[No Longer Available] Skyfall Open Matte (aka Skyfall IMAX Version)
#61
Jeez, as a Scot that has been cooped up in town this year, seeing the Highlands in your screenshots hits a bit differently to say the least. Really well done. Talking of being cooped up, hope everyone is doing alright!

(2020-07-13, 08:54 PM)I posted back in June & see that your work on Skyfall might be done now. Could I see your finished work on Skyfall please? It’s one of my favorite films & I have never gotten the chance to see it with the open matte. It would mean a lot to me. Thank you for all your hard work & time on the Skyfall open matte project. PDB Wrote: So update.

This has been done for over a month and about a half dozen people were nice enough to test it out for me. Pretty much everyone found it good but one person was nice enough to point out 3 or 4 shots with banding. It appears the banding is baked into both HDTVs and even a little bit in the BD. 8-bit what can you say? So I'm running some de-banding and dithering on it but I don't expect it to be perfect but hopefully better.

When that is done, I'll release this to participating forum members.

While searching for projects similar to this, I came across a potential new source for this project. It is described as a 4K AI upscale of an open matte source and is a little over 70gb. I haven't checked it out yet because I do not own a 4K release, but I can point someone in the right direction if they are interested.

I am certainly interested!

I haven't posted in this thread in a while because:

1. It was attracting random people
2. I have been re-doing this project

So the initial project was the upscaled HDTV proved by X5, which has much better compression then the Russian one. That then had the BD/UHD overlaided for 90% of the movie. I was happy with that final overlay version until I thought to try a few things ended up with, what I think, is a much better version. I wanted to release it before NTTD but it will still be a few weeks.

That's a much clearer image. What did you do exactly?

Regarding this clearer image/more detailed, i would suspect Topaz AI, but perhaps it´s also possible in avisynth.

There is a ton of upscaling of the top and bottom but the overlaying of the BD and sometimes the UHD does most of the heavy lifting.

In fact, AutoOverlay AviSynth did everything a long time ago, and by QoS 2008 everything was done too
