I like the idea of the captain Hux, but it sounds tacked on for me with headphones at least. Maybe the captain part is too loud? Or some of the background noise could be amped up some potentially.
Agreed. I wonder if it’s a problem with the pitch? Like, his voice should be lower on “Captain” and go up on “Hux”? Right now it’s the opposite - starting higher on “Captain” and jumping down on “Hux.” I wonder if a bit of autotune could (ironically) make that feel more natural.
Since the conference scene is being brought up again, I mentioned this a couple times already, though quite some time ago… I still really feel that Pryde’s line about ‘conjuring star destroyers’ directly contradicts what this edit attempts to imply about the Final Order’s resources. If we want a hypothetical first time audience to believe these ships are a stashed remnant of the Empire, it seems weird not to cut it.
Oh now that’s interesting. You could probably do a pretty simple trim just from “They sound like a cult, conjurers and soothsayers.”…“The Sith Fleet will increase our resources ten thousand fold.” The only potential problem would be covering up the cut, since there’s only a focus pull there now. There’s a shot in the BTS of some random officers at the conference table; although I think someone walks across the frame, so I’m not sure how much of that would actually be usable.
Seems unlikely due to the crackly saber which has a handful of sequences remaining.
I could put out a workprint that would be viewable, omitting changes that aren’t complete.Honestly I think the wait is worth it, we all want whats best for the edit so it can be in the best shape possible.
Just going to chime in and say that I second this. I’d rather wait a bit longer and have a beautiful, fully-realized edit than spit out something half-finished. There’s always V1 to hold us over in the meantime; but I’m confident V2 (and Rey Nobody!) will be worth the wait.
