WEST END
I am always willing to upgrade to VOBs
1985 | Sydmonton Workshop
Colm Wilkinson, Sarah Brightman, Clive Carter
Type: MP4
Quality: C-
Notes: ONLY because it's aged. The quality of video is not very good, however the audio is fairlyl clear and you can hear the old lyrics.
West End | 1987
Michael Crawford, Rebecca Caine, Steve Barton
Type: VOB+smalls
Quality: C
Notes: Highlights. 'All I Ask of You' is audio only with still pictures; video ends at 'Notes II'. Extremely difficult to make out anything other than the figures of people; black-and-white image and very heavy generation loss.

Type: AVI
Quality: A-
Notes: Two avi clips from a never-released video, originally on YouTube. Clips include "The Mirror", "The Phantom of the Opera", "Point of No Return", and "Final Lair". Picture quality is not the greatest which is a bummer but still a great video! In "Point of No Return", Celia had some trouble trying to get the hood off of Earl.

**strangeangel78's master**
Type: MTS
Notes: Notes: Act one starts at 'Lot 666' and act two misses only the Entr'acte. So, basically full video/99% complete. Audio fed from external source. Great audio/video quality, rivals videos shot years later (grainier than the best, though). Although this was shot in (16:9) standard definition, there is lots of detail due to close zooming, a bright lens and encoding to MP4. You can discern the string keeping the mask in place. Black bar in lower part of the picture, and an evil head of doom on centre/stage right. This means small bits were just impossible to capture, but I tried to shoot around it. Some shakiness results at times. Mix of mediums and close ups. Downgraded because of the obstruction, though probably conservatively graded.

Type: MKV
​Quality: Proshot
Notes: Different angles than the Phantom of the Opera RAH DVD. There is also a LARGE coloring difference as you can see between the two photos. It's much cleaner and the pronunciation of some words are not as awkward as the DVD version. I much prefer the live stream to the DVD. (Personal Favorite)

Type: MTS
Notes: MTS file, shot around heads and master tries best to work around them but is unable too. Auction and overtune is blocked alongside most of the whole recording. Theres a few bits here and there where the action is visible such as during think of me, music of the night. Sound is very clear. Anything on the left side of the stage such during 'prima dona' is mostly visible-ish.

**Lasagna's Master**
Type: MP4
Notes: Highlights from Earl's final show as the Phantom! Shot from the most obstructed seat I've ever sat in, meaning most of the stage (particular the centre) is not visible but I did my best to shoot around it and there's a few nice moments. I stopped recording for the boring office scenes
