I’m hoping it will be the final version so I can finally put this old edit to bed. And then back to OLD BEN and COAXIUM BEBOP, I swear
- 1080p
- Tone down the extra audio additions by like a third
- Tone down the sillier stuff (to tighten pacing, as well as being over some of it. No more extended elevator antics or excessive droid talking, for example)
- De/re-score parts of the film; let the film breathe a bit, make a more compelling tone throughout
- No more color grade, or at least a subtler one
If there’s anything about this edit I was most proud of, it was how much I was able to change Anakin/Obi/Padme’s motivations in the story, and I think that may have gotten lost in the all the other ambitious stuff I was cramming in and experimenting with. So I want to just focus on polishing presentation of those elements now, and not just keep throwing shit at the wall. Like I said, I’ll have a more holistic post at some point this month.
EDIT: Also I was never going to add TCW footage this
That all sounds pretty good. If I may I don’t think this movie needs an extensive overhaul, as opposed to especially episode 2, which imho would need a drastic restructuring. This one is already on its own, far better of a story than the other two were. So going at it in a subtle way and focussing on the characters sounds like the right approach.
