This just came up in my YouTube recommendations, and looks really interesting!
Coming on 2nd December 2024, another exciting Doctor Who reimagining. Wild Noir Yonder takes the 60th Anniversary Special “Wild Blue Yonder” and gives it the classic Black and White 4:3 Horror Treatment! With new cuts and edits, and reimagined entirely - A tribute to a new fan favourite episode that aired almost 1 year ago…
So - first, we bring the '60s black and white serial to life in colour, and then we reverse the process by re-editing modern Who episodes so that they are black and white and old school.
Looks cool! I’m probably going to check out at some point!
Honestly, this works far more than it should.
(Those empty shot of space are stunning in black and white).
That looks so good! Wow.
I should watch Wild Blue Yonder on my e-reader sometime…
Oooh - intriguing! Will definitely give that a try.
Reverse the polarity of the colour flow.
This does look rather lovely. I adore this story and am certainly interested in this edit.
Looks kinda copyrighted?
That’s fair, yeah
Will then just post the intro sequence that he put on YouTube and let people know that it’s out now
The intro sequence sounds reasonable. Just don’t really want anyone cracking down on the forums for having full episodes downloadable…
Ye ye ofc, makes complete sense
Incidentally, I feel like they could’ve done some compression on it. I can get that 4.5GB down to 1.4GB without even changing it from 1440x1080…
yeahhh, I’m definitely with you on that
Watching through it, I think it makes everything that’s CG look a bit worse, and everything practical 10 times better
The robot especially looks incredible in black and white
It’s not even like I’m doing anything particularly magical.
I run:
ffmpeg -i movie.mp4 -map 0 -scodec copy movie.mkv
on pretty much everything…
Is that just command line or do you need a program to run in in there?
Definitely bookmarking this though
It requires having ffmpeg installed, but yeah, just command line.
In fact,
ffmpeg -i movie.mp4 movie.mkv
is usually good enough, the rest is just to prevent subtitles from being stripped out. It’s just telling it to take the input video file, and reencode it with sane defaults and save it as the output. It’s just that sane defaults tend to be a lot better then what things were saved at initially, and mkv is a pretty good format.
Cheers, will have look at downloading!
I was looking for Andrew, but all I found here was gibberish! Time to leave!
