You only have to push yourself if you want to 😃 Don’t feel obliged to anyone else.
No worries, this was something I always intended to do at some point.
How does the work process look like for the deleted scene:
- PS, load every frame into it and then use the copy stamp to get rid of the time stamp?
My workflow is still essentially what was done for the Leia deleted scene from page 7 of this thread: https://originaltrilogy.com/topic/The-Force-Awakens-The-Starlight-Project-WIP-WORKPRINT-V2-RELEASED/id/54912/page/7#1147760
This time I am using After Effects, however, and it’s quite a bit more robust. It’s nice to be able to add grain as a simple effect without re-rendering the whole thing, for example. The tracking of the still image elements remains tricky, with the automated tracker working only about half the time and requiring manual keyframe animation the other half.
