Octorox said:I have a Canon HV30 (1080p), it even has a 24p mode. What do you need shot?
it would basically be all the new models and set pieces i'm having to make to replace certain shots. i am shocked just how much the UK is getting ripped off with prices after following those links. The canon would be a godsend because i just love canon cameras ( i own a 350d digital SLR & the quality is unbelievable) but at the prices we're getting charged it could never be a possibility
AuggieBenDoggie said:Awesome work Ady! I would have never thought you would actually go out of the way and build models and set pieces and film new elements to composite into ESB:R I would have thought you would go the CGI rout instead like you did with the Tie intro in ANH:R, but building models and set pieces would be alot more realistic than CGI anyway.
Just curious, how are you going to accomplish the two ties colliding with each other. Are you going to actually going to crash 2 models into each other?
well for that sequence i have to build an entire new canyon to fly the camera through because the original background elements are just too bad to use. the ships i may be able to keep but if not i'll just film new elements using the TIE models separately and i can collide them easily in after effects. the hell part will be building the canyon due to the size it needs to be.
I'm also going to be building a new wampa head with horns, shoulders & arms to replace the original puppet. this way i can also replace the weird looking wampa shot as it lunges at luke in the cave. I'm starting work on that later in the week so as soon as that is finished i will post some photos.
I have also decided that if i can get the camera i'm going to be doing some behind the scenes vids showing the new models & how they were filmed. so you'll get to see the complete process on how certain shots were done from start to finish.
here is the list of stuff i have to make & film so far:
New asteroid canyon
complete Wampa head with arms connected to shoulders so it looks like it is actually taking a swing at luke
whole inside of the cave tunnel of the Slug including retractable teeth
New weather vane model (maybe)
Some snowspeeder elements
Interior snowspeeder cockpit window to fix transparency issues in close-ups & to retain moving shadows
Possibly new millennium Falcon model shots to replace the flat looking CGi shots in the approach of cloud city platform
background shots of fallen AT-ATs
there will most likely be more things needed but that's the list so far. yes all this would probably be possibly with CG but i prefer to use models for creatures and backgrounds.
