The blurb: ‘A deep dive into the visual integrity and enduring technical quality of the 1981 classic, Raiders of the Lost Ark. This video explores how director Steven Spielberg and cinematographer Douglas Slocombe achieved the film’s spectacular, timeless look on a tight schedule and budget.’
Is it even possible to get this version? I ask because ‘MJBenito’ hasn’t been active for a long time.
Yes, it is. Though this place isn’t a download site - it is a community.
Fellow members are more likely to help you out if you are a participating member of the community here; you don’t have to be a fellow fan editor, preservationist, tech wiz, artistic or skilled etc… just a member that has made, or is making, an effort.
NOTE: Many editors & preservationists choose not to make their projects available to ‘hit & runners’ or people with a post history of mainly asking for various projects - which is completely up to them. That some people join up here looking to simply take - instead of give something back; not even leaving a simple ‘thank you’, feedback or review, or join in with the community here - and instead move on to asking for more projects… is not encouraged. Such requests may likely be ignored or deleted.
and…
Do NOT make ‘link request’ posts for fan projects in any of the threads on here. Instead, use the time to look around and see how this community forum functions, our site rules & fan project rules, read through any of the pinned ‘Index & Help’ & ‘How Do I Do This?’ threads, as well as any of the fan project threads that may be interest you - and join in the conversations on here.
Leave some feedback or reviews for projects you have previously seen. Or join in the discussions about the Original Trilogy - or the wider Galaxy Far Far Away. Or participate in the discourse here on film, tv, music, art, books & comics, gaming, tech, history, sports… or life in general etc. Read up on how some of the many fan projects on here are made / evolve / come together - or check out the talented artists’ cover artwork, and budding authors’ stories, script-writing, and re-writes.
Simply becoming an active and participating member of the community on here means a significantly better chance of others helping you out in acquiring any fan projects you may be looking for…
^ though the whole linked post above is worth a read through - as is looking around to see how this place works - and doesn’t.
Good luck with it. 👍

This Star Wars Rebels writer did not take too kindly to Ahsoka Season making Sabine a Jedi.
https://thedirect.com/article/star-wars-rebels-ahsoka-sabine-jedi
A snippet…
Former Star Wars Rebels writer Henry Gilroy recently threw shade at Ahsoka Season 1 over its shocking Sabine Wren Jedi twist. Davie Filoni’s 2023 streaming series, which followed up on the story set out by Rebels before it, saw Natasha Lui Bordizzo’s Sabine confirmed as Force-sensitive. This culminated in a divisive moment among fans during the Ahsoka Season 1 finale in which the armor-clad Mandalorian used the Force without any proper training to harness her powers.
During an appearance on the Pod of Rebellion podcast, Gilroy commented on Sabine’s Jedi turn in Ahsoka, calling it a shock and not what he had envisioned for the character when he was working on Rebels. “It was absolutely not the plan,” to make Sabine a Jedi, Gilroy posited, adding that, “We had a conversation in Season 3 about whether [to, and] we actually felt that not only did it step on Ezra’s story, but it was a retread:”
“It was absolutely not the plan. As a matter of fact, we had a conversation in Season 3 about whether that, and we actually felt that not only did it step on Ezra’s story, but it was a retread. Like we already did this. The idea of Sabine training as a Jedi when she is already this fantastic warrior of her own type, we felt like this is overkill."
He continued, remarking that he “had nothing to do with the Ashoka series,” so it was a bit of a surprise to see it happen, considering, as he put it, “pretty much our entire story team discussed and agreed that it was a bad idea:”
“So, honestly, I had nothing to do with the ‘Ashoka’ series. So I was shocked. Because pretty much our entire story team discussed and agreed that it was a bad idea. We did a pros and cons list, and we were like, ‘Yeah, is this kind of like a weak retreat. Why would we push that way?’”
Gilroy went on to describe how he thought Sabine didn’t need a Jedi bent to her to be considered a good leader or have a powerful story. One example he pointed to was the character’s journey with the Dark Saber.
“What I love about her story with the Dark Saber is you don’t have to be a Jedi to have Jedi ideals,” he lamented:
“However, what I love about her story with the Dark Saber is you don’t have to be a Jedi to have Jedi ideals, and embrace the Jedi philosophy. And I think that’s what’s really a more important thing, rather than like now I’m gonna Force push Ezra from his feet even though I have never used the Force before.”
The Rebels writer went on to reiterate that he thought making Sabine a Jedi “kind of diminished her [story]” as told in the hit animated series:
“Yeah, I felt like it really kind of diminished her in trying to make her a Jedi, because she doesn’t need it. She doesn’t need to use the Force.”

Something that would be interesting to see in these comparisons are GOUT screenshots and, for what it’s worth, screenshots of fan preservations that used the earlier ld releases.
That is an intriguing idea mate - though it is one I couldn’t do myself (it is already taking a considerable amount of time / effort in getting these done for each ‘upload batch’ - and am also finding my free time somewhat limited of late).
Although if anyone wishes to do so - please go ahead. 👍
(though please remember to not place too many images on a single page - the Image Screenshots & Comparisons ‘info post’ on Page 5 is an example of a very slow-loading page - given there are some 120+ images on there).
A little blue, but not very blue. Seems about right to me!
Same for me, mate. Loving the amount of detail - and the amount of work they’re putting in - on getting the image just right.

The blurb: 'Ever wondered why Steven Spielberg avoids using wide open apertures in his films? In this video, we’ll dive into the filmmaking techniques that make Spielberg’s movies look so sharp and detailed. We’ll explore how his choice of aperture affects depth of field, camera blocking, and focus.
Written Article with tables: https://wolfcrow.com/spielberg-uses-the-best-lenses-but-never-wide-open-why
Learn about Spielberg’s preference for wide angle lenses and how he uses them to create dynamic and immersive scenes. We’ll also discuss why he prefers keeping everything in focus and how this choice impacts his storytelling.
If you’re curious about the technical side of filmmaking or just a fan of Spielberg’s work, this video will give you a new perspective on his creative choices. Join us to understand why Spielberg avoids shooting wide open and how it contributes to the magic of his movies.’

Happy Life Day to all those that partake.

The blurb: 'Welcome to Darling to Me! Want to direct a scene like Steven Spielberg? Dive into this incredible example from Catch Me If You Can where every single shot is a building block. It’s not just about cool camera moves; it’s about how those moves, combined with performance, blocking, and shot choices, all feed into and set up the next moment, creating a powerful and often subtle impact.
We break down how Spielberg orchestrates Tom Hanks’ performance and physical presence, using it to motivate and amplify camera movements that signal key character realizations. See how wide shots and deliberate lighting choices aren’t just aesthetic but actively work to emphasize loneliness and isolation.
Discover how the carefully planned use of parallax in camera movement keeps you guessing and builds unease, even in seemingly simple shots. Learn why Spielberg holds off on close-ups until the perfect moment, allowing the tension to build naturally through the interplay of wider framing and subtle performance cues, culminating in impactful, sharp cuts when the emotional stakes are highest.
This analysis reveals how a master director ensures that no shot exists in isolation – each one serves the greater narrative and emotional arc of the scene. It’s a masterclass in visual storytelling, showing how seemingly small details create significant meaning.’
