Rise of the Rebellion: A Rogue One Edit (Released)

Subatomic said:

Love your list of edits and looking forward to watching.

I’m surprised no one mentioned it on this thread yet, but, Any plans to replace Leia and Tarkin with the deepfakes? https://screenrant.com/rogue-one-cgi-tarkin-leia-video-deepfake-better/

Yes. I’m currently finishing a survivor edition of this edit that has the Tarkin and Leia deepfakes. Thanks to Burbin for sharing the hi quality Shamook files. For Leia I’m using derpfakes as it’s more realistic looking. Hoping to have that done this weekend. I’ll announce it in a new thread and will let everyone know when it’s up on the spleen and available via zippyshare.

I’ll also be making a revision to the base edit of Rise of the Rebellion that will feature the deepfakes but without the team surviving.

Hi, how can we check if we have v1, v2 or whatever ? I’m supposed to have v2, but I’m not sure.

This post was from October 2019, so if you downloaded the file after that point and it has the updates listed below it’s v2…or whatever 😛

DigMod said:

I’ll be releasing a v2 of this edit that addresses a stutter as the Falcon takes off, adjusts the starfield movement during the transition scene to Mimban and adds an explosion to when the first uncoupled train cars hit the floor of the ravine. Here’s the fixed Falcon takeoff: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dPxViUwSwB8
I’ll post again when the file is available. I’ll also update the spleen.

Still looking for subtitles BTW : there are only about 7 Billion people on Earth who don’t have english as native language, so… ^^

There is only one me that doesn’t know the languages of those 7 billion people who don’t have English as their native language and would appreciate any help in producing what you are looking for (I’m not sure if that is English subtitles or language specific subtitles?). If you have the means to do so, 7 billion people, plus one, would be grateful 😉

Deepfake Tarkin & Leia swap (Rogue One) (up on the Shamook youtube channel)
Time

Nice work there! I’m working on the Shamook footage in my Rise of the Rebellion Survivor Cut and noticed those missing scenes. I don’t know what NLE you use, but if you are using Vegas Pro you can adjust the rate to match the 23.97sfps base. It’s not perfect, but I was able to get the derpfakes Leia scene to work that way.

Star Wars - Episode IV: The Heir of Skywalker (V2 Released)
Time

I’m personally not a fan of all the added blue to the greys. The increase of contrast in the highlights look like they rob the image of fine detail quality for the sake of adding more light. Having been to the dunes many times, I don’t really ever remember the sky being so vibrantly blue, though I’m sure atmospherics would be different on other worlds and locations. I think JJ nailed the sand look with Jakku personally https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8sarFZJl3h0&ab_channel=JohnnyJawbone

Yes they did, but what is the point of fighting it anymore. People are going to do whatever they want when you put something on the internet. That’s what I’ve had others tell me, that I shouldn’t be so concerned about what happened in the past.

Personally I don’t see why it would need to be fought. We aren’t allowed to profit from fanediting so there isn’t an issue of loss that will impact your financial stability. I get that you want your vision to be seen in the highest quality, but at the same time I have to remind myself that we are all essentially doing the same thing to the work of director’s, actors, and studios. It would be terrible if a director pulled all of their movies they made from commercial circulation to make sure no one messed with them. Many would then be forced to consider other options to get them.

You could always post a comment on the video saying something like “It’s great to see some of my fanediting in these videos!” and put time stamps and links to this thread or where ever you promote your work. You could also mention that if people want to watch the highest quality of your edits they should contact you directly. As one who’s had this happen, I view it as a non-issue, or at least one that has little to no impact on my own fanediting

Favorite VHS/Laserdisc/DVD/Blu-Ray covers
Time

DisneyRetconnedMeOut said:

My favorite covers were the THX mastered VHS tapes from 1995 with the big images of Vader, the stormtrooper and Yoda. I loved the simplicity and iconic art style.

I just googled the set and it’s amazing how tangible the images are and how vivid my memories with that set are. We got them for Christmas one year with a little zenith CRT tv with a vhs built in. I must have watched that set at least monthly for years.

Star Wars - A New Score (* on hiatus *)
Time

Which recording will you be using? This recording by The Georgian Festival Orchestra under the direction of Jahni Mardjani is my favorite. It feels like space in the way that they recorded it and I like the difference in strings and horns that are used vs other recordings. https://open.spotify.com/album/6oeZou8AqtGgPyLBcCo0eI
TMBTM used some Holts Planets pieces in the War of the Stars edits. Fantastic music!

Pro Audio Engineer looking to get involved!<br>

I would LOVE to have some help with quality dialogue replacement/redubbing of Kylo Ren in the interrogation scene for Heir to the Force. Maybe that will help me actually do the Heir to the Force Restructured I’ve been meaning to do for some time. At the least I would need some help getting a more accurate Kylo Ren masked voice effect on the interrogation scene and following scene with Snoke.

theprion said:

Are you adding any footage (ie. Odyssey) to your base non-survivor cut that could throw these subs out of sync?

I’m interested in translating them to Brazilian Portuguese, and I can start work on it depending on whether or not the runtime will be the same. If you are, I’ll wait for V2 to come out - if not I’ll do it right away so you can include them in V2 (if you’d like, that is).

What do you say?

Big fan of your edits.

Cheers!

Thanks for the kind words theprion! I wasn’t planning to add any shots to the base version of this edit. I am working on redoing the intro effects as well as removing some further segmented shots that would slightly change the timing of the edit. I’ll hopefully have a V2 done by the end of the month with those updates.

I just heard that these are no longer available. That’s a shame as you have continuously done superb work. I’ve had my edits ripped off before and I can understand the frustration attached to that. No doubt you, like myself, poured countless hours into your edits. While it’s frustrating and even disheartening, I personally don’t understand why you’d totally remove them because of one or a few people making lower quality copies. There will always be people who rip-off creatives. Always someone who will try to get a sub or a like from someone else’s work. The original directors and editors may very well be feeling the same feelings about fan edits and view them as being a defaced version of their work. Thankfully they still persist. Giving in and pulling out is letting those who copy your work win. We need you and your edits in our communities. Other’s low quality copies are simply there because everyone knows you’ve made gems. The real fans will use a Google search to find the best quality versions. Anyway, I hope you reconsider. You’re a fanedit of the month alum that stands as an example of consistency and quality. It’s a shame to lose your work and your creative excitement.
