Hello, it’s time for another 2/22 update!
This marks two years officially on the project; and while it hasn’t been going quite as quickly as I’d have liked, I am very proud of what’s been accomplished so far.
WHAT WE’VE DONE
So, what’s been happening? At this point, I believe that all of the necessary dialogue and audio has been created and organized - over 100 new lines, by my last count! I’ve also begun assembling the overall cut. A few clips have already been posted to the thread and can be referenced below, including a newly tweaked version of the Hangar Scene that incorporates a dialogue change (“Save them all”) suggested by Rogue Leader:
- Leia’s Death
- Finn’s Legacy
- Hangar Confrontation (New version!)
In addition, several VFX shots have been completed (Shout out to Snooker, Maddog, and Dat_SW_Guy for their contributions!), new audio effects have been developed, and several of the more complex scenes already have rough edits in place.
WHAT WE’RE DOING
My current trajectory is to start piecing the film together scene by scene - making a lot of the smaller cuts, integrating new audio - basically all of the tedious detail work. I’m a few scenes in already, and it’s really exciting to see things finally start to take shape. I’ll have some more clips to show as the project starts to stitch itself together, so keep an eye out!
**WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE**
Just because I’m proceding with the main edit, doesn’t mean we’re entirely in the clear. The most important thing is, I still need help finishing two more VFX shots!!! They’re mostly done, but I need help with a bit of tracking, and a small paint out. If you’re familiar with After Effects, please considering reaching out! The edit will be significantly better with these shots.
The other thing I need help with: I’d love more Kijimi recordings - audio to support the idea that the citizens are protesting against the First Order occupiers. The more recordings we get, the better the sequence will sound. Check out the original post for more details. If you can, I would really appreciate more contributions!
Thank you to everyone for your feedback and interest in this project!
