DarthStewie said:Thanks Ady... good to be back (though I never really left but skulked around). Thanks for the iris suggestion as well. Just a small note however, in case you missed the little thing I changed other than the wipes and sequence, I flipped and rotated the wampa's hand when he hits Luke. His "thumb" is now at the top of the screen instead at the bottom which makes it look as though he's hitting him with his left arm instead of a twisted backhand of his right arm. Just a little nugget for thought but that's always bugged me since I was a kid and its nice to change it around for my own sake.
Monroville... like Ady said, all the spinning stuff and whatnot are his.
I didn't realize. Just wanted to make the point that it was really cool and should be a keeper.
I just changed the sequence, wipes and wampa hand. This is how it will look in my personal edit once Ady's through with his. I just don't have the technical talent he has. I've got an editor's eye but not so much a technician's brain. Ady has both. Maybe once I'm done with school I'll know more about editing and the like. My suggestion to you is if it is something minor like the spinning starfield, why don't you just cut and paste it into ady's edit when he's done? That's my plan anyway. I like the spinning starfield and he's taking it out. Solution:::: put it back in. It won't really change the hard effort he put in for color correction since it is such a quick scene in space. I'm thinking of even putting the green lasers on the AT-AT's because I like it A LOT. I'll be reworking the Vader/Shuttle scene as to keep some but not all that in too. If Ady fixes something that I think is done correctly or to my tastes, then it stays. If not, I'm gonna tweak that part just the way I've always wanted it. I really don't care if I "release" my edits or not. These are for me as Ady's are for him. This simple concept is forgotten all too often :::cough cough Kurgan cough cough::: That's just the nature of all this. None of it belongs to us and as long as credit is given then I don't know of any fan editor that would mind that their edit is tweaked to someone else's liking.
I perfectly understand. In fact, I mentioned exactly that about 50 some odd posts ago. Due to the power of technology, we can all do fan edits of fan edits essentially. Better still, if we see something on fanedit.org that we like, we can do things like take the blu-ray version of say PEARL HARBOR, use the PEARL HARBOR: STRENGTH AND HONOR edition dvd as a reference, and then edit the blu-ray quality movie onto BD-R for viewing enjoyment! I plan on doing the same for KILLER HORIZON, which turned a pretty meh movie into a pretty HOLY SHIITE MUSLIM! movie.
I also agree that I am in a "let's just see what Ady has planned for us". It's good to hear you like the AT-AT green laser idea too (maybe I can start messing with my Sony Vegas and get ahold of Adobe After Effects and we can collaborate), so who knows! As long as credit is given where credit is due and no profiting on the copyrighted material, then it should all be good.
And again, really love that Hoth opening you made.. maybe you could make a version 2 with the reverse Iris Ady talked about (and 2.35:1 the image, since its kinda squished)?
