any chance at least the dark/night scenes of book 1 and 2 can be updated quality wise? The stuff in daylight is totally looking OK.
It has tempted me a few times to replace some of the source footage in the worst-looking scenes, Book 2 night Tatooine comes to mind… But it would take very long as I would need to remake every single cut from scratch and I haven’t had the passion to do that yet. I’ve commented on some of the quality faults on the early Books a few times on this thread already, but I’d like to continue working on the ongoing story for now.
Speaking of… Few more scene demos to share!
First, here is another chunk of the scene with Din and the Armorer that I shared last time. Again, not final, I am sharing after just a first pass on production, not after spending a ton of time audio mixing yet. Since we’ve been talking about Boba’s storyline placement, I wanted to share how we are going to end up on Tatooine in Book 6… Din gets a mission
Next, I wanted to share more of this scene because I’ve got a great conversation made where Din talks to the Ugnaughts about the Resol’nare… But I’m still busy trying to fix some Disney production errors here. Just look at how obvious of a flub this is. They’re using two different takes, or cut part of the scene and covered it up with a Din dub (kind of like I’m doing… 0_0) but the Ugnaught’s hand placements are all wrong and out of whack! I’m trying to fix it by altering shots and angles, but just wanted to share because yes, sometimes the errors come from fan editors, but most of the time we’re working with stuff like this that looks like WE made a bad cut but it’s just baked into the original source material and we’re doing what we can to actually fix it. Major props to all the overworked editors in the real film industry though, it’s brutal out there… Not always their fault. Investor timeline problems. Editing error example
And finally, at the risk of sharing one that’s not even ready to be shared as a demo in terms of overall quality yet… it’s got some cool ideas that I want to show. I absolutely despise the original English voice lines dubbed over the aliens in this scene (as well as the content of the original scene itself) so I’ve taken the liberty to completely alter everything about this. I’ve used voice lines ripped from The Old Republic video game for the aliens and restructured this whole storyline to keep Boba involved. The gist of it is, he defeats the Pykes, but the Hutts start pushing into his territory. Meanwhile, Boba is staying busy hiring the Mandalorian clans to take bounty contracts, so the Night Owl clan is working a job for Boba as Din and Bo-Katan are stuck on Plazir-15 dealing with the imperial plotline. I love the transition from the Quarren vessel to Boba’s palace as well, so I wanted to share some of these ideas. Boba-Plazir tie-in
