i tried posting a full 11 minute composite
clip on vimeo.. but it took 2 days to convert,
and then wouldn't play.. so i deleted it..
looking into dailymotion... of course youtube
would delete the video.. so i can't post it
there either..

1080p. sound is just some cheap speakers.
you should probably upgrade those,
or listen through headphones..

Yeah, sorry, the CAPS was a bit over the top. I wasn't really that mad, I just wanted to make the post extra visible. But it does have the effect of making it seem like you're shouting at the top of your lungs, doesn't it?
i'm sure you'll have to do it again a few
more times, once the bluray and avchd 2.1's
come out..
but posting in all lower case is
like whispering ... shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..

I guess you'll have some seconds of just grain between the opening title cards (if the grain in the blacks hasn't been removed by the color correction). Of course having it on a mid-grey would be even better, since it would contain both dark and bright dirt.
actually, thinking about it now..
there are frames like that...in the raw scans.
so i guess we do have some after all, just didn't
think about how they could be used in another way.
(again, more technical things like this should be discussed
in the Technical forum, or in the general 35mm thread please)..
thanks

ok,
in preparation for our release.. and of course
with all the other ones out there.. are you
going to have a watch party with other friends?
(or by yourself...awwwwwwwww)
====================================
i know i am...
----------------------------
yes, i know that most of you can't go watch the
movies in a theater anymore for reasons we all
know.....
i know i'll be doing a screening in a theater near
me later this year, if it all works out... with a group
of people i know, and some family too.... it'll be
tricky to work out (sound) etc... and we'll fallback
on just a digital presentation.. but a local arthouse
theater has a deal where you rent the place out
for the night after hours.... and i've talked to their
management so it's just a manner of timing.....
maybe we'll squeeze in a 'grindhouse' preview
of ESB also???
anyways, back to more possibilities for the rest of you
========================================
1 watching harmy's v2/ v2.1
2 watching puggo's ESB 16mm (along with SW 16mm?)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
way back when last year.. me/cinch did our preview
of version 0 of ESB 35mm...
this year i've watched preview 0 of SW 35mm..
however, shortly we'll have more color corrected
reels to watch , so i'm going to get some friends
together to watch that also..
------------------------------------------------------------
watch this space .. video and screenshots
coming ....
-------------------------------------------------------------
so what are the details, and how are you guys
going to celebrate the releases that are coming,
or how did you do it for the ones that are out
now???
this should be a great year for star wars releases..
and there's more coming!!
let people know what you're doing, and
share the wealth!!!

I prefer watching movies on my 36" GE CRT TV :-D
It weighs 148lb., but it doesn't hurt my eyes like my 1080p LG LCD TV does.
what about all the other equipment?
audio? computers? etc, etc, etc..
details, details!!!!

by the way,
i'd be interested in everyone that is checking
this out, to know what type of home theater
setup you'll be watching these and other
projects on...

negative1, a little offtopic request: do you have clean film cells which only contains grain and nothing more? There are some commercial projects regarding transfering film grain to digital and then use them as filters for digitally recorded videos. It would be amazing if you can provide us with some small samples (those official products costs hundreds of dollars).
no we do not have those types of samples.
i know what you're talking about, but we
don't use those.

i like the soft look to it also snicker..
we'll adjust the contrast and the colors,
maybe not that much..
but interestingly enough, as i keep mentioning
it looks quite different on a tv, than on computer monitors..
hmmm.. maybe some previews?!

Maybe someday, but I was assuming the other projects (such as ROTP) would have higher precedence.
But then, like -1 said, there's a lot of parts later that look more natural. I don't have as much of the 35mm to compare to as he does...
you can do some quick checks
with the emporer pictures:

Think i'm going to break out the cross fades as their own shot / line in the spreadsheet. This way the data can always be split in two and recompiled.
Did a run thru Lee Thorogood's SWSE, and things hold up. That line of investigation will continue: http://originaltrilogy.com/forum/topic.cfm/Shot-List-Spreadsheet-v0505-6-films-publicly-editable/topic/13403/
negative1, anything you remember wanting to consider when running the numbers? Or areas which might need a second look. The credits being one example. Might as well get one set of numbers ready for the people considering the wiki.
can't think of anything off hand,
except to join the VOB's initially so you
don't get the gaps with the missing frames like i did.

any luck with HD reel countdowns?

Puggo - Jar Jar's Yoda said:
Can you be more specific regarding the "darker black boxes"? I'm not sure exactly what you're talking about. If I knew I might be able to figure it out.
Wrong wording, sorry. I meant transparent. There's these pesky little transparent vertical stripes on the left third that appear in the same place in different levels of visibility throughout all three reels at different points. They're more visible in motion.
yup, i've seen them also..
there's also a scene at 9:00min when luke is hanging in the
ice cave, where there is a color shift that made it look like a
new scene... (nevermind, it's just the ice beasts shadow moving)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
just finished doing a complete frame-by-frame watching of
both the 16mm and the 35mm simultaneously.... i had them
both running in 2 vlc windows at synched them up (with
adjustments during the breaks/vobs/etc).. overall they match
up in scenes very well..
1) there is definitely more grain in PSB.
2) the initial hoth scenes have a much darker blue tint in PSB
3) the rest of the movie seems to have more contrast, and
a darker orange/red coloring to it..
4) the amount of cropping on PSB is quite a bit compared
to the 35mm (even with the full frame shown as is)
still it's very cool to see how well they both look,
i remember doing some comparisons with the sample you
put out earlier..
i'll have to put out some more now that it's released..

Puggo - Jar Jar's Yoda said:
Thanks everyone for the very kind feedback. It was fun, abeit slow, to put together. Working in the little nooks and crannies of my time, this one took a year and a half.
Return of the Pug - watch the ROTP thread. It should come together similar to PSB. Adywan color correction is the next step; it's slow and a bit frustrating... the last copy of the capture that I sent him was lost in the mail! That killed a couple of months, because mailing parcels from California to the UK seems to take about a month - and that's airmail first class. Ugh.
that's too bad..
i've never had problems getting or sending stuff to
the UK. that happened with insurance and tracking?
and it's never taken that long either.. must
have been bad luck.
hopefully it will work out this time.

thanks puggo for all the hard work,
and to all the people that helped you with it too..
i just finished watching it along with the extras..
looks great, and the color correction by adywan
really helped out.. i know i felt like i was watching
the real film from time to time..... (and yes, it matches
up with our version pretty well too!)..

No need for those specifically. If you could get them to me in some decent quality, I'd be very grateful :-)
a-ha!
but we have a few different ones..
(not sure what format to put them in)..
hmm.. a high quality scan of low quality leaders....... ha ha!!
check your pm harmy..

Harmy said:
Well, definitely not those used in the WP, those were bad SD upscales. But if someone could get me HD scans of those countdowns, I'd probably go for it.
hmm..
digs around in raw scans..
we don't have THOSE countdowns,
but we have a few different ones..

what you see is the original screencaps
from the english VOB version. i take it
you are using the same?
For GOUT reference, I am using my copy of DarkJedi's V3 DVD.
I'm going to do more examples of the GOUT framing as compared to your high-resolution images from the color timing thread. I'll link to them here once I've posted them in the cropping thread.
not that it should make much of a difference.. still..
but why not just use the official GOUT DVD'S?
that's the source reference.
