Learn how you can master post-production techniques by reworking older movies in this detailed, shot-by-shot video tutorial.<\/h1>\n

If you’re a fan of the original Star Wars<\/em> films, you probably aren’t a fan of the\u00a0later releases of episodes 4, 5 and 6 \u2014 the ones that included additional CGI effects.<\/p>\n

If so, you might want to throw your support behind people like Petr “Harmy” Harmacek<\/a>, a visual effects artist who is restoring his own version of the original trilogy from scratch (for the third time!).<\/p>\n

After getting noticed for his work online, Harmy recently landed a job at Prague-based VFX house UPP<\/a>\u00a0and has worked on films like Blade Runner 2049<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>and Wonder Woman<\/em><\/a>. (So internet dreams can<\/em> come true!)<\/p>\n

\"Post-Production<\/p>\n

In this post, I wanted to break down a few of the techniques that Harmy uses in the following tutorial to restore a single shot from his Despecialised v3.0<\/a>.\u00a0He’s working on version three of each film because his skill-set has improved dramatically over the last eight years,\u00a0when he began the project with no post-production experience.<\/p>\n
