I don't think the two entrances need to be made to look the same. Don't forget there is a north and south entrance to the base. although the mattes need enhancing they don't need to be exactly the same

i have things planned for the sequence where the shield generator is destroyed but i'm keeping this one secret until the edit is released.

as for vaders chamber, i do like the corridor idea abut not an airlock or lift. he wouldn't need a sterile environment so his wounds wouldn't get infected because they would have healed after all this time. i've always thought that the actual meditation unit had some sort of inbuilt force field protecting Vader when he has his mask off and that his breathing apparatus was linked into its systems which would allow him to have his mask off for short periods of time. i won't be doing any changes to that apart from the entrance.

I've just noticed that this original post has disappeared. very strange. hmm

Oh! Sweet new matte! One question, the bluish part of the sky should be there to previous shots right?

Looks great, but I am hoping he added sky traffic, because that is after Lando advised people to leave.

this is a temp shot to check the composite before final render so many of the elements are unfinished or missing. I have to do this to check that the tracking of the new mattes matches the original footage. if you notice the original footage is hardly stable and adding a new matte without tracking the originals motion would look odd if the new matte was static but the original element was unstable. This shot was more of a teaser as i won't be showing any more finished shots until after the trailer is released. So it already has a different sky & sky traffic since i posted that pic as the shot is now complete. you'll just have to wait til either the trailer or the movie is released to see the finished shot .lol

That's beautiful Ady. The whole thing. How long did it take you to amass all of those sound effects?

I've been collecting various sound Fx over the years but i managed to get hell of a lot of Star Wars effects from HERE.

wow ady, are you inserting completely new sound effects? (did you do that in ANH:R)

yes the soundtrack for ANH:R featured a rebuilt sound mix with new sound FX and the same will be done to ESB:R
