I just got hold of the original Aliens THX DVD of the SE (first release). The trailer on that one looks very much like the blu-ray minus the blanket tint! Lots of cyan
Is there a thread or project somewhere for the perseveration of studio logos and idents? Was watching a bunch yesterday (old UA, CBS FOX Video, New World Pictures etc) and was wondering if there was an audience for it? Would be a good resource for other preservation projects as well
Because for AFOD I was hoping to extend the title track a bit in its first couple of uses (specifically, when Joe confronts the Baxters that had earlier attacked him, and later when the Baxters are preparing for their dinner with the Rojos).
Keep in mind that whatever 2nd monitor you settle on, you'll probably need a calibration kit (hardware/software). BTW, is there a thread here with all this kind of info? If not, maybe you should start one so we all can refer to it long after these Shouts fade away. It would make a good thread.
And as for actual stuff from BMD, would their UltraStudio be recommended? Because that's the cheapest external I could find being offered on their site.
^ ^ ^ Thanks for that heads-up on the RIP. Now what does FTW mean? Well according to http://acronyms.thefreedictionary.com/FTW -- Forget The World, Fare Thee Well, For Those Wondering, For The Worms, Forever Two Wheels, Frank The Welder (mountain bikes), Future Technology Workshop, Forward Towards Wing (Hattrick online game), Families Than Work, Free The Wookies, Forever Truly White, Forward The Word, Full Throttle Workshop, Forever Together Whenever (gaming clan), Face The World, Free Trade Wharf, For The World, Free To Watch, Florida Tax Watch, For The Wolf, For The Wii, For The Weak, Free The Weed, Feel The Wind, Flying Training Wing, Free The Whales, Fight to Win, Feed The World, Feel The Wrath, For The Win, Follow The Way ... WTF (Where's The Fun) ?
Anyway, regarding the BMD equipment I'll be needing for manual color grading in Resolve... would a CRT monitor suffice, or do I need something else as my second monitor?
Well, you can pick anyone compatible with OSX (or you can stay Windows if you prefer), that's the beauty of HP elite 8300 or 8000, you can customise it without having to build it from scratch.
The best I seen is HP elite 8000 SFF can be had for 80 bucks, accomodate Yosemite, or HP elite 8300 (core i7) for around 300, can accomodate Sierra. Don't pay anything more, buy these used there are tons of them from retail stores, and customise with a graphic card, you have more performance for your buck than any costly other pc.
OK, supposing I was to future-proof for 4K, currently I have to choose between a Dell and a Lenovo (I'm an aspiring gamer, too). I'm trying to figure out which of my three options to choose here.
@MrBrown According to LDDB.com both Image releases are the same disc with different covers. The one with the Laserdisc showing on the right side of the cover is the earliest release. PM sent
I'm talking of House, the 80's horror film and its following chapters that finally just arrived on Blu-Ray. @DoomBot I did hear about some incorrectly framed scenes and I also had the thought that they could be easily fixed.
Well, technically, it's TV on Blu-ray in this case, but when it comes to TV on any home media format it's all the same, up to and including any music rights.
(and of course there is this about Easter in the Catholic Encyclopedia) -- "The [use of Easter eggs] may have its origin in paganism, for a great many pagan customs, celebrating the return of spring, gravitated to Easter. The egg is the emblem of the germinating life of early spring. The rabbit is a pagan symbol and has always been an emblem of fertility." -- https://answersingenesis.org/holidays/ea...an-origin/
Now I just need the first german VHS and the German LD (sadly, it is censored), and I would be satisfied regarding Movie Releases of that flick.. until some 2K or 4K restauration Remaster would occur... Too bad, the german VHS I would love to have even is more expensive than the japanese LD...
