well i've finally amanged to catch up on everything.
The blue bolt from the ion canon - i love it. this makes it more of an electrical weapon to disable the ships instead of fire power. I'll definitely be doing something like this
The wampa severed arm. I may add some residual glow from the sabre wound on the falling arm similar to the cantina scene in ANH:R but i won't be adding any flames . fur wouldn't burn only singe. Plus that final shot of the wampa in pain will most probably not be in ESB:R. Its too noticeable you can even see the seam of the costume down the one side
I like the additions to Slave 1's cockpit. most probably i'll be doing something like this
The red glow in the AT-AT interiors. Thanks for doing that mock-up. that has really helped put my point across that adding red lighting to the interiors will look fake. This is really something that doesn't need doing. its only one very brief shot of an AT-AT with a red cockpit and only one single one. i do however like the display in the windows.
The holograms. I may be doing some slight tweaking but i won't be making them look as clean as the PT ones are. i will be redoing the PT ones to closer match the OT when i get to it. I may add a faint projection glow but i won't know for sure until i try it out.

yeh that is a weird lighting effect. might have to do something about that. Actually this shot brings me to a problem that may well be unresolvable. You see Piett walking away from the officer but the next immediate shot he is already down the other end of the pit. not sure how i can fix this problem without things looking odd though. this ones going to be a tough one.
vaderios said:I was wondering, If the hoth base is collapsing and we had see before electricity issues when the imperials intrude, in the scene when Han and leia run to falcon it will be cool to have some slight background movement.
Like this:
i like the idea of the flickering lights. brings a bit of life to the matte
As for Vaders cries of pain they will be remaining in the movie. but, as was pointed out, 2 of the cries in the carbon chamber are exactly the same since the SE. I'll be returning these cries to the original different ones or maybe use something different for the one.

I'm starting work on that later in the week so as soon as that is finished i will post some photos.
Have you thought of getting in touch with someone who has built various Wampas in the past? Such as Tom Spina whom I know from The Replica Props Forum http://www.tomspinadesigns.com/Sculpture.html. Scroll down to the sixth row. I also remember he built a full size Wampa a while back.
Well the wampa i will be doing is going to be a very slight redesign, plus i love creating things so the fun for me is actually building the new creature.
