Hi everyone,
I really don't want to disappoint you guys, but I've basically failed. I'm not going to be able to deliver this on the 25th. I've actually had literally no time to work on this at all this entire month. I haven't even had time to visit this thread at all.
All I can say is that I'm really sorry and except for one hitch, everything is set to roll. It's just a matter of putting in the time to make it happen. The one hitch is that we can't figure out a convincing way for Dooku to remove Anakin from the duel without using force-lightning. I've talked with several people and nothing has worked. Keeping the force lightning would introduce a multitude of plot holes later in the sequence, so that isn't an option. I'm stumped on this one.
I guess all I can say is to forget about it, and then one day (could be a month from now, could be 4 months), I'll let you know that I finally did it. I'm not going to set and break another deadline. I can't give you an unfinished product. But "Shroud of the Dark Side" very much exists.
I don't want to release the rough cut because it's chock full of errors and I want you to see this the right way. But one person on this forum has actually seen the rough cut of this movie. He said, "Your work is so superior to the original edit that you cannot lose now."
After I release the movie, I'll let you know the reason it took so long- I think you'll understand.
Regards,

About how to take Anikan out of the fight without force lightning, have you tried painting out the lightning and make it look like a force throw? I know you would have to remove the smoke coming off Anikan in the next few shots, but let me know what you think.
