Sorry about the delay. Got sick last few days. will render soon.
Sorry about the delay. Got sick last few days. will render soon.
Hello to all, I had a suggestion for a fix in RotJ:R if Adywan would entertain it. If someone has brought it up before, I apologize for the redundancy.
In the last shot of Vader’s unmasking and death scene when the camera pans down with Luke’s head, I noticed that Vader’s collar piece for his helmet is missing, and we only see Sebastian Shaw’s chin and the side of his face.
This is something that has bugged me for years when watching RotJ, and it would be great to see it fixed!
Side note: I downloaded both ANH:R and ESB:R this past weekend, and they were excellent!
Yeah, I one-up that! Great idea! ANH:R HD is gonna be even better!
I just donated another $50.

How did the change get into this mess? It seems to be made to suffer. It’s the change’s lot in life.
Seriously? Are you just trolling now?
There is a subtle change made to R2 in this shot in the 2019 transfer, in case you didn’t know. Will you be using it for ANH:R HD? I know it’s not much of a change, but it’s still a change.
Probably a “fix” more than a “change”, I’m sure Ady would have done the same himself.
I have logged it for examination for VisComps.
If Adywan was to fix a few more things in TESB:R, would he do what was done in the 2019 transfer, and fill in the dark spaces in the upper right corners of the shots of Luke’s X-Wing sinking?
I think he said he wouldn’t be doing more work on ESB. At least no new changes.
The first finished sequence of V.2 is coming tomorrow, 4/27.
Stay tuned.
Never mind. I figured it out. We just have to read the thread.
You’re extremely rude. Please read your comments out loud before you post. unnesacary.
Now we would like to see your progress posts on the Jurassic Park restoration that you’re making. But there’s a little problem with that, TWGWNN, isn’t there?
I don’t understand what you’ve just said.
That’s just a song.
oops. Sorry, fixed it.
Because whenever we try to get a code, nothing is there whenever we look on our emails. Can you help us?
Emails? What?
Here’s the invite code:
oeNviLBGWPEd2uPpLk-A5yWiE_hy-n8R
I think Tw1tchY is saying that he’s having a hard time getting into the forum, the same as I am.
If you need an invitation code, just ask. Why are y’all being so vague? “sign up limitation”.
They all look alike.
They don’t.
The Despecialized .mkv has Hairy_Hen’s 5.1 mix, which is a recreation of the 70mm six-track.
Thanks Bede! That is precisely what I need. Do you know who I should PM for that? My version of Despecialized is Stereo.
PM me.
Dang it! His motor died. . . Jeff, get over there and spin the dang thing!
Most likely what actually happened.
I have been eagerly looking for this for a long time.
I think a few months back you were going to have Vader’s fighter light speed away after getting shot by the Falcon. Is that still accurate?
Yup. Still there.
You mean there is someone below frame under Artoo? Weird.
Behind him. Remember Artoo is much bigger in person.
Is that Kenny Baker? The resolution of the image does not make it clear what is being looked at.
It’s someone’s fingers. Definitely not Baker, as he would be inside Artoo.

Just donated $200, lets get that goal

Little progress report:
I’m about 60% done with DevEd V.2. I found a hard drive with a bunch of master renders of effects shots I did on my old stolen computer; they were unnamed (my fault), but it made things much easier—not having to re-do most of these shots. The majority of what’s left is re-painting the lasers and lightsabers, as well as some recompositing work. I’m not gonna give a release date, but it’s gonna be here sooner than we expected.

I was working on my 4K77 preservation, and I noticed something it this shot of Artoo turning his head. It seems that you can see the fingers of someone spinning their head with their hand. And at first I was like “that’s cool.” “Never seen that before.” Until I looked at the Blu-ray,y AND IT’S BEEN DIGITALLY REMOVED! I checked the visual comparison website, and it isn’t there either. Has anyone else seen this?
4K77 (degrained)

2011 Blu-ray (color corrected)

Fuck, that looks amazing!
thanks.
Here’s a higher quality comp of a previously finished shot (with a few adjustments).

What are you talking about?
Just donated $10. More coming soon.
You’re the man, Glenwood!
New comp:

Had to replace the explosion, background, and left X-wing.
