Hey everyone, this is a project I've been working on for a bit and I'm wondering if anybody would be interested in it (I know someone is, you know who you are!)
It's a best source merge of Tokorozawa 3/11/1982, but not just that. It is a colour re-grading (similar to Chief Mouse's re-grading of Montreal) of the concert.
The source I'm using is a VHS copy that I have fixed the brightness/contrast levels and then fixed the colour levels to hopefully a more natural skin tone colours as for some reason, the footage is very green...
The raw VHS can be downloaded here, if you so desire: http://rutracker.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=931565
The audio sources I've used is a mixture of the following...
• 'Live In Japan' 1992 VHS
• 'On Fire At The Bowl' 2002 DVD Extras (Disc 2)
• 'Space Boogie' 2005 Audience Recording
• 'News Of The World' & 'Hot Space' 2011 Remasters - Bonus EPs
To give you an idea of the colour re-grading, here are some examples:
Let me know what you think! :)

Here's a YouTube upload sampling some moments of the concert.

Interesting
A lot of the source footage does have a slight green tint to it, and the hues are a bit off (Freddie's belt for example is a little more magenta than red). I respectfully feel the changes in the edited shots you've supplied seem to be a tad heavy-handed. Definitely in the right direction, but perhaps just dial it back a smidge. I love your work and dedication to making the most of the pieces of all these different Queen concerts, and this one surely looks to be a treat as well!
Yes! I'm very interested! :)
Looks great! Can't wait to see full un-cut version!

Thanks for the input, yeah as you mention it now I do notice the colour is a bit overdone in some areas so I'll fix that :)
I've had a look and I have multiple copies on VHS and they all have the same colour issue...

Looking great! But agree with Sue... some of the blacks look just a tad deep...
But awesome! Can't wait for finished result!

Definitely interested, thanks!
Good job Chin!
When will be a full gig to download?

Sorry for the delay, but I've been having some real aneurysm inducing problems when the video finally exports. Some segments (mostly colour re-graded sequences) when the video cuts in, stays black for a few seconds missing out footage.
I have also just to note, changed from the Laserdisc copy to a decent VHS copy. The Laserdisc version was quite visually noisy and had blended fields. You can download the raw VHS if you'd like from here: http://rutracker.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=931565
I think I have that problem solved now, also look at that rendering time... :)

MoviePlus? Maybe you'd get better render times with proper software.

Don't worry, it didn't take that long haha. Computers and estimated times never usually go together well. :P
