Did an Audio edit mix for the Techdome / Repair Shop in the Lars Homestead today… Something I have wanted to do for a Long Time interestingly I used Audio from the Treadwell Droid sequence to restore Luke Blowing on R2 and Scratching at his panels amongst adding new sound for the Oil Bath and the liquid dripping off. So the Treadwell scene came in handy after all.
I thought about trying to add some back story in this part and the whole background story thing about the plans being received and stuff but I think what I will do as I was trying to restore a cut I made in a clever way… I think come the End Credits I think I may try to do Visuals of the Actors but with Cast info to restore a certain shot so It’s not lost and gone… Or thats the last idea on that. NO trying to force Backstory that idea is gone.
Blue Milk Deleted Scene will not be Included either.
I decided for the opening shot I will use ANH Revisited as I realised this actually changes the tragectory of the Tantive IV but put the original Planet matte if I then noise this up subtly I hope I can make it look similar to other footage. But whilst looking at this there is also a green laser missing for the first flash on the Tantive so I will be adding that and with sound if I have to. I will then revert to the Gout or Silver Screen edition for the next shot then because of the spilices I have made I will add the Red Laser the Tantive Fires (watch green laser become Red) but this will be sourced from ANH revisited version on the destruction shot. But there is definitely more image information in the Gout Explosion on the tantive Explosion but Revisited is not far off here.
Aside from that I will use the Missing Lasers from ANH Revisited Corridor Shoot out but make transparent, the Blue Hatch interior of the escape pod also and the window in the escape pod but masked off so the Window will have scan lines and be clear that it is a screen. I have the missing planet matte element for the “Hold your fire” shot too so that will be added. All in all with scene re-arrangements edits and an explosion added to the escape pod launch with a background matte for the tube. I think hopefully 100% fixed for that part or at least I think It will be a good version, or hope so anyway.
Oh my bad I don’t have the skill to fix the Tantive in the Hold on the escape pod launch so that one you will have to wait for some other day.
