I made the opening crawl using an app so I didn’t have any control over the angle. I thought it looked the most accurate of the crawl creators I could find though.
I also have no idea how to pan down from the crawl to space, especially since most Clone Wars episodes do not begin in space. But I definitely would’ve like to have smoother transitions from the crawls if I was more skilled in editing. Smudger9’s edits are really good with space transitions but I’m nowhere near as skilled of editor as he is lol
Ah, ok. Of course you don´t have to be able to edit like smudger9 😄 Step by step.
I had to cut a lot of footage because during that fight a lot of dialogue references the clone-traitor plot from the original episode, which wouldn’t make sense here since I cut that storyline. Ventress’s floor thing was cut kind of weirdly originally too, but it was broken up by the clone scenes I removed. I also cut the silly sequence where Ventress throws books at Obi-Wan and Anakin (like that’s going to do anything to a Jedi lol).
Mh, fair enough. Didn´t recall the episode exactly, but seems to be a tough one for editing.
Sorry, but I didn’t edit the main content of those episodes. The council meeting scene doesn’t exist unfortunately, or else I would put it in there.
Unbelievable 😄 What did they thought by writing this.
This is just another problem with transitioning between episodes without the narration. Obi-Wan’s call for help is never shown in the episodes, only mentioned in narration so I couldn’t use it. I’ve noticed that this show is a bit hard to edit into films because major plot points are introduced via opening narration pretty often.
Same as above 😄
That’s where the original episode ended. I think I just need a fade to black and then maybe cut to the Republic fleet emerging from hyperspace outside Geonosis for a better transition.
That sounds good, audio fade out is also important. It ends abruptly.
I’d probably just add a fade-to-black here. I should have utilized the fade-to-black technique more when making this film, because it works well to show a passage of time and makes for an easier transition between episodes. The following installments are better about episode transitions I believe.
thumbs up
I use iMovie on my iPad, which definitely isn’t the best editing software. It was only allowing me the 720p .MOV option so I had to go with that. Though I would’ve liked to render in higher quality, it just wasn’t really an option with my software.
kind of sad, but not your fault. You´re not obligated to purchase a video editor.
Tomorrow i´ll be watching epsiode II and provide my impressions.
