Well i'm having a few days break from the effects work and concentrating on the task of colour correction. I've almost finsihed the Tantive IV sequences and its looking pretty good. just a few more tweaks to do. Its really hard to get the right balance between shots as it keeps changing levels. i doubt i'm going to be able to get it exactly right, but it's still going to look better than that horrible blue tint the DVD has.

It seems almost appropriate that you would be able to see the tombstones there for that shot. It would be interesting to see if that shot could be widened or reframed in a way to include them. It would be cool to see the stones smoldering as well from some stormtrooper vandalism.
I think i may have found a way of adding a couple of shots of the tombstones. one before Owen & Beru are killed, and one after. I like the idea of the stormtrooper vandalism. Its going to take a lot of work so the shots may not appera in my finished version. but if they look good enough then they will.

Adywan, maybe this has already been answered, but are you planning to do anything about Vader's red eyes or the moments when we can see through his lenses to David Prowse inside?

I've got a few more shots left to finish, but Vaders red eyes have gone.
Heres a quick shot with the finished colour correction. I've managed to tweak 3PO too so he's now finally gold again.

And this one shows the Vader red eye elimination. Ignore the lightsabers because thats only an overlay added for colour tracking. The new sabers for that shot haven't been added yet. As you can see in the original (top one)the lightsaber colours have been swapped and Obi-Wan is holding vaders saber. Also there isn't any colour correction added yet to this shot.
