Well all, I'm working on another Dooku edit. People really seemed to like what I did before but I've seen some good ideas out there and thought I'd try them.

For one I tried to remove the backflip and simply use him jumping. I also saw someone took the Dooku fight and had added some music from Episode II to it and I thought "Well, that kinda does something interesting for the fight.

I did notice something about the fight... there is just something all around odd about it. It's placement is odd... it's tone is strange... it's on-again-off-again fighting style is REALLY weird...

I added the music but I'm not sure which I prefer more. The other videos I had layered "Entrance of Dooku" lightly underneath just to keep a subtle ambiance... but past that I never put music in the dooku battle.

Anyways, I also thought about that one moment right near the end where the two get push off from each-other...it creates quite the delay... so I have made an edit without those few seconds just to see if I could keep the action going.

Also, to heighten the sense of Anakin's Anger, I placed a couple yells into the fight. two after Dooku says "You have hate, you have anger. But you don't use them." one is a long roar, and the second comes right after it giving it a nice "Raaaa-AH!" sound... as if dooku's lines might have done something...made him tap into the anger....

Also, when he actually severs Dooku's head, I added another yell.

Also, I removed that shot I wasn't happy with right after Palpatines line "It is only natural." Instead, I placed a shot of anakin, and moved the next shot forward. I split the next shot in half. The first half you simply hear under the new angle, and the second half you see and hear.

You'll see...

Anyways let me know what you all think. With or without music? With or without the moans? I also inserted a shot of Palpatine before Dooku force pushes Obi-Wan just to offset it slightly. DOes it work? Any ideas with that?

Here is WITH new music:

Dooku V4 - WITH music

Here is the same thing without the new music:

Dooku V4 v2 - WITHOUT music

EDIT:

I've kinda decided I like it without the music. I think I've finally figured out what's so odd about the first half of the fight... it's not really a fight at all... it's just a way to get them to talk... to state a few things...how things have changed... a set up for the second half of the fight which is the REAL fight... having music over the first half seems... out of place...

I'm also wondering about cuting the line "I sense great fear in you Skywalker." I'm thinking of maybe just having it jump to him saying "You have hate...anger... but you don't use them." I think it will be more powerful that way.
