"Champions of the Force"; Holly's Attack of the Clones edit (Work In Progress) — Page 2

Is that (the forest moon of) Endor as a moon of Coruscant? Planning a ROTJ edit?

Really not a fan of the new color grading. I like things saturated.

Ok.

Really? I think the desaturated colours make the film look less like a cartoon and make the CGI effects blend better with the live-action. Also looks closer to ANH to me.

I also like the new colors, they match the rest of the movies well. And they look correct regarding skin tones, clothes, etc. To me they are an improvement.

How different will this fanedit be?

While bullet points of plot points and specific cuts and changes are useful, I plan on shifting the feel and of this whole movie, so it’s sort of hard to describe. It will be completely different from every edit I’ve seen of this movie.

I would talk further about my specific plans but I don’t want to disappoint anyone if those changes end up not happening, and I would absolutely hate to oversell anything.

Where is that final in the trailer from? Did you create that?

I made it using some elements from Force Awakens!

Thanks for the screen comparisons. Looks more like the OT.

Really excited for this. Any idea at what point in 2020 it might be released?

It looks great, I take it that it’s to replace the awful shot of Anakin searching for his mother. Looks very OT. Beautiful work. I’m really looking forward to this edit.

I’m really liking what I see, not sure if I can stand your removal of some unique sound effects and the perfect AOTC score (it’s my favorite of the Star Was movies so it’s sad to see it go), but as it stands it will probably be fantastic. I can’t wait!

If I had to give any sort of rough estimations it would have to be very late in the year. Again, I’m scared of over-promising. Some of my goals I feel like will end up being much more daunting than I initially assumed.

If I may, I suggest you start by tackling the pursuit/disco scene and the Geonosis arena fight.
For me those are the most challenging sequences regarding action sequence tone. Geonosis is also poorly edited with many out of sequence scenes. I think that if you succeed in getting them right, the rest of the edit will go smoothly.

Are you considering story changes or sequence reorder ?
I have some suggestions based on things I’ve tried and work well, but don’t want to steal your thread 😉

Hi Snooker!

Loving the look of this.

I strongly dislike AOTC, primarily because I think there was a huge disconnect in how it looked…which I attribute/attributed to GL’s switch to filming the movie in digital (which back then was in it’s infancy)

On top of your colour grading, have you added some artificial film-esque grain?

If so it looks great!!!

…if not, IT STILL LOOKS GREAT!!

Beautiful work, I look forward to watching this.

As a subpoint do any of you guys remember the way back when this was being shot, the leaked storyboards for the Obi-wan and Jango fight on Kamino and the Jango/Windu/Reek sequence in the Arena?

I remember being gutted when the film released and both sequences were missing some great shots of action choreography that were storyboarded, but what made it worse was how obvious it was that they must have been shot but must have been butchered out during editing because of how poorly parts of the fight flowed from shot to shot where those pieces were missing.

I never could understand what forced the cuts and it’s a shame no cut footage from those sequences ever saw the light of day otherwise they’d make great material to be reinserted back via fan edits

I think that Rogue One should be Episode III in your edit series.

Looking good Snook. Are there any ‘common’ edits (from L8wrtr’s, Hal’s, etc) that you definitely will or won’t include? You’re understandably hesitant to talk about the more aspirational stuff, but, for example, will you make the common changes of removing the diner scene and removing C3PO’s antics in the droid factory?

C3PO won’t step foot on Geonosis, and I don’t plan on Dex making an appearance.

Your edits (besides this one; I guess it’s not for me) always sound so interesting. It’s just a shame you never finish any of them.

Why you gotta call him out like that?

Oof.

Really though, I was trying to motivate him to follow a project through to the end.

Mod Edit: ^ Your trying to ‘motivate’ someone in an edit that is ‘not for me’ comes across as both abrupt and snark. I strongly suggest you don’t choose to ‘motivate’ in this manner any further.
 

*Her, and whether she follows a project through to the end is her business. Shaming is poor form.
