In this clip, at around 5:36, there’s a moment from the Falcon’s cockpit view where it seems Lando has steered the ship to avoid hitting a wall, but the elements used for the ships in front of the Falcon move sideways along with the Falcon’s view in perfect unison, and this has always bothered me. It seems to just be a limitation of the effects at the time. I wonder, Adywan, do you see what I am talking about? And are there any plans to attempt a fix?

Also, does anyone even see what I’m talking about?

Screenshot?

I don’t think a screenshot would show what I’m seeing. You have to see it in motion.

If you’re talking about this shot:

I don’t see the problem you’re talking about, the ships are not moving “in perfect unison” they’re traveling at different speeds and from different angles…

Either way, I absolutely hate these shots lol…

Why

Because there are some of the dirtiest on the print, I don’t hate the actual shots, I think they look great; that’s why I’m restoring them…

Here’s the finished shot; I haven’t used a single pixel of the Blu-ray or any other source, just 4K77, and 4K78 to remove dirt on the officer’s face where the dustbuster couldn’t work… When brightened up, the image had thousands of scratches and dirt, and other stuff which had to be removed manually… I also kept the original grain layer, unlike V1, where I DNR’ed it to smithereens, did a horrible patch job using still frames from the Blu-ray, etc, and then added a fake grain layer over everything…

There shouldn’t be a single dust particle left in it now:

I’m currently working on re-doing the censored officer squib shots… I can’t use the ones in DevEd because it has so much added fake grain.

Cleaned up:

Either way, I absolutely hate these shots lol…

Forgive me if this has been mentioned in the 157pages of this thread yet but in the current version Jerjerrod slows down and freezes (very artificially) to extend the scene for the transition to the droids approaching Jabba’s palace. It always bugged me as a kid. I don’t know if removing the saber construction scene meant they didn’t have enough frames accounted for but I hope it can be fixed. Either by using AI to add the missing frames or by doing some sort of edit to something else.

This has already been fixed, in the last video Adywan uploaded…

New shot:
New source (19SE) re-inserted the missing falcon and adjusted the motion for a more dramatic shot.

Looks great, completely natural. Can I ask how you achieved this shot?, Was it just a case animating a still of the falcon from the frame it originally appears or was there more to it? I ask as I was trying something similar in an edit I was working on and really struggled to get a satisfactory result (even though it was small in the frame, it looked like exactly what it was, a still image being moved around and zoomed out from). Thanks.

It’s an image broken into 3-4 parts that move independently to give the illusion of parallax shift, ie, the illusion of 3D. It’s done statically, and motion is added afterward.

TAF 97 35mm scan

Yeah that part should be more turquoise or Blue like that I think.

All the sources I’ve seen make it out to be a brownish red, but I’ll double-check…

These edits do look nice and clean.

thanks.

Hi there!
I just read your detailed post about the Jurassic Park color correction project, and I have to say — it sounds incredible. The effort you put into restoring the warmth and balancing the VFX shots really shows in the screenshots.

If you’re open to sharing, I’d be very grateful for a chance to view your version — purely for personal, non-commercial appreciation.
Please let me know how best to proceed (Drive, PM, MySpleen, etc.).
Thanks again for preserving the film the way it deserves to be seen!

Warm regards

Just PM me.

Example of using the 19SE to replace certain shots:

I’m so grateful for The Aluminum Falcon’s 97Se 35mm scan. It’s cleaner than both 4k77 and 4k79, and in some shots like the one below, surpasses BOTH official Blu-rays in terms of detail.

2011 Blu-ray

2019 Blu-ray

DevEd 2.0

Dish looks great! Why remove that one shot?

Because the shot starts over one shot later, ergo the Stormtrooper falls twice.

Guess the audio changes for bonus points. There are a few shots with audio changes…

Are you color correcting and restoring the original cut?

Could you stop asking this on every presentation project you see? There is no original cut. Jurassic park wasn’t altered after its theatrical release in 1993. This is just a regrade. For the love of god please read the main post before commenting. From now on I will be ignoring your posts and so should others.

The HD versions used a 16:9 cropped version from that DVD and upscaled it to HD for later releases. I saw it on Max before.

What are you talking about? It isn’t on max… You seem to have a plan to do your own upscale- great, then do it! What’s the point of this thread exactly?

Are you talking about this?
https://www.b98.tv/video/little-go-beep/

It seems that it’s ONLY ever been released in Academy ratio, as that’s what comes up when I google it…
Also, you keep referring to things as “print.s” this is misleading because it implies actual film prints. Just say versions in the future…

Bizarrely, I saw some people on twitter upset that they’re “going against George’s vision” or whatever. People are so stupid, they don’t even realize they should also respect 1977 George Lucas’ vision.

Crazy people. They must be young.

They aren’t. The most infamous one of these people is Rick Worley. The guy must be in his 40s or 50s yet still spouts the BS about George Lucas having full creative control on “his” films, even 20 years after the fact, he even called Harmy a selfish vandal…

From a color standpoint it looks horrendous. The contrast (which is already crushed to hell in the blu-ray had been cracked to 11, such completely undermines the HDR. Also, Adywan has pretty much finished the HD version and is finishing up and entering into the audio side of things (from what I can gather). I don’t recall him asking for fx help…

straight from the word press site. New Year 2025 Update:
"Back to ROTJ:R now …

In a few months, once the graded source file is complete and the editing had begun, I will be putting a shout-out for help with FX work. I will need more help for this edit so I can ease the workload not only on myself but also Andreas who has been relentlessly doing the CG model work for these edits since ESB:R. So keep an eye out for this."

from a color standpoint yes. Fairly obvious, i’m talking as someone modeling, animating, etc, Ady can handle the color, AND can provide art VFX direction. Its not face value. In the work I do i’m constantly asked to tweak color, adjust things, all the time. It goes without saying. Anyways just tryin to help do some talent sourcing, but like everything on the internet, everyone’s a critic.

Also yes to him finishing up ANH, but you never know on that end, there’s probably still help that can be needed, and I was mostly doing this for ROTJ anyway. Thought that first guys stuff was solid, can do a few shots here and there and take the workload of Ady and Andreas. It takes a village

Everything I said was in the context of the second clip which is for ANH. Therefore I stand by everything I said. The ROTJ video looks pretty good, it was actually recommended to me a few days ago if you can believe it. I was just “criticizing” (which btw this is a forum not an echo chamber) the first video.
