Hey Ady, I was just glancing at the excellent comparisons you have in the first post when I noticed something:

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

Well now that you have your new HD camera, have you thought about going for real authenticity by recreating the stars just like they did for the films? I can't remember where I read/heard it but I remember one of the crew mentioning that all they did was punch holes into this black material (can't remember what it was specifically) with a pin and then backlit it. It would add a lot more authenticity to the stars as it would add a real twinkle to them when they're in motion. Think it would be worth a test to see how it looks? Imagine if it comes off real well and you could one-up the prequel effects crew with their digital starfields.

More work that would just delay the release even more, he already has more than full plate with the model stuff he's doing. Like I said I don't mind repeated star patterns, but not on the right and left of the same frame. (The still frame on the bottom right.)
