Yo, this actually put a really big smile on my face. Thank you so much for taking the time to fix and re-create this wonderful ride-film from scratch. The progress is incredible, and I wish you the absolute best. Once again, thank you so much for your work to preserve this piece of entertainment history.
I hope to see this projected completed one day. Very awesome stuff, I use your remastered versions of the BTTF Ride whenever I go on the Simpsons so I can somewhat experience what once was..
The color reference is the dvd scan. It's the only actual scan of the film. Even though the dvd is only the center of the frame it's actually quite useful for color information since the delorean is mostly moving forwards through the scenes so distant objects have a known color they should be despite moving out of the dvd's frame on into the vhs frame. I also use vhs ride footage from commercials and souvenir tapes to get a good average of what the color most likely was. I've noticed most commercials use the same exact press release scan of the film and the colors tend to be the same as the dvd scan so I know the dvd is a decent source for color info
@@ViewpointProd AI upscaling isnt useful here anyway as there does not exist a profile for this type of video. so ai would default to more simple methods anyway. by manually observing the changes myself i can determin if the changes yield information recovered . its the main reason im retaining information in the darker areas of the film.

The Restoration looks brilliant! Any new progress yet in recent years?
What's your methodology for color correcting between sources when we don't have a definite reference sample?
Amazing work as always!

@@Themaxleydog Fascinating. Thank you for the reply!
All I can say is wow. I am trying my best to restore the original Star Tours, but I doubt I will get results as good as this.
one of the issues with star tours is the lack of sources , ive tried it in the past as well.
@@Themaxleydog Yes that has been my biggest hurdle too. Most of the sources are so poor, they are unusable.
What about the 8K HD like the flight of passage the ride of avatar
what about it , finish your thought
please don't upscale with ai, they add in artifacting and interpolate, not add back detail
I'm not using AI to upscale it im doing it manually
@@Themaxleydog Oh thank god, well good work then
