Oooooo! I’d love to see this! Thanks in advance!

I’ve looked for similar projects and haven’t found any! I hope yours is going well if you’re still pursuing it. Especially now that there is some more (better?) Percy Jackson music to draw from.

Just wanted to say that I’ve been watching this and it is fantastically done!

So close!

Heck yeah! A PM is on the way!

Happy Lost Day, everyone! I hope you’re doing well.

Wigjuice and I are having a blast (door) checking through all 81 episodes and making slight adjustments as we go. Apparently I’m a Lost scholar now? Does that make me Dr PiEater? Not pie… (Arzt’s voice) It’s pi, you idiot!

Anywho, for all the maths (sorry for the spelling, I’m Australian!) nerds out there, so far we’ve passed over 32 episodes since 20th August. Therefore, at this rate (assuming that time continues to run linearly – and that’s a big if, because as we all know time is relative) we’re tracking to finish in another 56.0625 days, around 13th November. Of course, that estimate doesn’t account for the variations of daily life. Man, how I wish I just lived down a hatch with nothing to do except push a button and watch Lost all day.

Thank you for being very, very patient. The Others will be coming to get you soon.

❤️

To calm my expectations, I’m just gonna say I’m looking forward to a release by Christmas!

Thanks again for the hard work!

Oooo this sounds fun! I’d love a link please.

Hello fellow Lost fans! Happy 8/15!

It’s me again with a quick, and dare I say, happy update. I’m fairly certain I have reached the end of the final editing pass. There’s some things to be done at this point to make it available, and I am working on that currently.

My ideal release date would be September 22nd, 2023. While I won’t make that a promise just yet, I feel very optimistic that it will be possible.

I’m not sure who is still following my thread here, especially since I disappeared for a long time, but if you’re still interested please post and let me know! Once it’s available you will have to PM me to gain access.

I’ll probably set up a new completed project page in the near future and I’ll link to it from here.

Thanks everyone for your interest and for helping motivate me to get this done! And more than anything, for your shared love of Lost.

YESSSS I cannot wait to see this! Congrats on almost being finished!

This sounds like a super fun idea!

I just finished the series the other day. Wow! What a journey. Excellently done, Lawdog. Thank you for all your time and effort in bringing these to life.

That being said, once Season 3 is over, I am going to release an updated version of each film in order to complete this collection with a uniform style both on an aesthetic point of view and storywise.

I hope there are some fans of the show here, so that we can discuss the progress of this project.
I am always open to feedback and suggestions.

I cannot wait for your third one! I still haven’t asked for the first two but I shall eventually!

All was well.

Congrats! It must feel so nice to be done!

I just saw you’re planning to do Polar Express. That is gonna make me CRY I am telling you now.

I was wondering something. As I was listening I had a brainwave to make a playlist in my itunes with the film music and video game music. Did you ever make a spreadsheet with the songs and the orders you used by any chance?

I did not, no.

Ah well. Maybe I’ll play it by ear. Thanks!

Can I get a link for this? Thanks!

When I ripped the original audio, non-edited, it has the reverb. One thing to keep in mind is that the audio on the edit is a 5.1 mix. The YouTube video likely does not have 5.1 audio on it.

How do I get rid of that ghastly reverb then? Is there a setting I can choose? My system is only 2.1

Loving them so far! I’m noticing an odd reverb throughout much (but not all) of PoA. I’m not sure if it is in the others. Has anyone else noticed this? Or am I doing something wrong with my media player?

I mentioned this in July. Oddly, that’s the original tracks. It’s just something most people never noticed before.

I’m not too sure about that. I just rewatched recently and there was no such reverb.
For reference, here is the Boggart scene. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3PWKFyhJ2h4
In the edit, there is a loud reverb effect that echoes waaay more than the natural echo in this scene, including the score.

EDIT: Unless you’re saying that is in the original V1 fan edit?

This sounds great! Can’t wait to give it a watch.

Oooo I’d love to watch this! Sounds like a great labor of love!

I’m so excited to see your updated versions! I also had no idea you did an extended Deathly Hallows two-in-one or the FB movies. This is gonna be a treat. I sent an email and I’ll try not to refresh every 10 seconds lol

I’m at the arrival to Hogwarts in OotP and I’ve got to say your work just keeps getting better and better as I listen. The Hooper scores are some of my favorites and I’ve been moved almost to tears twice now. Well done, mate.

This looks fascinating! Looking forward to watching!

Regarding when it’s finished, do you know how we’ll be able to access it and roughly how much space we’d need to download?

Thank you so much for your dedication and hard work on this project. I’ve been so excited ever since I found this post in June!

Thanks everyone for your excitement for the project! It’s keeping me inspired to get it done.

As for sharing it, I’m not totally sure which method to start with. I’m also not sure what can be freely mentioned in these public posts, so I don’t want to be too specific. I think that’ll have to take place in private messages, one way or the other. Regardless, I want to find a good way to share with you all!

As for size, what will likely happen is this; For myself, I am going to export these episodes in the full remuxed Blu-Ray quality they started with, so the entire show will come out around 850-900GB. Obviously, that’s not ideal for sharing. So, I did some experiments and found a good compression rate at which I could make the files dramatically smaller, while still maintaining very good quality. I don’t have an exact number since I haven’t exported all the episodes, but my guess would be something like 200-250GB for the whole show. Again, not sure yet, so that could change. If there are others like me who want the highest quality possible, then we’ll have to figure something else out. The more compressed versions looked overall pretty close in my experiments.

I’ll know more as I start the final exporting process, once the episodes are officially done.

Thanks for the updates! I’ve been checking back almost daily since the original post
