It is definately a good idea. I don't currently have Batman Begins on DVD, but I will check that out and see if there isn't any dialogue in that worth ripping. His character was quite simlar except... "evil." Almost COunt Dooku in a way.
As for your suggestions about the edit of the yoda sequence,I went back and played with that a bit. It's still not quite ready to be uploaded but I will soon. it's pretty much what you suggested. The close up of Yoda's face is longer, then you cut to the shot of Bail walking up behind Yoda. Then it goes to the blurry shot of the robotic arm and at the very end the dialogue "Excuse Me, Master Yoda." is heard over the video, which then brightens, and quickly cuts to Yoda Turning around (a shot which I always felt was faaaaar too long in the film).
This way it's like Bail is walking in, see's Yoda... but waits a moment to see if he'll notice his presence... and then his interruption doesn't interrupt what we see, but does cause Yoda to... fall out of the vision in a way.
I'll see about editing it further.
The birth sequence I'm still toying with. I re-edited it, but It's not ready to be posted yet. I have the shot of the establishing shot of the robot flying up, then it saying "We have to operate quickly" layered over where it would have said other things. Then the close-close up of the robot saying "We're loosing her."
You see Obi-Wan say "she's dying." then the shot of him walking over to the window ... it works pretty well but as mentioned, I have to re-use segments. I'ts because there is so little video, and so little of it is useable when removing leia.
I think I may restructure this further...and simply cut to Padme giving birth, and then after that, and she "dies" show the group standing outside watching her and the robot come up and say "we're loosing her" and Obi-Wan say "she's dying?" and then walk over to the window and such.
That way when she gives birth, we don't know she's going to die... and it isn't until after that she does die... but if I do that, I might have to insert something... something to extend it. I dunno. ANyone got any ideas?
And about the flipped image of 3PO flying the ship, I had kinda shirked it off because it looks like the shit could be piloted from eaither side... and on top of that, I can understand why they use it the way they do... Sorta like how in LOTR, usually Frodo and Sam are shown walking one direction across screen when they are going to mordor. And as they leave, they're going the opposite direction... it shows a change in the plot and the story and such visually so I can understand why they did it... but personally I felt it might be better this way.
Glad you all like it... I'm still toying with things so if anyone has any other ideas or suggestions keep it comming. I know this thread is not about my videos, but rather about the mustafar battle and such... but I felt that I could help, even if in only a little way or just by giving ideas...
As important as the battle is, the events that lead up to it and the climax are as well and it can become agrivating if not nausiating having to keep all this in mind when editing your videos...so that's why I'm focusing on these and letting you all focus on the battle itself which are well edited as well.
I'll post the update soon
