well you totally contradicted yourself about the sky here Monroville. As i've said i'm not changing anything about the new shot. it works perfectly well for me. The brightness matches the other shots in the sequence whereas before , as i have said already, the original shot looked stormy. I guess there is only one way to settle this as you need to see it in motion and in context with the rest of the sequence. I'm wondering just how many are still comparing the colouring with the 2004 shots instead of my colour corrected version?
please don't post this clip on youtube because it isn't finished. ignore the first shot because that's just the colour corrected version and i haven't begun work on this yet
Okay, this is getting very frustrating.
The first comment is on the EMPIRE:R image itself, as in the cloudier sky can be implemented per my prior message with the fog bank/storm that the AT-ATs are first seen with the binocs.
The second comment is - if you want to do the clear skies, you can make the skies in the original shot clearer and add an AT-AT on the left, otherwise making the shot unmodified (other than color correction).
Now:
after watching the clip, it does come off better in motion, but there is still something that seems a little off. I don't know if it is the closeness of the AT-ATs, the lighting or something with how the ground doesn't seem to recede far enough for the mountains to be "mountains". Maybe if the mountains were more grey or a faded blue due to atmospheric haze - something to distinguish them from the ground below the AT-ATs so it doesn't look like they're right behind them.
Now I also understand that this is your show. I'm just voicing my concern being that one of the things that really put me off the Prequels was just how everything was filmed. it seems that everything since the mid-90's has this uniform lighted look (from foreground to background), with the exception of horror movies, which go the complete opposite direction and now they all look like SEVEN.
