I think my main feedback for the Familial Bonding episode is the jump between ending the Fighter Flight arc (which I like as is by the way) and moving into the Phantom scene is a bit jumpy. That’s where the episodes naturally break, but I don’t know if there’s some transitional shots that can be recovered from somewhere to link the two by showing the Phantom being launched or something in between? Maybe some kind of “onto the next mission” voice over?
The only other part I feel is jumpy is the very beginning of the first episode cutting to Ezra on the rooftop, although I’m not sure what/if anything can be done about that.
Overall I think you’ve done fantastic work g00b, I hope I don’t come across overly critical. I’m looking forward to each V4 episode as they come out.
Thanks for the feedback Daiyus! All feedback is welcomed by me. It helps make the edit better and helps me grow as an editor. You also don’t come across overly critical!
I agree that it can jump sometimes (especially these episodes BC Ive essentially cut half of them!) I thought about a bridging scene or something but I couldn’t find anything worthwhile so settled for a wipe. Wipes tend to signal a passage of time in Rebels, so that’s good enough for now I guess.
Ive also changed that cut with Ezra on the roof a few times 😂. Originally, it was a fade but because of cutting I’ve got so little footage there it wasn’t worth it. Eventually and reluctantly, I chose to just have a regular cut so you can see the grand inquisitor.
For both cuts, I’d love any ideas/bridging scene ideas, to use to smooth them out.
