Star Wars Episode IV A New Hope The Lost Final Cut (* unfinished project *)

Ok then... I'll see how that goes, but umm.... ok.

Sounds interesting if you can pull off getting any alternate footage and deleted scenes from the OT to be acceptable quality for reinsertion.

Have you done any CG work before?

Sounds more like the Mega Bastardized Edition. Seriously all you are going to do is to fuck up a real nice edit...

Maybe you could add some CGI to the Puggo Grande...

I agree it would be nearly impossible to add in the deleted scenes and such while still being something enjoyable to watch, but you don't have to be such a dick about it. Been to FE lately (or ever?) That place is ripping at the seams with amazingly crappy edits, all of which the editors feel that they have made "improvements" with. So what? If they had a good time editing it, learned a few things about video editing software in the process, then what is the harm? Don't download them if you don't want to see them. Why the need to knock someone down for no reason? Let this guy try it out, maybe he'll find it impossible to do and give up on it, or maybe he'll impress the hell out of everyone and achieve something amazing. Funny to read back at the beginning of Trooperman's and Adywan's edits threads and see the comments they got.

This guy could be a 13 year old kid, or a professional editor working for LFL who is sick of the way George controls things and wants to see what he can do on his own for all you know (though incredibly unlikely). If he is the later your words are not going to mean a thing to him, if he is the former, you are going to discourage the hell out of him and very likely drive him away from this community.

This definitely sounds interesting.

Let's not forget, when Adywan first showed up here, nobody knew who he was. He was just some "nobody" who wanted to basically redo what Darth Editous had done.

I chucked this concept art (its really bad I know) togethre in 2 mins for the lost opening shot. I envision a long shot seen through the binoculars and we see the space battle above.

 

 

It looks bad cause i have lost photoshop - i need to reinstall.

interesting project. I can't see the picture you posted because its too small but it looks like you have used the opening sequence footage from ANH.  For the opening shot i personally wouldn't use the existing footage for the binoculars because the angle would be all wrong. If you took a frame of one of the stardestroyers in ESB when they are about to collide (because we see them from below) and add the Tantive IV then add a TV simulation filter (there's one in after FX but there is a better one which is very close to the one used in Star Wars in Sony Vegas) it would look more like Luke was looking up at the battle. You can achieve this pretty easy using Adobe after effects and some still images. Most of the extra FX work in ANH:R was done using 2d images. in fact there is only 1 time CG was used and that was for the TIE fighters in the new approach sequence in the battle of the Death Star.

Anyway, best of luck.

The way the original post was worded, I honestly thought the OP was joking.  Now that I see it's serious, sure go for it.
