because i was already going to be cleaning up the Fx i decided it would be easier to redo the whole position of the stardestroyers than use any form of flip shots ( i just hate flip shots. lol)
If that indeed is the ESB:R shot, you will have to fix this one too to make the Avenger closer to the center SD as opposed to the far left one (the Avenger will probably have to be pushed more towards the right side of the screen):
Also remember that Needa can see the side of the other SD outside his bridge, which means the SDs would be overlapping each other, not side-by-side as indicated here (being that if that was the case, Needa should have seen the upper superstructure and conning tower of the closing SD, not the SDs side)
WOW Adywan! - lol, no worries here about my being a bit late on that sequence, considering your new 'positioning' is MUCH more than I could have hoped for in the end. Making the 'Avenger' go nearer to the 'oncoming' Stardestroyer on it's LEFT instead, is the BEST outcome possible that could have been done. And you've definately still got a little of that 'convergence together' thing going on at this point. And those stars. And that colouring.... Fantastical (haven't used that one yet!) stuff once again. :)
Sorry Monroville, but I've got to agree with Sbassen above, who reckons the initial shot (immediately above) is just down to 'perspective'. Although I also said that in my long post a couple of pages back, one thing I didn't bother to mention at the time, was that I ALWAYS used to think that the 'Avenger' seemed to come across as being nearer to it's LEFT 'oncoming' Stardestroyer, nearest to us, rather than the one on it's right. If Adywan has tweaked this shot a little too, then fine, but it certainly works for me as it stands now if he hasn't, considering he's put a 'gap' between them in the following shot, meaning that the 'Avenger' isn't shown as being underneath the other one at this point, unlike before.
I just wasn't sure how much Adywan was wanting to amend in all this, but he's placed things far better now in that 'comparison' shot of his.
As far as the 'Avenger' Bridge 'windows' view (no 'flipping' required now!) goes - Bear in mind that the 'comparison' shot that Adywan has shown is not at the END of that whole shot. There is still a bit of 'moving forward' that his newly 'positioned' Stardestroyers have to do yet....so that by the time we cut to the 'Bridge' shot, things should look better as far as 'continuity' out of the 'windows' is concerned.
Here's the END of what the original shot looks like below, as a rough guide as to how much further ahead Adywan's 'Avenger' will have travelled by then (though still not necessarily underneath). In fact, in the shot he's previewed, his 'Avenger' already looks to be 'further ahead' at that MIDDLE point, compared to the middle of the original. He's got it perfect! -
