THE STAR WARS REVISITED SAGA'S CUSTOM BLU-RAY/DVD COVER THREAD

And finally... Return Of The Jedi. Hmmm.... it's a shame McQuarrie didn't do any real poster work for Return Of The Jedi as the stuff out there just doesn't seem to be quite as interesting as what I got for the other covers. I simply went for battle-tasticness instead of the artwork we've seen countless times on covers before! Just edited an odd poster I could only find in diminished res. Anyone got a hi-res version of this pic? Front may change if I come across something really special and logo on front my change to original classic type too. Anyway... I'm beat now. Enjoy all...

Not exactly super hi res, but this may be better than what you have (click for larger):

 

Also here's the ESB 10th anniversary poster in hi-res:

 

Would you mind posting your ANH source pic? I'd really like to have that image.

 

Edit: Hmm, the image-resizer appears to be broken?

Wait, who's this Kenny Baker guy?  And what do you mean, "inside R2?"  There's nothing in there but good old-fashioned Naboo electronics.

Don't be too shocked by this picture then, Ric...

 

Not sure if R2D2 has his dome replaced with a prosthetic head at some point, or he was scrapped and his body rented out as living space...

Ok, I won't have time to look any more at this for some time, so I'm posting the script as it is now for any who's interested in creating their own version.

It can probably be improved by someone wiser than me. ;)

Plugins used: ssiq, tivtc, eedi2 (or eedi2mt/eedi2_imp), fft3dfilter/fft3dgpu/fftw3, and of course dgindex/dgdecode. Depending on your setup you might want to try the multithreaded version of avisynth as well.

Anyone wishing to screen in on the PM battle can PM me with their credit card didgets and stuff, for a OT virtua ticket, and i'll place you in a front stage seat in a virtua OT forum, with just 1 thread only! And i'll give you a free wager tip that anyone with the name ending in Solo in the battle, is gonna be frozen out of the contest.

Hey, that reminds me, you still owe me 100 virtua credits dude!

You better pay up soon, or I'm posting pictures of Ric Olie in a metal bikini!

I've been fooling around with this a bit, thinking about doing a v2. Well, it's more like a v1.8 since it could really use a fresh capture, but that is out of my hands unfortunately.

The source/cap has a lot of problems, primarily some very heavy chroma artifacts/rainbowing and annoying dotcrawl.

My avisynth clean-up script uses the following atm: ssiq for the chroma noise/rainbowing, tfm for ivtc, fft3dfilter for more chroma smoothing and eedi2 to remove dotcrawl/aliasing.

I have been unable to completely eliminate the worst of the rainbowing but it is mostly gone or subdued. The filtering does affect the general chroma, perhaps it looks a bit desaturated, but I don't really mind tbh, as the shimmering mass of colors that was before looked a lot worse to me.

A few screenies:

Since dvds are soo yesterday ;) I'm currently planning to do this as a x264 mkv. If anyone following this thread has a huge problem with that please let me know.

 

Comments, ideas etc. are welcome...
