P3laton3 Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 For anyone interested in the Star Wars, 4k, Technicolor restoration process:UPDATED LINKFrom the Artist (Mike Verta):"Like a lot of you, the original Star Wars is why I became an artist. Formany years I've been restoring it in full 16-bit, 4K anamorphic, withmembers of the original VFX crew consulting. My goal is not to improve theoriginal film or its effects, but to restore them to their 1977 glory. Ihave a Vimeo channel with before and after clips on it here:https://vimeo.com/channels/starwarslegacyIt is a passion project for posterity, nothing more, and extremelyslow-going, but the results are Star Wars at a quality that has never beenseen before, save perhaps at ILM in 1976. It is also a one-man show,and I've gone through about 4,000 mice and trackballs, so I'm looking forcolleagues who might like to help with such sexy tasks as stabilization andclean-up. If you are inspired by the clips above, please don't hesitate toreach out!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P3laton3 Posted April 2, 2015 Author Share Posted April 2, 2015 The guy was was used to work for Lucasfilm.A friend of mine told me that as he'll finish the project is going to approach Disney to release it and it won't be a SE edition :thumbsup: "He has done a better job than the guys did with the blue rays and SEs" *cit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrainWreck Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 I think you're being blocked by Lucasfilm. Look at the url that appears when you are taken to the web page. Playing around with a Google search took me to a Lucasfilm remote access login. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrainWreck Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 If he wants to have them up on the web I would recommend not having it with Star Wars tags. That way he can show people and link to it without having to worry about Lucasfilm hunting down every copy of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheDon Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 Mike Verta has a amazing attention to detail. I assisted on his Artoo build...it's stupid accurate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 Great link! I have watched ANH with the corrected colour, and the removal of the magenta tinge gives a more accurate colour representation, especially to the backpack parts! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FIVE Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 That comparison is amazing and shocking! I know that the fan-done restorations are better than Blu-Ray... this just proves it... again... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ex507 Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 Me being a tv salesman is one of the reasons i am totally into framerate/color accuracy/resolution/blur and every other thing that has anything to do with the experience of superb picture quality so i find this extremely interesting. Keep on going, it's great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
