The opening of the film through Carlotta speaking to the owners is taken from the BFI bluray, as it digitally removes the troublesome hair that wiggles all around the gate.I desaturated the footage to black and white, as I was not satisfied with the tinting in any version. The bulk of the film is taken from the Kino Bluray (24fps version).
Here’s a look at some of what I did for this version of Phantom: The Phantom of the Opera - 1925 Version Reconstruction - Rare Scores Collection - Roy Budd Score 3 RepliesĪuthor ElectricTriangle Time 2:54 PM (Edited) Post link Star Trek: The Motion Picture - Director’s Edition HD Recreation
#THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA 1925 1080P#
Video: 1080p 60fps 21gb MKV - Black and White with technicolor sequence and tinted sequence – 01:45:44Īspect ratio: Around 1.33:1 for the 16mm material and cropped 1.2:1 for the 35mmĪudio: PCM stereo - Ben Model and Gaylord Carter score I have this sequence running at around 20fps, using a slowed down version of Gaylord Carter’s organ score taken from the Kino/Image bluray.Īs the various home media releases of Phantom have differing levels of quality, this edit uses the Kino, Image, and BFI blu-rays for the 1929 footage, with the 16mm footage coming from the HD transfer on the BFI bluray (including the title cards). This is a more natural level of motion, as the Technicolor camera had to be cranked very slow to get enough light, but it is not very period-accurate, looks bad and slows the pace of the scene.
Reelclassicdvd’s DVD used the BFI/Channel 4 version of the Technicolor bal masque sequence, which runs at a very slow speed (around 13 fps). The Technicolor sequence in the middle of the film uses Gaylord Carter’s organ score. When further edits were required to keep the sound and picture in sync, I made (hopefully unobtrusive) edits to the soundtrack. The final file is a 60fps 1080p MKV (not blu ray compatible) with the real framerate being variable. To sync this edit to a preexisting score, I adjusted the speed of the footage throughout the film, generally keeping it within 16-24 frames a second, with the majority of the footage presented at around 20fps. I have used Ben Model’s excellent organ score for the 1925 version. The scenes present in the 1929 version use 35mm footage, while all the material exclusive to the 1925 version comes from the 16mm print. This is an attempt to reconstruct the 1925 edit of the film using the higher quality 35mm material. An in depth exploration of the various versions exists here: Because of its higher quality, it has been the preferred version for restorations, even though it is much shorter than the 1925 version. In addition, the 35mm material comes from the b-negative camera, using different angles and takes from the primary camera. It is edited with different continuity than the 1925 version, cutting and rearranging scenes, as well as replacing footage with shots from the sound version. The higher quality surviving 35mm print is of a version prepared alongside the sound re-release of Phantom. The original 1925 version of the Phantom of the Opera only survives as a spliced together dupe of 16mm prints in fairly low quality.
