been realy busy working on ESB:R pretty falt out along with a sideline project that i will be announcing shortly which should please PS3 and Blu-Ray owners :)
I look forward to hearing what this "sideline project" is about, because I have not yet made that step. Well, I made that step, just in the wrong direction. ;-)
Maybe they charge some places because you aren't the first person to think they charged for them, but they were definately labelled free on my standee. I was thinking of grabbing more, like a bunch...
