Same link should work now for a V3 (audio fix from 1:22 on)

Thanks for the find…not sure what happen. timeline in editing program looks ok…saved file on HD is not. Re-rendering it out again, now… and will check and just replace the file/link there same name. It may take some time to upload these as my upload speed is pretty slow (3.5 hours for these movies)…will post when its there though so you can get a replacement. Thanks for the nice feedback

The enhanced FX were a very nice tough. These are things the casual viewer (like me) do not typically notice.

The only noticeable issue I saw around the 23:17 mark during the meal with the shaman. There was a quick and awkward cut when we are shown a shocked look by Indiana Jones for a split second that goes by a bit too quickly. This is really only a minor issue and I would not even bother correcting it unless there are more revisions you had in mind. I also know you were working various other edits that should also take priority.
Thank you again and I greatly appreciate the work you and other editors put into this.

Thank you for your review, kind words and recommendation to others for my TOD edit. I hope you enjoy the others as well. In regards to the Meal with the shaman quick and awkward cut issue, I have identified and corrected it. The issue was a overlaps of two layers of video on the cut that I missed I guess. The cut should go to Willie and then back to the Shamen as he continues his story. latest will be a V4 that I will just replace the current so the link should still work for any who want to re-grab it. I will upload tonight as my upload speeds are slow so I rather just let it run while sleeping. Should be there in the morning.

Thanks again.

I’ve just read your shot list; I was wondering, do you think you might use the deleted scene of General Veers’ AT-AT being destroyed? There is grey, black & white footage of him and the two drivers in the cockpit about to be rammed head-on by a speeder.

Originally had not decided to include due to the scene having so much cartoon/storyboard drawing pieces to it. Colorization has come along way and I do have some very nice practical models of the snow speeders, so maybe I will take another consideration, would probably be in a final V3 though.

Version 1 of Raiders is finally done. I will follow-up on prior PMs for this in a few minutes. If I miss anyone, let me know

A few notes here:

• I ended up adding some extra shots in the intro that I came across 4 days ago (You can find those in the updated shot list).
• This version has all the official deleted scenes other than the bar kiss, which I found extra footage as well a few days ago and will finish that scene for inclusion in V2.
• This version has ~31 of the 47 edits/additions. The other 16 edits are already started and planned out, but I do need to switch gears and get back to ESB-X as a break and to just accomplish something on the StarWars front.
• Thanks for the interest and support and I hope you all enjoy this release. Happy Holidays/New Year to all.

Wich tracks will there be include?
Different languages?
Thanks for your effort.
Regards

5.1 English. Have not added additional speaking tracks for deleted scenes in different language nor subtitles, but if you PM me regarding this specifically, I can get you “lines” of what is said in English that are new for you to translate if you want and then maybe you can take it from there to do something? Maybe 20-30 words total.

Honestly it’s not much as far as talking for the extra I believe its only

1. In the temple helping Sapito up
2. Encounter with Suzan after class
3. In the well of the souls
4. Them in the marketplace (just the Marion saying “Indy come here”)

Raiders V1 is 99% done, just tweaking some things and should have a file for tomorrow. I had found some new deleted scenes and had to decide what to use + update some more audio on delted for 5.1 mix…Link below is to the updated shot list
Version 1 will contain 30 of now 47 planned shots/scenes.

I like what you did with Belloq’s face in the flames: replacing the dummy head with the actor’s face.

That was a change my buddy called out and through out the years, I kind of missed it. Surprisingly it was not that hard to do as I thought, since the almost identical shot is earlier in the film just not composited with the fire. Definitely helps to have a more realistic face, but I understand they only had what they had in 81.

How is this project coming along? I’m keen to see it once it’s finished!

workin on the audio now…hoping for FRI release for version1, which should be pretty comprehensive

Currently trying to finish up my Raiders extended version, but I do plan to do an exit of Dial like my other 4 Indy movies. Here is what I had planned as far as a shot list. The AI voice fix is already done as someone on Youtube took a start at it and I added some more, but the other I need to find time to go after. It might be a while though as I need to get back on my extended Empire strikes back version 1 that has been like 90% done for awhile.

• Paramount peak/logo transition at the start added back in to be consistent with the franchise
• Fixing audio sync issues and old Harrison voice in some spots so it’s not an 80 year old voice with a ~45 year old Indy as well as mouth not moving in some spots to the voice for the CG in the beginning
• “1944, Franch” title added to intro to be consistent with every other Indy start. Also adding in “New York, 1969” since the movie is literally moving to this time (for the intro) and it was done this way for Crusade.
• Editing a shot away from Indy after he punches the driver of the car, so he hides the body under the car off screen and we return to him sitting there inside before the officer comes in the back. This allows more time for officers to get into car and not see the Indy ragging the driver out of the way on the ground or whatever he had to do.
• Fix CG when punched on the train. I am sure there are more, but that was the one I notice the most
• Slower Indy running on the train. Or reduce the scene so he is not so fake looking here
• Adding a Starwars Visual easter egg somewhere in this film to be consistent with the other films
• Adding the last movie McGuffin easter egg somewhere in this film
• Tuk Tuk scene seemed to drag out, but will have to see the Bluray a 3rd time to see where take out is needed
• Possibly add the deleted shot. “Same for the God Daughter” when they are drinking in the new York Bar.
• My own personal rip of my copy did not grab the subtitles like in the theater at the end, but I kind of like no titles since no other Indy had it, so may just keep it this way, plus we never had it for the German speaking characters.

nearing the finish line on verion 1. It will have many of the edits I had originally planned for V2, leaving only some of the bigger time consuming ones for the June 2024 final release. This version 1 is 90% of all the edits though so it will be pretty comprehensive. See updated shot list above in the very first post for ongoing edit and changes

This is now completed as 2D version (will go back later after Raiders and do the 3D)

Ooh. I can’t believe I just saw this… subscribed and waiting now.
Still convinced I saw Indy on the periscope in the movie when I was growing up.

He’s on it hanging for a half second when the map is dissolving into the high wide shot…You kind of need a >40 inch screen to even see it. For my addition that shot will be there, but will have him come down off the crows nest and then jumping off into the water + more extended scene.

Interesting fact on the periscope scene is that it had storyboards, was in the novel, the comic, early scripts, pretty all but the final film. In all those cases however; he attaches his bullwhip to the periscope and gets pulled along. I considered doing something with that to match, but all Harrison shots, he is just holding on with arms etc. Also Harrison does not have his bullwhip when he swims and gets on (left in the room I guess), so it kind of played out different if they did use that scene – he just holds on through the day and night until morning.
Personally, that kind of pushes it a bit or we can assume he uses maybe his belt to help stay with it (but under the water). Either way this one will take some work but hoping to get in the side “sleeping” shot as a “Day for night” shot of Harrison holding on at least for V1 and finish it all in V2

Glad to hear about the excitement this generating. Raiders definitely will be more packed full of great extras compared to the others. Planning to Focus on V1 of this and then finish Skull and Crusade after but still sometime mid December for all. Even though those other two have less to wrap up, I am wanting a Raiders viewing myself before the BLU release of Dial which will be here fast…As such, looking to try and add as many of the planned V2 edits into V1 as I can for first release. First release should be about 85% of all the new stuff and all main ones. Again, thanks for the kind words and support.

Shot list for this edit…Working on the Indy series at the moment and will probably focus on that till year end, but I do often jump back into starwars and finish a few scenes. Checked ones in the PDF are complete, but most are started and already edited on the timeline. Figured I would share this out for those interested in how this one is coming along.

Finally got to watch. Nice work here. I kind of knew going into it that it would be the more raw Renegade Grindhouse version look, which clearly makes it easy to slice in the deleted scenes.

The extra bacta tank scene colorized seemed to be a half and half of red and blue tint (almost a 3D anaglyph feel) as opposed to your other colorized style. I think that was your first years ago maybe?..not sure at this point if worth it to try and do another pass, but it’s a tough scene too from a colorization standpoint.

Creative use of the General veers death. I decided not to even try that in my extended I am still working on due to the storyboard and cartoon elements, but you edited in what you could from that and it worked. I get now why the falling at-at had black smoke around it head crashing due to that removed scene…thought it worked well.

…The restored first kiss looks good, I decided to exclude out of mine and have first kiss be the deleted bespin scene with them, which was decent quality and no coloring required…but either works to include. Not sure if you can use any of that deleted scene minus the kiss or work with it?..just a thought for an additional.

There are also some additional hoth battle scenes (with the canon tank) etc. that you may want to use…For me, I am still deciding if I want to restore them as they are lower quality, but might be ok for grindhouse look.

My personal taste is the adywan/modern/clean version, but I understand what this is trying to achieve and if you do the same for New hope and jedi it will be interesting and very retro and nostalgic way to do a viewing.

Again nice job so far.

same here…how do we view? would you be giving a link via PM?

All, I have made additional major changes to my original KOTSC (in a new V2 version-see new edits below)

-Re-edited the introduction of Indy so he, (the main character) is presented first and Mac is second. This is for franchise consistency where we usually see him right away and not some other guy - This is really how it should be in hero movies in general and this was a really good observation from an editor on Youtube.

-Added back “Not as easy as it used to be” and put hands down line as after watching it I did not mind it and hits on the getting older motif.

-Removed the Flying Fridge sequence and Nuke survival. This is a BIG one…Ok. So I tried to watch it over and over again, but could not live with it or felt it was something I had to sit through and wait for it to end. Even after all these years, it is still out of place. I did some edits in the base as well to have them not mentioning the fridge and surviving it.

-To stick with the theme of every other Indy movie having the main artifact from the last movie easter egg (making it every movie that does a call back in my versions), I have added the grail leap of faith painting in the background of Indy’s home office when he is talking to Charles.

-Removed an extra repeated shot of the male prisoner in the insane asylum when Mut walks by, it was almost the same shot twice and did not match the timing of Mutt walking by and looking back at the man when it is shown twice.

-Removed an extra “Help” joke line from Indy to Oxley (of the total 5 that are repeating like an old comedy skit.) Only 1 " Help go now and it’s to help Mutt not go get help, which would not make any sense as the only other ones out there are the Russians .

-Returned some of the quick sand discussion about Mutt being Indy’s son to keep canon with DOD. Honestly at this point it does not matter if he is Indy’s real or step-son since Indy Marries Marion at the end. Added it back to please those that did want Indy to of have a biological relation with Mutt. Personally, I felt that the “real son” relationship in KOTCS was weak and and not developed out at all. In Dial, Mutt is just gone (or rather killed off)…anyway. It’s only a quick mention here.

-Another tie-in returns to Mutt being Indy’s son when in the truck. Here Mutt learns the truth, but the scene is edited shorter as in the theatrical, it kept going on with some very odd dialogue…removed the “You bet I am” line and mutt talking about the staying in school. In the theatrical he hears he is Indy’s son, but than kind of keeps talking which was odd. Edit just to clean things up a bit for this scene.

-When Indy and Marion are in the driver’s seat of the truck and Indy explains what they are going to do next (Indy usually makes it up as he goes along). There was a lot of extra dialogue here and have changed to him just saying “Grab the wheel” when she comes up. In the original, it felt like he was giving a scripted play by play of what they will do next which felt very off.

-Shortened the fight scene with the big guy, where a total of 23 punches are exchanged and 3 hits with a log/branch. It’s very long keeps going and going with them punching each other over and over. It’s like a loop. This one is again courtesy of an editor on Youtube.

-Edited so the tree does not hold the amphibious vehicle in a controlled catch so much (catches it and slows it down as they exit into the water)

-Shortened between the 2nd and 3rd water fall by just a few seconds as it had some dead time.

-Added the R2D2 and C3PO easter egg carving on the Inter-dimensional being’s throne. This is a real easter egg, but not really visible on 4K or HD version or easy to pick out and it is still only a second in my version but I did want to add it in. It is right when the temple starts crumbling and the closest shot of a chair and you see a piece of debris fall by the skeletons left foot. The carving is on the far right. Many have said the star wars reference of Skull was Indy saying I have a bad feeling about this, but I felt this one was better and needed to be there as the other are “visual” eggs.

-Changed the ending saucer scene to where you barely see the saucer for a second. It is almost as if you are not sure what you see before it disappears, which I think makes the interdimensional beings less “saucer men” and makes it so Indy still can say that he has “seen things he can’t explain” as opposed to being so much in your face with crystal clear CG.

I am also working in tandem on the 3D version of KOTCS (of this version 2), for those that want it and can play this full color full HD format, It will be after my Raiders release though.
This will be my final version of this film, at least for a while.
I feel this has tightened things up quite a bit and has made the film much more enjoyable.

Again, A major call out to 15MaF as this is still 60% of his fixes, which had I would say 50+ edits not mentioned here. We really owe him credit for taking charge on this one and making all this possible because Crystal Skull has certainly needed the most work.

If you still want the Fridge and the others stuff I removed, Version 1 link should still work, but I think this version now fits the series.

Update
Making progress here on version 1 and below is final shot list with thumbnails/examples taken from still shots/finished scenes can be found below in the PDF link.
This is the shot list for both versions (version 2 is denoted by "V2 - "):
-Top images in compare shots are the new changes and checked items in the shot list are completed edits.

TOD 3D is finally complete. PM me if you want a link. Sorry took so long, the movie has a lot of movement and depth that was a challenge to track and work with, but I think it turned out well and the movie is a good candidate for 3D. You will need to support SBS 3D. I use Potplayer for my 3D movies from PC, but if you can play the MP4 from VR or playstation etc, it should also work.

May i please get the link via PM? Thank you!!

Will sending PM tonight after work.

Ooops, you already sent it. Thank you very much!

Your welcome…and wow you have a fast download if 1 minutes for 12 GB 😃…I guess I was thinking my upload time I had, which is ridiculous slow where I live (takes all night for 12GB upload… download is much faster)… Shooting for 3D TOD to be uploaded tomorrow night, for those who may be interested. I know I keep delaying this version, but for TOD I went back and re-did ~12 scenes in stereo 3D Side by Side to fix some things using a much better 3D conversion tool that uses AI to figure out all the depth of each frame. It is coming along to where I am happy with it.

Here is the shot list as PDF…hopefully in 2 weeks…finishing TOD 3d version for upload tonight or tomorrow night…then this in 2D first than 3D, than Raiders version 1.

Some of the edits from above, I see they fixed in the latest blueray (#3, 10,11 and 12) and some like face-to-face with Hitler it was not that noticeable when I looked at …might go back later and look, but mainly going after the main changes. For the most part this one is pretty solid as is…not much to fix IMO.

“All, I now have a final 2D version of TOD Ultimate for a while.”

Is it the same link as before? (Gdrive,12.1 GB, “Temple Of Doom Ultrimate.mp4”)

No it’s Temple Of Doom Ultrimate_V2.mp4

but it is just those 2 changes posted. Might not be worth the 12GB unless you let it run overnight, but up to you if you want for those 2 tweaks.
