Just to be sure, Burbin, are the newer color corrected deepfake clips meant to blend (mid-shot even) with the regular BluRay? Or to correspond with some global color correction applied to the source first?
Also, unrelated to anything else, where’s your username come from?
Lol it’s a nickname I’ve had since I was a kid, though I do enjoy a good whiskey.
I made the clips using your edit as the base and masking the deepfake footage over it, however exporting the render seems to change the colors somewhat, de default color settings made the whole thing green for some reason, in the newer clips I just altered the render settings and got a closer resemblance to the original footage. Same thing happened with the Vader’s Castle shot I shared on Ascendant btw, giving it a less red/more orange tint, couldn’t fix it changing the settings, but I like the look.
For the sake of messing around with the “to eadu scene!” with the latest changes, I want to share what RogueLeader did. The objective between the alteration of this scene does a couple of things:
1.) Jynn is not just here for the ride anymore, but is driving the plot now
2.) Jynn’s speech now has actual purpose
Personally I prefer the way it plays out originally, Cassian’s main objective is to “authenticate the story and then if possible find [Galen Erso]”. They believe he is critical to the development of this weapon, which plays into the orders to kill him. And on that note, I wouldn’t want to lose Draven’s reaction to “Jedah Destroyed”, it gives his orders more motivation (killing Galen, commanding a direct assault on Eadu). He feels “a decision needed to be made”.
Those cut lines are also where Cassian autheticates the story, “Weapon Confirmed. Jedah Destroyed”. He then asks if he proceeds with the secondary objective after learning Galen is on Eadu. Jynn’s “speech” is not meant to rally them to go to Eadu, she’s telling them her father is not the evil imperial they believe, it has a purpose as it is what makes Cassian hesitate on following his orders. The Rebels don’t know that Galen is working against the Empire, and neither does Cassian, since the message was destroyed on Jedah, he has to trust Jynn’s word.
I think if this change was merged with the “secret mission” change, it would muddle the motivations of everyone. The progression in the story makes more sense if “finding Galen” is given some importance from the beggining.
