So I guess tomorrow night will be hologram removal night. I'll see what I can do with it 8)

Holy!

In motion :D:D:D

Awesome work :D

-Angel

Well this all looks pretty interesting...not sure how I missed this thread, but looking forward to seeing the final product.

Good job!

Oh crap...Wrong thread!!

Battle over Coruscant color corrected as per Angels request. This is for my Reign of the Dark Side Edit.
This was my first crack at it, angel. What do you think?
Removed as much yellow as I could. Also toned down some blue.

Again, this was just a quick version. I'll prob do alot more detail work before release.

Holy Potatoes!

This is awesome!

IF you have these results only from the first pass imagine with more work what can you achieve!

Impressive results there!!!

Keep it up Bob :D

A few thoughts on the lastest video...

Space battle is great! I love the edits you here...it helps move everything along and is more focused.

I don't pick up on the colors as much as others do...but I can tell some of the blues are gone and it looks quite good.

No battle droid voices! yay! :D

I personally would cut Anakin's "I sense count dooku" line. Although it makes sense that they would sense him...it's a little more dramatic once dooku appears. Plus the first villian we actually see is GG...so it's a bit confusing. my 2 cents. ;)

No coughing GG! yay!

Heck, I don't know if GG's line about Dooku is needed either. It's just something I'm considering right now. maybe you could exchange it for another line...

If you could extend Dookus first shot (with him bringing down his lightsaber) by a few frames (at the end) I think it would look alot better. It's just a little too fast...I feel it doesn't quite have enough time for our eyes to register the whole shot. again my 2 cents...

The door looks great!

Looking great!

Yeah, the first shot of Dooku is already slowed pretty drasticaly. there's not much left after you clip out all of the section of him jumping. I'll try to slow it down alittle more, and see what it looks like.

Gonna be working alittle bit more on this section this weekend, so well see what comes of some of the mentioned ideas.

I'm still trying to track down some better Tie fighter sound FX. Even the ones from the video games are not that great. The sounds on the Star Wars soundboard are the ones I would love to get my hands on. But not sure if thats possible

Thanks for the input.

 PM fredstar he has all the soundboard effects/ or you could go to the SW revisited thread

also:

sansfi said: Another idea about the music. While facing Dooku, the music? starts when Obi-Wan gets knocked out, and feels too obvious like "hey, audience, NOW pay attention because this is important"...
I guess it would be HARD to edit this, but maybe the music should start while Dooku is talking to Anakin about hate, it will enter in a more subtle way and will really make emphasis on what is important.

i know this music is before the "you have hate, you hav anger, but you dont use them" line but still.

thanks fish, Pm sent to Fred. Watched the youtube you posted. I'll give that some thought.

Palpatines swivel chair removed. Worked out pretty good I think. Keep them ideas coming Angel 8)

Still working on the Hologram

You are the man !!! :D

EPIC

-Angel

OK, I've seen this done before in an edit or two but I thought I'd suggest it:

Dooku's line "I've been looking forward to this." should be moved up to right *before* they actually begin to battle. It doesn't make as much sense for him to say it during the battle. again my 2 cents...

Whatever you do, please, please, please, do not reintroduce the "Birth of the rebelion" and "Yoda lands on Dagobah" scenes just because they are there, since we all agree that there is no need to explain everything.

I guess, besides any changes that you might want to do, the four main "scenes" that need to be reedited are the coruscant battle, the confrontation between obiwan and grievous, the whole mace windu palpatine anakin and the whole final battle (padme and anakin, yoda and sidious and obiwan anakin)

I guess those 4 scenes are the ones that are most poorly directed, because they are long, distracting, or because George Lucas forgot what the point of the scenes were and got distracted with background robots and special effects.

I will not be putting in the birth of the rebellion clips.

 All the rest of the parts you mentioned are being redone with a heavy amount of cuts, reworks and new ideas. Check the rest of my Youtubes for a small sample. Most of those youtube vids are older clips tho, and have been already edited even further. Like the Obi Grievous duel, But it just gives you an idea of the amount of thought I'm putting into this.

I'd suggest trying to find the clips not on my channel tho, for some reason when you view them on my channel, the quality goes to crap 8)

I know the idea was to lose the hologram in this scene but testing with shrinking it down, to make more sence. The first part of the clip is the unaltered version, the second half is the resize. Dont mind any video flickers. This is a rough draft to collect thoughts.

I say erase it completely!

It might be usefull if you can add a waveform somewhere in the cockpit(maybe  redesign it a bit)
