Theres been a few modifications since i posted that clip. i couldn't get some of the shots (mainly the sky & the r2 heading off shots0 how i wanted them to look so i have reverted back to the originals for these shots. the matte for the Krayt dragon scene just wasn't working so that is now back to the original flip shot. I've slowed down the new sky that remains in a few shots and its looking much better now. the problem with a project like this is you can tend to get carried away with fixing stuff and its thanks to everyones help here that i can come back down to earth and see what is and isn't working.
I've also finally managed to enhance the Tantive IV shot when it gets hit. All those trials with new explosions etc and it turns out that just enhancing the original shot and reducing the smoke makes this shot finally work. Now, thanks to this, i have the first 40 minutes of the movie complete. I'm taking a week off from the effects work and i'm going to concentrate on the sound mix. I was thinking of posting the first 10 minutes or so of the completed version next week, but it all depends on how far i get with the sound mix.
