I'm actually getting a bit more ambitious as I get back to grips with Lightwave.

I did a gunstar from the last starfight 4 years ago but haven't touched lightwave since. so it's taking a bit of head scratching.

shots sketched in so far.

1./ liftoff from yavin. new shot replacing the god awful close in thing from the SE's with a long range shot of ships lifting off into the sky from the temple. I am also toying with putting in the falcon lifting off and going in a different direction to the fighters. ie this is when Han and Chewie bail before coming back to save the day.

2./ the two shot I've already announced, both angles. because you just can't slow down the film sufficiently to provide enough frames.

I also noticed a continuity error with the SE shot anyway. the Death Star is having to go round Yavin's gas giant to get a clear shot right? well how come in the panning shot, in the background is Yavin IV. and when we pan 180 degrees, there's the death star. hold the phone, that means they already have a straight shot, why haven't they fired? so my shot will show the death star and maybe a peak of Yavin IV from round the back of the gas giant.

3./ a few TIE's during the falcon TIE escape duel.


4./ certain death star battle shots are going to get spruced up as well. there are a number of original movie static shots where ships could be inserted into the background to add depth and action.

5./ the intial dive on the death star has surprisingly few fighters in view. more are going to be added in the background.
