well i guess you need to go and rewatch ROTJ then because many shots in the sapeAnd I think billing that effects sequence as having "no single focus in that scene" is disingenuous. I cannot contemplate the folks over at ILM saying "We're making an effect shot with no focus point". I don't know any FX team that has ever made a visual effects shot that didn't have a focus point.

Well i think you need to go back and rewatch ROTJ then because the space battel has many shots where there is no single focus point. in these shots there are many focus points.lol

So, does that mean it will be footage we have not seen at all yet ?

well almost all the footage i've shown so far has had some form tweaking or completely redone since they were released so there will be a difference in the existing footage. It's just that i have some specific footage i want for the trailer and i haven't begun work on those shots just yet

Nice work on the new Cloud City shot, but you think you can gray out the front clouds a little bit? It looks like the front cloud layer is getting more light than the clouds that are in front of the sun. It's almost like it's getting light from a different sun altogether that isn't setting.

this is something that has always bugged me about bespin. does it have 1 or 2 suns? look at the scene where the falcon first approaches cloud city. first the sun is behind/ to the left of them then its in front of them but the 2 positions of the sun are consistent so maybe there is 2 suns after all. in the end it all just ends up that i think the clouds look better lighter in the foreground. i did try it with the clouds darker but it just didn't look right at all and didn't have the effect that i was after and the background clouds were perfect especially when, towards the end of the shot, you see the sun poking out from behind the city
