Lord of the Rings trilogy - open matte

[Chewielewis]

KK650's fellowship is the best we have at this stage. The other two movies are pretty damn close to the EE DVDs its fine watching them.

Thanks. I'll get to seeing these at some point but merely wondered since there's miles of forum pages elsewhere going on about recoloring etc.

I'd make a hybrid, but my processor's outdated. I shouldn't have added noise.

Thanks Colek. That might be super useful.

spoRv are you still working on this?

I know that Tower and Return don't have open mattes but I would still love Fellowship in OM...

[spoRv]

PDB not currently work on the OM trilogy, so if you want to...

Actually, TTT and ROTK are available in OM, albeit with logos; Colek, if you can record them it would be great!

Well, I hate to do any work that you could do in the future, don't want to be redundant. Especially since you are better at logo removal.

Also I don't have any recordings, so the point might be moot. I'd probably need at least 2 or 3 recordings for logo removal and frame replacements, etc.

Might be nice to do a few color corrections also. Original HDTV/DVD color timing and the EE color timing moved closer to the theatrical timing.

Was that ever determined for sure? Last I remember I thought a few shots (SFX?) were open but overall both were cropped from the scope. I hope I'm wrong on that.
