Would you mind posting your updated version of that sequence when you can? Might help to perfect it there before moving on.
I leave that to kewlfish. If he wants to do the effect all the way through using the sources I’m using, I’m all for the effect carrying through to the end. Whenever I can, I’ll handle the audio side of things, probably after doing a more substantial workprint without it to tide people over longterm.
Can I make a suggestion,
When you do the Ben Solo scenes, can you make sure you use Skenera’s purple lightsaber scenes as base footage?Edit:
These are the clips I am referring to:
Unless, of course, kewlfish prefers to have the effect cease when it is handed to Ben through the Force. If not, I’d also need the effect applied to jonh’s ghost footage when the saber is used.
Well, if the crackling stops when it’s passed to Ben it’d mean less work! And it could be one of those things one may not notice on first viewing. Works for me.
And thanks, axios, for your take. Glad you liked it! We’ve hashed those ideas out. I added some light duel of the fates music from Maul’s scene in Solo, which was Cinefy’s idea. It’s not overpowering, scratches an itch, and feels like a good compromise.
I also don’t want to use tracked score for that Palpatine music. Maybe I’ve lived inside the prequels too much, but that music in that moment is readily identifiable as the order 66 montage and I find it very distracting.
Or maybe just have 3PO’s virgin alarm go off which is why he enters the scene.
Ohh, interesting.
Man, you are so clever with all of these ideas.
I’ve been such a Klaud this evening. Yes, that second video is perfect for that. I have been ducking in between guerrilla cleaning my house and didn’t ever click on the second one.
And I love the cover artwork, thanks to you guys for working together on it.
We’re gonna get this thing there!
I hope he has. I’ll choose to believe so.
Don’t need deets on your love life but I’ll look forward to the eventuality. 😃
I think the sounds most in need is just static crackling like when it’s being held still. I won’t replace the other swishing sounds or anything like that. Just overlaying the crackle at times without overdoing it since her saber isn’t as fractured as Kylo’s.
I have some, but does anyone have a good set of various foley sounds for Kylo’s crackly saber?
That’s all right. I’m not in a hurry to release a final product and would rather wait until things are right than to have to do a V2 sometime later. And I doubt your piece will be the final bit to wait for anyway.
I will decide on an approximate audio level baseline for the effect, being less than Kylo’s. It doesn’t need to be loud. And I’ll try to approximate how the audio effect behaves for Kylo’s saber. Or it may work better to only really hear it when the saber is on and things are quiet. I imagine underdoing it rather than overdoing it.
Like with more tongue?
I don’t see why they would, and I wouldn’t expect the movie to have characters explicitly acknowledge it.
I saw everyone talking about making Rey’s lightsaber have a crackly blade. I’m a hobbyist, so not professional work but definitely a neat concept. Super early draft.

pw: faneditEdit: Also, if anyone is interested I found this picture of a planetary view of Ajan Kloss from BFII, added a letterbox to it… someone could add the Falcon to it or something, maybe when Finn, Poe and Chewie come back after Leia dies? Here is the link if needed.

Part 2 of this too
lol. I’ll wait for kewlfish or anyone to confirm if they intend to do that effect for the whole movie before I do any audio stuff for it, though!
And I assume a full quality source will be worked from, too.
Works for me, if kewlfish or anyone else wants to do the work visually.
I can listen to how Kylo’s saber audio works in the other two movies and add the effect more subtly throughout TROS.
Well hey, if you’d like to make that change for the whole movie, I’d implement it! There may be a shot or two that’ll need it from Dominic’s version of the desert fight scene.
I’ve only got my phone at the moment, but is that an audio only change?
I’m not sure I like the idea of Ben Solo taking up a still fizzly, unstable blade at the end climax, though.
And while it would take a lot more storage space that I have to host a true lossless export, I always put out a ~30GB version which is a lot more than most projects that are in turn used as source material. I can also make available the various pieces and files I have been sent that I used.
In all honesty, I don’t think adjusting by a frame’s worth that late into the movie would be worthwhile. When I did this, I often had to find the closest frame to align to, with a GOUT audio track as reference. Sometimes it wasn’t a perfect match and I had to go with whichever frame alignment produced a lesser echo.
If I added a frame at that point in ANH I would have to do something to contrive a frame’s worth of repeated audio anyway. It just doesn’t make sense and the end result would not be appreciably better for it.
If I were in charge of getting a mix ready to play in theaters with D+77, I’d feel confident in what I’ve already done.
No. For one thing, it would be a hell of a lot of work for somebody. and it is not necessary.
I don’t know if it’d be worth an alternate version; I know that can be a pain in the ass. lol
Natedug did the TLJ cover. I’d suggest PMing him. I’d do it but I’d just become a bottleneck middleman.
I think I like the first one best also. That’s very nice. I think it’ll fit wonderfully alongside the other two. I really appreciate the work!
Yeah? Well I hope he doesn’t!
😛
