Hi There been a while since I posted any information regarding Rebels thus far I put in on the shelf as I was reviewing The Last Jedi I discovered a lot of bad roto work within regards to Luke/Ray’s saber, as they filmed it with a thick toy real blade that lights up. For one, it is too short, For two, it is too think of a prop to use as it made the roto work look to thick… And for Three, They put a warped pointy tip that in some of the shots just look bad. (especially in motion with no motion blur).
Anyone that has ever seen my previous work from a few years ago I have pretty good at removing and fixing things this was one of those things I have addressed in my version. The pointy tips are gone and the sabers look good in motion. I also corrected Luke green saber sequence with roto re-do’s. (made them thiner and longer) Essentially to match what I did in my ROTJ.
I have a finished master that I still need to render to h264 but long story short it is about ready for anyone who wants a preview. I thought about retro fitting the falcon’s engines like I did 2 years ago with TFA, but overall I felt they bridged the GAP from what they originally did with TFA vs now. (It is more smoothed over). And at this point I am like Fuck it. There is only so much you have time to change.
Other things changed was CC’ed opening craw and end credit to match the Font color from the original trilogy. Also will be adding 20th CF to the opening leading into the start of the movie like the original 6, and I also plan on removing some of the Disney classic one liners from the film that has absolutely no business being in a Star Wars movie. (Bleepie boope doo”) is now gone.
Now why I realize that TLJ has story and editing holes all over the place and it has been widely reviewed as a bad Star Wars movie. I am not going to correct that, I will leave that to someone younger who has more time on their hands… But Hopefully they will be able to use what I have done and incorporate it with their own edits.
The Video will be in H264 1080p, Audio will be lossless from 5.1 DTS to PCM 5.1 uncompressed (to preserve original track quality.)
My Private version is done, but I will let you know when the public one is finished. Should be in a few days.
Until then Cheers.
