Looks good :) I'm not to positive about the sound effect at 0.29 when the shot switches to clouds, that sound effect is really WHAM in your face.. a little TOO wham if you ask me

Also, the image from 0.55 seems to be pretty bad on the left hand side, snowy white with a lot of dark .. euhh. bleeding ? you know when you see it :)

2 MINUTE PREVIEW CLIP -XVID- rapidshare


Looking good! Besides the color issues and new/brighter stars, I didn't notice much different, but I'm the kind of guy that needs to see things side by side to really see the differences (hence my suggestion of the Visual Comparison for ANHR). I get all excited about things that I think are differences just to find that they aren't different at all. For example, the movement of Hoth as the probe heads towards it. Has it always been like that?

I did notice that there's no more human arm attacking the Taun-taun, that's nice. I also liked that I think you turned down the wind as the Wampa is dragging Luke away. I always thought elements at that point sounded too much like 3PO's movement sound, which made the Wampa kind of sound like a droid.

I was sad to see no Taun-taun footprints and no activity inside Echo base as Han is entering, but I hope those are part of the "TEMP" too.

I don't think the sound is too bad, and I don't see the image quality problem either. What's the timecode on the video, instead of just the second count on your media player?

the audio is direct from the DVD. I won't be doing my audio mix until i've completed the video. Just shows how bad the 2004 DVD mix really is. lol

That shot you mentioned has always been dark on the left and is nothing to do with what i have done. theres not much i can do about that

I'm just doing a split screen version just for you doubleofive. it'll be posted within 30mins

Hey Adywan, I've got a suggestion about the cave scene on Dagobah.

(I'd comment on your clip, but I can't download it at the moment - firewall)

As Luke goes deeper into the cave, we can see that there is a stone arch there, like this is an old abandoned temple or something. There's probably some EU explanation for this, but for just a movie purist, it's a little confusing. Would you consider doing something about the arch?

Maybe remove it so that it looks like a natural cave?

Or maybe use the arch element to create a wider shot that shows us a hall with lots of arches? (kind of like the wider angle you gave us when Luke and Leia swing across the chasm)

The second option wouldn't really solve the confusion issue, but it would at least make it look like this is an "intentional mystery" and not some random set piece that got reused because they were cheap.

You know of the rebellion against the Empire?

That's wonderful Adywan. Thank you for accounting for my bad memory and inability to think about one thing while watching another.

:-D

I seem to remember two EU explanations for the cave. One was that a Dark Jedi was defeated in the cave and somehow his death tainted the place towards the Dark Side. Another was that the tree itself, being a living thing and therefore having the Force, was Darksided. Yoda used the Dark Side energies to negate his Light Side aura so that he remained undetectable through the Force. Nothing about a temple being there, according to the Wookieepedia.

I just noticed the arch my last viewing of ESB, and I like either of Erik's suggestions.

That looks great Ady, the colors are superb!

Tell me something now, why don't you use Rapidshare as well for the entire movies? Would be much easier than newsgroup don't you think?

Hey everyone. A few weeks back, I mentioned rearranging these very two minutes of the movie. I'm putting a link here to show the arrangement. This to me represents a stronger opening sequence. No more seeing the probe land twice and its reveal is pushed to the very end of the sequence instead at the middle. Its better watched with the sound down because all I did was rearrange stuff. I didn't fix the sound or anything to go with it.

I have no editing software worth a damn and for some reason Windows MovieMaker is making half the screen green. I don't know how to fix it. The point isn't how it looks but the edit itself. Let me know what you think.... especially you Adywan.

Looks great Adywan! Also, what with your colour correction and updating of visuals, having just watched ANHR the transistion to that ESBR clip was seamless; you're really tying the original trilogy together with aesthetic continuity.

Also, watching that clip, and thinking about visual similarity between the films, I was reminded of a point I meant to make earlier on the forum. In ANHR, you added flames to the escape pod entering the atmosphere of Tatooine. This also happens with the Probe Droid here in ESBR. So, I was just wondering if it would be possible to apply that effect to when Luke's X-Wing enters Dagobah's atmosphere at a very fast speed (crashing, really). If memory serves, there's one quick shot of the outside of the X-Wing entering the foggy atmosphere which could stand with having the flames added to it, and also maybe even around the window of the X-Wing when we are given an interior view of the X-Wing in this sequence.

Great stuff though! (oh, and I second the adding of Taun Taun foot prints and a busier-rebel-base-from-the-outside :) )

That got me thinking about the cave scene. I never could quite accept the "failure at the cave" despite what-ever reasons have been given in the past. So, played with idea of having a different face in the mask, to make the scene less cryptical as to its meaning.

How about Haydens face? NOPE!
Sebastians face? No, as Luke has never met him.
OBWans face? Possibilty, and open for debate.
Then it came to me!

To make scence of the scene, from the trilogy point of view when it was made, Darth Vaders mask should have had LEIA's face inside it!

-It would tell me Lukes training is being destracted by thoughts of his friends, at an early stage, hence Yodas later statement.

-Make Luke feel like he is on the path to the darkside, by destroying people who he loves by being the aggressor in combat.

-And ultimately, he would be able to destroy the only other Skywalker (the final hope) if he maintained his current way of thinking - that making the difference as to why he didnt need anymore training in Jedi, as he had felt it.

It would make total scence of the scene, to me, and give one of those wow, thats been changed for better moments, that i loved many times, during watching ANHrevisited.....

Or, if i want to be silly R2-D2s head, as he'd stuck by Luke through thick and thin, and also serverd his daddy in the clone wars!

I personaly don't think we see the probe land twice. My theory is that the 2nd impact is what Luke says it is, a meteorite. I might be mistaken but doen't someone else on Hoth mention all the meteorite activity in the system.

Ady, great wotk so far but the tauntauns facial movement still looks a little fake. A little head movement or more blinks might help.

Your brain just makes s**t up!

A fate worse than death? Having your head digitally replaced with that of Hayden Christensen!

Bobby Jay, actually its the exact same shot but from two different vantage points. It is meant to be the same landing. It backtracks slightly through time to show Luke's witnessing of it. I've always disliked that aspect since Star Wars has always been linear. But beyond that, I prefer the probe rising AFTER Luke gets bitch slapped.

How come you reversed the trigectory of the pod blast in the clip? Me thinks its because of the way the pod was launched?

Okay, from a Lucasfilm point of view, what about the atmosphere being so cold, as to giving an artica destortion to what your seeing (hence the blue tint!). Maybe there be strong enough artic winds in the atmosphere to blow a projectile 75 degrees in the other direction too!

Like, how many of you have viewed another planet to tell the difference anyway!

Myself, i just know sits right.

Keep up the work Ady as your on the right path!

Which is excellent, by the way, if you haven't seen me type that before! I'm hoping you'll do one for ESBR as well. Really fun to go through. :)

Thanks for the great clips, Ady. WOW, the difference between the starfields, again, is shocking. The 2004 footage reminds me of that cool episode of "Star Trek Voyager" where they went through an area of space that had no visible stars and it made the crew miserable.

Oh, and I may be alone on this, but I kinda like Luke's greener 2004 goggles better than the more natural color. Haha.

Much appreciated. Sorry for the quality of the video though, but it gets its point across

I just saw the preview, love the subtle changes like the rotating starfield and planet. It gives a fresh new feel to these scenes.

The split comparism once again really shows how messed up the picture on the 2004 dvds is. I'm glad I kept my old VHS and didn't waste any money on them.


Seriously, the best thing Lucasfilm could do, would be to hire Adywan as creative director for the HD release.
