Are you gonna do the duel of the fates Exegol thing you talked about, I had a pretty solid concept test for it awhile back
No, and not because it’s a poor mock-up or anything. It just feels weird in context, and works better as a clip. We hear these guys chant several times and they don’t sound like that other times. I just don’t think it really works and am leaving it out.
For the LUTs I will try bringing them down and finding a middle ground, for sure. I wanted everyone to see the main LUT applied at 100% first.
For Exagol they look great, everywhere else they are almost too much. It’s like we swung the pendulum from being too blue to being too red. You can see this especially in Kylo’s face, it almost looks like he’s sunburnt. I wonder what it would look like if the intensity was just brought down slightly. Another issue with the LUTs is that the movie becomes incredibly bright, almost too much.
Hold up, what?!
The way you described it is NOT how it looks when I imported the LUT.
Hal, I can’t view your workprint at the current time, but is this how you’ve set yours:
(This is in FCPX)
Yes, that’s right, except I didn’t use the alt LUT. Was that decided as being superior?
On a different note, Kylo’s new vision when he touches vader’s.
I like the addition of Luke, but I think a different shot, like of him holding the Anakin’s saber in a close up would work better than Kylo stabbing him. Honestly I prefer the one from the earlier workprint. It still works and I can see how Luke is important to Kylo’s journey, but I prefer the other one.
I’ll take a look and see about it.
Off-topic, but to tie the Sith Whispers to the Wayfinder earlier, perhaps at the beginning of the film, you could have Kylo hear the whispers after he’s killed all the natives, which prompts him to turn his head quickly around. It would also tie in nicely with the “chasing whispers” part of the crawl.
It’s more important to tie those whispers to the dagger itself, not the Wayfinder so much. And there are some other whispers already present when each person finds the Wayfinder.
Also, Hal, I noticed in the workprint that the scene when Chewie is introduced to Hux and Pryde in the restructured Chewie reveal is now missing. Did I miss something? 🤔
The scene didn’t make any sense or serve any purpose being moved that late so I removed it.
And, Chase, the LUTs are being evaluated like everything else. It’s easy to dial them back and I wanted people to see them and see how they work. I agree that they’re a lot of red and I may not have seen that as clearly if I hadn’t laid the LUT in at 100% to start with. No need to get edgy about that.
And about the 16 hours thing… It unfortunately is about the only real reason the characters keep pushing on so relentlessly, not going back to base and not staying to reflect for any length of time on Ach-To, etc.
