They didn't hit one major landmark in Akron.

Now if only there was a way to get a 4K scan of the 35mm negs for the people sequences.

это очень круто. прям детство вспомнил

I mean the detail is not there but there is absolutely nothing immersion breaking about it. It was really well done.

vorlon ships look sick😊

Amazing work!

The only thing which doesn't really hold up is the explosions. With updated explosion VFX these would scrub up to modern standards very easily. And if all the external CGI shots are remastered, that's half the job. Then it's just a case of rescanning the original film in at 4K and re-doing some of the VFX. I'd so pay to crowd fund that. Even if it took 2 years per season

Spectacular! Maybe with the advent of advanced AI 4K upscaling of older sci-fi shows like Babylon 5 and Space:Above and Beyond can be a reality.

👏👍👍

This look awesome!

Baby ground music ruined it

Who did this ? Wow 2:43

The thing I always loved about B5 ships is how they obeyed Newtonian physics. Objects in motion remain in motion. That leads to some great shots, like Starfuries pivoting in place and facing the opposite direction to fire, while still maintaining their previous direction of travel, JUST like it would actually happen in real life!

Hahaha! i know that hull texture.

Man those Omega class ships still look so good.

NO OTHER SOFTWARE lets you re-do shots with updated assets. When SHREK got converted to 3D they had to do it BY HAND as if it were live action. The assets and scenes were too old to re-translate!

I hope so much for a reboot of this Franchise

i live around the younstown airbase those c130s are crazy that are stationed there and its not horrible irl.

Man i wish we got this in a streaming service. 4k re render all the seasons!

Is this still being worked on? I want the widescreen versions upscaled and the effects redone!

damn that looks good

The Babylon Project was our last best hope for peace...It failed.

this has to be some of the finest videography ever!

This is absolutely stunning 🤩The ratio looks larger than 4:3. I've been reading that the special effects deteriorates if done in a stretched manner of 16:9, yet your vid looks larger than 4:3 but with absolute perfection. How is this "wierding way" accomplish? You must have a Vorlon inside you😂

I used to live in Mason, always took off either from Dayton or CVG on trips. Nice country around there. Loved driving to Serpent Mound once every other month.

Does anyone know if more scenes were re-rendered? It would be incredible to replace them in the HD versions of the episodes - thus truly having a visceral HD experience!

Why are Shadow craft described as crabs? They look more like Spiders.

great work!

For those saying B5 will never be a remastered B5. WB has remastered and is releasing the complete series (plus pilot, minus movies) on BluRay on 12/5/23 JMS has stated this will be the best picture and audio to date even slightly better than the HBO Max release.

Really amazing stuff. I am a big B5 fan, its one of two series I watch repetively (The Sopranos being the other). It would be great for someone to make a computer generated film or short films with some voiceovers.. Amazing how people can reproduce the effects and how amazing they look now compared to then...

Sweet!

And now we're getting BluRay! [Does Happy Dance]

This was incredible! I wonder/hope that a similar process will be used to the originals so that they can be reproduced on Blu-Ray, which I would buy in a heartbeat!

"Original effects in 4K" is an oxymoron.

Beautiful.

Slick !!!!!!!!!!!

Amazing. Thank you for your hard work. My favorite sci fi show.

I think the FX still holds up to today's standards. If I have ONE criticism, it is the overuse of Lightwave's default "GernricPanels.iff" texture file. Just about the only race's ships that don't use it are the Shadows and the Minbari.

If any series deserves a complete remaster it would be Babylon 5.

In Valens name that looks glorious 😊😊

That looks so amazing!

Wow this is impressive, well done! It would be nice if the series was remastered and upscaled to 4k. I would buy the series again if it looked like this. Nice job.

Beautiful work! I'd love a B5 remaster like this.

I'm a big fan of Babylon but I would love to see all the CGI updated instead of sticking with the PS1 level effects. Sure its great for its time though.

Wow ! Great job. B5 was recorded on film but the graphics were from Amiga 2000's running lightwave at standard NTSC resolution.

Just purchased a 58mm f1.2 Asperical after seeing your fantastic video can't wait to try it.

i would buy the whole series 5 seasons

I would love to see some of these updates make their way over to the fanedit community... I know the biggest problem are the composite shots, as these do not exist in higher resolution. HOWEVER, the possible way around those are to REDUCE them in size and create a wider shot around them... thus, when we are in a travel tube, we see more of the travel tube (creating a new effect) and put the old effect at the center in smaller form... similar to the old film technique of painting glass (matte paintings) around a live scene. Star Wars did this film technique, and it is detailed in "Star Wars Behind The Scenes - Matte Paintings - Star Wars The Digital Collection" Conceptually, we could take the existing scene, reduce it to its best clarity, and fill in the space around it with matching effects to make it "feel" high definition.
