Congrats on finally finishing this NeverarGreat! Very interested in seeing what colour choices you’ve made in certain scenes.
Do you have any plans to work on The Empire Strikes Back or Return of the Jedi?
Looking at the whole thing put together after years of working on it piecemeal, I see nothing but problems and ‘almost there’ shots. I finally start to see what the film should look like, which makes any shot that doesn’t quite make it look terribly unfortunate in comparison. But the time comes when you have to abandon the work and release it.
After this is released, I’m planning on taking a long break from color correction. Hopefully there will be a good official release of the trilogy in the meantime (or another great fan project), but if that doesn’t happen then who knows, I may be back at it someday. 😉
I’m familiar with that feeling. Reminds me of that famous Leonardo da Vinci quote ‘Art is never finished, only abandoned.’
You definately deserve a big break, honestly I could never focus on a single release for such a long period of time like you have and to an even greater extent Adywan has done, I’d go nuts.
I was suffering from Star Wars fatigue myself a few months back when I put together my latest Star Wars and Empire Strikes Back Semi-Specialised releases, I needed a break and didn’t get round to doing Return of the Jedi. I’m planning to get that finished in the next few months just before The Last Jedi comes out.
That’s the one thing I dislike about working on my favourite films, it wears them out for me when I’m constantly jumping back and forth between scenes out of sequence to check how the colours look, trying to make sure the colours look good across the whole film. It can take a number of months to regain all my enthusiasm for the film again after i’ve finished working on it.
