Latest on MJJC

Dangerous Short Films are currently being upscaled to 4K on YouTube!

A bit off topic but I'd definitely like to see more of MJ directing the show, talking about it etc. We got a bit of that in the special features but not much.

We already got the "what the show was supposed to be" thing with the movie, I don't think we need any more of that.

Ok, now I'm sure, the jumbotron scenes were also filmed in 4K? So a 4K re-release is possible.

Even though 4K cameras were used the final movie was finished in 2K according to IMDB. So they would have to some editing again if they were to release it in native 4K. I don't know if they have some rough edit in 4K.
 
It doesn't have to be 4K imo, that's all I am reading here. The quality has to improve in some way, that's what is important. I don't care if it's FullHD, 4K, 8K or whatever.

The "upscales" just look like taking a jpeg that's out of focus, using a sharpening tool and denoise... doesn't work that way, they should know that. Well, I am sure they know but they think "it's good enough".

It is heartbreaking to think about how much work Michael and all the teams involved in the short films put in there to create something outstanding and how it is treated now. Ugh.
 
All short films post Bad have their masters on tape, therefore you first have to locate and scan every camera negative, remove scratches and dust, edit and mix the whole thing back together and on top recreate VFX or manually cut shots out of an upscaled version from the tape master and edit them into the film scan
 
things are about to roll off next year with the biopic, album and so on so let's wait and see, HIStory and Blood On The Dance Floor get a reissue by MoFi next year so that's gonna be great
 
you should watch this (if you understand French)
 
I'll go out and say it - AI remasters look awful, 100% of the time. I've never seen a good one. Including fan made "remasters". There was a wave of kids remastering every video in 2010-2012, it feels very much like that

Agreed. Even ones that I have seen people say look good always look bad to me. They always look off or lq in some way.

Maybe if you're watching on a phone screen they might look decent. Anything bigger and it falls apart pretty quickly in my opinion.
