It's under "Screencasts."

Sorry, not "area," but "thread."  Look in the Main Computer section.

The Vimeo link is now posted in the Screencasts thread!

I use Wirecast 5 Pro by Telestream. 

Yes, it'll be going to Vimeo, it's just a long upload.  Stay tuned, keep checking the Legacy forums for updates on when it's up.

To me, the quality of a restoration is always measured as the delta between a source and its presentation.  "It looks good," is an arbitrary statement.  The question is, "Does it look like it did?"  Surely the Blade Runner restoration is very nice, minus the usual, unavoidable compression artifacts inherent in the medium.  I mean, you can't get around that, anymore than an audio CD is simply no match for the studio masters. So from a "just watching it" standpoint, I love it.  From a restoration standpoint?  I have no idea - let's see the negative :)

Yep, way ahead of you. :)

Oh yes, no deletions.  In fact, most stuff is still in the "Mind Probe" area.

HA!

Oh, for new members: stuff is being moved around and reorganized, so you might see threads shrinking/growing, disappearing, etc.  It's all going to the Reel-by-Reel breakdown.  For now, feel free to hunt a bit.

Right on.  Check your SPAM folder for the registration link. :)

Well sign up, brother.  You seem like just the kind of dude to spice up the place...

P.S. There will be a rebroadcast at 3pm PST today, and at Midnight tonight as well.  Two more tomorrow, as well.

Well I absolutely promise the next one will have lots more video :)

One request, though, guys, for all the Obvious Reasons, please don't repeat what you've heard here, publicly.  Pretty please.  With sugar on top.

Last night's show was recorded, and I'll do a rebroadcast or two for those who missed it.

As for the two hour talk about the specifics of restoration techniques, visual examples and analysis, showing the restored Fox Logo and crawl, revealing the truth and history of the IB Tech prints, 1997 SE and Blu-Ray sources, revealing what's been said about OT.com at Lucasfilm legal, stories about what's in The Archives and in what condition, Legacy backstory, materials, and screening information being "all talk and no show," I will only say you are a tough couple of guys to do a last-minute, improv'd show in front of. :)

Next time, I'll put up some pictures for you to look at while I talk, although technically, that's what the entire forum is for...!

Thanks to everyone who came; it was fun, and we'll do more.  If you missed the show, register for the forum and I'll be posting a few rebroadcast times which are Timezone friendly for various parts of the planet. :)

Quick reminder to anybody who wants to catch the live show tonight, there's still a couple hours to register at the forum and get the password.  We'll talk about Legacy, and I'll show some stuff, etc.  Should be fun.

Personally, I like to keep my sext pics on my cell phone.  You know, where they're safe. 

Friday zaniness. 

I hope you guys downloaded it, because otherwise I'm keeping it all to myself.  Plus laminating. 

I fixed it. It wasn't really "breaking in," I just switched servers and the new configuration file had it left wide open.  Well...  That was fun. Christ. 

I found the pic.  Damn, I should've said it was mine.  Maybe get more dates. 

I found the issue too, and it's proving difficult to deal with from a cell phone.  However, I'm looking forward to finding the hidden penis in 23GB of files. 

If you found a dick pic, it wasn't mine, unfortunately I don't have a good explanation for who's it would be.  Let's start some nice Gay rumors.  Also, if you've found access to my server, maybe it would be cool to let me know privately how, and not broadcast the titillating prospect for other, um, dicks. 

Great eye.  One of the things which would frustrate a truly obsessive "crawl-recreator" is that the original element has photographic warps in it as it travels.  The warps are non-uniform and hard to detect but you can see them if you really look.  For example, from the bottom edge of the frame to about a 1/3rd of the way up, the letterforms actually compress and stretch in height like a spring a couple of times.  There are also horizontal pinches and stretches which happen over the animation.  This is why, to preserve the original crawl, I have to register my frames to the originals.  The way I even detected this in the first place was because I was tracking a single frame of the letterforms on top of the original ones, and where mine were perfectly proportioned, I could easily see the ones below stretching and pulling and shrinking, etc.  Now, remember I'm not talking about them moving around in space or jittering; I'm talking about the actual dimensions and proportions of the original letters changing frame-by-frame over the animation.  So if you were just going to do a crawl recreation, you'd lose all that, especially near the end of the sequence, where the letterforms exhibit a lot of these sorts of quirks and they're different each frame.  If I get a chance, I'll stabilize/lock one of the lines of text in place, so you can see all the warping stuff that happens to it over its run.

8PM PST

Legacy Secrets

Thanks, guys...  the project began as an SD thing (!), and grew over the years as I got better and better access. 

But for the real dirt - all the sordid details - register at the forum and get the password to the live show tonight if you can.  I guarantee whether you support Legacy or not, you'll learn some interesting stuff! :)
