Note: As previously mentioned, there are some overly bright and dark areas.

Quick question that I might of missed, does your scan have sub-titles for Greedo?

 We have separate scans of the Greedo, from other Kodak prints and more.

It was spliced into the Spanish print.

Team Negative1

We have not done color correction yet. But will look into those issues. We can check it against the original versions.

Also, we will be doing limited rescans and shot replacements for certain problematic areas. This is still a preview.

Wow the sound in that last clip was really interesting is that from the print?

 No. The original sound is a Spanish track. This is a temporary one.

Team Negative1

Thanks.

Here are some samples:

How about the emperor's close up while taunting Luke? I'd like to see how visible (or not) those optical black slugs are, and how much of a difference color correction makes when it comes to seeing them. Thanks

Something which would interest me is the original Sy Snoodles puppet from the original Lapti Nek scene. I'm especially interested in seeing how the puppet holds up compared to its CGI-counterpart in HD.

Would it be possible to see Vader's shuttle flying towards the Death Star? Specifically shots which have the animated workers on the Death Star who are outside watching the shuttle fly past.

 For these, and other posts, could you post a reference picture or time. It's not clear at times when you mean.

If you do that, we can post shots.

Thanks

Here's a continuation of the clip with R2D2 and C3PO in hiding.

The clips are compressed twice or maybe more, by us and the site.

Also, they will be 1080p, and clear, but don't expect them to be as clear as the bluray sources.

Thanks for replying. I was trying to make a little joke referring to the 10 pages of angst over the rounded corners in Harmy's TESB.  A *very* little joke, apparently.

 We know. But people have to realize there will always be some picture loss regardless. The cropping is there for a reason.

Here is a clip of Luke in Cloud City, and Boba Fett.

MrPib said:

THANKS!   Can't wait for the longer clip.

Is there any way you can round off the corners?  (J/K!)

They are originally rounded in places, but we've cropped those parts out, along with more of the damage.

Team Negative1

Thanks again for the interest in this. Although it's a long way off (possibly), we are still figuring out ways to speed things up.

Parts of it are in really good condition, and if we find replacements that are better, that will go a long way in completing it without doing a lot of repair work.

We will try to address some of the scenes, and maybe post some clips at some point of the most important ones.

Thanks for checking back.

Team Negative1

We will post a longer clip, once we are done posting the segments. The reason for showing the duel and the carbon chamber, were for comparisons with Harmys version, and the interest in them.

We will go back to earlier sequences after this. And hopefully, new clips from a much better print.

Need to get yourself some dark walls :)

 Would be nice but I don't plan on living in this house but so long. Would be a paint over again when trying to sell it. Besides they are actually more grayish than they appear. :)

anyway, sorry -1, was just going with the flow. I'm looking forward to more video clips. Especially anything you might have at 1280p.

No problem. I'm not "-1". This is the team replying.

Don't you mean 1080p.

More comments about the clips are welcome, before we post more.

Thanks.

I'm hoping, as I mentioned before, that -1's release encourages Fox/Disney to do a better job on the next bluray release of the OT.

 We doubt that. Also, there will probably be more changes to the OT, knowing Disney.

Team Negative1

Here are some newly cleaned up scenes from Reel 3:

=====================================

http://www.dailymotion.com/video/k5INaGkxKVt1Ey8fqMF

Note:

====

The images are dark, due to no color correction yet.

There is no stabilization done on it.

Continuing with the carbon freezing chamber scene:

====================================

http://www.dailymotion.com/video/k5gfNjBbVBO9et8fqEG

Team Negative1

There are a lot more original prints out there, than when we first looked into it.

Team Negative1

Here are our temporary raw credits from one print of ESB:

========================================

No stabilization.

No cleanup.

Slight color correction.

It's excessive cropping of the image and a loss of image information.

It's the opposite. If the rounded corners of the 35mm frames are visible, the frames aren't cropped enough if original theatrical aspect ratio and presentation is the goal.

 That's right. You will definitely get cropping in our version too. So you won't know what your missing out on, and shouldn't be seeing it anyways.

There is a reference for the ESB Credits here:

You can enlarge the pictures by opening the link in a new window.

We will try to post a video in our thread at some point.

Team Negative1

With the interest in the 'unzoomed' shots mentioned from other posts, we'll be posting some of those scenes, to show what they originally looked like.
