Wow, looks great negative1! And this is just a recording of the tv, and the cleanup and restoration are not even done yet. The colors are so much better than the home video versions, lush and deep, just excellent. Real 35mm film rules... :) It makes the colors of the home video versions seem like skim milk, compared to velvety rich and smooth organic whole milk, just no comparison. :)

i'm not a milk fan, unless it's chocolate.

we might have some in the fridge.

come by and check it out, and

stay around for some more:

Stupid Vimeo won't let me watch any of these >:(

hmm,

what's the issue?

i usually haven't had any problems,

try different browsers, or update your flash plugin.

Asaki said:

 

 I kind of want to get some people together to watch the first two Puggos (and maybe use the X9 of Jedi), but I don't know how many people would actually appreciate it or if they would just complain about the poor quality.

why not show harmy's v2/2.1 afterwards? or the

next time you meet after that? depends on if they like

the 'film' experience or are going for quality.

Last one loaded yay!

I did notice that darth vader seems very matte black. Why would the print have him be so matte? Is it because you recorded it with a camera?

i think it's always been like.. matte black.

it's glossy in the other ones.. guess darth

vader didn't get his helmet cleaned by the

service that day.. ha ha..

here's what the search for star wars gives:

check of all items, not just online, or you

won't get any hits..

thanks for the heads up.

watched it today..

this should be required watching for anyone on this site.

or for anyone that wonders why film is disappearing and

digital is taking over..

it does seem like a long ad for cameras..

and keanu is actually decent in his questions..

it covers a lot of basic technology and history and

the speakers and examples are interesting..

of course there's quite a good representation of star wars

and lucas about all the pro digital side...

very good..

TServo2049 said:

I guess I use V3 because it's anamorphic.

Maybe you're right, maybe I should use the official GOUT discs, because I have those too. I didn't know there was any cropping difference, however small.

Here's my first test with the high-res images: http://originaltrilogy.com/forum/topic.cfm/Cropping-the-Original-Trilogy-35mm-vs-dvd-gout/post/595901/#TopicPost595901

if you haven't seen these already,

go check them out. very nicely done!

thread.

jero32 said:

So this was a projection? (stil watching so won't comment on it just yet)

 

edit: I just said this out loud: "Holy sh*t look at the detail" (particuarly the underside of that star destroyer)

actually it was more of a joke

(see corrected version)..

thanks for dropping by,

they'll be more later..

so stick around for the rest of it..

You_Too said:

As far as I know, none of the official releases (even that 1982 tape) have accurate colors, at least if aiming for the original theatrical look.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't all video releases made from separate prints which didn't have the alien subs in them? I know some of them had dark scenes brightened at least.

Your PS78 tape might just be the best we have. Or negative1's upcoming release of course.

well, if 'official' means coming off a real print

then yeah, maybe ours will be... harmy's tech ib reference

would also be pretty official then too..

but if you mean commercial public releases then no,

that would have to be one of the vhs/laserdisc releases.

the ced matches the vhs colors i think..

welcome everyone...

come on in to our first preview

of star wars..

a few things:

---------------------------------------

take off your shoes

get a comfortable spot on the couch

grab your food and drinks before we start..

----------------------------------------------------

- colors are not FINAL

- we're still working on the cleanup

- this is the fully uncropped versions..

==============================

oh yeah, the projectionist  guy filming it tried using

a tripod, but it got all crooked at the END! oopss..

well hopefully you'll get the idea..

thanks for coming by!

enjoy...

==============================

https://vimeo.com/49694211

pw : OT

also, they'll be a few more samples from

this reel, and for the other reels too, so

you can get an idea of what it looked like..

Erikstormtrooper said:

Stupid question: Do effects (composites, matte paintings, laser blasts, etc) always go to the edge of the frame?

from what i've seen, yes, they go right to the edges...

also back to the cropping (again),

the final release is going to be cropped for sure,

we can have some fun later on, but again for the

sake of stabilization and working with the video

all the versions will have some parts cropped.

it's just an early version that i have that is uncropped

mostly for testing, but to ensure a standard image

across them, they have been setup that way for

the final renders. unless you get the raw files, and

then line those up, and try to stabilize them, that

will be a lot more work, and we have many other

things to work on, right?

jero32 said:

Previews would definitely be a good idea to see how the colors "respond" to different types of monitors etc. People could also give their input on various things etc.

well there's plenty here,

and on vimeo..

i have another preview in mind.

not quite this kind though..

Most of the time, I'm watching on a tiny 17" monitor and listening through audiophile headphones, but on occasion I will watch in my "souped up living room" - 56" 1080p flat screen hooked up to a custom built surround sound system. It gets the job done. :) 

what did you customize with the sound system?

Puggo - Jar Jar's Yoda said:

One trick I've learned is to err on the side of audio being late.  In the real world, our brains have come to expect the light to arrive before the sound.  So if the audio is late, you might notice it.  But if the audio arrives early, it feels really wierd.  Doesn't work for close-ups.

I'm quite sensitive to audio advances and delays and I have to say I would prefer a 100ms audio advance to a 50ms audio delay. The former is more obvious, but the latter is more frustrating for some reason.

i've been doing some syncing lately too,

and delays are more noticeable to me to..

anyone find other links or places for this?

still looking for the Swedish version of the 16mm..
