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?
This also pulled me out of the story a bit. Maybe a “Part I” and “Part II” Title card respectively?
That would signal to the viewer that these are two separate stories with a common theme and prevent that “wait, what happened?” moment when the episode switch happens.
I’ve managed to pull a few scenes from other episodes to cover this transition. It’s not perfect but it’s much better than it was before! I’ve used a shot of the ghost in space, Hera saying they’ve got coordinates, reversed a shot to get one of the phantom leaving the ghost, and then we cut to the phantom being chased by TIE fighters
Other than that, I really like what I have seen so far. The new intro is way better than the old one, not to say the old one was bad.
I agree, the other wasn’t bad but after a few touch ups to the logo coming on screen and choosing some music that is stylistically more appropriate to the show it’s a definite improvement!
On a side note,
I should be releasing that Familial Bonding change and hopefully another visual improvement to the show soon!
I’m trying to triple the FPS of rebels to take it from about 24ish to 70ish FPS using AI Frame Interpolation. From what I’ve experimented with, the non interpolated footage looks like it’s lagging so I think that’s a good sign hahaha.
