ROTJ:R, ANH:R (HD) and I, II & III will all be worked on simultaneously. No word yet on if they will be released all together or one at a time.

I read about the intention to work on I, II & III simultaneously on doubleofive's 'Wordpress' news updates, but I didn't realise that adywan was *also* planning to undertake those at the exact same time as his 'ROTJ:R' and 'ANH:R(HD)' edits too...

Which makes things even more incredible muddyknees, if that's the case!  

That's gonna make for a heap of new threads and ideas for us all to follow when that time comes, although I suppose there only needs to be a single one to cover updates/suggestions/'Frink'isms etc. for the I, II & III edits themselves - if that's judged preferable to three separate threads. 

Lots to look forward to then, and it'll be a job just to keep up with it all. :)

I think it's the wisest decission to approach those four at the same time. ANH is a stand alone film. It was thought to be so. And ESB could be considered the one that develops every possible plotline suggested in ANH. ROTJ, however, is the closure and it necessarily links not just to EPIV and EPV but to the long past I, II and III as well.

It could be said that by working on the rest of the revisited saga at the same time, Adywan reassures that he won't be held captive in PT:R by the decissions that by action or omission he made in ROTJ:R or vice-versa.

And it's a titanic challenge to do this, so all my respects for him.

And we all know what happened to the Titanic ;)

Yup. It went on to make James Cameron LOTS of money.

Stop hitting on Ady. He's a married man ;-)

It's true, that does sound like a little innuendo, coming from a man named Bingowings.

If I offered you something hot with one lump or two you guys would look for a double meaning.

I have a question about the edit...

How do you actually process the film as an edit?

Do you do it on a chapter by chapter basis and string ot all togeyher or smaller sections than this?

I am curious because of the 2 part process of color correction and the visually editing upon the color corrected new source.... Obviously you also don't want to lose quality either by rendering and re-rendering.to add more or make a chsnge.

With the audio being the last pass is this done with all footage strung together or before final assembly of all footage?

While you're answering workflow questions, I figured I'd try to squeeze in another one:

When doing color correction, do you make many masks to correct specific objects/areas in the frame? Or is it more global correction to the shot as a whole?

Especially since CC is the first thing you do, I would think meticulously rotoscoping would slow the process down tremendously, though it would set you up for the more advanced effects shots down the road.

On another note, it seems a new fan edit is causing me all sorts of headaches...

http://fanedit.org/ifdb/component/content/article/79-fanedit-listings/fanfix/938-star-wars-episode-i-return-of-the-sith-revisited-edition

I'm getting numerous messages and emails from people asking me where they can get the edit, why have i done episode 1 before finishing ESB:R, etc etc. I guess they didn't bother to check the editors name before bombarding me with all these questions. lol

 

People and reading...sheesh. Too bad you're being distracted as a consequence.

I had a notion that this edit by seciors might lead to confusion amongst some, when I read up on it a while back. 

I've yet to watch it, but he seems like a talented faneditor, and he's certainly incorporated lots of changes to his 'Episode I' version that I'm interested to see.  It was called 'Revisited Edition' because of it being an HD re-do/improvement of an earlier version he released.  And for those that don't know, amongst the other edits he's released is one called 'The Abyss:Revisited Edition' and he's planning another called 'Titanic:Revisited Edition' eventually too.

And Monroville's currently stalled 'ALIEN:Revisited' is yet another title that potentially causes confusion.

Thing is, while there's certainly no rule or obligation in fanediting circles to not use 'Revisited' in their edit titles...I just kinda think that it's become so associated with adywan's groundbreaking project, that there *should* be! :)

Despite my mis-givings, I guess imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

Just go the Ghostbusters route...

Anybody in the UK with the ability to cast the Han in carbonite prop for Ady? He's having some issues.

The story from FB:

Well i have been let down big time and this has caused all sorts of problems now. 

The person in the Uk that i commissioned to cast the hands and legs of the Han in Carbonite prop, which was taken from original castings, has not delivered on his promise. He basically took my money and royally screwed me about. Not what i would expect from a member of the Replica Prop Forum. I was supposed to have received them by the end of last month but nothing. No replies to any of my emails or messages. So i opened a paypal dispute recently and suddenly he contacts me. Claims he has had no internet and was in the process of moving house. Well, iif he knew he was moving house then why say he could even do this commission in time. He then said that he got his girlfriend to sent out many packages but wasn't sure if mine was among them (seriously?). He said they the plan was to get them to me this week. Well, he only lives a few hours away from me so delivery would only be a few days max. Again this week no reply to any of my messages AT ALL. 

A couple of other people contacted me saying that they are still waiting for their items and have been waiting a lot longer than me.

Now this has completely screwed me up. I am now in the process of claiming my cash back from him through paypal. I think i was fair enough to him and gave him plenty of time to rectify this, but i'm making the claim as time has almost ran out. 

So now i have to start from square one again. I now need to find someone who is able to cast the hands & legs, that is preferably in the UK (due to shipping and taxes which there is no way i could afford and shipping times etc) and is 100% reliable, able to do the castings pretty cheap and can knock them out and get them delivered as quick as possible. 

So, if anyone knows anyone that can help with this, it would be greatly appreciated. I'm totally stuck with this.

Thanks

Logically it makes more sense to cast a set of HanDs and Feet.

They don't have to be Harrison's.

Indeed you could make the positions more realistic considering he has only a microsecond between whatever frees his bonds and raising his arms up.

Reading around it seems Harrison wears a size 12 shoe (you know what they say about men with big shoes...      big FEET HA HA HA) and he is 6ft 1 so positioning an approximate set of shoes shouldn't be too hard.

Feet and hands are generally proportional so he should have the hands of a man with size 12 shoes.

There must be someone Ady knows with size 12 feet?

Transcripted from comment on the original post.

Adywan:

"Actually all i would need to get hold of so i can carry on with building the prop and film it is the hands. But they have to be taken from the original film used prop (which most of the Han in Carbonite fan made props are anyway) thanks to Harrison's slightly twisted fingers. I did try casting my own but it is impossible to get the hands in the exact same pose :("

I was watching Harmy's Despecialized Edition of ESB, and I just noticed that Chewie should be repositioned in his first appearance (when Han has just returned to base and shouts "Chewie, Chewie!").

In the wide shot of him welding, Chewie is facing the cockpit. But in the immediate next shot (and subsequent ones), he's sitting with his back turned towards it. Easiest solution would be to flip him in the wide shot.

Perhaps this has already been addressed/confirmed, but I only just noticed :) 

What about this for the carbonite issue?

Other size 12 hands are available.

Looking at the finger positions it doesn't look that difficult to do (but like Paul McGann I do have weird thumbs).

So you made this too, huh?

Thing is Kurgan, while the word itself is generic and common...it's long been associated with adywan's ongoing project...where *'fanedits'* are concerned.  In my opinion, certainly. 

And I don't see anything in his post that 'claims' it anyway.  He just pointed out the fact that he's ended up getting lots of bothersome queries about it...which is due to the fact that others also seem to associate any 'Star Wars' edits with that title as perhaps being by him too...

G'night all.

*EDIT* -  Wait!...I just realised that you actually meant that those *asking* adywan about it being his work or not, were the ones at fault.  It was just the way you wrote that, so if I picked you up wrongly, then I apologise Kurgan.

I really must get some sleep it seems... 

Thanks for the info on how the work is carried out.

Don't know what to suggest so far as the Han in carbonite hands...

Theres a shop not to far from me called Jedi robe

http://www.jedi-robe.com/star_wars_shop_london_uk.html

Don't know it may be worth a try... They may have contacts or prop hire infomation and this may lead you to the Hamd casts you need to get done.

It's a reputable business so they should help or perhaps point you in the right direction if they know where to find a Han in Carbonite full size replica prop.

I found one for hire on this site if it helps
