KK650 just did a regrade of the film, and it looks pretty good. Check it out when you can, Hal.

Where did he share it?

I’m not sure where he is, but I found his recent work on a torrent site. I too was surprised to see that he’s still active after he departed. I’ll look more into it, but I do want us to maintain focus on helping Hal out.

I’ll take a look when I can, but I expect we’ll do better to take inspiration in generating one or more LUTs to apply to avoid quality degradation and issues with consistency across sources.

Here’s a comparison of his V2 from late March. I don’t know if there’s a newer version. Seems he made everything a little warmer; I like it. IMO this movie needs as many little psychological tricks to be more appealing as possible, and the warmth certainly helps that a bit.

Does anyone have a comparison of the scenes in Kylo’s quarters? Those shots are a pretty good way to determine whether the green tint has been reduced.

I II III IV V VI VII VIII IX

Can’t see the DO scene yet because the link was duplicated, but it’d be wonderful to see that brief scene in usable shape as a way to let at least a moment breathe.

The music test feels like it was legitimately intended for the scene. What’s the source? Was it indeed from the soundtrack? I haven’t really kept up with the nuances of this stuff this time around.

D-O scene:

The soundtrack i used was “The Battle Untolds” from the Battlefront II OST
moreover, they used part of this music to replace “Speeder Chase”.

I always get worried about disrupting continuity. I seem to get blamed for that a lot.

C’est bien fait mais je trouve que les couleurs sont un peu délavées.
Jedit: Oh and the fact that its in french.

thank you, indeed for the moment the CC is not yet ready but I am working to remove these horrible blue and green filters

Just cropping the D-O scene works pretty well! Do you guys feel like the quality of the deleted scene would feel out of place with the rest of the movie? I can’t really tell atm.

The colors already look much better!

Hmm, interesting musical connection. They used video game music for the speeder chase?

I like the DO scene! Did you do audio in 5.1? Could you perhaps make the audio assets available independently, for me to ensure it fits together with the rest of the movie? I might play with the music further or what have you.

Using the elements provided by LILLIAN, here’s the current shape of the ‘squeaky wheel’ moment. There’s an ugly shot that I hope to improve upon, and which can’t remain as is anyway because the widescreen matte is out of place. The AOTC score fades out over the scene rather than ending at a non-arbitrary point, which may be all right. Rey’s “okay” is culled from TLJ.

It ain’t much, but I was lucky to carve out even 25 minutes this weekend to sit down at my computer at all. (Believe it or not, I kneel at my computer nowadays because the baby wall and chair placement make it difficult to hop up instantly as I almost always need to be ready to do. Fan editing hurts my knees now.)

That okay fits perfectly, good job! Maybe some masking or a little more cropping can be done to hide the BB-8 puppetry a little more, but it looks good. I wonder if the music could continue right into the next track.

That does sound uncomfortable… Maybe you should get one of those standing desk set ups! Or put a pillow under your knees if you haven’t tried that already!

Guerilla editing. It’s on a pillow. Sad that my computer desk has to be in a corner of the living room, but we do what we gotta do to make it through each day. Don’t have kids so close together!

But yeah, the scene is sound, but needs those two shots to be given some magic.
And I’ll match up the music and play with extending it whenever I get a chance.

I think reworking the dialogue between Ren and Palpatine at the start would really improve on the plot,the characters and their motivations. I tried reconstructing the dialogue into its original form in the script and I think its very doable with what we have.

-I have died before, the dark side of the force is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural
-What are you?
-More than a clone, less than a man !
-What could you give me ?
-Everything… A new Empire,
The might of the final Order will soon be ready. I’m too weak and soon I will die…the fleet will be yours if you do as I ask…Bring the girl! Take the thrown! and become what your grand father Vader could not. You will rule the galaxy together as Emperor and Empress, A dyad in the force, a dyad of the dark side
-Who is she?
-Not who you think she is…

How would you go about sourcing that? Something along those lines would be ideal for my edit but I doubt it’d be feasible.

He says it a few times in the film, I’m sure it will fit in nicely 😉

Jedit: I made sure that all of the proposed dialogue can be sourced from already existing dialogue in the films.

Really? Guess I need to actually rewatch the whole movie…
