The Prequel Trilogy Revised - concept trailers released (WIP) — Page 25

I just watched the trailer of your revised Trilogy. I think it’s a really good idea, I like the way you improved the special effects. Don’t get me wrong, the original special effects were great for the time the Prequel Trilogy was made, but now they may have aged a bit, so I like the fact that you decided to fix the special effects and the CGI.

However, after reading the changes you have decided to make to the plot of the Trilogy as a whole, I can only disagree, and I honestly don’t think I’m the only one. Of course, I don’t want to try to convince you to modify the changes you made to the plot of the films, because everyone is free to have their own opinion and to have their own idea of what the Prequel Trilogy should be. However, I wanted to ask you if you ever thought about doing a version of this revisited Trilogy in which only the special effects are modernized, but without changing the plot or adding new scenes, to allow also the people who like the Prequel Trilogy as it is to be able to enjoy your modified and renewed special effects. Something like the Special Editions of the Original Trilogy.

+1 for improved VFX for all scenes and shots, though I respect that that would be extra work!

There will be a purist cut of the Trilogy akin to the Special Editions that will have minimum changes

Im looking to Alter as much as possible in the Revised Versions.

I don’t care what anyone says I don’t hate midiclorians and as corny as the chosen one part of the story is I don’t mind it.

I don’t hate them either, but I do feel like it works better with out them.

I know this might be asking too much but can you do a cut with them still in the film? you see I love the clone wars series and want your cut to line up with that plus I don’t hate them being part of the story I hate the rest of the issues with the films that’s it.

They will be in the Purist Cut probably

A quick comparison of the Intro between the Original and the Color Corrected HDR. These aren’t final, still just playing around and seeing what works best.

Wouldn’t restoring midichlorians and the prophecy just be a matter of adding back in a few scenes? Should be super easy with a few minutes in any decent video editing program for anyone who wants to do so and probably not worth asking for a new cut just for those things. FWIW I agree the trilogy works better with those concepts in as the Jedi treating The Force as a scientific field and interpreting the prophecy in a way that’s convenient for them is good for underscoring their arrogance.

Depends on if you can color match what I did. If you just go to the color wheel and move stuff, you’d be wrong. Splicing in the uncorrected scenes would stand out.

Looks great. I just thought of one thing that sticks out with cgi yoda in the phantom menace. he’s unhappy in scenes he normally wasn’t as the bad puppet is it possible to fix those scenes?

Is there a reason Yoda should be happy?

Here is an example of doing a filtered look. So basically, reverse the process. You want to remove filters, so use the Temp and Tint to remove color, rather than add it in. Its the same color theory, the results just vary cause you’re not pumping the color into the blacks and degrading your image. So if its got a teal look, then you want to remove blue and Green by pumping in Yellow and Pink. Or if its pink already like TPM originally was graded, then you would pump back in green. Etc. Your blacks you want black, and your whites you want white. Everything between is the “magic”.

Note- This video does not cover the HDR settings and is not a full representation of what I’ve done, just merely one side of it. The HDR stuff is easy to find videos on though too. Any minor adjustments to color I may have needed, I added in through 1 of the 6 layers the HDR settings let you control.

These color dials are much more responsive than the Tint and Temp, so you have less control in some ways.

I think the scene me and some other people are referring to is the final scenes of the movie the Victory celebration parade specifically.

Oh ok, Ill look into that and see what can be done.

Forgot about that. In that case, a version where it’s just SFX and color correction with no story changes sounds like a really good idea.

That’s be the Purist Cut

Is it possible to change dooku’s name pronunciation to dow koo that sounds better.

Wouldn’t that contradict all the EU like Clone Wars? And Idk about that, ive never even played with the voice ai tech so I don’t know what’s possible or not with those things

Yeah that would make it very confusing when watching TCW or listening to the audiobook novels. I don’t see a major problem with the pronunciation in the first place so I think that’s just a nightmare of a project without much benefit. But major props to anyone who could actually pull it off, I just don’t personally think it’s worth the time and effort.

I find Dow Koo to be cheesy. Dooku is just fine.

How is it impossible to fix it in the clone wars as well use the same technique to change the pronunciation it’s not like he’s in every episode or is mentioned in every episode.

I have Zero intent to edit anything other than some of the movies.
