[Idea] The Shining (1980) - UAR regraded
#1
I've got the occasion to capture the Italian laserdisc; sadly, it has the last few minutes of side A corrupted... apart that, it is open matte 1.33:1 (more or less); I've noted it has quite a lot more image on top, while missing on bottom (in comparison to DVD); and, no pink tennis ball; so, why don't make an UAR regraded version?

status: prealpha (I can't get rid of the blueish blanket on the left side of the laserdisc - yet, at least)

Opinions?

(note: I know that I have at least another project to make right now, indeed this would eventually start later)

Is "All Work and No Play..." in Italian? I know multiple language versions of Jack's manuscript were shot, but only the early pre-DVD video editions seem to have them.

You can see quite a lot more in a 35mm unmatted print. Wink

Isn't there an iTunes version out there that is already fully open matte as well? I imagine it would look a bit sharper than the laserdisc. Or is it the same as the DVD?

there is open matte of international cut, but it's quite bitrate starved at less than 5GB for 1080p. seems the framing is the same as dvd.

here's a frame from the same comparison scene:

Elaborate, please... it's almost 3am now, can't think so brightly...

...

35mm open matte: where I can get it?!? Wink

iTunes: frame size is smaller than DVD and LD

OK, got it... should check, but probably it's in Italian, as well as all the text, beginning and final credits.
At what minute - more or less?

Great spoRv!
I'm still waiting to find a way to digitize my Italian Laserdisc. Let's hope this one has no damage.

"Il mattino ha l'oro in bocca" is confirmed!

And... I guess the tennis ball should be yellow, don't you agree?

Top BD, bottom UAR:

I've decided to leave the laserdisc out, because its quality is too low and does not blend well with the rest, and also I can't match colors perfectly...
