Here it is without the camera shake.

Hey, I looked through V1 and LOVED it. I’ll be using this as the main base of my private custom SE edit, it’s wonderful work 😃
Just a few technical notes for the upcoming V2:
the Greedo subtitle at 49:47 has the word “sign” misspelled to “sighn”
the shot of Luke running down the prisoner hallway at 1:13:27 is frozen on one frame
good catch.
Death star explosion final.
should I keep the camera shake or leave it out?

The’re very apparent in the prequels though.
Is this even worth the trouble:

The cc is working out better than expected.

One suggestion if possible is maybe mask Darth Studious’s face (Spoiler Alert) to hide the fact that it’s Palpatine, that’s always annoyed me how no one worked it out lol.
Don’t worry this’ll be done.

Color correction is still a wip.

Assuming you don’t have any ideas I disagree strongly with, and would like to publish your efforts in this way, I’d be happy to take what you do and incorporate them into a future (“official”?) revision of CoD itself.
It’d be an honor.
Hello everyone.
The hal9000 trilogy are the definitive versions when it comes to the prequels, (story wise at least.)
and the effects hold up pretty well, except for one film… Episode 1.
Hal’s ProRes cloak of deception will be the main master, and i’ll build my effects on there.
It has always bothered me that the effects in phantom menace are so out of place in the prequels.
I want to have a definitive version of the trilogy to watch, but Episode 1 always sticks out like a sore thumb.
here are the main issues that I’ve noticed and how to fix them.
Lightsabers too dark/colorless. Fix: replace using dazman’s phantom edit.
too many stars in starfields . Fix: replace starfields (maybe)
Laser’s ugly dull colors. Fix: repaint all lasers. (maybe)
naboo’s scenery in some areas especially in the hangar bay shots look fake. Fix: replace with better environments.
deepfake/paste Darth maul’s face onto the CGI puppet seen falling down the tunnel thingy in the final battle.
replace added spark hits that look fake and bad.
Restore/Clean up films issues.
This edit won’t officially begin until DevEd v.2 is finished.

Can someone share with me the latest version of this? Thank you
in what way “latest version” ?
The 1080p version buddyboy.
I don’t know if this has been decided yet, but will there be any blu-ray artwork made for this edit?
I remember seeing a really cool one made for ESB:R, but i cant seem to find it.
Am I the only one who thought the replies sounded a bit sarcastic before actually watching the video? Like, I thought Ady added a ronto walking across the screen or something like that. 😉
But anyways, amazing work! You are truly a VFX god, Ady.
I also thought that at first, 😂

I pasted the officer in white’s footsteps onto the motti shot like you said,
it doesn’t match at all:

The first footstep is off camera
Those footsteps don’t match at all, he backs up one step and we hear like 4.

Any updates for mac? My old match tool is starting to glitch out. I cant pick out the files anymore.
One of the little changes I really like is the use of adding another wide of Obi-Wan, which I’m pretty sure is taken from Light & Magic. Great to see some unused material and VFX being finished for an edit like this!
That’s amazing.
- Make R2’s blinking red/blue light work, as the original prop was broken. Adywan has done this but his will be the 2011 source. TMWNN has done a lot of this, but not the trickier shots where there’s a lot of motion.
For v2 and your edit all of the blinking lights will be completed.
ROTJ has been updated and is available now in the usual places. DrDre’s color matching tool has allowed me to make the Lapti Nek, Death Star II explosion, and ‘Yub Nub’ scenes closer to blending in seamlessly. I remain open to revising it down the road if superior source material becomes available. If Adywan presents a color-corrected ROTJ I’d be glad to update this with it.
ANH will come in time. I await TMWNN’s forthcoming project to fix up the 19SE and color correct it to be close to Adywan’s work on the 2011 BluRay. I plan to publish an update before then, with only minimal color tweaks from the OTD-19SE primary source, and redo it whenever that is ready. I’ll post updates here as I go, as there may be a few things yet that I could use some help with.
what else do you needs help with?
Can someone share with me the latest version of this? Thank you
pm sent.
but next time please try to find it yourself.
FWIW I agree. If the original shot of some speeders and people going by that originally opened the scene didn’t have so many foreground antics added in, I’d like to use a version of it without the silliness but with the SE backdrop so it fits in a bit better. I’m not unhappy with what’s in my current version, but it’s an area ripe for improving upon.
I think guy with No name has done a good job and I don’t want him to feel people are asking too much of him… But yeah good what he did here, but also we can pick fault with the original film… Why is the top of the moisture vaporator missing?
That could mean that the shot should be cropped?.. I know I saw an alternate angle more from above that did not have to deal with the landspeeder shadow animation and probably not the missing top of the moisture vaporator but they went with that angle probably to see what could be achieved and perhaps fell out of their depth a bit in 1977 but you know I guess innovation whilst having mistakes included, is better than no innovation without mistakes and playing safe. Pushing the envelope was what it was all about and that rings true for Special Edition also, but in a bad way. The CGI was put center stage over the film especially here in this part.
If this shot was commissioned today it would be more about the top of the moisture vaporator probably more than anything else I reckon.
As time as gone by CGI although a very essential and useful tool in the box of tricks It’s maintained it’s big front and center accolades but also slid into the background and kept itself subtle. The big wow factor is now gone…
The telegraph poles and wires in the background are a good thing too they don’t detract from the shanty town Mos Eisley…
It’s not missing its top, that’s just a type of evaporator:
I flipped it because I replaced the earlier shot of the destroyer with the one from ESB;
Y tho
Because why not.
