The colour grading side of things continues as i work through the film. That was an early shot just after i did the first stages of grading. This is how the shot looks now, and that will probably still get some tweaking before the films release

Beautiful.

I was actually thinking about that shot recently in relation to Rogue One. It looks brilliant.

It definitely raises an interesting question regarding the legality of it all. I agree with you that under current fan editing rules, if you proved you have a subscription to the relevant streaming service, that would prove that you have purchased that product/service in a similar vein as owning a physical copy of the movie/show of the fan edit, and in effect not taking away from their revenue. But yeah, it is a flimsy gray area regardless.

Well said. As far as proof of ownership, I suppose we have to rely on the honer system. On the other hand, I don’t think there’s any doubt that we all own the discs, have the subscriptions, etc.

But as was said in the earlier post, as media moves from an ownership model to a subscription, and with digital ownership of these films/shows on iTunes, Amazon, and the rest, I suspect this is something that will keep coming up.

Has anyone seen episode 5 of The Mandalorian yet? About three minutes into the episode a new digital shot replicates the opening of a New Hope.

It appears to be recreated using the original elements from ANH, not digital.

Wouldn’t be worth nabbing till they dropped the blurays any ways. Streaming quality isn’t as high. I keep hoping they’ll show more clone wars era destruction that i might be able to use when the blurays drop.

I don’t agree. No Mandalorian discs, Blurays or otherwise, are going to drop anytime soon. And the episodes are available in 4K as well as 1080p.

Totally forgot about this thread, it's been six years now, Lol. I think it's safe to say this ain't never gonna happen.

No It's still coming. But life comes first. It's done when it's done.

I'll try to have an update soon.

damn slow server. lol

This project is NOT finished or completed, but it will be. I have not posted anything because as some of you have assumed, I have been very busy. Life, etc.

I have done some further work since I have last posted, but not a lot and nothing to warrent an update. When I have anything to report in the way of progress or anything else related to this project, I will.

Nearly three years after the first post, does still somebody believe this will see the light of day ? I agree with VK2019 - I can't help but feel sorry for you, but for other reasons...you started this fanboy fantasy (and I'm sure you have started with your project) - but after such a long time I don't think you'll find an end for it. This is not meant as bitching or moaning, but I think it's time to end this fantasy...I lost my believe in this project long ago and have no interest anymore for this, but it's fun to see from time to time how this thread is going on. Good luck for your project and congratulations if it really finds an end (I think in 2019, eh ?), but for me it's simply a fanboy fantasy...

Happy Christmas to you too mate. :)

I hate to say it, but I think I am joining the growing ranks of skeptics and non-believers here.

Is it possible that we could get at least one high quality sample?

If you don't want to wait, then don't. I'm not asking you to. 

Like I said before, I have posted samples before. But I haven't for awhile. I have also noticed that some of those samples have ended up on a couple of bootlegs.

I will post a sample or two soon, but not at the moment. Mostly because I frankly just don't have the time. I barely have the time to post this.

I'm sorry I'm not done, but I'm not. It is what it is, and it will be done when it's done. Your patience, as much as I respect it, has no baring or relevance on this project or my life. Sorry to sound short but this should go without saying, especially given the amount of times it has come up. This project will be finished, and then released. Even if I stopped posting replies or updates, or simply had no forum at all.

Now if you don't mind, that's the last time I plan on addressing the "are we there yet" heckling portion of this forum.

The screen caps seem to be cutting off from the post for some reason but the ratio is bigger then it appears. And btw, it's 1:85:1. not 2:35:1

Sorry for not posting sooner. I had a last minute trip I had to make. Anyway here are the screen caps.

Moth3r said:

Can you post screenshots to show the subs and general image quality?

Yeah I'll do screan caps later today.

too bad no one is offering the japan laserdisc rip for free. there is a guy selling them at his site, bootlegs for sale is a no no especially here on these forums.

I refuse to pay money for something that should be shared with fans for free, or with just blanks and postage costs.

People who sell these preservations are the ones who will eventually get people in trouble who do it for love and make no profit.

supposedly this film was shot 2:35:1 anamorphic and even had a 70mm release with six track sound.

all you get on the dvd is a vhs quality fullscreen rip with a tame dolby 2.0.

the uk release has better cover art very much like the laserdisc cover, you can find it on amazons uk site but not in high res.

I like this movie i have it on vhs, Mark Hamill is awesome in this movie.

I also have the time runner vhs and wonder why there is no dvd.

I have a rip of that Laserdisc (and it is in 2:35:1), however, it has japanese subs over the image and it needs color correction. Would anyone be interested using this and commiting to a preservation project? I don't have the time to do it myself.

I don't know at all the Blade Runner sountrack but guys, I love this thread !... Thrilling !!!

Good luck for your work. Such multi-sourced stuff needs so much time.

Just quote myself as a reminder of my feelings toward such efforts...

That said, I must tell I'm extremly curious of one thing, and perhaps I wouldn't dare asking if I wasn't there to present a "similar" project on these forums, but after all the reactions I've read here through months I can't keep myself of wondering, so here it is, adressed to the host of the topic of course:

 

Why haven't you provided the least sample to show a bit of the quality of your work ?...

 

PS: Thanks to the angry persons around not to take advantage of this question to "strike back"...

 

 ChainsawAsh is correct. I had stuff up, samples of a few tracks. Works in progress. I'll post something new soon.

  Thanks for the post. :)

Please visit the first page or drop me a note if you have any questions about the project.

 As far as progress, simply put: It's done when it's done.

Thank you all again for your support and patience. While I can't promise a finish date right now, you'll get what you've been waiting for.

Hey focus.  How goes it?

Things are good, as opposed to bad. But they are also very busy. The work continues and I will post something very soon.
