''Red Dwarf Remastered'' was an attempt in the mid-1990s to bring the first three series of the BBC's cult sci-fi sitcom ''Red Dwarf'' up to date.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title =Remasters of the Universe )〕 A collaborative effort between BBC Worldwide and Grant Naylor Productions, it was hoped that remastered versions of the episodes would prove more appealing to broadcasters in international territories.〔 Only Series I-III were remastered, although the BBC had commissioned for the remastering of Series IV and V as well. Doug Naylor decided to put the project on hold and wait for technology to catch up with their vision. == Changes == Some of the changes made for ''Red Dwarf Remastered'' included: *Replacement title sequences for Series I, II and III. These retained the initial image of Lister painting the outside of ''Red Dwarf'', but featured a new attempt to realise the original intention to pull-out from a close-up of Lister to the entire ship in one uninterrupted shot. This was followed by a new fast-paced opening montage similar to those created for Series III-VIII. *All-new computer-generated special effects of ''Red Dwarf'' flying through space. Whilst the original series simply featured ''Red Dwarf'' flying through unadorned starscapes, the Remastered version added backgrounds such as burning suns, icy moons and coloured nebulae. A model dust storm was recreated in CG, and in addition to the typically sedate movement ''Red Dwarf'' was shown, in appropriate scenes, racing through space. *Additional post-production visual effects. Including a malfunction effect being laid onto the hologram Rimmer in ''Queeg'', Holly on the monitors, transitions and (in close-up) borders being altered or added. Most significantly the starscape outside the windows of the ship interiors was edited, where possible, to match the new special effects. Due to technical restrictions this was possible only when the camera was static. *Most other model shots of crafts in space being likewise replaced with computer-generated special effects. For the craft ''Blue Midget'', as with ''Red Dwarf'' itself, these modifications amounted to a complete redesign, and matched those that would appear in Series VIII. The new Red Dwarf was created as a 12' model, but due to space restrictions in the studio they were unable to use it. Minor changes to ''Starbug'' also reflected the ship's Series VII incarnation, with a smaller viewscreen and legs that would tilt backwards. *Further computer-generated additions and replacements. Including an extended sequence of the polymorph travelling through the ''Red Dwarf'' air ventilation system, a 'time hole' journey to backwards Earth, and various shots of elevators in lift-shafts. Other minor CGI alterations include those laid over existing live-action scenes, such as a grey opening and closing 'hatch' being laid over what was, in the original scene, a flip-top bin. *Additional bluescreen elements being applied to particular scenes, especially during the first episode ''The End''. These included skutters placed in the foreground of an early scene, and more attendees being added to the foreground of the McIntyre funeral scene. *Replacement music and audio effects being applied to all scenes: the show in general was given a more detailed soundscape, a new stereo mix with fully remastered foreground and background effects. The audience laughter track was similarly remixed and adjusted. Changes were specific as well as general: Rimmer's mother was re-voiced by a different actress in ''Polymorph,'' for example; Rimmer was heard to crash into objects after falling through the Cat in "The End" (despite his holographic status); and in the same episode the Cat was supplemented with a hissing noise as he made himself "look big". *All videotape work being given a full colour grade, and filmised. *Cropping of the top and bottom of the original picture to leave a 14:9 "widescreen" picture. (Some versions only.) *Occasional close-up scenes with Holly in Series I being re-filmed with actor Norman Lovett. New jokes with the character were also added to several episodes. Hattie Hayridge's performance in Series III remained the same as the original, however. *Trimming of some scenes, such as the shortening of George McIntyre's speech in "The End", the removal of Cat's fantasy mermaid girlfriend and the "Black card/white card" discussions in the episode "Balance of Power". Performed partially for pace reasons, and sometimes due to dissatisfaction with the writing or performance quality.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Red Dwarf Remastered」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
