Oops! I did say my sarcasm gets me in trouble. My apologies guys.
I just felt things were bubbling up between some of you so I thought I’d address it with some banter. I guess it gets lost in text but I’m glad people felt the same. The word “arguing my point” really doesn’t have to be til the death. If I’ve learned one thing from editing star wars, it’s that people can have completely different opinions and still get on. Happy to see it’s got us back on track though.
Here’s where I’m at:
I’ve remasked the T-Minus 5 windows as they had a slight round edge that I wasn’t happy with. They are now square to match the Falcon shape and is finished.
Crackling Saber is on hold as I’m becoming way too picky about the effect and it seriously changes under a different light. Sometimes the particles animate perfectly, while in other shots they seem to have an energy flow. No idea why, They all have the same settings but I’ll figure it out once I get more time.
Not sure if you’re going with the Sith Red Lightning? but those scenes are looking incredible but again, my perfectionist ways are picking holes in everything I do.
@sherlockpotter Lightsabers fizzling out near the end of the Death Star battle, and after Palpatine’s defeat (In development, I think? I remember seeing a test clip, possibly done by MR?) Is finished. My next video will be on this scene so I’ll upload some test shots once I release that tutorial.
@Burbin I forgot to bring it up a way back, but didn’t MR’s shot of Vader’s Fortress in the background still have the ‘lights’ on? I couldn’t even tell but if it does I’m sure it’ll be an easy fix for this cut. I’m personally leaving them on to show the Mustafarians still using it. Didn’t it use to be a monastery or something?
@NeverarGreat Eventually I hope to do the timecode removal of the Klyo scene and several others from TFA, but the time and effort required are quite daunting. If you ever do this please let me know. I was going to attempt it when I revisit the other movies so that would be a load off if you manage it. Thanks! EDIT: DUDE, Those other clips that look awesome. Nice work
@sherlockpotter Potentially recoloring Ahch-To to go from nighttime to sunrise? (Discussion – I don’t think we decided one way or the other. I personally like the idea though. Plus, if the sky becomes purple at sunrise, it would symbolize Leia’s new lightsaber color.) This is a beautiful idea. I’d love to see this happen.
