You guys have to trust me when I say that this shot is the ONLY shot that even remotely looks any good when used in the film. And it’s still not that great anyway.
(I am however strongly opposed to the idea of using video game footage)
This whole Mustafar thing is starting to border on fan film for me, personally. We have repurposed footage from Rogue One, National Geographic, and Battlefront 2, but in the end the scene is still going to be as rushed, choppy, and poorly explained as it was in the theater. If anything, it might be getting more confusing to follow (we’re currently at three very different establishing shots). None of Hal’s edits have felt this “fan film” before, and that’s not even accounting for all the other crazy special effects stuff that’s going into this fan edit.
I agree with you but the only reason we have to get all of these differing sources is because TROS lacked the much needed deleted scenes. I did a second pass on the footage just to see what color correction could do… looks decent still way too many First Order troops IMO but if the footage was used I don’t think it would distract too much.
