Hello bobgarcia74, I am looking trough your RODS clips again and again because you make this movie look so good! Of course, the more you make something look consequent and good, the more one notices unclean stuff... luckily.
- Opening battle: very noticable cut in the middle of explosion of a small fighter ship. You cut it to not show the flying pilot corpse just for effect's sake like Lucas, but maybe leave it as original or some end of the explosion is needed. I think there are no cuts in the middle of explosion to a different place in SW movies (only not if it's the same explosion, like Death Star exploding). All cuts in your work should be clean because your work deserves that. Or maybe leave the explosion sound longer after video cut.
- Invisible Hand: when Obi and Anakin step out of an Elevator to captive Palpatine, in your cut there should be some visible rest of slauthered droids on the elevator floor behind them, otherwise you have a continuity problem.
- The begining of Obi's and Anakin's duel has a strong soundboost - Rise Of The Volume , which stays that way loud - if you watch the clip from the beginning again you will hardly hear them all talking. I don't know your reason for this volume disbalance, but it woud be a pity to leave it this way because it's clumsy (untipical for the rest of your quality work) and unneccesary. I like to hear music louder, I think OT has beter mix of music and foley, but this here is a little bit out of place...
- In case you treat Yoda - Palpatine duel like JasonN: I finally watched JasonN's version yesterday and noticed that for story's sake we need to see Yoda getting away from newly hostile Coruscant to Polis Massa. He wasn't taking Holidays on Coruscant. He is forced to leave as he can not face Palpatine alone. We need to see his decision to leave the place for good. Otherwise it looks unconvincing that such important person (Palpatine's greatest target) can move however wherever because we suddenly see him in polis massa. Maybe just show him driving with Organa in the "car" saying that he has to go. I don't know if you considered this or not.
- Why did you change ingenious original Grievous approaching music to Utapau? It would fit the Night version as well. But this version is great as well, it just has no new musical motif. It's way darker though.
- If you already did such a great work, it woud be a pity to notice anything strange in dialogue edits. Example: Clip "Losing General Greavous cough example 2" there are very noticable cuts because you cut video and sound abrupt and don't soften the cut with longer remain of audio from a previous clip, at least in this sequence. Also beside this on 1:47 we see dangerous droid reaching his hand towards R2 but it's cut so fast after reaching that we don't know why: to strike him or just to keep him in range? It's just needs some more detailed work on it. Maybe it would help to put the sound of approching droids from the next clip already during ending of this one and than Obi immidiately shown asks :"Do you have a plan B?"
- Maybe it would be great if Adywan says his opinion on your cut as well because he's very critical perfectionist, if you're interested in his opinion and if he would find the time to watch it.
Thank you for doing this once again as well everyone who supports this.
Cheers
P.S. I fogot something important: I don't know how emotionally connected you are with your renamed title of your cut but for a foreign person which are many fans in the world the word "REIGN" is not very familliar and it sounds like, much familliar "RAIN of the dark side" which sounds crazy. Maybe you would concider some another, very clear title for a meaning's sake?
