Don’t have access to my computer for another week cause of spring break so after I get home I’ll upload a clip but here’s what I’ve done:
The first thing I noticed was at the beginning of the wide shot of Yoda’s scene, the force theme is finishing its playout which started when Luke watched as the Falcon went away. I made the force theme transition now in its full form. To do so, I color corrected and reversed a shot of the island from earlier in the film, and extended the other establishing shots. This gives a nice, soothing return to the island for such an important scene. This required a rebuilding of the sfx and I currently am trying to smooth out the musical transition as much as possible but I’m close. I also have added a wipe.
The transition from the end of the Yoda scene to Crait will be much easier and quick to pull off. It’ll involve extending the final shot as well since I like it so much.
All of this combined with Ridley’s work on Yoda’s face will really elevate this scene’s role in the film in my opinion.
