Firstly, there would be no need, the sabre comps really transfer easilyto video, and it is nice and wide, there would be no reason to think it wouldn’t transfer that well to video. Having had to do optical composites, I find it really unlikely that this shot was recomped optically just for the telecine. The removed pieces of the negative were kept, and Disney now has them. Yes, not all shots were re-done digitally, but those that were… it was in 2K and put back out to film and cut into the negative. The wipes were done optically, not digitally and were done by Pacific Title. I can tell that by looking at the IR dirtmap.

He explained to George that everything was ready to cut in, but he wanted to know whether they should order a duplicate negative of the original version. Before doing that, however, Tom wanted to check something with George. “Soon all was ready to cut into the original Star Wars negative. The negative (or in some cases the IP) were scanned in at 2k, digitally manipulated and then output back to film as a new piece of negative. I don’t think all of the effects shots were redone, but from what I’ve read, those that were were done digitally. Author Chewielewis Time 1 9:33 AM Post linkīut the question is were any of the effect shots optically recomposited? Particularly this shot in ben’s hovel which would need to have a new rotoscoped saber element created.Īuthor Williarob Time 1 9:54 AM Post link Industrial Light and Magic - Into the Digital Realm, P.285-295.They re-composited all wipes and transitions (the “bread and butter” opticals, as Feiner calls them). Pacific Titles had eleven state of the art, modern optical printers with new lenses, which, when combined with Kodak’s finest film stock, gave “a boost in resolution and color saturation,” according to company vice-president Phillip Feiner. Ironically, just as ILM was retiring optical printers and moving into the digital realm, the technology was resurrected again. ![]() Inside The Star Wars Empire" by Bill Kimerlin, P 183.They were in my ILM editorial warehouse… We had the negative and everything else he was looking for.” They looked all over Los Angeles-no luck. “He found the original negative at Fox and the separation masters in a salt mine somewhere in the Midwest, but he couldn’t find the original negatives for the wipes. However, I do have evidence to support the claim that “All of the wipes and fades were redone optically for the Special Edition,” rather than digitaly: I’m more inclined to believe that the saber differences are simply due to the different path the media takes for telecine, but that’s just my opinion. It’s also not on the grindhouse version of 4K77.Īuthor Williarob Time 1 9:21 AM Post link So this dirt can’t have been on the original photography element else it would be white. And yes it would still be in both because it’s a composite shot and the dirt is on the film used to make the composite.īlack dirt is dirt on the positive, white dirt is on the negative.
