I do not know why, but it does not look as epic as the original) More like a low-budget clip of Brian shot on a DSLR??

Was it meant to be 16:9?
Because all the other "remasters" are 4:3

Looks amazing! Also, love Roger's 'Manipulator' jacket. Anyone know where I can get one?  |

Looks amazing! One of my favourite videos because of its ‘live performance’ scenario, where you can almost imagine, if you squint, that it’s them performing it live, which of course we never got after ’86.
In light of the other DoRo Miracle videos being video upscales, are Queen Productions similarly without access to the Headlong and Slightly Mad original film reels? If so it’s a real shame as they’d look great cleaned up.
I wonder if you could call it a business oversight that Queen Productions allowed DoRo to keep the original reels without taking a 35mm copy for themselves. There’s value in particular in the One Vision recording sessions: you could maybe produce a (new) short documentary from them.

All The Miracle videos were shot on 35 mm film, The Invisible Man "Silhouettes" were filmed on TV. These TV reels they showed in LMIYHA. I hope they'll find the rest someday

Done some quick work with the new remaster, I'm sure someone could do better when the Blu-Ray comes out!

Oh, ok I knew that, but did they film the music video in 16:9 or was the remastered version cropped? Yes, this was one of the few music videos originally in 'Widescreen'. So it always had black bars on the top and bottom of the screen when it was on tv. However, the video most likely has been shot on full frame 35mm which has an aspect ratio of 3:4 so they could have extended the video to include what was behind the black bars originally. (hope this makes sense) |
