Hi RogueLeader

Thanks for the response!

Funnily enough, the exit hyperspace sound from TLJ was EXACTLY what I had in mind too, as I said, something as ‘simple’ as just a sound cue, to just give some context to why people might be gathering to look up at the sky.

With regard to both of those observations I made, I haven’t picked it all apart enough to have even a rough idea of what would be involved. ie working around wipes and fades, sound and music mix either side of the edits etc.

Please know that I am VERY aware that it’s very easy for someone like me to throw ideas and suggestions around when I’m not the one who has spent months/years labouring over the project.

I totally appreciate that me sitting here from the comfort of my desk without the relevant software/hardware/general skills and having the nerve to make recommendations is a bit rich…

If I did have the kit, I’d definitely see what I could throw together just to ‘give back’ a bit, especially when HAL has clearly busted his ass to make something so near to perfect (and lets be honest the actual ordering of the main scene in question is inherent to the original cut, not so much as a creative decision made by HAL)

However, considering the effort that has gone into EVERYTHING here, editing, VFX, sound mix etc…I think anything I’d add or shuffle would just look and sound amateur and the product would ultimately be worse for my involvement with (MUCH!) less skilled execution.

If/when HAL does chime in, please know that I only brought these ideas to the table BECAUSE the product is so damn good well thought out and executed that these ideas are only supposed to be suggestions relating to last ditch house keeping/refinement/polishing rather than anything that needs changing.

I love your work. Thanks again for all of your effort.
