A few niggles:
When your A-man logo zooms on screen it doesn't line completely up with the static version and there's a jump when that appears.
No offense meant, but I really didn't like that 'ave maria' bit. Felt a bit pretentious to me, and I don't like the religious connotations. But maybe it's just me lol :) As I said, no offense meant.
Could just be the clip, but in mplayer it plays slightly out of sync.
Again, possibly just the clip, but it seems your video is not (properly) ivtc'ed, or there is some other interlace issue? Most noticeable right after the interior shot when the building passes on the left and the pan at the landing pad. It looks jerky.
I noticed it didn't line up but I was using Particle Illusions for the logo and It wouldn't line up completely for some reason. It was the best I could do. Sorry if it's long but I wanted to make sure to get my name out there at the same time and at the scale I'm going for. I didn't intend for Ave Maria to be a religious thing, I'm not even christian. I just really appreciate the music and the voice and thought it was a nice and subtle way to come out of all the exploding asteroids.
And regarding the jerky video it could be two things:
1. I only rendered that clip in WMV so it's not 100% quality and it's also only in 2.1 audio.
2. Perhaps it's your video card?
I did notice the shaky video on YouTube but the WMV isn't too noticeable. Again, I didn't render that clip in 100%. In Vegas it looks fine so no worries. ;)
wwdarth said:Hmmm. Interesting concept. Techically speaking, the opening logo was a little long, and the dialogue is drowned out by the "new" music. Thematically speaking...no Star Wars music? I understand the effort, to consolidate the story into an epic, but really...removing the main theme? It's at a point where some fan edits are simply to modernize, reimagine and remove what makes Star Wars...Star Wars. Battlestar Galactica (the new one) was an awesome show, with a completely different atmosphere then Lucas' saga. Unless we pick up cameras and reshoot everything again, it's going to remain different. I don't want to crush anyone's creativity, but removing the trademark stuff like music just jumped out at me:) What will you do with the swing across the chasm? Good luck with the rest.
There will still be Star Wars music but again, you must realize I'm going for a completely new approach. I know many "Die Hard OT" fans will be let down but this isn't Classic Star Wars, it's a reimagination. If you want something more true Ady has his Revisions of the saga. If you saw what info had released before, those clips were edited very differently aswell and had a lot of new music and even new and missing scenes. I've received complaints from others regarding the absence of the cral and the main theme but as I said before, it's like a reinterpretation. For example, Kamino and the Asteroid chase is being removed completely.
