If the Holiday Special route doesn't work, isn't there a wide shot of a Bith player in the Max Rebo band in ROTJ: SE? Maybe you could clone him like you did those TIE fighters?
Originally posted by: sunday256 Well the Holiday Special isn't the same cantina. It's a different one from what I can tell. According to Star Wars Galaxies, the most likely spot would be in an alcove to the left (from the front entrance ...almost directly across from Wuher...but as to the accuracy of that I can't for sure say.
Although the tech schematic which I suppose is as about canon as it gets? says it's on the right side:
I only need the band from the holiday special anyway & not the surroundings.. The place they put the band in the schematics is probably the best place they could have said the band was because they could explain away why you can't see them, but i still think they need to be added in the shot where you should see them
Well i've just finished all 132 shots of R2 and his dome light now matches the rest of the saga more closely. Took me a lot less than i thought it would, but a few sleepless nights. Just started tweaking the console displays when they break into the control room on the Death Star. Just small tweaking here though. Too difficult to completely replace the displays but i'm tweaking the colour on them a bit so they are no longer black & white. Then the next thing is to add the cantina band and then a new dogfight sequence for the Final Battle.
Forgive me if this has already been asked, but on the Tantive after the Stormtroopers stun Leia the one that's standing directly over her doesn't have the stripes on the sides of his helmet. Is that something you have fixed or plan on fixing?

do you have any idea how hard that is? that is a depth tracking shot across all three planes, horizontal vertical and depth, not including a twist in perspective on the helmet. that would take an inordinate amount of time to sort in comparison to the payoff.

No, I didn't know how hard it was to do something like that which is why I asked. Adywan is doing so many other incredible things with his edit that I didn't know if that was something he was going to tackle or not. It's certainly not a big deal to me, but I was just curious that's all.

This was attempted but it is way to hard to track it precisely enough to be an acceptable fix. it may look like a simple fix compared to what i have achieved so far but believe me this is hell of a lot harder.

Totally understand, Adywan. It's just one of those minor inconsistencies that I noticed and thought I'd ask you about. With everything else you're doing, that's hardly something that would even matter to most people. Keep up the good work and I'll try to Paypal you something here in the next couple of weeks.

OK, just a quick update with a bit of good news. I've worked my ass off this week and got hell of a lot done. the good news is that i now only have just under 15 minutes of footage left to finish (apart from the credits) and then its on to the audio. That should work out to hitting the November deadline if no problems arise. I still definitely need this last hard drive though. I'm still £40 short. The FX work for the Death Star battle is eating up the hard drive space. One shot had almost 70 layers which resulted in a huge file. But it looks great. Just think Jedi battle and that'll give you some idea. With all this rolling along there could well be a brand new trailer coming out real soon
OMG, I'm more excited about this edit than any movie coming out soon, except maybe Indy 4, but I don't want to get my hopes up about that movie, speaking of which did you guys see the last preview where Geroge Lucas was wearing the "Han shot first" t-shirt???

That's great news! Hopefully you won't have another catastrophic hard drive failure in the next 3 1/2 months (fingers crossed)...

i've now reached the goal. Transfered the funds and just waiting for them to clear. i can't thank everyone that donated enough.I won't have to worry about running out of space and compromising on any shots now. I'm just finishing a few new shots for the Death star battle then i'm going to spend a few days concentrating on the trailer before getting stuck back into things after a few days rest break.
