I am now working on the Obi-Wan vs. Anakin duel. 

Does anybody know where to get (relatively) cheap, but accurate Obi-Wan and Anakin costumes? I'd really rather not pay tons of money, and the current footage won't cut it for an epic duel. 

 

On a similar note, I need affordable Clone Trooper costumes, and most importantly a Commander Cody. 

I don't know about getting clone trooper costumes but this ebay site has some really good costumes that are pretty cheap.

Thanks for the links! That's really helpful. 


On another note, pretty soon I'm going to be posting a temp video of the first segment of Anakin vs. Obi-Wan. 

Here is the video.

Please keep in mind that the audio track is only temporary until I can build a final mix.  

i love the colour changes, it looks much better now! as far as music is concerned though, would you consider using something completely different?

Thanks! 
I am definitely considering using something completely different. Not so sure at the beginning of the fight, but nearer to the end, I have some big ideas for music.  

If only you, Cutter and Bobgarcia and maybe Adywan would join together, you would create ultimate ROTS, much better than the official version.

Sadly, it will never happen...

Yeah, it will never happen. Bob, The Cutter, and I are all working independently with different goals and different visions. It by nature wouldn't work. 

How's this for an Original Trilogy feel?

That looks nice.  Anything to give it a closer feel to the OT makes me happy. Good work, as always.

Well, it's time for another video!

And another picture! The top image is my edit.

I was going for a more OT-style with the hangar bay, as we never ever in any other Star Wars movie see these bright blue force-fields on hangar bays.

I like it.  Keep up the good work.  I actually watched the video shortly before you even posted it.  I do like these effects you are altering, and really look forward to more.

Here's another video! Forgot to export audio, sorry! But nothing's different about that... yet :)

Keep in mind that these effects are only temporary until I can do them better.


Thoughts?

i like it as an idea, if anything it has great potential.

what program do you do that in?

I downloaded the model from Scifi3d.com, rendered and animated it in Anim8or (wimpy 3D program), and composited the shot in After Effects.

Looks good (in temp form).

Thanks. 
I have another idea for this shot that might work better, so stay tuned for another video in the near future! 

i like the idea of imposing helmets, like adding jango fetts helmet to scenes where he is un-helmeted for instance, or adding masks to certain individuals if it is appropriate to an edit.

how long did it take? would it be realistic to redo vader's helmet in ANH for example? (aside from rotoscoping to remove the original)
