Hello to everybody, I feel the passion emerges in the air, great community.

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

A while ago i got interisted in restoration happy to be here

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!

most of the videos i wanted to see a restoration of doesn't get it officially so I'd like to see what y'all are doing with them.

Hi everyone, yet another "hello" post from a new member.  I'm a big fan of Asian cinema especially from Hong Kong, Japan and South Korea.

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.

Will start another forum page with settings/discussion for VR watchers.

Let me know if there is any issues.

Hi,

I'm very much new here.

Been lurking here for a while and I'm finally ready to check out some theatrical audio tracks.
