Hi everyone.

I’m currently re-working some of the special effects using the bluray as a source.

I’m sure you’ll agree that some of the compositing is a bit rough these days so without changing the essence of the original, I’, simply giving them a little make-over.

Welcome aboard, and some nice restoration work in that video there, Dan.

If you haven’t already done so, I invite you to pop on over and sign up to the [U.K. Ghostbusters forum](http://www.theukghostbusters.co.uk/forum/index.php). 🙂

Welcome! You’re doing good work. I wish we could get an official release like this. NO wild changes or additions, but digital cleanup, removing matte lines, fixing revealing mistakes, etc.

Thank you. It’s my pleasure and the best thing is that we now have the power, the software, the speed, the resolution, the tools and the talent to do this sort of thing.. I’m loving it 🙂
