Another Interesting Discovery…
In order to restore Biggs Farewell Part 2 I need an establishing shot to make that work… So I stole the Landspeeder from the Alternate Ben’s Hut image…
Now I need to do this a bit better but to illustrate what needs to happen to restore the scene and also uncanny that it lines up pretty much exactly at the right angle and so on. So was Ben’s Hut alternate removed because they needed the Landspeeder element / image to put into this shot?
Hence why we got a different angle which had issues like the Boosters and back panels missing almost if you like a rushed shot. Or it’s the other way around the alternate for Ben’s hut was created at a late stage as this scene fell away and the improved establishing shot of Ben’s hut simply never made it in to the film?
Just as another thought Luke and Biggs Turning the corner of Tosche station could be composited in to this frame to make it come to like even more 😃 as an extra touch…
Anyway looking at this part of the film some more I noticed this.
I can see it is vertically stretched a bit… But I never knew it was a Matte shot
So as an idea I re-sized and thought about softening the edge along the sand and trying to get rid of all the magenta… A bit Better I think. But it’s something I probably wont be able to do perhaps I don’t know this is just a still.
I am not sure how to Handle the missing Sandcrawler Matte element just yet…
This angle would make more sense before “we’ve stopped” said by C3-P0 and the odd music cut so I think that the Sandcrawler shot coming over the hill is a moved shot. It would be interesting to finish that angle off with the model inserted on top of the tracks…
Although this concept is rough… What a shot it could be!!! 😃 Got it to a near passable state I really like this for an alternative to the sandcrawler shot replacing the weird music edit.
I wonder if this would pair up with Ghost Luke in the Door that was removed… We hear the Sandcrawler pull up then cut to the Matte painting then to inside the sandcrawler. Seems to me it’s a small sequence perhaps.
