I’d wait, personally. As I am waiting myself.

Team Negative 1 has a scan where you find 4K77!

Finished my VisComp for Star Trek: The Motion Picture - The Director’s Edition DVD. There’s hundreds of tweaks I didn’t catch, but it goes to show you how subtle the original version was.

No, there isn’t. Ady said he would put one together, but he got distracted by doing all of the edits again.

They seem to have already taken it down, mate.
 

I’m looking right at it.

Happy Star Trek Day!

In celebration, check out TrekMovie’s review of the UHD set, which I agree with, especially the parts that talk about me.

So I think that’s how I think that’s how I got chosen because it was currently between projects. So the challenge was we weren’t always given all of the resources we would have liked. And we were also not, not always working with the keenest talent, including myself.

In case you didn’t see, Pablo Hidalgo fully endorsed our efforts!

Hah. I was gonna tag you to clarify because you’re the hands-down expert on such matters! 😃

Nevermind.

Watched the Pre-SE changes, which is not my speciality, of course.

I’d never noticed the 1981 starfield is the ESB one (since I don’t compare the movies to each other often)! I’ve marked it in my V1 album so I can be sure to speak more on it in ANH V2.5 (which would cover pre-19 changes/unchanges).

Somehow it’d be great if you could explain that adding the EPISODE IV title ruins the flow of the crawl. The movements of the opening theme were scored by Williams to match the appearance of the paragraphs in the original release, but now it’s just garbled. Of course, none of the other movies sync the paragraphs to the music, so it’s kind of setting a precedence.

Other than that, I think it’s great and I learned a lot!

Oh, I love using the “One Last Time” as a transition, you should make a point in the 97SE video that they’re ONLY talking about ANH, which was the original plan. The 97SE of the sequels were done at almost the last minute by a self-admitted “C Team” with much less resources and budget than ANH.

I’ll check it out and give any notes I have!

I bought the 4K set of 1-4 sight unseen and it should be here on release day. So hopefully it is just the movies given a new scan, i don’t want any Lucas/Cameron level tinkering. Its bad enough already the stereo mixes of the films are being left off but a isolated score track will be on there.

If you look at my galleries in the post above, you’ll see exactly what you’re going to be getting. And only TMP gets an isolated score.

The cost of scanning wouldn’t be prohibitive, and they could be digitally composited now and printed back out to film, but this is Paramount we’re talking about.

As long as they did this for The Director’s Edition. No one should recomposite the theatrical cut, that’s a slippery slope we’re already going down, thanks to someone at Paramount just doing their own thing from what it looks like.

Here are my VisComp Galleries:

The Motion Picture: Theatrical
The Search for Spock / The Voyage Home

hot noodles over on the TN1 forums has discovered that they have added flashes to 19SE to cover the bendy blades.

There may be more flashes added.

Yeah, I can’t even begin to figure out how to log power windows or the slight movements added to the camera sometimes.

Yeah, they’re mixed in there. The only one not on the list I can think of off the top of my head is they shittily made the speederbike that gets roped into the tree glow, but that’s in the images.

The links to The Digital Bits contains most/all of the 19SE-only changes, and I summarized some of them here: https://starwarsviscomp.wordpress.com/versions/19se/

Thanks @Jarbear. I managed to unpack the first part but others keep failing. Gonna try to redownloading them.

Opening looks incredible!!!

You do have to wait for them all to be downloaded before you unpack them!

The iTunes copy of “The Motion Picture” is now the new master, and there are shoddy fixes done to some of the VFX mistakes. This is outside of The Director’s Edition, this is obviously just the cleanup team trying to patch things.

RotJR is not done, nor is the 1080p upscale for ESBR or ANHR rebuild. There’s a lot to look forward to!

I’m helping Adywan update the ways to get Revisited.

He found a shot in the film that looked like it could be the same shot if it was from another angle.

I believe Adywan did a study and found a shot from him making similar expressions from a different angle. We don’t know of a reshoot filmed specifically for that shot, so I just stick with that theory.

There is one complaint i have however once again the theatrical stereo mixes are being left off, i’m also sure others will complain that the audio is dolbytrue 7.1 instead of Atmos. Which is weird since the directors cut of TMP will be in Atmos.

Well, TMPDE has a steward guiding the rebuild, the others are just studio output.
