Once you turn it back to into 1080P you will have a lot more scope for creative work if your final output is going to be 16x9 at 720x480
For example if your starting images are HD then you can zoom in on a characters face by a factor of at least two and still not get noticable pixelation at SD res, it will allow you to crop shots etc. without degradation in your final piece.
That would be great. I'll see if I can find a copy. The files would be very large, though, wouldn't they?

Thanks- I'll check it out
Giving away the ending all depends on what the ending is. Sometimes narrators don't know the whole story; they just carry you to a point near the end where something unexpected happens.
Scene 1
Several establishing shots of Mustafar, taken from RotS or stock footage of volcanoes. OS, in the distance, someone is moaning in pain. Dissolve to Anakin feebly clawing up a lava knoll, moaning louder now.
Anakin (VO): The third degree burns hurt, but not as bad as my pride. Carved up by Ben Kenobi and left like bacon on a skillet. How could I have let myself fall this low? It all started when ...
Scene 1 + a bijillion
Anakin (VO): And now I'm dying on this forsaken cinder of a world.
Palpatine arrives and saves him. Maybe show footage up to his arrival at the surgical center.
Anakin (VO): Looks like I'm not toast after all. But knowing this guy, I'm gonna wish I was.
I like this idea a lot. So often in these movies, the narrator is telling the story of how he got to where he was. But this way, the ending would still be a surprise. Sort of....
The dialogue has the right tone, too! This could be great
