Thanks for the resource; some great stuff in there!

Sleep? What’s that?

I found the same thing. I was seeding last night, checked it this morning to find nothing working.

Thanks! Here are the other 2 covers. They are of course a work in progress ;-D

I recently began working on another cover set for the Despecialized version. I am using resources from Noble-6, found on Deviant Art and posters by Rich Davies. Like I mentioned previously, there are so many awesome posters out there, it is just so difficult to choose just one…

I plan on completing a set shortly, but any feedback is appreciated. Thanks!

A direct comparison between desaturated color version and yours would really be appreciated! 😃

Dang…forgot that again. As you can see, I did not go as dark as your picture, but as an overall look for the film, I think it came out pretty well…

Thanks for the advice and interest; I did opt for a stronger contrast in version 2.0. I have had to upload it to a different site due to it not being an actual fan edit, but more of an experimental preservation, so please feel free to shoot me a PM for the info on how to obtain this version. And just a friendly reminder, you MUST own a commercially available Blu ray copy of the film before you can download it.

thanks!

As far as I know, Criterion cases are the same height as standard cases, but even if they are a bit larger, simply cut the cardboard stock to accommodate whatever size cases you are going to use.

PM sent.

*Update I removed the link from Mega for the time being as I am considering re-editing the film. The edit can still be found on everyone’s favorite internal organ; head over to the invite thread in ‘Off Topic’ if you need an invite.

I shall!

Thank you

No worries. Thet also have some great deals on blank media. Happy burning…

I cannot lie…I like big butts.

Watching it now Adywan, thanks for all of your hard work!

Quick question, did anyone document your hard work throughout the project? Looking at it from the outside, the process has been fascinating, so I wasn’t sure if, as you were working you had someone documenting your work.

But…and this is a big butt, don’t forget to post up some pics of your project for the community to enjoy; it is always fun to see other member’s creativity.

There are several threads on the forums which address this, but there are pages of posts to wade through, so here you go…the company you are looking for is www.Casetopia.com. They have everything at super reasonable prices, check em out.

When will we get a list and gallery of the changes?

When will you give it a rest?

Thank you…

freeleech for the wiiiinnnnn

A couple of buds for sure…

Thanks for the advice! I did go back and fiddle with a few settings, so version 2.0 should be ready shortly.

Who has the pot? I am asking for a friend of mine…

I actually had quite a bit more contrast in my first version/attempt, but I found that trying find that crush/clipped balance was difficult, especially when viewed across the entire film. One scene would look really good and the next the black was so crushed, no shadow detail was evident…but as you said, playing with the levels will enable me to even more finely tune the look I am going for…

Some before and after pics:

Might be an odd one, but I watched The Man From UNCLE (2015) with the color settings on my TV set all the way down to black and white, and thought the movie was much better for it. I would love a proper b/w version.

It is funny you mentioned that, I was thinking about the next round and that is definitely a contender. I know for sure that I will be doing L.A. Confidential, so we will see.

Thanks to you!

ROTLA is available on Soderbergh own blog, 720p - not aware of any 1080p version.

No Country for Old Men: may you post some comparison between simple desaturated source and your noir version? Thanks!

Gotcha…

I will give it a shot when I get back in front of the laptop.

It does, but the file on spleen was dead. I tried to ask for a reseed but got no response so I contacted the original uploader and nothing; so I figured that I would try and do something similar. It looks beautiful in black and white.

Also, your work on various projects was also an inspiration, so thank you.

I find it extremely ironic that the whole website is copyright protected…what an asshat
