This is already great as it is, but I'd love to see it overlayed on this,

with voices and effects intact. The black and white really adds to it :)

Tried that, and the sync wasn't nearly as good IMHO. I don't think it was the right length, etc. Given that that's from an early cut of the film and Williams would have been given the final cut, such a sync probably never even happened.

I'm working on it as we speak, I shall have some fun editing this. :)

I'll obviously cut and snip here and there to make it fit...

Fair enough. That's against the idea of trying to reconstruct the original temp track, but I understand.

Yes, my idea is just to have some fun editing the piece with the footage. :)

Two more attempts!

Holst's "Mars" from The Planets, with the 2nd half of the Death Star battle: https://vimeo.com/49983321

This was entirely based on the really, really, really obvious quoting of the ending when the battlestation blows up. I have no idea if the whole battle was done like that, although it has its moments.

And the Throne Room, with the 4th movement from Dvorak's New World Symphonyhttps://vimeo.com/49984156

Both of them have a few points where you wonder if a different recording, slightly different in tempo or timing or whatever, would synchronize better. It's probably impossible to figure out which version they threw in there originally though, and frankly I'm surprised that certain moments match as well as they do. So I'll live with that.

Later, I should have the Pucini's Manon Lescaut's "Intermezzo" / Binary Sunset up.

Oh, and, as always, the password is OT. We're so secure.

Those look (and sound) great! [Did you use Harmy's?]

Yeah, I almost went mad trying to find the trailer's version of Vivaldi's Winter. Not only it was slowed down to hell, it had to have a certain tempo, the cellos had to play at a certain volume, and it had to have the right harpsichord notes (which apparently were not written for this piece so they are "improvised" with every performance). Also, it was chopped down to fit the action.

Just like I did with this video of mine. Mind you, it's an experiment in editing. Basically I just played around with the official and alternate footage, and tried to imagine how it would have played had they used this jazz score. Also, you'll notice during the Greedo scene I tried to fill in some of the dialogue that was missing. I apologize if it sounds crap.

Video was blocked worldwide by Youtube. Damn. I had to delete it.

Will try uploading tomorrow on vimeo.

Just remember to put a password on it. And tell us the password.

 

Pucini's Manon Lescaut's "Intermezzo"  synced with the Binary Sunset scene, more or less: https://vimeo.com/49986231

I used a sync on youtube of the scene with the "Binary Sunset (alternate)" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bvt5LLrqLYU) as a template, as that's what Williams would have written first in response to the temp track. After rendering, I realized that my drums are in a different spot... but it still seems to work, so I dunno. Such is the way of doing things with Windows Movie Maker.

It feels really different, but nevertheless fascinating. With some careful editing the whole movie could be edited like that, replacing the music with the temp track.

Same video but with a little tweak at the end.  I dubbed the whole Greedo dialogue. I have a cold and a terrible accent, but I just couldn't leave it alone like that.

Again, the password is OT...
