I think some of the facial movements need toning down a bit or it gets too cartoony, but the overall direction is really good and goes someway to solving a real sore spot with the original scene. As Mark Hamill stated the script calls for this amazing array of alien life, but the scene as it was delivered felt like a bad masquerade party, adding some expression to the creatures was something I tried before but was never happy with the results as the warps caused texture smearing because of the lo rez source material.
That is evident too in some of these, I'd suggest using a HD grab to do the warps and additions and then scale it back to DVD for the final result. That way the warps are less obvious and the detail lost in smearing is far less.
I'd like to see your additions toned down a bit, but no doubt every single person will have a different opinion on any and every clip you post, so don't worry too much and make it the way *you* want it.
Really great stuff though, relatively small and subtle tweaks is what I was hoping for when the SEs were announced, instead we got ham fisted CG injections, this is much closer to the type of effect additions I was hoping to see from them, and as seems to be the case these days, the fans are picking up the ball where Lucas droppped it.
