Well one more clip in my exploration Of Star Wars A new Hope.

This will probably be the last one as although I was scoping out the possibility of an Extended edit I have pretty much come up short. But that does not mean people won’t find things interesting still. So this was an Audio project and with things like this sometimes it can be too Hard to explain so I am sharing this in clip form.

Landspeeder Search & The Sand People Attack

First Watch it!

Here is a Breakdown of the Audio Changes. No Video Changes

Although the reason I had a go at this clip came from a desire to visually show the Landspeeder Scanner It ended up just being a subtle blip sound effect from the radio drama as I decided it would be superfluous and just not needed really. But the subtle Blip connects the Tech to the Action.
I thought that the Landspeeder was too quiet in the canyon so I added a more audible sound effect when it goes past when the Sand People are watching on the cliff top.
I added some disgruntled Beeps as R2-D2 has been caught.
Upon the attack this became 1 of the 2 real good reasons to do the Audio Edit just to see how it would go down… So 3P0 now say “Stay back” steps back and yells using the radio drama and Antony Daniels voice and the dubbed Shrill echo yell which is not Antony Daniels has been removed.
A hit sound has been Added when Luke get’s hit by the Weapon also from the Radio Drama
Now the Second good reason for doing this just to see how it would go down. The Original Krayt Dragon Call without once again the dubbed Shrill echo yelling. But also what is interesting here is you can also hear the parts falling off the Landspeeder and it comes a bit earlier than you are used to.
Slight bit of extra wind effects before Obi-wan takes his Hood off for ambience.

So all in all This was quite Subtle although it sounds quite a lot from the text it is actually not extremely noticeable bar the absence of the weird Shrill Eco yelling. But I would say that I think it works well and I think it feels a bit more Grounded and more subtle without the Shrill Echo Yells.

There was a desire to time the click of the Macro Binoculrs with the zoom in… But ultimately that would have had to have been done with Video Speed I Guess, Basically I wanted to do it but never got to it but the whirr after the clic I was going to use a Blur for that whirring sound after the click was the Macros attaining focus.

Just a bit of Fun but I like it and thought it was worth sharing this.
