New starfield, added glow, and made the laser’s light falloff on the Death Star more realistic.
You wouldn’t believe how difficult stabilizing that was, and I can’t just make a freeze frame either…
Concerning the 19SE remaster project:
Update:
This project has taken a bit of a backseat while I restart work on several other projects. It requires a hell of a lotta work, and I don’t want to rush it—so it’ll begin once DevEd 2.0 is done. When finished, it’ll likely be used to create DevEd 3.0, which will release much quicker since I’ve learned a lot since 1.0 and now use a non-destructive workflow, allowing me to swap out the source of effect shots with little to no adjustment. I’ve also become increasingly aware of the 2011 Blu-rays’ obsolete and honestly disgusting quality compared to the 19SE. 3.0 will be the final DevEd update, possibly before ANH:R HD, but who knows. As for 2.0, I expect it to be done soon, hopefully in a few months, definitely before the end of the year.

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.

Thanks.

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.

Streamable: https://streamable.com/pvv9xwLooks 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.

Removed jumpcut and fixed misplaced laser bolts.
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.

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

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?
