I have to admit, for some reason I haven’t been checking your posts regularly, but man, I am IMPRESSED by some of the stuff you’ve done. You have been doing little things that I don’t think most editors have really considered, like changing Padmé’s expression in one seen, or create artificial depth of field in the shots of Geonosians to make it feel more real and to hide some of that early 2000’s CGI.
I may have overlooked some of your plans for the edit, but have you considered using voice AI to change Anakin’s dialogue, rather than totally redub him? I feel like total character redubs tend to break the illusion of fan edits, if you get what I mean.
But for real, you’re doing some pretty cool stuff with AOTC!
I somehow missed your post, RogueLeader! Thanks so much! I’m just trying things I’ve wanted to see so I’m glad others are enjoying it as well!
As far as AI voices, I’ve been testing it out in other videos. I’ve posted a few here and there. I did an early test of Anakin and it ended up sounding nothing like him so I used it as Owen Lars!😄
But I may try Anakin again. It can sometimes sound great but typically there are some terrible line reads as well so you have to try several iterations to get it closer to what you want.
I just put up another video of the deleted Padme’s Parents House scene:
If you wanna just see the scene itself, skip to around 12:26.
