Hi everyone, I am working on a very rare Restoration project called "House of Frankenstein 1997". I have captured the entire film from my VHS. This is probably the highest quality of the film that is known possibly and it's being converted with Starlight from Topaz Video AI. Half of Part 1 is completed and it looks like a brand new film. I'm editing the film to color correct and color grade once both parts are converted but the audio needs work. I used Logic pro and I was able to split the stems for the dialogue, sound effect and music for testing. I wanted to see if anyone might be interested helping me on the audio for the 3 hour film. This is an extremely rare film and I think I may be the only person with a high quality copy of the film. I'm not very good with Audio engineering but for video editing I'm very good at. Let me know if anyone would be interested so we can release another rare film to the public in high quality.

Aloha!

Hello everyone,
K8MASN here. I’m new to restoration work, but I’ve done a few personal projects in the past. My main interests are DVD restoration, HDR re-grading, and Dolby Vision grading.
Looking forward to learning from the community and crossing paths with many of you along the way. 

Cheers,
K8MASN

The audio released on the official DVD was so bad and poorly edited. So I spent the past three days making it "better".
Improved transition, added missing dialogues and sound effects.

I used the following for this edit:

• 5.1 Surround Hindi Audio from the Official Extended DVD
• 5.1 Surround English Audio from the Official Extended Blu-ray
• 5.1 Surround Theatrical English Audio from Amazon
• 2.0 Mono Hindi Audio from Amazon

Hello Everyone, looking forward to joining this wonderful community!

Hi, thanks for letting me in! I came here looking for The Matrix. Have a great day!

I am personally a massive fan of David Lynch's Dune and I have just seen the infamous Extended TV Cut (aka the "Alan Smithee" Cut), and personally in spite of it's extremely obvious faults I still greatly enjoyed my time with it. I am aware of fan edits that seek to "improve" the film and it's such as the famous Alternative Edition by SpiceDiver and Dune Deluxe Edition by 15MaF but I feel their scopes are too far grand and seek an audience that otherwise hates the film as is. With this proposal I wish to create a version of the official extended cut of the film that only changes and fixes the biggest issues with it (faked scenes, missing blue eyes, repeated scenes) while keeping the charm and quirks of the original Theatrical Cut.
I would start working on this immediately but I am currently backlogged with other projects at the moment, I am posting this here as a Proposal for the time being

Planned Video Sources:
ViaVision Extended Cut Blu-Ray (main video source)
Koch Media Theatrical Blu-Ray (source for missing Theatrical scenes in the extended cut)
SpiceDiver Alternative Edition Redux 1080p Rebuild (source for Freman blue eye fix)

Planned Audio:
2.0 Stereo
Surround Upmix (maybe 7.1?)

Planned Changes
- Restore the missing theatrical scenes (example: the Duke's heart plug murder scene)
- Remove obvious looped, fake, or duped scenes
- Restore Princess Irulan's narration (possibly the introduction as well but I quite like some of the added info in the TV prologue)
- Fix the Theatrical segments audio with the 70mm mix (for some reason the Extended 5.1 mix has them in lower quality)

Any updates I have I will share in this thread, Cheers for now

Welcome to insanity, guys. Brace yourselves.

As many of you probably already know, there's this thing called the Mandela effect that have people claiming to have collective memory of things of the past that the current official world claims never existed. I don't care about the validity of either claim, sci-fi parallel reality theories, conspiracies and such. I'm just interested in the so-called movie Shazaam starring Sinbad that some claim was released before the Kazam movie starring Shaquille O'Neal that some claim is the reason why many people get confused. I already read all about it, seen videos on the subject, the April fool video Sinbad made around 2017 to mock the situation, the fake VHS covers and labels someone fabricated, etc. I seem to remember that it did exist back in the day though, although I never saw it, neither the Shaq one for that matter, as I was already too old to watch kid movies, but to me it was one of those movies with a similar concept such as Volcano and Dante's Peak or Armageddon and Deep Impact for instance and I'm pretty sure I saw it on a shelf in videostores in the 90s. So I figured, since this forum is international and dedicated to film history and preservation, if it did in fact exist, maybe somebody here has a VHS of it, either a real edition or a TV recording. Yep, insanity, I told you!

I am new to this and enjoy all the projects. Edit: Forgot to say:

Love the absolute creativity and dedication that fan edits/restos highlight. Glad to be here!
