Nice job on both videos! I especially do like the new color of the make-up, makes it more like ROTJ and better-looking in general.

Thanks! Yeah, the idea was to match up the look with RotJ. When you look at Palpy in Episode III, he looks RADICALLY different, but it's really mainly the color of the skin and the eyes, which, once corrected, look much better.

It looks great!

Is it just for example purposes, or are you using the Yoda v. Emperor duel?

I have incredibly huge plans for Yoda vs. Sidious, but it's going to be a massive undertaking. If it doesn't work, I might just cut the fight altogether.

Any spoilers? :)

I would also suggest, for story reasons, that you try to address some of the things in the Episode III Red Letter Media review. If it's possible, make the actions of the characters make more sense.

The new Palpatine makeup looks good.  His face just needs to be thinner like it is in Jedi.  Part of the problem with his look in Sith beyond the color is how puffy his face is.

Yeah, I have to agree he's a tad too puffy, haha. I thinned out his neck, but I'm not sure I can do the whole face without compromising the shot.

Looks great! Even without rotoscoping Palpy, only that one angle looks awkward. I'll have to do this. Thanks for the idea!

Worked till 2:00 am last night/this morning getting the colours on Polis Massa to look remotely realistic.

Top image is the original. 

Bottom image is with my changes.

I love the new colors but, the same as all of PT, it still looks too CGI and cartoonish.

What is your suggestion about on this matter?

Filming new props change it will mattes?

Thanks!
But there's not much I can do about the cartoonish look of the CGI. I'm doing my best to cut back on CG

Well I don't have any thought out suggestions. But aside from doing a lot re-filming,  no amount of cutting will make it OK. Still, limiting the worst of CGI will definitely make things a lot better.

I know it sounds silly. But introduce some grain into the shot, and for some reason the whole thing comes off a bit more realistic. Something I'm doing for Redemption.

I'll definitely try this. Thanks for the suggestion!

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 think, generally, people make their own costumes if they want any amount of accuracy.

RE: (RotS: Aa) Aalenfae's REVENGE OF THE SITH (NOW WITH VIDEOS!)

Haha, I just don't have any sewing skills! Though, come to think of it, I might be able to commission a costume from a local tailor or something. Then I just need to make accessories. 

 

But that still leaves Clone Troopers.

I think it cuts it too much. What did you have in mind?

aalenfae's avatar
RE: (RotS: Aa) Aalenfae's REVENGE OF THE SITH (NOW WITH VIDEOS!)

I'm not planning on cutting too much. What I'm actually doing is adding footage. I want to make the fight have slow, dramatic bits, and not a constant, non-stop frenzy like it is in the movie.

Perhaps you should look into contacting your nearest 501st Garrison

Vladius' avatar
RE: (RotS: Aa) Aalenfae's REVENGE OF THE SITH (NOW WITH VIDEOS!)

That sounds cool. What I meant was that it's too epic, there's billions of CGI objects, lava everywhere, so many blue and orange things to look at, and it's a little bit of a distraction from the characters. I'm sure you'll do a good job though.

I really want you to succeed.
