Ok…you asked!?

But first a disclaimer.

The shot doesn’t need it. Even if you do humour me, NOONE will notice due to the composition of the shot, the audiences attention/site line is inherently drawn to the centre of said shot…

But

Going back to the Finn shoot down sequence on Crait.

Just before we start getting the close up shots, we get a wide aerial shot of Finn’s speeder attempting to get ‘up stream’ in the Battering Ram canon beam.

At the top of the shot you have the AT-AT’s?

I thought it might be fun to animate the AT-At to the right of the canon and have it’s ‘head’ start to turn in to the left (it’s right) as if it’s notices Finn’s trajectory and so starts to look/position itself in order to be able to take aim at Finn as he approaches…setting up the shootdown? 😬

It’s so minor that really it’s just detail for details sake and as i mentioned above, its likely just overkill as the effort involved probably isnt worth the time, considering its such a tiny detail.

99 percent of people genuinely wont notice it anyway due to the primary action of the shot occurring centre frame and because the size of the ATAT in the shot is so relatively small?

But…i thought it was a fun thing to add, and considering some of the other stuff you’ve pulled off on this project I figured it was at least within your capabilities 😀

Fell free to laugh the suggestion off…but at least its out there for you in case it does interest you?
