I've been thinking about this and i wanted to do something completely different for this edit. I'm going to be painting an original poster for the cover artwork instead of using artwork already out there, but it will be based on the original OT poster art. I'm more than likely going to have the spines match the official releases so they fit in with whats out there. I'm planning the covers now and have done a few sketches but i haven't nailed the design just yet. I'm going to be leaving the painting side of things until after X-mas when all the kids pressies are out of the way and i've got more room to work.
I'm just completing the cantina sequence and i'm really pleased with the result. Most of the creatures now have facial movements and my favourite of them all is Greedo. I've enhanced his mouth so he looks like he's actually saying his dialogue now, well as best as i can anyway. He has more muscular facial movements, looks more aggresive and now blinks. As soon as i have this sequence finished then i will be rendering the montage for all those that have donated and then i'll send you the link. Sorry its been a bit later than i promised guys but after i started the cantina and Greedo i really wanted to be able to include a few shots of this for you and probably the whole Greedo sequence if possible..
Things seem to be flying along since i got the new hard drive. Having more this drive has given me the oportunity to experiment on effects without having to worry about running out of space for the edit too soon. I've also almost finished the colour correction for the whole film. Some scenes are just impossible to change the colour balance back to what it originally should have looked like because they are just so messed up that the blue cast must have been added to hide these flaws, but luckily these scenes look ok with just a minor tweak. I've brightened a few sequences because they were just way too dark on the DVDs but it has brought out some minor video noise. But to be honest i can do with a bit of grain if it means i can see the scene without having to turn the brightness up on the TV.
Oh well, back to work
