and then there’s others where there’s dialogue and editing choices that spoonfeed everything, like Rey’s experience at the vision, where we hear her voiceover explanation at the very same time we are watching it, and it makes it feel cheaper as a result.
I realize this may not be the right thread to discuss this, but why exactly didn’t the main editors here remove that voice over from the vision? I can’t imagine it would be that hard to do, and it would improve the scene a lot. The only line Rey needs to say is “I’ve never felt so alone.”
I’m cutting all of the Cave Vision voiceover from mine; it’s not as easy as click-and-delete because the dialogue track echoes across the other channels, but I’ve done some rejiggering and I think it works. If you do still hear anything, it’s not comprehensible, and at worst sounds like generic spooky Force whispers.
When can we expect an ETA for the edit? 😃
It completely depends on whether I’m able to get help on those last few shots. The rest of the edit is good to go from my end, other than watching it back again and doing any final smoothing.
