Star Wars Episode I: Cloak Of Deception (Released) — Page 66

I was able to do a little bit of work on this tonight. I have a few AI Anakin lines to help with our 3PO retcon, but the setting of the Skywalker hovel does not at all lend itself to dialogue replacement.

The lines to mute would be, “Isn’t he great? He’s not finished yet.”
The replacement lines would be, “I’m fixing him up. He’s way better now!”

Not essential, as it works fine to simply skip over those lines.

Edit: Disregard; came back later and absolutely nailed it.

I looked into using the original footage, but restoring the Jedi – as in, changing them from invisible / partially invisible in a few frames to fully visible throughout, then adjusting the speed for a “normal” running speed.
There isn’t enough visual information in either the 35mm scan or the Blu-ray for the rotoscoping to work unfortunately.

Does anyone know of any good behind-the-scenes footage or photographs for this scene which show them running?

If so, I could rotoscope the footage, create a new composition with a corrected running speed, and share it with Hal9000 and any others who may want to use it.

I think the AI lines for COD/TPM are gonna be pretty darn seamless, so a big thank you to Jar Jar Bricks for providing those.

I was able to use the ‘Ultimate Edition’ TPM soundtrack (thank God) to rebuild the audio when Anakin introduces C-3PO along with some blanket foley sounds. I may use one other line if it sounds as good in context as I hope it will. And 3PO’s lines to R2 right before the podrace sequence that are already AI-generated in the current version will be updated to sound quite a bit better. I don’t think any viewer would suspect a thing. Net effect: 3PO is clearly depicted as having a nebulous backstory prior to Anakin finding and repairing him. And I think that’s pretty cool.

Watching through right now, and was wondering what you’d think of repurposing the Podrace announcer saying “It’s Skywalker!” From the ramp flight to right before/as he crosses the finish line. I always found their silence strange in that moment.

It’s not a bad idea, except that I’ve already got the V9 update finished and have been encoding the mp4 versions.
