Ganymede & Titan Remastered

EPILOGUE: The fourth opinion, which was much less combinable than the other three, stowed away in a cloche – where it died of old age many years later.

They should make the banner have CGI photos instead of the real ones we get now. It’ll look so much better.

Performingmonkey is going to be called back in to retype all his old posts, despite the fact that he looks 20 years older.

Rumor has it they’re going to censor all the jokes that are in poor taste and that are about the UK so they can appeal to a more general audience. Of course, that means only about three worthwhile posts would remain.

This is a good thread.

I hope they finally address the issue of how empty the text here looks by adding nebulae in the background.

All text on the site will be changed to Times New Roman.

They’ll put a shitty effect over everything to make it seem more high production and movie-like.

That made me do a massive laugh.

I really wanted to actually make a TM:YNYN Re-Mastered for its tenth anniversary. Due to my lack of technical knowledge, the version on the DVD was edited from really low-res captures of the footage, and isn’t even bloody graded. I’d have recaptured it, did my best to make it look passable, recut it, reinstated some of the deleted scenes and shot a pick-up for that awful final shot of the fax.

Then I remembered that I don’t have the tapes any more. Ah well.

Then I’m gonna turn into a guy who looks like Slugworth from Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory to replace a perfectly good original actor in a scene about chess

The project will open up Ganymede & Titan to new markets and will make it possible to make a Japanese translation.

The above joke about the replacement Gordon will be re-edited so you can actually see the impact.

Will we see any previously unseen tests for the proposed Ganymede and Titan Movie?

Still got it on VHS on my Red Dwarf shelf.

All Dwarfcasts to be re-recorded with new voice actors to fit in more with the characters portrayed.

Due to my lack of technical knowledge, the version on the DVD was edited from really low-res captures of the footage, and isn’t even bloody graded.

Grading is really tricky business. In my experience when working with footage off cheap consumer cameras (or more recently, trying to grade early Red Dwarf for fun), the most important things to worry about are the contrast and the black levels. The bigger question is whether the camera was consistently set the same settings.

Auto exposure and white balance are great for home movies of your new baby, but can really screw you over when seriously filming something. Color adjustments add a lot but the most profound change, at least to me, comes with that initial contrast and black level adjustment that turns the footage from a murky grey into something actually alive.

The music played at the beginning of the Dwarfcast for Can of Worms has been changed to “Mrs Grace” by The Tymes.
