Oh, that’s fantastic news that you’re considering those changes! I wish I could help, but absolutely best of luck to you!
Here’s a good shot of the Hyperdrive room in the finale of The Clone Wars: https://ibb.co/7C86T7F
I don’t think id be able to remove the beams as they fight in front of them at one point. The actors aren’t really visible so it’d be hard to get mask on them. It was hard enough to mask the sabers in so you could tell how the battle was still kinda going.
Largely i think there will just be a lot of editing to the lighting of the room and on the actors. The sabers are all pretty much done for the end fight. So anything else will be finished a lil later in the work flow as im trying to plow through the movie front to back now. I’ve worked on large sections through out and have a good basis of what i want. So the slow polishing of things will take some time and still a lot of other things to do like tracking planets into other shots. Im looking to release the first 10 min soon though. With out new audio voices though or any new music, edits to pacing, or the like. Just a straight scene for scene with the original unaltered movie to compare against.
Id list the scenes still to be done, but itd be too much to list. Too much detail to have to explain. The intro for example has so much stuff. From a new planet, with lightning, aurora, moving clouds, city lights. Planet tracked in with camera movement. New engine glow to ships. Window reflections and smudges. Recoloring. New lights on interior of ship. Docking bay lights. A light that washes over the ship as it enters the docking bay. Engine glows that kick off when the ship is entering and reverse thrusters kick on. Heat/air turbulence around engine thrusters. Droid eyes glowing. And this is just the first minute. Im sure i forgot something too haha
