Carrying this across from The Prequel Radical Redux Ideas Thread, I want to recolour Jango (Boba in this edit) to have ESB colours, however I'm aware that recolouring all his armour will be a LOT of work (not to mention a nightmare changing the metallic finish to a matt one as well as making it green) so I might have to compromise and just change the visor.

I've previously toyed with changing the colours of Kamino when I considered the fact that Boba and Kamino seem to have been coloured to match eachother. I was inspired by a painting posted by Bingowings to see what it would looks like if Kamino matched a red visored Boba in the same way it does a blue.

The painting:

An altered screenshot:

I have very little skills with photoshop. This was just a simple hue/saturation edit. The sky happening to match the painting's quite well was a happy mistake. I just moved the hue slider all the way to red to change the visor colour and the rest followed suit.

Opinions? I quite like it, but that might just be because it's different to what we're all familiar with.

Just did this rough video. I probably won't have Fett on Geonosis after he gives Obi Wan the slip, but here's a clip anyway of how it could be that he survives the prequel era.

I suspect your mockup was a simple hue shift?

Which is fine on Fett and the sky (if you want it orange) but it will mean more work when you come to include Obi-Wan (unless you like him with a green face and an orange lightsaber).

Oh yeah, it wasn't designed to be a solution to it in motion. Just that specific still image so people could see what it would look like (both with a red visored fett and a more orange Kamino like in the painting)

"Count Dooku was once a Jedi. He couldn't assassinate anyone. It's not in his character."

Excellent example of that!

Good job :D

Yeah, Dooku was interesting when he seemed to stand for something, but when he started twirling sabers and showboating I lost interest fast. Good work!

Portman is just plain terrible in that scene... or is that just me?

Portman is just plain terrible in all her scenes ;)

^She sounds like a little girl sometimes. Not her fault; just sayin'.

To be plain terrible is to be human :)

Crap. i love Natalie! pity that SW didnt give a chance.

Terrible acting is common in the prequels. It is a shocker when the acting is good. I doubt the cast from the OT could make these movies much better. They are just really badly written.

So, am I understanding you correctly... Is Jango now Boba Fett in your edit and he survives the movie?

Yeah. The kid is being cut, we never see him without his helmet, never have him mentioned by name, and I'm hopefully doing a recolour of his armour.

I probably won't have him on Geonosis despite my video of him escaping the arena. It just makes too little sense to have it so obvious that the 2 warring sides are connected.

I don't think Liam was very good in TPM (not his fault really nobody seemed to be having a rewarding working experience exept Ian who really shone in his few scenes) compared to some of the other actors he might look good but in isolation he seemed bored and tired.

how are you planning to do this? i tried (in vain) to recolour him in photoshop purely using filters, but produced horrific results. i always thought a semi boba would work, ie red visor and maybe tinting his blue fabric somehow.

have you tried the change color effect in AE? im thinking you already tried this, if that dont work maybe you can use the color key effect perhaps?

ben_danger. I've yet to try a recolour of him at this stage. I'm going to need to learn the technique from scratch. I know NOTHING about photoshop, but I do know someone who's somewhat of an expert. And I've heard that the recolouring options in AE are similar to PS.

I was a big fan of your mockup when you did it, but it shows how time consuming it would be to change the metallic green (and yellow) finishes into a matt one for continuity purposes. Recolouring in motion is going to be time consuming enough as it is, which is why I may compromise and just do a partial recolour so that he has a red visor and a light grey jumpsuit, but all the armour remain silver.

fishmanlee. No I've yet to even try after effects at all, let alone to recolour Jango. I've read about the change colour option however.

I just don't see any reason to have another Fett in the prequels. It's entirely unnecessary, and if your idea means keeping the kid, then no way. Lol.

He can't act. He's irritating. Not to mention he ruins the mystery of the man behind the mask.

If your idea means inserting another actor, then I don't know. It's certainly beyond my expertise and resources.
