so ady, 2010 is the absolute confirmed release of ESBR? or is that just a goal you're making for yourself? i'm getting to excited to wait!
2010 is the goal i have set but there may still be a slim chance of the Xmas 2009 release. the main factor against this happening at the moment is money. building these sets and everything else is costing a lot more than i had originally anticipated. I desperately need the Fine Molds Millennium Falcon before i can begin to build the hangar set because of getting the scale right. The same goes with the asteroid canyon scene. but with the only Fine Molds models i can find are on Ebay and are about £200, a quarter of that is just shipping to the Uk, its just a case of saving up as much as i can and preying there is still one available when i get the cash. Then there is the problem of building these huge sets but living in a 1 bedroom flat and still being able to live in this place with these huge sets in my front room. That's going to be fun. Its all going to have to be done one set at a time. Then there is the depressing thought that as soon as that one set is complete and filmed it will all have to be smashed up and disposed of so i can move onto the next one. I'm not looking forward to that.

Were these just temporary starfields?
starfields is one thing that has never bothered me. the last thing you should be looking at in a space sequence is the stars. i never wanted to use generated starfields and instead wanted to use original starfields from the stare was movies . you will get repeated starfields because there is only so much area i can grab and combine to use to create a very hi res starfield that can be used for panning shots and fast movement. Its the same starfield i used for ANH:R and no one commented on that so i'm not too bothered by repeated star clusters. lol

Still i like the sky has a bit more blue to popup
-Angel
the thing is that the sky was never blue in the original. the 2004 set was completely blue in that shot so when i did the colour correction i gave the land mass and the sky a bit of definition. But ,even though its hard to notice in that scene, its actually snowing when Luke chats to Han so it should have that cloudy and misty feel to that shot.
Desidious said:Hi, Mr. Adywan, as you can see I've never posted in this forum but I visit this tread quite often so as many other people I'm anxiously waiting the release of Episode V Revisited. First of all, I'd like to congratulate you for your terrific work with Episode IV, to me it IS the definitive version of the classsic.
Recently I watched Yoda's second sneak peek, where he's digitally enhanced... I'm very impressed. Having said that, I still have two suggestions... the first is that he needs to blink more; I mean, those little details you've added really make the difference between a nice puppet and a believable character but the pace needs to be faster; and second, he also needs to look forward or at least not looking squint.
Thanks for your work, Mr. Adywan, every single fan around the world now owes you one.
Greetings from México.

Welcome to the forum Desidious and Burdokva.
When adding any emotives to a puppets face there is a danger of adding too much. subtle will always look more natural. i have studied the actors in the scenes with Yoda to see how often they blink and if you watch the scenes you will see that you hardly catch a blink by them so it seems right that you would only catch a few with Yoda now and then. Also i have tried to add some eye movement but this just ended up looking really fake so i have decided against that.
Sevb32 said:So will Wednesdays be the day for Ady's weekly "Select" still from ESB:R? We got our first one on Wednesday.
No, it will be every Thursday leading up to the release of the trailer on the 21st May, which is also a Thursday. The first one was posted on a Thursday GMT.
