Thank you for the kind words, everyone! I really truly appreciate it!
I always wondered if Anakin would have been a stronger character if he just spoke LESS in AOTC, that shot pretty much nails that!
Yeah, I would say he speaks quite a bit less in my version. There are just too many angry/hateful/whiney comments. Wherever I can, I’ve tried to rework the dialogue…but a lot of the time his face says “I’m pissed” so it has to be cut.
The cut after Mace says “we’re keepers of the peace, not soldiers” I found a tiny bit jarring for some reason. Maybe have the hologram noise start a sec before the cut? Just an idea.
Thank you for this. I wondered about that instance myself. I tried out your suggestion and, yep, I think that did the trick! Thanks for the idea!
By the way, I’m working my way towards a VERY rough workprint. I believe EVERY scene in the film has been reworked to some degree. There will also be some half-baked ideas left in…incomplete scenes/visual fx/sound fx/music…scenes that are almost like an animatic. Why? Well, I’m hoping for specific feedback- … I don’t want to invest all my time and energy into some of these scenes if it’s not working properly. It’ll still be a hot second before it’s ready but it’s getting there! 😉
As long as everyone’s ok with it, I’m gonna include everyone who’s commented here in the thread in the credits.
