Here’s the LUT:

I do have to remark, that the source here is not of sufficient quality due to extreme black crush.

I think it is a problem with the mac version of the color matcher. The one you gave me turned out good. Here is another example.

and here is the actual lut file

I have the match tool on mac, and it yields literally identical results.

Edit: I use Resolve so maybe that’s why.

Does anybody know where I can find a high res version of this image? thanks in advanced.

This was fully released. It wasn’t some “rare” release. What’s the mystery about? It’s easily downloaded https://3ost.ru/6002-the-danny-elfman-batman-collection.html

What I mean is that it was never realized online officially, and the copies that do exist, are usually highly compressed.

Uh. I just posted a FLAC version. And that’s been up for years - literally since 2016.

Well, there goes 100$ bucks.

Bobson Dugnutt,

Looking at the clips you have, They seem to need very thorough cleaning. If you’d like, I can do a pretty good job cleaning these clips. If you’re up for it.

They intentionally look degraded: Bobson is using TN1’s grindhouse version of ESB as a base, so he wouldn’t have to clean the added clips to match. But if you can clean those clips so he could use a Blu-ray release as the base instead, I’m sure he’d appreciate it.

I must’ve missed that other part, well I’m still here if anyone needs me.

Will I be able to put that file in VLC?

Yeah.

I really like how R2’s lights look there. Perfect. That darkening as it switches really helps.

Thanks.

still uploading.

G&G-Fan said:

I can’t watch it, it says it can’t be supported when I try to open the video file with Movies & TV.

Yeah, It’s because Movies & TV can’t play ProRes-encoded files (like this one)
You’ll have to download VLC media player. It’s free.

I’m re-uploading the version with Hal’s ideas.
in the meantime here are some comparison photos: https://photos.app.goo.gl/5MBsMmGN9qXENouDA.

Great to see R2’s light like that. I notice the Falcon traveling much closer to the Death Star in that one shot, which is cool.

The blasters. I tend not to like efforts to make the blasters in ANH or the OT look similar to subsequent depictions by adding a core, because it never seemed to blend in right and would often be too thick. This, however, is totally perfect. Looks pitch-perfect in its goal and does not at all feel out of place. Color me impressed.

R2’s light looks good, but I wonder if mimicking Adywan’s effort for Revisited back in 2007 a bit closer might help further. When R2’s light changes in Revisited, it seems to get darker during the transition, and I wonder if that helps sell that some mechanism is pulling a tab. Here, the color just changes left to right and can feel like a digital alteration. I’m not sure how else to get at what I mean.

Stellar, man!

No worries, I’ll alter the r2 light soon enough. also, the reason the lasers look good is that I didn’t re-create them, I Just brightened the core that was already there, but was terribly faded due to improper restoration.
there are also some mistakes that I just now noticed, and I’ll have to iron them out.

This cinema actually does 35mm screenings, hopefully, this will be the case for ESB.
