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

Similarly, some other effects relate exactly to the story in a way that makes them redundant to our own imagination and prevent us from relaxing into the ambience. For example, some door knocking sounds : we imagine these because they are announced by the narrator so we don’t need to hear them too as a sound effect, contrary to the continuous background ambiance that you give depth to. You prevent us from forgetting the description of the scene when you take care of the general ambience and you provide more immersion with some special effects for the most unusual sounds, there is simply this slight redundance sometimes a bit.

I respectfully disagree here. I really like the addition of sound effects.

So much better. Not many composers create such memorable soundtracks.

I think Desplat did a fantastic job with the scores for the last two films. Very emotional and epic. But it is undeniable how good this works.

How is this project going?

Hello there (I pictured Ethen saying that when I wrote it)

I had some major delays during the holidays but I’m back at it now and should have some good time to really work on it again. I’ve got 61 (of 80 or maybe 81) episodes pretty much done, so not too far to go. There will be some final tasks at the end of this pass just to make sure everything is all good, but that won’t take long.

I appreciate all the interest in my edit and really really hope everyone gets to watch it that wants to. More so, I hope it will be enjoyed thoroughly for the version of Lost that it is! I’ll try to update more often as things progress!

Thank you!

Awesome I’m glad to hear it! I hope you have as much fun making it as we will watching it 😃

How many chapters now? Just checkin.

I’m currently working on Chapter 14. I do want to apologize to everyone looking forward to Half-Blood Prince. Lately, I’ve been kinda slack and getting distracted by other things, and it really is my fault. I’m going to try and get back on track today. That is my main goal and priority.

Hope you continue to have fun with it! Thanks for your hard work. I finally finished CoS this morning (been busy with other audiobooks as well) and it was a delight!
