It's Adywan's edit. He's made it known that suggestions are always welcome. BUT...
Once he's made an absolute, final, no-going-back decision, have the good grace to SHUT UP about it. You're not required to like everything he does, but IT'S HIS PROJECT, NOT YOURS. Badgering him in the hopes of "making him see the error of his ways" is only going to piss him off. Get him pissed off badly enough, and what happens? NO MORE FAN EDITS.
Translation: Stop complaining, or Adywan will take away the fan edits! ?!
I missed the part where you were appointed as his official spokesman?
I don't think he's some delicate flower that must be protected on here...
As I said before, he's not going to quit because someone disagrees with a decision he's made, so please, don't freak out. If you don't like different opinions, stop reading 'em! It's still an open forum (not his or your personal forum).
So anyway, Adywan is now saying that ILM didn't do a good enough job with the coloring, because they tinted them more blue in post... and since it's too hard to "fix" it to his satisfaction, he's changing them back to the original, unintended color.
Fair enough? I'm not trying to "misquote" anyone, so I've added the latest statement to my thread on SD.net.
Adywan:
The thing is that most of the changes you're making to these films are so subtle, nobody is going to notice them... only the other "editors" and folks who go frame by frame, or use zoom and slo mo to analyze and compare. However if you take something like this that is subtle to begin with to 99% of viewers, and change it's color, it becomes something that now smacks you in the face. People won't be able to avoid it... that the TIEs are all gray.
But anyway, you'll be setting it up for the next editor to re-color the TIEs blue to their satisfaction. Then everyone will be happy...
Would you please explain how you did the TIE coloring in the High Def version?
