On your February 3rd Facebook post, you said you’d reveal “by the end of the week” what was done to fix the falling gantry, but you never did.
I’ve been following Ady’s work for over a decade now. What I’ve learned is this… “If Adywan says he’s planning to do something, then something will get in his way.”
Have a good read of all his Revisited threads here from the beginning. You will see a man beset by bad luck, faulty equipment, garden fence catastrophe, poor health and family tragedy. But he persists, his work on these edits has almost taken him twenty years.
So assuming he hasn’t been crushed by a falling chandelier, assaulted by a disgruntled chimpanzee, or blinded by an exploding fire extinguisher then updates will be along at some point, I’m sure.
I remember he actually had his external drives fail when he was nearing completion of ANH:R SD, and had to start over. The man is very persevering.
That version still has the sound of the clamps and then the ship moving into the hangar, so Bingo’s point still stands I think.
Adywan adjusted the clamps in a later shot to match what the sounds infer:
Watching the opening scenes on another thread reminded me of this and forgive me if I’ve already posted it. When the Tantive 4 us being pulled in to the hanger of the Devastator you can hear what sounds like the docking claw scrape the hull and then the film cuts to an exterior shot and the claw hasn’t made contact. If the shots were resequenced you could have the exterior followed by the interior and the scraping sound would carry more impact. Maybe the claw could be slightly animated like its opening in readiness for the ship. Also could Threepio just say “There will be no escape this time”? I’m sure there is a wookiepedia page devoted to why he pretends not to know who Leia is to Luke but he doesn’t need to mention the Princess anyway as she is mentioned in the crawl.
All of these changes not only have been confirmed, but have already been done:

this is a reupload (ady’s original post was taken down), and whoever reuploaded it upscaled it to 4K, but it’s still intact.
Assuming it’s not an April Fool, that’s wonderful to hear! Congratulations 🎉
I just realized the date. well… that was bad timing.
Alright, here’s a big update: I’ve finally purchased a new Mac Pro! If you don’t know, my Mac Mini was stolen at the airport during a flight back from MCO (Orlando) to my home in NYC. It was such a horrible experience that I’ve never been able to recover any of my files. For the past two years, I’ve been working off a MacBook Air that I bought temporarily, which ended up becoming my permanent solution.
After saving for a few months, I’ve finally purchased a fully spec’d out Mac Pro! I can finally get back to finishing all my promised edits and projects: 4k77 Remastered, Hal’s COD project update, and of course, this. I’ll post a clip when I receive it as a celebration. Stay tuned!
Yeah, I think you should take this discussion off-thread. It’s starting to sidetrack this edit big time.
Excellent work! I’d love a link to check it out. It will always bewilder me how the 1990s became a decade of unbelievably bad color corrections on otherwise perfectly fine scans. Looking at you FotR!
Thanks so much.
Just PM me. That goes for everyone else who wants it. I’m notified about PMs more than I’m about regular thread posts.
Are you recreating the original version of Jurassic Park?
Sorry, what original version?
Of the first film of Jurassic Park.
Jurassic park was changed for the Blu-ray release?
I don’t know. Check to see if there are changes for it. Search if there are changes for the film.
It wasn’t. This isn’t a preservation this is a fan edit, if it where a preservation it would be int he preservation thread section.

If you wanna know how to find the original ending music for “The Mummy Strikes”, send a letter to Warner Bros. Studios and ask them if they have a copy of the cartoon with the original ending music. If Warner Bros. doesn’t have one, ask DC instead.
I have two questions:
- Can you put all 17 fixed cartoons to Internet Archive?
- Can you make a Blu-ray of it and send it to my house?
Are you being serious or just trolling?

Do you think you’d be be able to replace Hammonds voice in his first few scenes to remove the Scottish accent which he completely loses by the time they get to the island?
Probably not.
I just ran into a mistake; I accidentally switched one of the shots in the timeline.
I’ll re-render both versions tomorrow. sorry.
This is why quality control matters.
Let’s be real, Magenta was THE color of the 90’s, and with Jurassic Park being a 90’s icon, I genuinely thought that is how it was supposed to look.
Thanks for this regrade! The preservation section of this website has been a rabbit hole.
No, not really. Magenta is the color of 90’s blu-ray masters. not the films themselves. Spiegelberg specifically wanted a warm, high contrast feel for Jurassic Park, so that it would feel nostalgic. And the opposite for the lost world: cooler, darker but with less contrast:
Ok. I just finished rendering the smaller encode. still rendering the bigger one…
Woowww what an amazing project! Thank you for doing that ❤️
Question, are you using the scenes from 3D BD version that includes various fixes for safety cables visible in some scenes, etc.:

That will be done in the fan edit:

Ok. I’m rendering it now. there will be two files, Large (4K), and smaller (HD).
Hey everyone, it’s ThatGuyWithNoName back with another insane unimportant fan-edit.
This time it’s for Jurassic Park. I’m currently working on two separate Fan edits/preservations of Star Wars (DevEd, 4K77 Fully Remastered). So I’ve decided to clear my head a little with a Fan edit of Jurassic Park, A la DevEd and/or Star Wars Revisited. I’ve completed the color grade and semi-restoration:https://originaltrilogy.com/topic/Jurassic-Park-4K-Blu-Ray-CC-and-Remaster-ALMOST-COMPLETED/id/128312
All the help I need from you is to tell me all the mistakes/errors you’ve noticed over the years so I can draft a preliminary change list.
tech specs:
Resolution/aspect ratio: 4k, 3840x2076.
Audio Tracks:
. 4K bluray 7.1 Track (Remixed into 5.1)
. 3D blu-ray 5.1 Remix
Current change list:
. Color Correction/Grade
. Cleanup/resotration of degraded shots.
Let Pre-production of JP:DevEd begin! (name is still a wip).

sorry about the “Fan Made” subtitle, I’m also posting this on youtube so I couldn’t say “TGWNN” as no one would know who that is.
Hey everyone. just wanted to let everyone know this is available again on Google Drive.
PM me for the link.
The colors look amazing, your description of the horrible colors of the UHD edition could fit perfectly with the 2011 BR of Star Wars, now, I have a question. Do you plan to add any language to your version? Since it would be great to be able to see and hear it in castilian, I’m just asking if it’s possible of course.
Definitely. Just provide me with the audio track and I’ll add it in.
so far the audio tracks are as follows:
The colors of Jurassic Park on HD+ media have always looked horrible, the key word is magenta. Magenta, magenta and magenta. The picture is also over saturated, which makes the effects shots (which usually are over saturated themselves) look 1000 times worse. I’ve done a complete Color correction and grade, bringing it closer to the warmer hue of 35mm Film, while keeping it modern and neutral. (in context, they may look too warm, but I promise you alone they look magnificent, This ain’t the 3D BD) I’ve also Color corrected all the effects shots to match the surrounding shots (there are usually blown out highlights while simultaneously being muted) aswell as over-saturation which has to be corrected. Excessive noise has been reduced in several shots (raptor shot used as example below) and one shot (Genaro talking to Hammond) has been partially replaced by an upscale of the Blu-ray; For some reason, the 4K Blu-ray shot starts out with a regular image, then fades in to a very degraded, seemingly 35mm source. This is not present on the 2011 Blu-ray, so the shot has been partially replaced.
This so-called “master” will be used as the basis for a Jurassic Park fanedit I’m currently planning, A La “revisited”.

Project is complete. You can PM me for it.
To keep things involving the effort to revise the prequel trilogy edits one more time and include an alternate set of them to be more ‘maximalist’ and retain the original titles mostly within this one thread, I wanted to ask:
Are there any higher quality sources for the deleted scenes? Currently I have AI upscales that are a few years old. Nothing wrong with them, but I don’t know if there is anything better out there.
Also, I could still use an AI line to replace 3PO’s line in ROTS while taking off for Mustafar, “I think I’m beginning to get the hang of this flying business, hmm.”
Everything else I think I can get through myself, at a snail’s pace.
If you wanna try a different way to fix the goofy Threepio line, you can actually retime the whole scene to make it feel like Padme rushed off to Mustafar, which allows you to cut the line entirely: https://drive.google.com/file/d/14-Rc2iWT4QsNdRuAMAW0qER5ke_28Uuw/view?usp=drive_link
If it means anything. I can’t even tell what was changed, Seems normal to me? So congrats it works.
I cut the shot of Obi-Wan hiding in Harry Potter’s closet, and massively trimmed the two-shot of Padme and Threepio right before take off to get rid of the weird line that Hal was referring to. The precise way that I trimmed it hides the cut in the music track, so you don’t feel like anything is missing.
Cool to see how much was cut without it being noticeable to a non-prequel watcher. Great work man.
