Pink Floyd The Wall 4k

Core Goal: To present The Wall not just as a film transfer, but as a fully restored, contextualized, and expandable sensory experience—while respecting the original artistic intent. 1. Visual & Audio Restoration (Foundation) | Feature | Description | |---------|-------------| | True 4K Scan | From the original 35mm film elements (not an upscale). Grain preserved but refined. | | HDR / Dolby Vision | Graded with Alan Parker’s surviving notes. Deep blacks for the animation, realistic skin tones for live action. | | Original 5.1 & Stereo | Remixed from original master tapes without excessive compression. | | Atmos / 3D Audio | Optional: Flags, helicopter, breaking glass placed in 3D space. Teacher’s voice from above. | | Restored Animation | Gerald Scarfe’s sequences cleaned frame-by-frame (marching hammers, flower, trial). | 2. Interactive & Educational Features | Feature | Utility | |---------|---------| | “Behind the Wall” Picture-in-Picture | During the film, a secondary track shows: storyboards, Parker’s video commentary, Scarfe’s hand-drawn cells, and 1980–82 tour footage. | | Lyrics & Symbolism Overlay | On-screen text explaining references (Post-war Britain, teacher’s abuse, Vera Lynn, the “Surrogate Band”). Toggle on/off. | | Track Separation Viewer | Mute/unmute individual instruments/vocals in real time (isolate the bassline in “Another Brick Pt. 2” or the children’s choir in “The Trial”). | | Scene vs. Album Comparison | Side-by-side: film scene → live performance (Earls Court 1980) → original album mix. | 3. Extras & Archival Deep Dive | Category | Content | |----------|---------| | Deleted / Alternate Scenes | “What Shall We Do Now?” (full animated sequence), alternate ending, unused live-action shots. | | Documentaries | Retrospective (2024 interviews with Roger Waters, Scarfe, Bob Geldof). The Making of the Animation (Scarfe’s studio). The Tour That Became a Film (1980–81 performances). | | Audio Commentary | 1) Alan Parker (archival), 2) Roger Waters & Gerald Scarfe, 3) Film historian (context, censorship, legacy). | | Gallery | 500+ hi-res photos: set design, makeup tests (Geldof as Pink), animation cels, concert props. | 4. Viewing Modes (Curated Experiences) | Mode | What it does | |------|---------------| | Original Theatrical Cut | As released in 1982 (no extra scenes, original audio mix). | | Extended Film Cut | Inserts “What Shall We Do Now?” and “The Last Few Bricks” where intended (transition from “Empty Spaces”). | | Concert + Film Hybrid | Synchronizes the film with the 1980 live album Is There Anybody Out There? – audience noise, extended solos, stage dialogue. | | Silent Wall (Instrumental Only) | Removes all dialogue and most vocals – pure score + effects for a surreal experience. | 5. Accessibility & Technical | Feature | Benefit | |---------|---------| | Subtitles | English SDH, plus 20+ languages. | | Audio Description | For visually impaired (narrates visual action and animation). | | Chapter Markers | Each song + key narrative beats (e.g., “Phone Call to Wife,” “Shaving Scene”). | | 4K Blu-ray + Digital | Disc with 100GB triple layer + downloadable 4K HDR file (DRM-free for personal backup). | | Limited Edition Box | Includes: replica lyric sheet, Scarfe print, “The Wall” hotel keycard, replica ticket stub from 1980 tour. | Sample Menu Interface (Mock) [Play Film] → Theatrical Cut → Extended Cut → Concert Hybrid Mode [Watch With…] → Audio Commentary → PIP: Behind the Wall → Lyrics & Symbols

[Extras] → Deleted Scenes → Documentaries → Gallery → Track Separator

[Settings] → Audio: Atmos / 5.1 / Original Stereo → Subtitles → Viewing Mode: HDR / SDR This feature set balances with modern interactive tools , making The Wall in 4K a definitive archive for fans and a discovery tool for new viewers.

  • Hello,

    We followed your guide to the letter on a 2016 and 2019 server but we keep running into the problem that the SCEP application pool keeps crashing for no real reason. We already ruled out a mistake in the templates or wrong CA certs in the intermediate.
    We can see the Cert requests arrive but IIS dies everytime we see this in the NDES log:

    NDES COnnector:
    Sending request to certificate registration point. NDESPlugin 18-4-2019 17:04:05 3036 (0x0BDC)

    Event viewer just shows us that w3wp.exe has crashed and that the faulty module is ntdll.dll.

    We’ve been banging our heads against this problem for a week now so we hope you have any idea where to look.

    Regards,
    Herman

  • Nick, your stuff is amazing as always! .NET 3.5 appears to be required, so may be worth mentioning somewhere since some installations will need to specify an alternate path for that.

    Using your script, I was failing on “Attempting to install Windows feature: Web-Asp-Net” and it wasn’t until I manually added 3.5–specifying the alternate path to the Server installation media–that I could continue.

  • Does this work for Android for Work or Android Enterprise devices? I can’t find the certificate issued to the end mobile devices even – iOS?

  • Hey Nickolay,

    there are two mistakes in your two pictures showing the configuration of the AAP. In the internal URL field you have to write https instead of http, because of the later binding / requiring of SSL. Your other older posts showing this also with https configured.

    Best regards and nice work!,
    Philipp

    • I’ve wasted way too much time troubleshooting this before I checked the IIS log files and they showed port 80. After changing AAD Proxy to HTTPS everything works.

      Great guide though!

  • It appears that the script is expecting to find only 1 client authentication certificate with the specified subject. Could you modify it to handle cases where there are multiple certificates with the same subject?

  • Hello – Is there a mistake with the steps regarding the client and server certificates? At first you emphasized the points of each type which in turn have different Extended Key Usages. Are you stating to use the same template that contains both types?

  • Awesome step by step guide, many thanks. As per usual the MS TechNet lacks a lot of steps and inside information. Regarding the two certs, can they also be 3rd party and trusted certs (wildcard) ?
