The current neat shot of him looking out (with the tiny Falcon amended of course) would definately work very nicely at either one of these points....especially since we are just currently seeing exactly the same kind of 'close-up' frontal shots close together anyway.
I reckon this new order of shots will look fantastic with your latest one, if you just lose one of these similar 'frontal' shots, rather than lose the Vader 'from the back' shot....
a slightly different shot of Vader from behind now replaces the original due to his position fitting in with the new shots. here's the shots in their final sequence
as you may be able to just make out the falcon now heads away from the executor on the right hand side instead of just heading to the right as it did originally. It is also animated with TIE fighters chasing it firing lasers.
Ah, thanks very much for previewing your new sequence of shots for this! Those 2 additional shots (ontop of the recent one you previewed) are terrific, and I'm really pleased you have indeed replaced one of the repeated frontal 'close-up' shots of Vader's mask in the process!
Although I will miss that shot of Vader's 'side on/rear view' as he looks out, I realise the 'angle' of the big window that he looked out of in the original shot, would not have been able to show the tiny Falcon element travelling downwards towards the 'Executor's' front-right side in front of him, below his viewpoint there. In your new shots it now looks far more likely that the Falcon will end up very close to the front-side, when we rejoin it's movement approx. 20 secs. or so later in the action.
And I love that you also have added the hint of TIEs firing too!
Just a thought though Adywan, and I might be wrong, as I obviously can't see your sequence 'moving' yet, but.... -
This is all dependant on where you have the Falcon 'veering' on your top shot above, but in the 2 shots below that, you now have the tiny Falcon showing in the small FRONT window, 2 places along from the FRONT big window.... Would it look better if you had the tiny Falcon element showing in the front BIG window, 3 places along from the FRONT big window, instead?.... It seems that from the position that the distant Falcon is in during the shot that comes next (your new shot of behind Vader's helmet), that this would tie-in better with that shot then, if you put it there instead....as although he is looking out of the FRONT big window, it still seems to be at an 'angle', and is not quite at the point of heading downwards to the 'prow' in front of Vader yet, which the window directly faces, if you see what I mean.
It just strikes me that in the 3rd shot down especially, that the Falcon is seems to be 'going over the front body' of the 'Executor' in front of Vader's viewpoint there (would it even be seen in that particular shot, if you move it in the 2nd shot as I suggest??). If this is the intention that the Falcon is meant to perhaps 'veer' back to the right a little, so that we next see it very close to the right-hand side of the 'Executor'....then sorry to mention this. I just always thought that the Falcon would immediately 'close-in' directly to the 'Executor's' side, until the TIEs eventually chase it beyond the 'prow'.
Your shot sequence looks great now though, and is a huge improvement on everything before!
Some of your other plans sound amazing too, and you definately deserve your 'cameo' onscreen. How very 'Hitchcock-ian'....
Some interesting suggestions, once again, Monroville. It's always fascinating to see what Adywan's own final choices are out of everything that members here put to him. His choices are usually things that no-one else had thought of, and turn out for the best!
