Nor seemingly have the care / bother to actually read up on how things work on here - and how they don’t…

❕ I have found a Fan Edit / Preservation I am interested in - but I don’t know how to get / acquire / download it? ❕

To be fair, floppyD was following one of the first instructions on that page given he’d stated “the author seems inactive, sadly”:

“If you haven’t heard anything back after some time (over a month or so…) then simply make a post in the project thread stating you’ve had no success in contacting the project creator - and politely ask if anyone else can provide you with a link”

floppyD joined and made their only post on here on the 29th December - so they haven’t PM’d the project author at all - nor did they wait a month for the project author to reply. Nor did their post ‘politely ask if anyone else can provide you with a link’.

Nor did they even read the thread to see if others were offering assistance - instead… they posted “it really sucks that people with the means don’t have one tenth of the care…”.

^ Yet kind and generous members are going out of their way to help others on here - they do exist - and it is kind of shitty to turn up and ignorantly claim otherwise.

Again… 'fellow members are more likely to help you out if you are a participating member of the community here; you don’t have to be a fellow fan editor, preservationist, tech wiz, artistic or skilled etc… just a member that has made, or is making, an effort.

We’re a community here - not ‘a download site’ - so join in with the discussions and you’ll likely get what you’re looking for. 👍’

We grew a forest WITHOUT planting a single tree

www.youtube.com/watch?v=S5g60g9vmlY - an 11 minute video from the Planet Wild youtubue channel.

The blurb: 'We’re using underground forests to turn the desert green without planting a single tree.

🌱 Join us to rewild the planet: https://planetwild.com/join/m33
🌲 Switch to Ecosia: https://ecosia.co/planetwild

Across Africa, forests are disappearing faster than anywhere else on Earth.

But hidden under the surface, a solution is waiting: Underground Forests. Root systems that are still alive and with the potential to restore huge areas of barren landscape.

In our 33rd mission, we’re drawing on ancient wisdom and the discovery of an Australian agriculturist to help these underground forests burst out.

It also sucks that people don’t read through the thread - to see that there are indeed members offering help with project links.

He was pushing for shooting digitally when it looked like ass, cameras meant for news footage. Episode II will never look good. on III they got the technology a little bit better. But they will never look as good as 35mm shot movies on film.

The part that makes no sense to me is George decided no Clone Trooper suits. It had to be faked in cgi.

General audiences did not care the films look like animated cartoons in places or CGI animated. Lucas was able to get away with it because you don’t linger on a single shot. so the fact some of the renders don’t hold up, whatever they go by at 24 frames per second. Yeah, you can pause the movie at home now in 4K. and say good lord who approved this shot it looks terrible.

There were sets and miniatures and it wasn’t all cgi. Yes we know about the location shooting and miniatures. But the overwhelming amount of the movie was shot on greenscreen with a digital backlot, and actors shot separately from one another as elements. Actors acting to nothing, doesn’t help.

Anakin94 made a good point on the previous page; that on the old CRT TVs perhaps some of the CGI issues possibly didn’t look too bad… though once we got the blu rays (and later the UHD/4Ks) as well as higher quality TVs… the numerous CGI issues become more apparent / noticeable / jarring etc?

And that’s before we go down the whole ‘shooting digitally’ limitations of the time - in comparison to quality of film (though that may well be better suited for another thread) 👍.

For me, many of the quality Fan Edits on here have done an admirable job in addressing the multitude of CGI issues in the PT.

The blurb: ‘Expanding upon the world created by Danny Boyle and Alex Garland in 28 Years Later but turning that world on its head - Nia DaCosta directs 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple. In a continuation of the epic story, Dr. Kelson (Ralph Fiennes) finds himself in a shocking new relationship - with consequences that could change the world as they know it - and Spike’s (Alfie Williams) encounter with Jimmy Crystal (Jack O’Connell) becomes a nightmare he can’t escape. In the world of The Bone Temple, the infected are no longer the greatest threat to survival - the inhumanity of the survivors can be stranger and more terrifying.’

Very old thread but because I am at the moment watching some Fan Films:

Knightquest

Broken Allegiance

Darth Maul - Apprentice

The Dark Redemption

Kenobi

Three old and two younger productions in my top 5.
Today the possiblities are quite easier (or better) to create a star wars fan film. Nevertheless Knightquest, Broken Allegiance and The Dark Redemption has the special Star Wars magic 😃
The Darth Maul movie is an optical masterpiece and the Kenobi movie has an awesome casting and acting.

There are a few recommended fan edits listed up in here, mate (by various OT members - with a wide range of styles and tastes):-

Star Wars Fan Films / Shorts - a general discussion thread - including a ‘mini-index’ of fan films in the thread; here. 👍

Looking forward to giving that 40 minute Knightquest fan film a watch - though I’m not quite sure if I’ve seen it before going on the trailer.

Hmmm…they will only restore the deleted scenes from the bluray? 🥳🥂That’s great So far but no new scenes?
No colorations the black and white scenes?🤔

These are just the scenes that have been uploaded to the ALI youtube channel so far - there may be more scenes to come. 👍

It is all a ‘Work In Progress’ (WIP) - so we can hope for more detailed scenes as their work progresses (and maybe colour too). 🥂
