The production of Part 2 is much slower--only because it requires the most rotoscoping and intra-sequence cutting (re Jarjar). However, I think I've hammered out a few methods that will allow me to re-build desired footage. I've also learned that some sequences cannot be "saved" to reasonable standards due to motion parallax effects. There really is quite a bit of incidental and unnecessary camera movement in these movies that makes it difficult to rotoscope with good results; and if the results are not good, there is no point in using the edit.

Here are some of the results that will appear in the final cut. There is one sequence I still hope to include (the initial droid attack on Ben while he and Qui-gon are meeting up in the forest), but I am waiting for an HD source, which is needed to pull off the edit.
