Small update.
The video edit for the Luke Binoculars and the treadwell Droid is finally done…
I was unsure about it all being just a tease and not showing a POV Binocular shot, so I ended up doing a single Binocular POV shot and it came out quite well for the Star Destroyer chasing the Tantive. Anything more than that would be too much POV shots.
It took a while to try to come up with how the shot would have been done and I ended up going with the dodgy UFO Video look not seeing anything particularly detailed just shapes with video noise applied and I think it came out quite well and I also think it is quite funny that this is the solution I came to and that it probably works best.
Sparks were added for Treadwells Welding arm and the shot’s extended with animation for it to make better sense.
I don’t have to start the sound mix from scratch But now things have shifted about a bit I will have to conform what I did to the new timings.
I have found a decent sound for the Treadwell Welding Arm so that and the Binoculars sound effects getting them now to work with the Binocular POV shot too.
This sequeunce has been such a difficult nut to crack that If I can nail this one the other scenes will be easy in comparison (fingers crossed). There is so much going on in this scene but I am looking forward to the end result.
The scene I have been dreading the most has so far been the most rewarding to work on It’s got better and better and I am not sure that I will be able to say the same for the other scenes but I will try.
Although the footage is still dirty it has come along way from what it was totally raw and that is a reassuring sign about a scene. Although it does not do a lot apart from introduce us to Luke on his moisture farm.
The Plan I think is do the Opening with this scene up until Vader throttles Antilles.
Then the escape Pod Launch Toshce Station back to Pricess Leia and Destruction of the Tantive
Then I will do Biggs Farewell Part 1 & Part 2
And Finally Vader and Bast and figure out an edit for getting to Mos-eisley
Quick concept Idea for something much later in the film…
