That would quite possibly be the COOLEST THING EVER!

You know of the rebellion against the Empire?

Everything looks really great, Adywan. You might want to add some vertical stretch to the background of the R2 scene to simulate a de-focused anamorphic lens.

Absolutely! I'd love to see these guys all collaborate on the greatest version of Star Wars anyone has ever seen.

yeh, got it. Sent a reply

Just a small very quick update; The interiors of the death star are now all metal grey and no longer that horrible oversaturated blue on the 2004 DVDs. It has created some minor video noise in some parts but i can live with that just to get the death star to look metallic once again. It does look a whole lot better too. Ever so slightly darker now too but it does give it a better overall look especially during the dual.

The opening tractor beam shot has also slightly changed. Thanks to the suggestion by Sluggo, to make the matte look less static i have added a couple of troopers on the bridge lower down the chasm and then as they walk off the bridge retracts.

Also i may have finally been able to have Obi-Wan say " I wanted you to have this when you were old enough..." instead of "you're father wanted you to have this..." when giving Luke his saber. I managed to get hold of both "Smiley" series that Alec Guinness did for the BBC and i've done a few tests and its looking promising, so fingers crossed.

Ok, that's it and now back to work for me.

Looking very cool, especially with the added storm troppers, it gives scale to a once static painting.

Question: The matte, though finally corrected could use a touch up in the highlight range. Would adding an overlay color layer in After Effects make this possible?

Here's an example that I did in Photoshop CS2

Just a simple overlay mask using similar colors of green, blue, white, and red at an opacity level of 75% so it doesn't pop.

Food for thought for an otherwise professional job! Do you think it's workable?

Do you mean the tractor beam glow? If so the beam actually fades in and out throughout the shot. the frame i posted was one of the first few frames. heres a shot from a few frames later

Hasn't this already been done using Star Wars audio? I forget who did it, but in someone's edit, they just took the the "I" from "I was once a Jedi Knight, the same as your father", and blended it with "wanted you to have this..." It was real easy and sounded almost perfect from what I remember.

I think the other thing that this does is make the DS a bit more dangerous for our heroes to be sneaking around in. They could be spotted at any time.

This will be such a trip to watch. This shot (and a few others I have suggested) has existed in my head for a while. It will be rather surreal to actually watch these at home on the big screen. I suppose the walking troopers and the retracting bridge will have some sound effects? That's what make this edit, and DE's and Tellan's edits so great is the boldness to say, "I've made a lot of special modifications myself...so if you will just get on board, we'll get out of here."

Some bad news guys. My PC has just just died. Earlier this moring there was a loud bang and the electricity trip switches went off. upon restoring power i attempted to restart the PC but nothing. I'm preying that its just my power supply thats gone. The ssmell was pretty bad but i can't identify where it originated from. It looks like there is power getting to the board because the light on the Lan port is on but it just refusues to switch on. Things are pointing to the power supply but i'm just preying that it hasn't damaged anything else. Had to pinch the wifes laptop and come on here to let you guys know i may be offline for a while until i get things sorted.

It's blody typical because i was in the process of doing a test render of the new Obi-Wan / Vader dual with completed re-rotoscoped sabers. I've been getting so much done recently too.

Anyway, i'm off to try and see if my local computer store has a power supply ( they're pretty crap so i'm not getting my hopes up)

I know, it's getting pretty bad. I still believe that its a consipricy by Lucasfilm to stop us finishing our projects.

Anyway, good news is that it was the power supply that had blown. Just performing an indepth disc scan now but things seem to be ok. So everythings back on track now.
