The Omega Man - Digitally edited
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 15 авг 2024
- Firstly, this isn't a comedy or parody video as you're no doubt used to seeing from me; this time I have used my talents to fix something.
The Omega Man is a great 1971 movie starring Charlton Heston.
I've digitally edited out some of the passers by and vehicles to make the protagonist seem more alone.
I wonder... I might "repair" other movie scenes in the future... this has been hard work, but quite rewarding.
Believe me back in 71 when I was 10 years old and saw this on the HUGE screen at the theater nobody noticed these things, overall they did a good job of making the city look deserted. One of my favorite movies.
I was 13 or so and saw it on the big screen. It made a big impression on me!! The ending ......... 😢😢😢😢
Yeah back then you weren't able to rewatch and scrutinize the images. I first saw OM back in the 70's and didn't notice this stuff until 30+ years later when I had a DVD copy. Some of the red lights I never noticed.
Also saw this film at age 10 during late summer of '71, at a DTLA movie theater! I remember it felt sort of creepy seeing the very same streets where filming had taken place. Immediately recognized Main and Spring Streets. The near completed twin ARCO and Bank of America towers were finally completed in 1972.
I'm the same age, and have always been taken w this movie. I love how the sound track is on par with the movie, the music still sounds gorgeous. Classic all around.
The exterior shots were done on a Sunday when the amount of activity would be minimal.
My all time favourite film!!
I must of seen it over 200 times, I know, I need to get a life!!
Peace From London. 🙏🙏
No, you don't need to get a life. Charlton Heston will be missed.
No my friend, watching this move is never a waste of time! I love it as well... Peace, from the U.S.A!
The sound track is really cool
One of the Greatest movies ever made! I also have seen this movie countless times and never grow tired of it! Heston was a legend! Great cast, and soundtrack.
And it's still 100 times better than "I am legend."
It took me 15 years of watching and rewatching this film to actually notice anything. Heston eluded to, in a few interviews, that the filming was difficult for a variety of reasons. I can imagine the headache involved with studio production wanting certain scenes and the director asking the crew “Are you sure everyone is off the damn freeway?” It adds to the lore of the movie. Still my favorite adaptation of I Am Legend even if it’s in concept/name only.
Great editing on this. You did what WB was too lazy to do. Thanks for helping restore, preserve, and promote an amazing part of film history!
Director to Editor - " I'd suggest just leaving those long shots as they are. Well no ones gonna notice anything moving in there that they'd be willing to fix themselves anyway, atleast not in another 40 years they won't! " 🍷
Charlton Heston picked a perfect time to make science fiction and he got attached to the greatest music one time ever later this musician would never outdo himself Omega Man was the best symphony
A remastered edition of Ron Grainer's soundtrack, weighing in at an impressive 66 minutes, is still available at Film Score Monthly. Only 3000 produced! I've got mine.
I just wanted everyone to know that walking man was my late father he told me he was in that particular scene .
“THERE ARE NO TRAFFIC LIGHTS DAMMIT! THERE IS NO LIGHT!”
Excellent work. These did bother me, but only after someone pointed them out. You have done a masterful job of removing them. For an older movie it still holds up today. I'm a huge Heston fan.
I must've watched this movie 500 times already, I never noticed those people before until you pointed them out to me
Coming in 2020:
THE CORONA MAN
😄👈
Hey. Imagine The Very Many Mudflooded Skyscraper 2nd Civilization Buildings 1810-12 or So! I'd REALLY Just Like To See Up From Central Park (NYC) The Pre Existance of the 'Greats Leftovers! Jeffrey Epstein's Home May Have Been An Assumed Residence as Well as The Hearst Estate! The Archway Heights In Our Own US Capitol! THEE Founding Fathers!...of The CERN Created Timeline and False Reality? (+ is 6) The Walking Dead. Zombie Apocalypse! ...and the fig was ripe!
Night of the living dead Trumpanzees 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Always get some cunt trying to spoil the thread.
It's been ages, but I think I remember in the magazine Fangoria that the production company was filming early on Sunday mornings in LA to get those empty street shots...So they would have to wrangle the least numbers of public pedestrian/car traffic out of the way.
It's great to see you back!
Yeah, they filmed it in the financial district apparently. Obviously the technology wasn't around to edit out the unwanted bits then, and they haven't bothered since. Just waiting for that call from Warner brothers now, hehe.
Thank God you did this. It has bugged me for years. One of my favorite movies.
Great movie got it on blu-ray. I saw this when I was in UK Forces in Gibraltar 1971 great cast. Very topical now. "STAY IN YOUR HOME'S !!!"," STAY IN YOUR HOMES '!!". Thanks for doing this, I saw Chuck and Ben Cross in the play the Caine mutiny Court Martial in Manchester UK in the early 1980's. He had a slight cold then but it was fun to see him. Once again as a fan THANK YOU.
Great job!
Now edit the typical sad 70s ending and let Neville win lol!
yes should have been a win ending
100% agree! Only thing I don't like about the movie is the ending... if Neville at least took out Mathias before then it would have been so much better.
@@paulbradley8533 Someone made a "How Omega Man should have ended" video on youtube using edited scenes, it is pretty good.
@@cocoavideos I’ve seen it! It was great lol! Definitely how it should have ended with Neville taking out Matthias, and then dying on the cross.
@@paulbradley8533 Yes I laughed so hard the first time I saw that "alternate ending"...actually felt emotional relief as odd as that may sound. I read somewhere that originally Omega Man was supposed to end with him getting away, but Heston suggested to the director that he die at the end as it would make "a bigger impact". Not sure if true but several of Heston's movies end badly and they definitely left a "bigger impact" on me.
I wish they add these fixes to the blu ray
My all time favorite film. I have scene it the same number time. When it's on I have never missed it.
GREAT JOB = GREAT MOVIE !!!
When he yells out for Matthias and they zoom out from five stories up that's when you know you're a superstar
I really liked the way they edited out all the people, vehicles and traffic lights from
"The Omega Man, now if they could only add restore all the deleted, never before scene footage from the film too!!
The film is set two years after a chemical war between the sino- soviet forces. Weeds and other plant life would be growing in more abundance. I also noticed vehicles in the distance.
THERE ARE NO VEHICLES MOVING, TRAFFIC LIGHTS BLINKING, OR PEOPLE ON THE SIDEWALKS, DAMN IT!
Just joking. One of my Top Ten Favorite SF/Horror films! 🤗
Great work, but the traffic lights would have been on an autonomous battery system in 1971 to 1975 which would have continued for years, decades, without maintenance. They had their own battery stored grid system as they have today. The lights would have kept going in mathematical sequence. The rest is great, though. The cars and people that most viewers never notice unless someone with a clearer print, such as a new 4k/8k HD disk, might see while those who only saw the film in theaters or on low-resolution television broadcast might not. Very well done!!
Watched this film so many times I never noticed any of the people or vehicles.
Excellent work.
Director to Editor - " I'd suggest just leaving those long shots as they are. Well no ones gonna notice anything moving in there that they'd be willing to fix themselves anyway, atleast not in another 40 years they won't! " 🍷
Although I applaud your efforts, NO ONE even noticed these little inaccuracies.
They could not, because there was no such thing as home entertainment back then. Today, you can see every detail. I think that is the point. Such small detail is part of the course in film making these days. Thank goodness for CGI.
I watched The Omega Man at the Granada Theater in Ontario, California in 1971, I was 18. I not only noticed the mistakes included in the above video but contrails, some with the aircraft in the lead of a couple.
I seen this movie 1971 at 12 1/2 years old at the Fox Theater Aurora, Colo .It changed my way of thinking about the world I was living in. Andromeda Strain is another mind bender---OH don't forget Planet of the Apes --- 1968 at the Havana Drive In Theater.
Awesome job! The elephant in the room, however, is the smog visible all over the city. A city void of humanity would not be smoggy. After living in LA for several years, i can confirm that there are rare days in LA when the air sparkles. Its incredibly beautiful to see , especially with the crisp view of the nearby mountains. 1970’s LA was notoriously smoggy, so I guess they had to just pretend brown air is normal. Lol
Great Job !
very cool! I saw it when I was like 10 or something fave film I got it on dvd.
I love it the music and fixing this movie
fANTASTIC!!!
Wonderful! I saw the film 10 times in 40 years, even 35mm. Never noticed that many...
Where he jumps the curb with the Ford XL convertible - Santee Street and 8th Street, DTLA.
I had only ever noticed the red traffic lights but I thought it was just me because I could definitely hear somebody's phone too.
I picked up those red lights, the first time I saw the film on screen. Cool, concept. Just part of the image. Those weather damaged Easter signs in the school that turn my blood cold.
Great edit, thank you!! Always loved 'The Omega Man'!
Very impressive. They need to grab you for restorations of films like this!
Probably my dream job. Thanks.
Wow, never noticed all that before. Great work!
Good to see your still uploading BlackM00n. Loved "What in Spocks scanner".
You truly have a keen eye for detail - congrats on such amazing work!
..i never noticed these things when i wasn't looking for them.
There isn't enough editing that could be done to try and pull off this feat today with all the homeless real zombies roaming about in downtown L.A., especially since they have special vagrant rights.
Well done
BLACKM00NSTUDIOS !!!!!!
Super cool!!!
This movie may just become a reality soon. Right now I’m reading the book ‘I am Legend’ which this film is based on.
@
BLACKM00NSTUDIOS
Let us not forget the smog and contrails.
Well done.
great work, i saw the street lights and a couple moving vehicles when i watched the movie and wondered why they did not do what you did, guess technology not available. in 1985 day of the dead in helicopter scene over the city, you can easily see a car pulling to park on the street
Nice work. Taking the time to edit these scenes is no small effort!
The one most damning evidence of human activity in Los Angeles is its smog, which is unfortunately ever-visible, and even in today's digital world very difficult to remove. If somehow it could have been removed, optically, in 1971, it would have made a potent statement for the film, given that the Clean Air Act had only been passed the previous year. But good hunting!
Personally, I just assumed that these shots were taken before the contagion had run its full course.
It is pretty amazing that they did as good as they did back then. I am sure if they new about future technology they wish they had you to drop in from the future! Now you have made it perfect! But it is interesting, because this film looks a lot more real than all the movies today; their computer generated special effects animation really looks fake. Could you add one more? The one that really bothers me is the helicopter scene where Heston is overcome and crashes. If memory serves, I can recall seeing the glass bubble reflecting the ground and nearby trees, when Neville is supposed to be flying high in the sky. That one was pretty bad. I am surprised that they didn't see it in the rushes! This was fun to watch! Thanks!
This video should be named “My new insurance stopped covering my OCD meds but covered more of my ADHD meds”
All in all though, great video. Had not noticed any of that before during my viewwings and it’s satisfying to see them removed right after....
i think it was filmed on weekends and hoildays to make it deserted good job removing stuff it would be hard to shut down LA . There probably was a time limit to get it done . i love this movie .
Thanks
It's pretty odd, although I really never noticed these things when I've seen the movie( 50+times... possibly).
Show the before and after and for some reason in my mind the scenes looks cleaner.
I don't know if that makes sense but that's how I see it.
In my mind this is how digital stuff like this should be used, not just that but maybe to clean up and enhance old movies like this.
good to see vids from you again
superb work
Omg obsessive but fantastic!!!
This makes a surprising difference to how these scenes feel, nicely done! I haven't seen the movie but the changes are a clear improvement.
Now if you could just get the edited scenes included in the actual DVD-downloadable versions of the movie, we'd be on to something. SERIOUSLY: why can't whoever owns the copyright to the movie spend a tiny amount of money delete the gd traffic lights, pedestrians, etc which are visible at the start of the movie? The technology to do so today is dirt cheap to use. Would make THE OMEGA MAN's opening three minutes even more memorable than Will Smith's first three minutes in I AM LEGEND...
And maybe add some more comical alien creatures and ethnic extras in the background? Star Wars much?
the errors acutally make the film better
Most people saw this movie via broadcast television, many of them in black and white. With those technical limitations these small details were all but unnoticed.
Think 240p monochrome with much softening, contrast flattening, and noise.
Now, go to thre scene with Neville in his WC56 command car after he discovers Richie.
You can see the production lights, and the limit cable under the truck that they push in Neville's way (for repeated takes) and also remove the sliding explosive charge (you must've caught the poor edit here) and add the car impact bullet hits where they disappeared.
Very well done.
I certainly don't take away from the effort but this at least to me shows how much a good director, cinematographer and editor do (or, perhaps more accurate given today's "post" tech, had to do) amounts to sleight-of-hand, especially with those Veeeeeeerrrrrrry Looooooonnnnnnng Shots (EXT.). Put another way, what do you pay attention to up there on The Big Screen, especially on first viewing? The purposive action. And note in some of those action shots there are at least two simultaneous perspectives (e.g., the rear view mirror and the reflections on the windscreen). Tricky to get right no matter how hard you try.
I'd keep the spinning sign, aren't those often wind-powered? Great job, even if my observation skills are zero and I never notice errors like those in the movies without giant red arrows. I'm super well equipped for suspending disbelief.
You still missed one when he crashes the red car into the curb and you see the two dead bodies by the armored car or whatever that is you'll see one of the corpses legs mode will see the backlight move when he hits the curb by the armored truck and whatever that is the leg will pop up in the air
Sharp eyes! I noticed the raffic lights too. But I think the viewers attention was on the car
“He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.”
Impressive work! Wish the distributors of Alien 2 Sulla Terra had hired you for the end scenes in a deserted San Diego.
Tightness
When John Wayne cause you Pilgrim on screen
Hi Mark from Spain, good job. Can you also add objects digitally?. For example in the opening scenes when Neville stops to shoot at a hooded figure inside a building, his red jerry can is clearly visible before he shoots, in the back seat. After shooting he drives away, and the jerry can has disappeared. A minute later when he crashes his car, the jerry can has reappeared, but it has turned around and is lying against the back of the rear seat.
I’m guessing this was filmed at about 5AM on a Sunday in June to get SF this quiet in 1971?
When he crashers the car clear as day theres a guy walking in the background the obvious one iv seen how could you of missed that lol
4:16 Dr. BLACKMOONSTUDIOS! Is This The PharMaPhra?
well done! What software did you use to edit the clips?
You done a good job of removing all that ,What did you use to do all that?
I never noticed those elements before Nice job with the cleanup work though.
You cant see them anyways, no need to bother removing them.,
Powder blue GT Mustang white interior check machine gun check doctor bag check gas can check
Traffic lights? Wont they still be working
Do you missed one , when Heston, check the red Ford Flat tire
Classic film this i also liked the remake but wasn't on par to this i watch the film as a kid back in the late 70s and Soylent green both had a big impact on me .Now we have i am legend which is basically yet another remake for the 3rd time lol.
ACTUALLY YOU DON'T NOTICE THESE ITEMS IN THE FILM. YOU SHOWED VEHICLES SO FAR AWAY THAT NOT EVEN WORTH MENTIONING. UNLESS YOU ARE A PERSON WHO PICKS A PART A MOVIE THESE THINGS ARE NOT WORTH MENTIONING! 1 in a 100 people may notice the items you mentioned . Really not worth the time to tell about them because this movie is a masterpiece .
It is wrong to criticize someone else's efforts, even if you think they are not WORTH MENTIONING. WORTH is such a subjective and different thing to so many people, that we do not calculate others' WORTH lest our own WORTH be calculated by someone else.
wow I knew there were Mistakes in the movie But did Not how many , You did a great job, is this your Resume when you go to studios to offer your correction services?
Great job, but you really need to upload this in 1080p.
The other issue this film has is the mono soundtrack. The awesome soundtrack needs to be heard in stereo.
This is amazingly well done, and as someone who has been adoring this movie for fifty years, another cause to revisit - thanks for doing this
If it was for gig or school, I hope you won the argument
You have a great career awaiting at Warner Bros fixing up their stuff ups :)
Well you easily prove it could be done, and high quality too. When re-released in 8k your edited scenes will make the cuts. Do you think Charlton Heston even noticed? Remember Erie Scream in studio background recording rollercoaster single Supposedly ChiCk gettIng killed in Other room...Not.
Even back then Hollywood special effects team had capability to dowse stop lights. Which goes to show you laziness still earned a paycheck.
Indeed I thought to myself back then what a monumental task. What day and time can possibly be the best to catch such a busy City totally lifeless? No buses Running? Lousy public transportation service anyways in calli no?
Imagine paying extras to intentionally stay out of scene. I guess it could have been a lot More blatantly worse.
I would have been the pain in the ass listening to production teams scanner frequency back then. Lighting off a smoke bomb or skyrocket or two. Streaking with no clothes on in the background. Letting a few helium balloons or flock of pigeons loose. Then for next thousand years my ancestors could say look at your Asshole great great grandfather. Hey I just of something, Maybe why they played soundtrack to cover over ambient city noise like horns SirensDiesel locomotives.
Today not even peak of mandatory coronavirus shut down Could have made producers wish come true. Even somehow using still background picture would have required citywide electrical blackout.
You have too much time on your hands.
The coronavirus man
One of the worst is later in the film.
you need to chill dude
Planet of the apes
Now what about the AWFUL MUSIC - I would love a re-scored Omega Man!!!
Well done.
