Problem is that you have the Sand Crawler backwards at the Lars homestead. We can clearly see that it is the same side we saw earlier.
Also, your comment about the SE Sand Crawler shot is confusing. That was filmed for the 97 SE. You seem to be implying that it was filmed in 1977 and that photo clearly is not how Peterson looked in 1977. I may have just misunderstood what you were intending to say here.
Oh No!
Did I really put it the wrong way around!!!
really sorry I was more wrapped up in trying to get the background sort of right… Back to the drawing board then but the idea is a solid one and it can be done again but correctly or better.
I thought that shot was an original shot in the Special edition?
If not then that places the Sandcrawler shot before the R2-D2 in the canyon and only the Matte Element to replace.
I want to get it right and thanks for pointing that out…
In regards to the binary sunset shot going in the sand crawler sequence… It could be the red version with the hill matches the theatrical Sandcrawler shot.
Thee Purple Version matches the Special edition shot more…
It seems that this shot of the suns would fix the jump cut as they carry R2-D2 after looking at it a bit more…
The Special edition shot of the Sand crawler better matches the canyon environment… Do you think they shot it under the same instruction and if you like by the story board book?
What is the story board for the Sandcrawler?
Do you think re-shoots of a model can count as doing it how it should of been done rather than using one that does not fit?
This shot looks like Rolling up to Lars Homestead… And we have never seen it.
Basically CGI is not an option image manipulation is ok.
