Knightmessenger said:Okay I don't know if it's too late to make these revisions or if they could even be done at all but I finally got a chance to record some stuff off the Empire dvd. Here are my pet peeves none of which were fixed in 1997 or 2004.
That lame symettrical ceiling. Yeah I just don't like it. This is supposed to be in a hidden base that I assume was hastily assembled. It looks too well made and professionally done. And I don't like the design either. Boring!
It looks like pre-fab construction. If anything, that's exactly how a hastily put-together base would look.
The wall behind C3P0. It seems like it's supposed to be a cave wall carved out of ice. Instead it looks like a cheap set of prefabricated plastic molded to look like a cave wall. Would there be any way you could make the wall look more like ice instead of shiny plastic?
This one I can kinda see where you are coming from. It never bugged me, since it looks like someone did some carving with some sort of tool (laser or otherwise) and it looks good enough I never really noticed. Even then, not sure what you can do with it other than add some slight texturing (like how light glitters off of snow: a good example would be some of the Jor-El Krypton scenes in SMALLVILLE of all places to see what I mean.
And this one really gets me. When the Millenium Falcon is inside the asteroid worm it displays this unbelievable ability to shrink itself. This also happens when they escape the mother ship from Independence Day. I just hate how the audience is basically told "from this scale there's no way they can escape *wait* the scale has been changed and the ship is a lot smaller in the next shot. They're going to make it after all." It just seems like it's cheating.
In other words the scale of the cockpit window to the worm's teeth does not match up with the exterior shot scale of the ship slipping through the teeth.
I think the problem is that (without seeing the footage in motion) the mouth is closing too much in the 2 earlier shots compared to the speed the MF is moving towards the teeth. Either the mouth shot in the 2 first images should be bigger (ie the MF is closer) or the mouth needs to be open more (so when we get the 3rd shot above, the MF speed matches with the mouth closing movement).
If you go by the mouth movement in the first 2 shots, by the time the MF closes the gap it would have hit the already closed mouth and exploded on the inside of the teeth... unless it used its guns to blow one of the teeth out to create an opening for escape.
