STAR WARS: EP V &quot;REVISITED EDITION&quot;<strong>ADYWAN</strong> - <strong>12GB 1080p MP4 VERSION AVAILABLE NOW</strong>
Time

I can't imagine why it would choke a quad-core system unless Adywan is building all frame to frame elements together in After Effects such as colour correction, new frame and multiple effects layers and allowing them to all process at once.

 

Shall we all pitch in and buy Adywan a quad octo-core behemoth for a 1080p Jedi?

STAR WARS: EP V &quot;REVISITED EDITION&quot;<strong>ADYWAN</strong> - <strong>12GB 1080p MP4 VERSION AVAILABLE NOW</strong>
Time

The more I read about the project and view the Revisited samplers, the more I am beginning to believe this will truly be the definitive edition.

 

The good thing about this type of project is, you can come back to it all the time, tweaking, fixing, enhancing and letting the fan community see the evolution of a project that would never come about for any other film.

 

Makes me wonder, if the special editions hadn't appeared, would Adywan be working on the same project, first fixing the glaring effect and continuity errors then enhancing to his hearts content?

Here is an audio sample of the Klingon language from the previously linked video of the Klingon computer game.

It is a very quick first draft. I've managed to remove a fair amount of the background engine noise without affecting the speech. The air between phrases can be muted and the use of equiliser and reverb to give the speech more of a rumble can be tweaked to perfection.

 

It shows that within this sample, there is plenty of material to construct viable, crisp and distinct dialogue. Considering the gutteral, confident tones, this could very well be the commanding officer's voice.

How about simply 'To Boldly Go'?

 

I consider this to be a front-runner for the title of the twelfth Star Trek movie but I honestly believes it fits the ethos and ambition of this fan edit of TMP. After all, the new, refitted Enterprise challenges a machine that has literally sampled and recorded the Universe around it, akin to meeting a silent but polarising God-like figure.

 

Many, many people who aren't even fans of the show could easily give a quick snippet of the opening monologue and 'To Boldly Go' seems to be the defining moment.

I think the defining aspect of TMP was that it took a concise and visually evident break away from the television series. It allowed the viewer for the first time to be overwhelmed in the spectable of seeing Star Trek on the big screen. This meant gloriously detailed models that held up in close-up shots and even down to using custom made serif fonts in title cards.

 

A definitive fan edit of TMP should take cues from the Adywan Star Wars edits for single scene enhancements, fixing bad mattes, subtle though plot relevant additions to the shot and then go forward through alot of discussion about how to re-edit, re-pace and re-imagine the film.

 

I always felt TMP was a good movie that had a great movie lurking within, and from what I've read here and in the initial blueprint and pre-planning webpage, I honestly believe an 'eighteen month refit' will allow the first Star Trek film to sit alongside it's even numbered counterparts as one of the defining late 70's science fiction stories.

 

For the record, I would love to be part of this.
