I was wondering if someone would remove Jar Jar from the Phantom menace using his techniques.
I really don't know what methods were used in that project; but whenever you make frame-to-frame changes (deletions, insertions or corrections), the technique is rotoscoping (a generic term today). The removal of Jarjar in the Prologue has been achieved thus far by background-restoration (mostly) and painting (occasionally).
Before I forget, someone previously suggested that this edit could be used to derive a Jarjar-less version of TPM. That isn't completely true, and I don't want TPM project editors to be misled: I am NOT removing Jarjar from EP1. I am removing Jarjar from scenes that are used in the Prologue. Of course, someone could use footage from the Prologue, but anyone who wants to completely remove Jarjar from EP1 will need to address the remaining footage using extensive and tedious painting methods. That itself could take 3-5 months.
This isn't a concern for me, because in my Star Wars "universe," there will be only four installments: The Prologue, Star Wars, The Empire Strikes Back, and Return of the Jedi.
"I for one don't like the PT at all but this may be watchable."
I certainly hope it will be watchable
