I'm not sure if this has been addressed at all before, and if it has I'm sorry to bring it up, but I need to know if something is going to be done to make Vader's voice uniform throughout the films.  His voice in ANH is to me the most menacing.  In the sequels it is deeper (slowed down?  Harmonizer?) and sounds contrived and phony.  Picture "Commander tear this ship apart until you've found those plans, and bring me the passengers. I want them alive!" done with the ROTJ voice.  It just wouldn't work.  Is it possible to repitch his voice in the sequels to more properly match the way it sounds in ANH?

I'm very certain Ady did lots of tweaking to the ANH Vader voice to make it match better with the other two films.

I was just wondering, is there a full change list between the different versions, including 2.5?

I can understand the music being taken back out (regardless of me liking that change in the original revisited), but I really don't want anything else changed back to more purist.  The extended Battle Of Yavin and that C3PO line were the best parts (albeilt the 2D images running across the screen in AE for the extended sequences, luckily that won't be the case anymore).

Well, we can certainly still plan stuff out, just as long as there's not too much work on my side, I really want the time to finish my PT edits, which are proving to be very painstaking to make right now.

There will be something awesome, when we start this back up and get it finished.  It will be a great alternative to ROTJ:R.

In terms of musical score, the PT is what needs a lot of work, not the OT.  Even though, John Williams did the scores for the PT, you have to admit it was not anywhere close to the quality of the OT music.  OT cues should be going into the PT if anything.

However, I did very much enjoy the added music during the duel in ANH:R, the if he put it back in again, it would have to be the orchestral version without the choir, as the regular version with the choir stood out as jarring and "edited".

I seriously LOL'd during that last line.

What a great color grading! This movie now looks older than ANH.

I just think that Padme's face is a little overexposed in some shots and a bit too orange.

But overall: it's gonna be great!

Thanks.

Skintones are bit off still, and the overexposure is a source issue, her face is overexposed in the original version.  I reduced it a bit, but a little work on reducing the bright highlights is needed.

Was I supposed to be getting a distracting amount of flickery movement in the backgrounds?

Did you not see this in my post?

Here's that Obi-Wan technicolor shot in motion (full scene w/out audio):

Youtube Description:

"Here's another technicolor sequence from my preservation projects, still making tweaks to the skintones, saturation levels of certain colors, the overblown highlights (the occasional source issue), and trying to correct some of the flicker from the film grain scan I use."

nobody knows what SE version is on the DVD's yet.

I thought Drew was checking on that?

Also, what does this really have to do with Episode VII anyhow?

It's surprising how much adding a laugh track can do to change a scene.

Team Negative's latest film samples are showing the same green cast that most of the samples on the blog did. I'm not sure if I ever got comfirmation that they're aware of this and will get rid of it in the final version?

The samples don't have complete color correction, I believe.

Even an unfinished project can be an inspiration (see my signature regarding a far less finished project).  Keep your chin up :)

Oh don't worry, I plan to rehelm the whole thing after my PT is done.  i've never given up on it, I've just not been in a hurry for it.

But, yes I'll certainly want to check out this workprint if not at least for good ideas to borrow for in my edit.

Coruscant Clones shot:

And obviously, I think that I will be using technicolor emulation for all of my PT.  I'll probably post new technicolor versions of earlier screencaps.

So jealous.

This for certain needs to be done in the film.  It would be funny to have him switch between young anakin, normal anakin, and Vader maybe.

DominicCobb said:

Looking great but Anakin looks much too orange at 0:01.

Yes, the skintones are little bit inconsistent in this clip, but that's a source issue, I'll see if I can tweak the settings to let my custom technicolor filter make the skintones a bit more red.

In the back ground  the lights like the blue and some white, have changed. There's some bluish green introduced in the white lights.

Oh, I guess I didn't notice I accidently did that there, should be a quick easy fix.

Another shot of Obi-Wan from ANH:

Well, thankfully Ryan McAvoy has already made a comparison clip for me for the duel.

Youtube description: "Here's a test video of making the opening duel look like it was shot on 35mm technicolor. All work is still in the works, though it is pretty close to the final product. Again, watch at 1080p fullscreen to see full effect)."

As always feel free to comment!

There are still some secondary color correcting artifacts (really just blatent ring around the blue lightsaber).  Here is technicolor in the duel.

Goodbye digital look!

Damn, that looks awesome!

Much improved version of a previous shot I had showed.

Young Han was almost in ROTS, hanging with the Wookiees.

Oh, I've certainly known that for a long time.  But I would never want to see him in there in that context.  Chewbacca, Owen, and Beru were all shown in terrible contexts in the PT.
