Apologies everyone, but that 'keen observation' wasn't so observant it seems! Well I did say things get a little 'complicated' where some of these 'Bridge' shots are concerned, lol.
I just checked to see if the so-called 'troublesome' shots were 'static' ones or not (they are, by the way), to get an idea of how much work Adywan would have to do to amend certain 'backgrounds', if he attempted to do anything to them. When doing this, I've now found a BIG flaw in my recent 'positioning' shots for Vader....
(It would be good to get the various screenshots for this sequence, as it will be a whole lot easier to show some options, so I'll see if I can get them organised sometime)
But just to say at the moment - I've belatedly realised that the shot at 1:53:01, where (according to me at the time) we see Vader positioned at the very front big 'Bridge' window, as he watches the trajectory of the Falcon's dive downwards towards the 'Executor's RIGHT-hand side, in front of him....further ahead of him....as it headed closely towards the 'prow'....does not fit properly, because the tiny Millennium Falcon element (that I wanted a hint of TIEs firing laserbolts added to!) in the shot actually makes it look like the Falcon is wrongly crossing across the path of the 'Executor', on it's way to the LEFT-side of it, at this point!
So if that particular shot was to work in representing Vader at the front big window in the sequence I described....then we actually WOULDN'T see the tiny Falcon at all, through the window, and it would need to be removed from the shot altogether, instead!
On the other hand - I can now also see a totally different order of possible 'positioning' for Vader, if the 'movement' of the Falcon in that shot is left as it is.... It means that Vader was meant to be looking out of 'side'-windows at some point, after all (although still not necessarily the 'side'-window that vaderios alluded to), and that some of the 'troublesome' backgrounds can maybe make sense, after all. Not all of them though....
So might be worth looking at further options on this yet, if I can get the shots, although I've no idea if Adywan has done anything here at all yet, or even sorted everything to make sense already!
By the way vaderios, I love the work you did on your 'matte'! That is certainly one of the shots that I really look forward to seeing improved on a little. The colouring vastly improves on the SE version already of course. I hope you do get the time to have a go with the 'JEDI' one sometime too. Great stuff.
