hi everyone just wanted to say that

Gonna talk to them tomorrow. Can't imagine that this is the "final" resolution of the trailer. And compression aint good, too :-(

don't insult super8 like that! did you have a talk with them? minus the very obvious issues with the files you received it looks like a good scanner - https://ibb.co/Byqt4xd (super8 4k)

Really, really disappointed. It was scanned at "Berola", Germany

Not sure where you got that scanned but yikes.

Just got the scan of my "the beach" trailer. Its a 4k wetscan and looks like super8 footage....damn :-(

that is from the UPS

tried without the UPS? also maybe try from laptop without power adapter plugged in to confirm theres no ground loop

Any OG Cap artists know wtf this noise interference is? I've got everything through AVR Sinewave UPS (for dirty power).. LD or VHS, changed rooms, cap cards, between laptop/desktop, turned all powered devices off.. its all the same. What the hell is doing this? https://i.imgur.com/GhuzE93.jpeg

Cameron destroying his own movies since 2017

Come on guys it's going to be fun ride!

I expect the worst for T1 UHD

And the best one overall is the 1995 LD release for both picture and sound quality. Before and after are not that great (between the first LD release in 1985 and 1991 release on the former; 1997 DVD on the latter for inferior of the same mono audio master as the 1995 LD release)

I don't expect anything decent coming from Cameron anymore. Pictured AI'd and degrained and no mono mix. And he's vocal about it

No mono was a given, it's upscaled in 4K just like all the others. Putting the mono in there just doesn't fit, it's a thing now for fanrestore.

probably dnr'ed to death since it's a very grainy movie and cameron doesn't like grain. not holding my breath. every older cameron movie on 4k was a let down

Is there even any hope the video will be half decent at this point?

The Terminator was announced on 4K BD from Warner Home Video WITHOUT the original mono https://www.blu-ray.com/news/?id=35154

Canadian BD cannot be applied to a remaster

I have 2x HDTV with logos and 1 low-bitrate WEB-DL

bendermac - I'm looking for remastered Open Matte

Canadian BD from Alliance is OM

For hybrid

I'm looking for better Open Matte source

Maybe someone have an Amazon AMC+ subscription and can check this title

Open matte.

VS may be preparing THE KEEP for release https://new.reddit.com/r/boutiquebluray/...t_appears/

probably somewhere local, lots of people offer such a service and shipping is expensive

Anyone got a tip for place to get a "cheap" 35mm scan in Europe?

No way! Corey Yuen was a legend. RIP

Just found out HK actor Corey Yuen died. Apparently, he died in 2022 but it wasn't revealed till now. Cool dude.

Good evening :-)

Watched Black Box, thought it was pretty good

The funniest thing is most of the guys who complain about the AI use are family men with several kids. Also most people who collect UHD and Blu-ray are well established financially with superior jobs. They also probably use their basement for very costly home-cinema set ups with large armchairs and Atmos sound.

that's supposed to be a good movie, I think there was a sequel? not sure

@CSchmidlapp You can get it on iplayer.

Cheers Alleycat, I will hunt this down.

I watched a really good French movie the other day called Black Box. It's about an audio analyst who works on black box recordings from crashed planes and he starts to uncover inconsistencies with the recordings, very much in the style of Blow Out. Anyway the reason I mention it is while he is listening to the audio he is using Izotope RX. And he's actually using it with the correct interface etc, it's not the usual Hollywood completely fabricated software. Just cool to see a program I use on a regular basis being used in a movie.

The words of Cameron makes even the viewers encourage to contribute the donations of fan scans, regrading and (proper) perserving his movies. Disgusting for those wanted a non-DNR, non-AI upscale and closest original grading of his movies.

He's lost it. A self righteous, pompous, know it all. He's made some truly great films, but he's so blinded by digital is good, he fails to recognize how he's destroyed his previous work, and the work of all the cinematographers and colorists that made those films look so good.

What he said about his BD transfers really ticks me off

omg, he went with the mom's basement smartassery there... https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies...235972175/

That's a beast

@Plissken1138 thank u very much!

Anyone here near Chatsworth, CA? Free film scanner oppurtunity. https://x.com/sleepyserenade/status/1821641771279118366

@Bilbofett this series of video essays is brilliant, PTA among them https://vimeo.com/search?q=the+directors+series

this was really enjoyable. He uses audio clips from other critics during the TWBB segment (he says nothing). Kinda genius https://youtu.be/A_Y_xtIslpk Starts w/ Norm MacDonald interviewing M. Night about developing a style

Nice

2 other may get them later on. If true... This would be indeed some really good news

Looks like A Nightmare on Elm Street will get the Unrated version on 4K https://collider.com/a-nightmare-on-elm-...steelbook/

does anyone know how spoRv is doing?

of interest to Shining/Kubrick/King fans-> https://youtu.be/ipBpO2C5LTU

Just for fun, I took the Dolby TrueHD 5.1 from "Magnolia 1999", made an isolated instrumental, removed sound fx, dialogue. No commercial 24-bit 5.1 version exists, only the stereo PCM. My process was lossless all the way through (aside from the AI tinkering). Link is under the "Released" section of audio projects

And there is a podcast from Juno Reator with Brad Fiedel uploaded a week ago! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vMRAhfxh...unoReactor

@bendermac Thanks for this, Juno Reactor are one of my favorite bands (if you can call them that) and this was magic. I had no idea this happened

The Terminator & Terminator 2 Live Orchestral Soundtrack with Brad Fiedel - only 11 minutes, but totally worth it

@NCseventeen here's an idea; use a Luma key on the version of the film w/ the grain plate on it, because there should be more grain in the darker parts, less grain in the lighter. So you mix it w/ the original. You can also use a rougher grain on the night parts, finer on day parts. Also slap a deflicker filter on because it will mix the flicker of that w/ the original and add unwanted weirdness

But it did look very promising from the glance I gave it. Was the original print faded?

Sorry I did have to remove your link. We don’t allow direct link to material. It’s better to post a thread about the project and then if people want it then they can PM you.

as in its hard to pull off its not as easy as just rising the exposre and then layering a grain lut.. anyways tips would help big ups

Cause grains are an art on its own..

Here is the thing i enjoy feedback i am learning but a lot of these looks are meant to give ya 35mm experience. they are novel i am not working a pro studio.. but i do take my time trying to match if i have good sources..but i wil say the people explain the process of wot i am doing it sounds easy.. but if others can show their work would help..

The beyond (35mm Emulation) it says scan i miss labeled but dont wanna re upload..

thx guys

Patreon model works for me best because it rolls over and then its easier to get consistancy especially after u are delivering wot u promise...

Also it has be a bit loosely explained cause i dont want the feds at my door.. if u notice.. it just says donnations for photos..

if its emulation mobo jumbo or share vimeo link or wotever...the goal is a scan.

Ill be honest everything is for getting scans done..

OK thanks for clarifying. Feel free to create a thread about your process at some point. I'd be curious to discuss it.

SOme months may take bi monthly for the scan but.. first month we hit it right away

some movies i make emulations just for myself to watch and ill post pics

end of month you get a exclsuive 35mm scan..

then each week a member picks a film and we talk about the emulation process. thats it..

then i do emulation again for free.

35mm scan i share are on my twitter and they are films everyone has been sharing for freee same as me free.

So here is how it works

@NCseventeen Again pretty sure I said I don't understand and I am confused, a few times, and I have made no judgements since I have never seen anything you have done. Just a statement of fact. Not being mean. If you want to discuss further, perhaps a thread is a better place then the shoutbox.

And make it clear the site is there to raise money for scans i do not give existing scans if i do its free..

enjoy your weekends

Anyways guys a 70mm emulation set scan by me https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zgh1ALHW...cdcolombia

Well guess wot my system is diffrent. and my scans will be avaialble on my patreon and discord.. the emulation is all free .. no diffrent than u guys re editing mulan... or lion king lol.. and the ones i give there we go over wot i did and we talk about it as a comunity more for learning emulation better for all of us... inclluding me

Secondly the emulation stuff is free...

Firstly my patreon is there to just raise money for a 35mm scan per month...

I think u guys are all very confused and need to figure out whats going on before making judgements.

And in regards of keeping hard worked stuff to patreons, personally I can fully understand, as at OT many scanns are only avaible to contributors, to avoid people use others hard work for things like bootleg masters, or to sell for profit.

As for research, this place has existed for almost a decade, we have seen a fair amount. Perhaps you shouldn't be quick to judge us also?

Also I don't recall hating or judging on anything you have done, because I have never seen anything you have done. As far as I can tell, its all kept to your pateron. Which is fine, that's your choice.
