Message from CWE East:
First of all I would like
to address a rumor that has apparently been circulating throughout
the "Temple of Nog Fan Club". As you all know the 1993 CWE
production, "Incident At East Lake" has been going through
a process of total restoration and digital re-mastering for
the last year. As such, our team has experienced many hurdles
along the way. One such hurdle (and the biggest I might add)
is the now famous "Temple of Nog" scene. In our frustration
with working on the restoration of this particular scene some
feelings might have been expressed that did not reflect a
positive attitude toward said scene. I assure all the fans
of Nog that a quote that was recently released in an article
in the "Temple of Nog" newsletter was not only unauthorized
but also unsubstantiated. To my knowledge I or anyone else
on the restoration team have never released any statement
to the press.
Let me finish by saying that
the restoration and re-mastering project has been a daunting
task. Though there have been many considerations concerning
the re-editing of the the entire movie (not just the Temple
of Nog scene), we here at CWE East are committed to restoring
this masterpiece to its original form and as the directors
intended. Will that mean that some scenes will be cut? Perhaps.
But we are confident that in the end everyone will agree that
we did what was needed to be done.
Update:
- Finished restoration on
the Janice Thompson Coroner scene. Here are some before
and after results:
- Finished restoration on
Huntz's Lab. Color correction as above and extensive frame
replacement.
- Finished restoration on
the "Body on the Beach" scene. Used Gamma correction and
did the best we could with the overexposure problem.
November 2008
Digital re-mastering has begun with the entire
Temple of Nog segment coming along for the ride. Along with
the re-mastering, there is now new and previously unseen footage
of the original and more.
