The aim of this project was to recreate the on-set voices of its cast of characters, most notably Nick Adams who spoke English throughout production to only then be dubbed over by Goro Naya for the Japanese release.

He can be heard speaking his native language in the original trailer:
 

I finished this in June of last year and am pretty pleased with the results bar one small moment where the two soundtracks bled into one another during the scene at the diner. Sources for this project included the Criterion Collection and Classic Media release as well as the OST sourced from the Perfect Box set. The subtitles have been updated where necessary.

The finished project has been uploaded for all to enjoy, reply for a link.

Recently, I have seen a program that people are using to measure the light output in nits for HDR10+ and Dolby Vision. It looks like this:



Does anyone know what program that is?

Hey everyone! i am super excited to see what this site has to offer. I am a fan editor myself and have only worked on a few personal projects but would absolutely be open to sharing them if anyone was interested!

I had to restore an older movie that was previously wrecked w/ multiple layered bad interlacing choices, tons of jitter, ghosting, terrible resampling, on and on. What's left is a very stable movie, but it looks too sterile, clinical, waxy, lifeless. It was definitely shot on film (35mm?) and I'm seeking to add a wee tiny bit of grain back into it. Any grain that was there is long gone. I have several grain plates I could overlay in Premiere (or Resolve), but I'm open to ideas. The grain technically *should change over time in the running length, and increase in darker scenes and decrease in lighter scenes, right? It should be dynamic. Can you guys please give me some pointers/tips as this will be my 1st time attempting this. I *could go w/ a grain rendering program, but that route seems very artificial and I'd rather overlay some real grain. Please share some ideas, I appreciate your time and help!

While on one of my deep dives I stumbled across this online archive of Fangoria magazines. I think issues will be added as time goes on:

Anyone has any of the stereo LD tracks for this title? I found previous 5.1 surround on older Blu-rays to be lacking and the new one (found on UHD and new remastered Blu-ray) seems a different 5.1 remix. There's seems to be a digital track for the 1990 one, but also on the 1997 edition, which also contains a 5.1 on the other track (upmix, remix or 6-track?).
Any of these will do, depending on the whishes if someone is willing to share it unsynced, I can sync to UHD and share it here or if the owner prefers it not to, so it will be respected.
In any case, I want to compare it against the 5.1 mixes.

Really surprised that blah-ray never covered this one. I'd love to do a large scale comparison to see what sounds the best (if it's not already been done). Both the 7.1 and 5.1 are slightly different mixes but have lots of noise reduction applied.

I've listened to the blu-ray (3 different tracks) a random PAL dvd (5.1), an HDTV rip (5.1), and a late 80s VHS. The VHS easily sounds the best with much less NR, although my copy is thrashed so I'll have to seek out a replacement if it ends up needing a sync. Here's quick comparison to the 2.0 "original" mix that is included on the blu:

Looks like there are a bunch of LDs to choose from and there's a few other VHS copies I might have to snag. Anyone have any LD/VHS recordings or any input as to what mixes might sound the best?

Hello to all of you

It's my pleasure being here. As a Highlander historian in training I found some threads on this forum that looked interesting. 
Am looking forward to chatting with some of you. If you've got anything regarding Highlander II, send it to me!!

As some may know, this version was a butchered English export version of Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind released in 1985. This version has been seen theatrically in English speaking markets and on home video prior to the 2003 DVDs.

How hard would it be to reconstruct this version using the Nausicaä HD masters, outside of somebuddy obtaining and scanning one of those elusive 35mm prints?

I know it was edited down and all, but were there any added or reanimated scenes? Maybe stuff slowed down or redone optically? I think the only visual changes I saw were the opening credits superimposed into the first scene and new ending credits.
