  "Thief" remastered theatrical cut
Posted by: Beber - 2025-08-30, 07:41 PM - Forum: Requests, proposals, help - Replies (23)

Hey, guys.

I see on movie-censorship (https://www.movie-censorship.com/report.php?ID=597171) that the latest DC available from Criterion and Arrow simply has one extra scene circa 10 minutes in for about 82 seconds and the rest is the same as the theatrical cut. So recreating the theatrical cut based on the remastered DC would be pretty straight forward. Only one shot has to be taken and color matched from the theatrical Blu-ray because it's longer while it fades into the extra scene in the DC. We can just use the theatrical Blu-ray as timeline and adjust the colors a bit on the remaster so that the teal turns into a prettier cyan shade and that's it. I'll probably do that in a not too distant future. Some audio analyst will just have to determine the pitch issue @titanic mentionned to me and fix it if needed so that I include a proper track. What do you think?

Hi I'm a new fan of finding original showings and restored footage of my favourite films, I believe it's important these are protected and preserved

Hi everyone!

I’m rudedogg, and I’m glad to be part of this awesome community.

I’ve always had a passion for restorations, fan edits, and film in general. Over the years, I’ve made a few personal tweaks to movies I own but nothing quite as ambitious as some of the impressive projects I’ve seen around here. It has definitely sparked the editing bug though!

I’m hoping to share some of my custom work soon (if there’s interest!) and learn from those of you who’ve been deep in the fan edit world. I’m excited to dig in and get better as I explore what’s possible.

Cheers!

  Program/Settings for watching in VR
Posted by: Wak Nanook - 2025-08-22, 06:18 PM - Forum: Everything else... - Replies (21)

In my personal opinion, what's great about watching movies in VR is that you can align yourself with the optical axis of the lens, creating a true (looking through a window effect.) You can also enlarge the screen to such a degree, that you start to inhabit the space of the image, depending on your comfort/preference of course.

I prefer the sweet spot of minimal eye/head movement with maximum immersive size.

My plan is to create a series of 4:3 BD + DVD hybrids for watching in VR. 4:3 is very close to the IMAX aspect ratio of 1.43:1, so hence, in theory, you're creating an IMAX version of the film. 

Here's what I use.

Program: Whirligig (Most Customizable/Adjustable program I've found)
Mode : Cinema

Window Experience Settings
Size = 3.7
Distance = 3.8
Tilt = -2 (Will need to adjust so centered for you)
Horizontal Curvature = 70
Vertical Curvature = 30

In Movie Experience Settings
Size = 4.7
Distance = 3.8
Tilt = -2 (Will need to adjust so centered for you)
Horizontal Curvature = 70
Vertical Curvature = 30

Whirligig offers several different media formats for playback. Select the one that works for you.

Please feel free to join the discussion.
