That looks more like a building structure to me. What makes you say it is a humanoid shape?

That's not out of focus, it's motion blur. I have an old program which attempts to correct motion blur (e.g. for forensic usage). Unfortunately, the distance of the motion is more than the program can be set to, but I have applied it twice in succession to the smaller image. I think the motion was uneven, which also stymies the program, so the results may be heavily artefacted -but you might be interested in the results nevertheless: See next post instead

Strike that; I resized the image smaller still so the correction could reach the required amount in one hit, which produced a much more convincing result, which certainly to my eye hints at an Adam, or maybe two (see also two figures in upper part of screen?):

Single correction  SPOILER: Show

(Check the white spot at top right to judge the effectiveness of the algorithm).
I also tried reducing focus blur in addition, but that was less convincing:

I've been trying the same thing with just the screen crops posted before -- I get the edge of the monitor bezel whatever that framing red line is at the bottom quite crisply defined (modulo motion length ghosting), but the picture is, well, ...

The program/plugin I used (Focus Magic) does deconvolution using a kernel based on the angle and distance of movement. How did you go about it?

On Twitter I read they are using 3D Studio Max in the censored picture, and in pwhodges CSI-like enhancement I definitely see a pink blob, so it could very well be Unit 08-ICC again.

I used the open-source version of SmartDeblur -- the same one we've tried cleaning up Reiquarium images with before. It's another deconvolution tool along the same lines -- it just has to be, given the mathematics involved.

After a little more tweaking, I got rid of more of the obvious motion blur on the interesting area, though w/o recompiling the program I'm stuck with the granularity of the controls that are offered

I am amused that it is the two oldest members of the forum doing this.

Evangelion is all about reversing expectations, even in the fandom.

Age -- or at least duration of membership -- is merely an excuse for being able to say "I remember us doing this sort of thing before"

Threads like that are very good reason to strongly feel about internet preservation, most of the images are gone.

More blurry photos, a new teaser coming in the next weeks? I would bet on January 1st, Maybe with an Ogata voice over.


That would make sense, what with the meeting at Khara before

If so, then similar to the teaser for Daredevil Season 3, where we see Shinji at his lowest point and talking about his biggest regrets and facing "THE END".

This would make me lose my mind about FINAL again, as with the previous teaser.
I carry out things right to the end. No. Matter. What.
