adywan said:i'm going to maybe add a faint saber glow on lukes face only in a couple of closeups. the whole glow issue seems to have been overdone a bit in the PT but the bit where they swing the sabers around their heads in AOTC is going anyway so the other glows are so quick you hardly notice them anyway
REPLY - Excellent. That will be a good compromise for the 'Empire:R' shots, without having to worry about every possible surface reflection throughout. These couple of 'close-ups' of Luke's face alone, will be a welcome, subtle touch.
R2's jets are also going in the PT so they won't be added in the OT. I hate all the bloody EU explanations for everything which is why all that crap is staying out of Revisited.
REPLY - At last! I never did like their addition to R2 in the 'prequels', despite ANY of the 'official' suggestions given for their lack of inclusion in the 'Original Trilogy'. I'm really pleased that R2 is going to remain grounded in these future edits.
The rotating room is an interesting idea but just wouldn't work. i've been looking over that scene again and the scale of things is all messed up. the cloud car is too big when it reaches the building. either that or the lift on the side of the building is for midgets only. maybe it was the ugnaught only lift. lol. it does need a new matte. i was thinking about shrinking the window a bit but leia needs to be the focal point of that shot so that may not work. plus the window needs to be higher up on the building because the interior ceiling is too low down. Is it worth all the extra work to try and sort out the continuity mess though? i'm not so sure at the moment.
REPLY - Thanks for the update on this one. As I recently described, even a little tweaking to the 'interior' detail of the 'apartment window', and the removal of the uppermost 'roof framework' would make a big difference to the existing continuity. However, if you DO decide to go further, then that's even more than I could have hoped for.
(Oh and Sevb32, regarding your recent request for a 'flipped into reverse' clip of the 'city fly-through' to be put up - just get a mirror out to watch it in, I tells ya, and have those 'pause' / 'reverse' remote buttons at hand)
By the way, has anyone else had any problems with page 300 freezing up half-way through the 13th post down by Dangerous Incorporated? I seem to remember this happened a while ago, but can't remember what caused it. Anyway, It's still frozen at my end, and if anyone else can see the whole page, did I miss anything of interest?
