As more tvs ship with 3D capability, eventually a network will want 3D content and guess what franchise is ready to step in to fill the void.  The Clone Wars cartoon in 3D is probably an easy jump for LFL to do as well.  Box Office numbers are a dwindling portion of LFLs profits:

ship at the beginning, and a crack above

the landspeeder when luke is with the dead

i've noticed that there are bright lines at the top

of the screen during some of the optical shots..

like the leia hologram and lightsaber shots..

this goes on for the duration of the whole scenes..

is that on any of the laserdisc/vhs releases?

here's one frame of the leia hologram:

I don't think shooting movies on film is going away anytime soon. Spielberg and others still have the weight to get their way on that for now.

while that may be true for the more prolific ones

the vast majority will stick to digital, and never see,

touch, or use film.

besides,it really doesn't matter what they shoot on,

its the distribution thats digital, and of concern here.

the cat is out of the bag..

lucas has successfully sold a ton of blurays,

so star wars in HD is safe, and in the hands of people

that want it in HD if they didn't have it already..

there's not a whole lot left to do,

and not that many people are really going to wait

around forever to see if the originals come out...

so the timing is a lot more relaxed now before,

then when people only had access to the HD broadcast versions..

i really don't think this will make much of a dent honestly.

only the few people that are interested in it will seek it out..

much like the 8mm, and 16mm versions have their audience,

so will this..

Have you thought of what happens if your project becomes really popular on the net and attracts the interest of THE MAN!

what project? there's no project here..

move along, move along.. this isn't the project you're looking for..

haha... nope, not worried about it, or thought about it.

whatever happens will happen. we can't control what

people think or do after the fact.

I found a couple more good-looking images of film cells from ANH. Again, there is less light traveling through these frames than there would be on a film projector, so I adjusted the brightness/contrast levels to bring out the colors. I made absolutely no hue/saturation adjustments.

 

The more I look at good images of these film cells, the more I realize that 1.) they came from an unfaded source, and 2.) they fully retain the original '77 color timing.

The print from which these film cells were cut seems to be low-fade, and I'm still perplexed about the lack of sound striping on every single ANH cell I've seen. Was this print struck specifically for the film cells? Did LFL or Fox happen to have a low-fade, unstriped 70mm print lying around?

Prints with the original color timing were still being screened as late as 1994, so later interpositives and print masters most likely still exist in the vaults. They may be grainy, they may be dirty, and they may be worn, but any later IPs/print masters/whatever were probably on low-fade stock and still retain the original color.

I understand that these elements were obviously too many generations removed from the source to have been usable in the SE restoration, but Lucas' implications that absolutely nothing of the original version exists in good quality is a load of Bantha poodoo.

here's our version of it (not color corrected yet):

A short question - are you working with a 1977 print or a 1981 print ? The canyon scene is really dark

hard to say, the crawl was spliced onto this set

of prints for reel 1..

also, since it's an lpp print, it was probably

duplicated and made around 82-83.

Not good. The last dude who deleted all his posts was banned.

 

Whaaat??  I only deleted those two posts because I wanted to take back what I said because I thought they would bother some people here especially the person who was just temp-banned.  I haven't deleted any other posts.

Of course it isn't censorship. I just found it funny.

Some of you take this all too seriously.

don't worry,

no one will ever make the mistake

of taking anything you have to say

seriously... we know why you're here.

and it's not because of star wars, preserving it,

restoring it, or anything else like that.

I don't get why you put a question mark at the end of that sentence, unless you are asking if you don't get why it's funny.  To which I would reply, "yes."
