Just sharing my to do list for the next test:
- A little more bouncy movement for the puppets in the wide shot (MR)
- Cut away from CU shot before the intense whispy dust blows across frame (krausfadr)
- Potentially remove the storyteller’s hand from the CU shot. (DMC) MR might help with this change.
- Un-reverse shot of kids turning their heads (Burbin)
Am I missing anything? Also, I actually applied a little grain to the puppets themselves, to try and help make the elements blend in a little more (especially in the CU shot, since it is naturally more grainy from being cropped), but I’m not sure if it is helping, so I might remove it on the next pass.
And if people wanted a green saber I could probably change the color easily. But I do agree that I think blue makes more sense.
Thanks again for the feedback and the positivity so far!
Do you need a nice usable 4K shot because I can provide you with one? (4K HDR or SDR)
I’ve gotten covered for this scene, but I may hit you up for other shots in the future. Thanks for the offer!
It looks amazing, RL! The only other thing I can think of is retiming the voiceover so that Rey looks over after the narrator says “Skywalker.” Oh, and maybe increase the volume on that first part, so that the audience can clearly hear “Skywalker” as well without it getting lost in the crowd noises? (“Huh? What? Skywalker? Skywalker where? Oh my god it’s a Luke puppet!”)
