Its 10PM here, Im very sleepy, however, I have stayed up to make some mock-ups of TFA-1986 fanedit.

Cyan-ANH (based off the TN1 version saber) lightsaber:

Next, is escaping the Starkiller base, (its just a mockup)

Kylo’s saber 1977-vaderfied: (based on DeEd 2.7)

Han falling replaced with an animated version (based of ROTJ 2.0 workprint, on the sailbarge scene):

And… When the Falcon escaped StarKiller Base: composited from ESB 2.0 (when the falcon escapes Bespin, added noise and obvious matte line.)

this are some ideas you might like (also not the double-this post is edited.)

Sorry mate, can’t see them.

For some notes, I think you have to try using the post-ROTJ “A long time ago in a galaxy far,far away…” From ROTJ DeEd 2.5

The crawl reminds me of the GOUT and its horrible aliasing. I suggest trying to make matte lines outlining the text and try to make the crawl shake vertically.

EDIT: And I think you nailed the laserdisc version of the OT.

I did use the “A long time ago…” From DeEd 2.5. Thanks for the input, I do hate the aliasing and will fix it. 😃

So I’m currently trying to decide if I should keep the cross-guard lightsaber or not. I like it, but it doesn’t really fit in with the OT, thoughts?

I think you’re underestimating the pain in the arse it’s gonna be to get rid of those crossguard blades.

It would be, but so are most of the changes I’m planning on doing.

Does anyone have the same problem as me?

it sounds like with your grandfather, uncle, and parents living with her, she has plenty of a support structure around her.

Thanks for the support 😃. The rest of the people living with her, besides her husband, all moved away all in about a year or so, so that must be driving her even crazier, but what can I do? Go over and visit her more? I already do every week or so to get mail.

If you don’t mind me asking do you know what kind of dementia your grandmother has?

She doesn’t believe that there’s anything wrong, she refuses to go to the doctor. I’ve talked to a few people about her symptoms, and they can’t quite tell what kind it is. They know it’s a mix of Alzheimer’s and Dementia though. With my grandfather being the only one left living with her, because everyone else moved out at around the same time, he’s her only hope to live a happy rest of her life, but he wont do anything about it. I know he is hit with the worst of it, so he probably just gave up. It’s his responsibility to do something like that, but he just wont. Thanks for the support though!

Time

I’ve had this problem for as long as I could remember, and the only people I’m comfortable talking about it with is my family.

Ever since I was old enough to understand the difference between a normal person and a mentally Ill person, I’ve noticed something about my grandmother. She is slowly losing her mind, and I came to ask if anyone else has experienced this with a family member, and how to help deal with it.

As she loses her mind, I’m losing my patience. I lived with her, my grandfather, my uncle, and my parents up until last year, and I noticed her getting worse and worse.

Some of the things she does is as follows:

  1. She forgets things that were said earlier in the conversation, making her loop every conversation back on itself.
  2. She asks the same question 2-3 times in five minutes, even if you give her an answer each time.
  3. She will bring over my mail to my house (I still have it delivered at her house because I live in an apartment complex) at least once a week, even though I tell her not too.
  4. When I was a teenager, she still treated me like a little kid, despite her still knowing my age.
  5. She has to text me every day to make sure I’m all right.
    6?. She can’t cook. (That’s just me complaining, it has nothing to do with her mental illness)
  6. When she retired, she had no money saved up, and lives off of social security and nothing else.
  7. She is to ‘good’ to get food stamps, even though she totally could.
  8. She has to but into every conversation.
  9. She wants to keep renovating her house as much as she can, even though she can’t afford it.

I could easily list more, but I don’t want this thread to be too long. Does anyone else know what I’m talking about.

Hansi Cancer
Time

I’m not trying to defend Hansi, but to be honest, the joke was harmless. The attack was horrible, but the joke was just disappointing. We are bashing him as if he actually contributed to the attack. I think we should just drop it, “This little one’s not worth the effort.”

STILL, LET IT BE KNOWN THAT I AM NOT DEFENDING HIM IN ANYWAY AT ALL!

Are you doing every single frame? Or are u key framing one frame, then skipping ahead a few frames and adding another key frame? That’s the only way I can see it going in and out of sync like that.
But if you go through frame by frame and add a key frame for every one, there really isn’t any way I can think of that it should go in and out of sync in the way you describe.

Could it possibly be messing up because of my settings, or something else I am doing. Could it be that each frame isn’t loading properly and I’m not masking in the right positions? I am completely lost! 😦

I’ve had this same problem, no idea why it happens. I gave up on my editing experiments because of it. If you figure it out let me know.

edit:
though now that I think about it, I read some where that it might be either what program you use to convert file types or what file type you convert to. Are you using MP4?

I am working with AVI files, and even before I render them they’re screwing up.

Hey, I’ve been having a problem with After Effects, and I decided to finally give in and ask for help.

Here’s the problem: For my edit of TFA, I need to mask around certain laser blasts and Lightsabers, but for some reason my masks will come out of sync at random times. All of my comps are at the same frame rate, and I mask each individual frame. Nowhere else online have I seen someone else have this problem, so I have to ask this thread.

Help me OriginalTrillogy, you’re my only hope!

If you’re masking and key framing every individual frame, then I don’t see how it could go out of sync.

Me neither. Once I finish masking, I’ll go away and do something else, but when I come back to that same sequence, a few frames will be out of sync, and it will go back to normal. This is an every time thing, so I doubt it’s something else I’m doing on the project. 😦

Smithers' Prequel Fanedits (a Work In Progress)

Smithers said:

So I’ve been working on making a legit looking poster for The Battle Begins using miscellaneous Drew Struzan art. Here’s a work in progress

I think it looks great, but just one little recommendation: If you’re trying to keep the reveal of Palpatine being Sidious, (Which is what I thought I read the other night while binge reading this thread) then I would move Palpatine further away from Maul and make him a little smaller. Right now I’m kind of getting that evil mastermind feel from it. Really good otherwise though!

Here’s an idea from me, whenever there is a shot similar to this:https://i.imgur.com/Fi0gqkp.png
Put small, just noticeable blobs of blue around the edges of a characters head. Since you’re trying to make this look like something from the 80s this effect will make it more obvious that the actor/s are in front of a blue screen. Empire had a similar problem as seen here: https://i.imgur.com/Ek9Hjej.png

Awesome idea, thanks!
