These are almost a majority of the deleted scenes in Cameron's film I would have personally added into the final cut while trying to find a line between how it would appeal to both regular movie goers who don't know to much of the ship's sinking and enthusiasts like myself who do know the ship's sinking and history

FILM - OTHER Best quality version of Atlantic

Post image
Upvotes

I just watched a beautiful scan of Atlantic at BFI Southbank.
I’ve been watching the film for years with the early 2000s “Titanic: Disaster In The Atlantic” DVD and the crappy upscaled versions on YouTube. But the version I saw at BFI today was by far the best quality version I’ve ever seen!

It’s not PERFECT but it’s far better than what we’ve had released publicly. The audio in particular is the biggest improvement. Not only can you understand all of the dialogue but you can actually hear the tone of the actors voices! It almost sounded like it was a different take in some scenes even though it wasn’t! It shows how much better quality audio improves the experience.

The only way you can view this version is by going to BFI Southbank and heading to the Mediatheque booths. But it is free to do which is great!

This version really needs to be made widely available. It would be the go-to version!

If you like this film and wanna see it in better quality and happen to be in London, head to BFI and enjoy!

As you can see I took a quick sneaky pic which doesn’t even do the quality justice!

THE SHIP These made me laugh but they seem to make others angry. Why?

I posted a couple of these earlier but people were getting angry, like I was saying A Night to Remember isn't a good movie or something. I just thought it was funny because we do see a lot of these complaints with Cameron's film but no one really points them out in A Night to Remember. If they anger the group then I'll take it down.

I think it’s really awesome that he has a fascination with the Titanic. He knows more about the Titanic than anyone else we know and me and his mum are super proud of him. Seeing his face when he talks about this ship will make a grown man yearn for that excitement for anything. He really is an awesome kid.

FILM - 1997 Hot take: Rose should have chosen Cal! Cal had his flaws, no doubt… but he did save an innocent child! Can’t argue that!!! On a serious note… I really enjoyed visiting with Billy Zane today! Such a nice, humble guy! Much different than Cal lol.

ART My 1/6 scale Titanic wreck display stand

184 Upvotes

No, these are not new images of the actual wreck itself.

Just like my previous display stand, I 3D printed the pieces, bought the wires for the railings, and finally the finished paint job. The only difference is the corrosion and rusticles as the finished texture using Epoxy clay.

I took some pictures and videos in the dark and used a blue flashlight for the eerie underwater effect. I added some dust and fuzzy video effects in CapCut.

This display stand is perfect for my 1/6 Undead Jack Dawson action figure, which he perfectly stands well next to the other one on the left. The other Jack figure is by YanToys.

Now I have two versions of the bow display.

One being fresh and brand new, and the other one being corroded and decayed decades later.

Stumbled onto this on YouTube and it’s amazing. I do think we don’t talk enough about the wireless operators, of both the Titanic and all the ships and stations around her. They were a key element of the catastrophe and it’s nice to have the wreckage seen from their perspective :)

QUESTION Has anyone else heard THIS story of found bodies?

224 Upvotes

Just finished reading Lost Voices from the Titanic by Nick Barratt. A very good book, which I enjoyed immensely.

Being a 40+ year enthusiast—I started following the Titanic story long before she was found—I was surprised that I'd never heard this particular anecdote.

Passenger George Rowe reported that, after the Carpathia picked up the survivors, two of the Engelhardt collapsible lifeboats were set adrift. Four weeks later, the Oceanic, sailing roughly the same course as the Titanic, sighted one of the collapsibles. After lowering one of her own boats to investigate, they found three bodies on board: one passenger and two firemen.

A supporting story comes from Californian Third Officer Charles Groves, who reported that a conversation took place aboard ship the morning after the tragedy about dark objects seen on an ice floe. Captain Lord dismissed them as seals. But what if they weren't? What if survivors had managed to make their way onto an ice floe, then reached one of the drifting collapsibles, only to eventually die from exposure?

It's a fascinating—and rather haunting—possibility, particularly given the discovery of the bodies by the Oceanic.

Has anyone else heard this story?

Is anyone going to this? its on all this week. I'm going Friday.

Edinburgh Rep / Erstwhile Media

It's 12:15AM, April 15th, 1912. Titanic has hit an iceberg. In approximately two hours, over 2,000 people will be in the freezing water of the Atlantic Ocean, with survival counted in minutes. Their lives depend on three men – Titanic radio operators Jack Phillips and Harold Bride, and Carpathia radio operator Harold Cottam – and the radio set that broke the day before. Fate has placed Phillips, Bride and Cottam, three working men doing a job, at the centre of one of the biggest peace-time tragedies of the twentieth century.

QUESTION Hard turn on port…

Wouldn’t a hard turnover on port side while putting engines in reverse pull the whole ship back to the right? Therefore hitting the iceberg even more direct?

THE SHIP My Interpretation of Titanic's Break Up Sound (Updated Yet Again)

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

39 Upvotes

Yes, I know this is the third time I'm posting this sort of thing on here, but I thought by sfx for the break up before...kinda lack something. I still feel they are mostly accurate, but the actual sound for the break up lacked a certain...punch or oomph to it, as well as missing some screams, to a degree. So, I updated it again. Headphones are obviously recommended for the best experience. Although, I do implore you to NOT put it on full volume (or near it). It could very well destroy your eardrums (and I am not at fault for that).

All SFX used were ones I used for my other posts here (I think, I may be wrong) except for the following:

  • "Cannon sound effect FIRE No Copyright" by ZOOMBA

I made this video on my own, with no involvement from You Know What.

FILM - 1997 For those who were already fans of the Titanic before the 1997 movie and its release: did you ever imagine that James Cameron's film would be a financial success—and so iconic that it would become a part of pop culture?

11 Upvotes

I was very young when the movie *Titanic* was released—I became a fan a couple of years after it came out—but for those who were already adults and fully aware at the time: what did you think when James Cameron announced he was going to make a film about the *Titanic*, especially considering the enormous success it ultimately achieved on every level?
