A Mesc original - Making The Impossible Possible Support future work: https://ko-fi.com/mescwalrus Important File Notes: I used 4148p instead of full 4320p to not distort the original artwork for a few extra pixels. Direct HDMI connection from GPU to TV/Screen and MPC-BE is recommended. Default audio is track 3 - 5.1 English All stills were taken from an 8K HDR screen. Before (left) and after (right) stills are not full frame. Enjoy.
