Something that bugs the hell out of me, and I’d love to see removed in a fanedit, is the ring of little spikes that pop up on Rey’s yellow lightsaber at the very end of the movie. I was watching this scene earlier and it occurred to me how incredibly easy it would be to remove them, by taking a small rectangle of footage directly above them and duplicating it over them (I made a mockup from a still frame, but I’m not sure how to upload it in here).
Is it only me that hates those little spikes? To me, they turn a perfectly fine lightsaber design into something from 2012 DeviantArt. Hell, if it doesn’t bother anyone else nearly as much as it bothers me, and if someone can send me the bit of footage and tell me what to do with my export settings (Premiere Pro CS6 for Mac), I’ll even do it myself.
Are you talking about the triangular vent/flap things on top? They don’t bother me from a visuals/design standpoint, I’m more confused by how they seem to be entering the beam of the saber without being destroyed.
I’m with you on this. So, the Saber beam pushes them open and closes them again? Seems a little far-fetched.
It bothers me from a visual design standpoint, but this also bugs me about it, yeah.
I’ll post progress updates, but the biggest stumbling block for me is going to be making sure my project settings and export settings are all correct so my footage will match up with the rest. I studied editing at uni but it’s been a while since I did any, and file formats and sizes etc are all very different now than they were back then.
