The Mono Mix Restoration Project (Released)

I guess I just wanted to confirm with -1... there is at least one more reel of mono audio on the way, right?  I'm assuming there's a delay due to your workload in a million other things, but it occurred to me I never was really clear on which or how many reels you actually were going to capture.

If 1 & 2 are all you have, I can work with that too.

 From what the team members have said, this is all that we have currently. Other members may post further reels in the future if found.

We'll try to post further shots, once I get them. As I mentioned earlier, this is from a compressed source of the large DCP version that was projected. The original video was downsampled to 1080p to make it portable.

Also, the observation about the compression is correct, this is the quality from the current source.

This is an uncorrected version, with no cleaning done to the film.

We're still a ways off from starting the correction and cleaning.

This is merely a preview of the Fuji source, which is 1 of the 3 sources that we have.

The purpose of the shots was to show cropping. Also to show that some artifacts will still be left in the final version.

There will be more previews forthcoming.

They won't be in any higher resolutions, because thats the native resolution of the comparison. It doesn't need to be higher than that because of the DVD resolution of the GOUT isn't that big to work with.

Time to play Unpopular Opinions with Bkev, everyone!

These look significantly worse than the GOUT as-is.  That purple tint puts the even the blu-rays to shame.  Is this from your re-scan, or the first pass?  I know I've seen better-looking shots of the Tantive from one of your prints...

edit: question-- how many prints are you working with right now?

There are at least 3 Prints. 2 Kodak ones, and 1 LPP. We also have some partial reels, and replacement parts for the flyover, and the Han shoots Greedo scene.

This is the first pass, not the rescans. Also, we said it wasn't color corrected.

Hard to judge them, when you haven't seen the video, unless you looked at the 1080p cleaned up versions, which are significantly better.

There's quite a few posted earlier, such as:

Not sure why you would compare the Raw scan to the GOUT, this is for a reference to check frames and cropping. Not for quality.

Here are sample frames from our other Fujicolor Print. This was the one used to project at the screening.


NOTES:

1) These are not cleaned for dirt.

2) These are slightly color corrected.

3) Some cropping was done on the images.

4) Images are downscaled from 2k to 1080p.

The originals in 1080p:

As a reference, we've synced up the raw LPP scan agains the GOUT. The top is the LPP (with Reel number), and the bottom is the GOUT.

You can see the areas that are cropped in the GOUT. Also notice that in scenes with a lot of red/pink flashes, that ours are not as blown out.

Finally, there are some artifacts in ours that will be left in (the blue spot in the Darth Vader entrance) to preserve those. We are still deciding which ones will be preserved, and which ones will be cleaned.

We'll be posting several shots from all the reels.

NOTES: 

1) These are not color corrected.

2) The flyover is taken from different LPPs, and also regular Kodak prints. So some shots have more stars in them.

3) The LPP was not cropped.

4) This is the scan with no cleanup done on it.

Here are various frames from Reel 1:

I LOVE looking at these.  It makes it clear that there IS a way to save these fabulous movies and have their grace returned to them for fans to enjoy.

The shot of the Star Destroyers is freeking awesome.  You wouldn't have a larger version one could use as a desktop background, would you?

:)

 

 Here's a larger version of this shot:

Some more interesting things from the cleanup of an earlier reel:

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

The tear above the windshield is gone, but will probably be put back in:

Yes. You guys are all right. These are just some samples from the clean up pass. Color correction, stabilization, and other fixes are still coming up.

We will post some video at some point. Imageshack works fine for multiple uploads and creating the thumbnails for posts. We have accounts, so never noticed if you need to be logged in or not.

Info & Help: looking for... The original Latin American Spanish dubbings

CatBus said:

What's the significance of the "raw" in the filename, as opposed to the other files?

Also, if anyone has the American Spanish ROTJ track from the R1 GOUT DVD, please PM me.  I'd like to compare it against the one I already have from roback214.

 Nothing. It just happened to be called that. We will be re-doing these with the new Dolby Noise Reduction unit. Those will be named differently.

Information about the Spanish print was posted here:

The links are down, so we will be reposting them. Including the later reels. These were not done using the dolby sound equipment though. So they will be retransferred.
