Terror of Mechagodzilla UPA Cut HD G-MAN Reconstruction "Now Available"
Posted: Mon Feb 17, 2020 4:59 am
So after going back and forth with myself on what my next reconstruction would be I finally decided on what I wanted to make. Which of course you guys would know from the name of this thread.
Jumping the gun a little bit as i haven't started working on this reconstruction yet. But I've got everything ripped aside from the films needed from the Criterion set blurays. Which won't take too long. But I plan on starting in full this weekend. Hoping it won't take too long as it's not as intensive of an edit as some of my previous reconstructions. As the main bulk of what needs to be done is the UPA intro. Everything else is minor compared to that for me in terms of editing.
I will be of course using the Classic Media disc as a template of how to reconstruct it. I'll also most likely be using the English title of the film from that release And give it my usual treatment unless there is a better source. Or if I'm able to recreate it using the Criterion source. And of course I will be using the audio from that opening for that sequence as well. The video sources will of course be taken from the Criterion releases of Invasion of Astro Monster, All Monsters Attack, and of course Terror of Mechagodzilla.
I don't have any sort of exact date in mind for this release especially given my work schedule. But I will try to have it out sometime before the middle of March. Though that's just at the latest. Hope everyone will enjoy it once it's finished. And will continue to provide more updates when I start progressing on it. Feel free to leave any comments or suggestions/ideas in.the meantime.
*UPDATE*
The film has been completed and is now uploaded any ready to shared.
Sources used are as follows.
Video
The main source was of course the Criterion release of Terror of Mechagodzilla. As well as their release of All Monsters Attack and Invasion of Astro Monster. With the one Standard Definition element being the brief English Titles shot from the Classic Media release. Mainly due to the compression not being as bad as other sources I've seen for it.
For this first release I tried to be as accurate as possible to the presentation on the Classic Media release of the film. And by that for the English credits I adjusted the colors a bit to reflect how the still frame credit shots looked. And while the font used main not be exactly the same I tried to use one that matched fairly well.
I also added the English The End back into the film.
Audio
Was again mainly taken from the Criterion release of Terror of Mechagodzilla with the prologue being sourced from the Classic Media DVD.
It was really fun tackling this reconstruction. And I hope everyone interested in it enjoys how it turned out. Feel free to comment or pm for the link and I look forward to hearing what everyone thought of it.
