Info & Ideas: ESB and ROTJ Wishlist — Page 83

I've been trying to work on a hybrid of Angel's big pan mockup and the waterfall idea (not quite there yet) by way of a preview :

The angles are very different and to be honest I'm not sure how to go about it.

I'll try.

Nice idea ^^

Mockup looks great!

That scene sucks. Basicaly ROTJ has the same bad lighting with ANH ( strong sharp shadows)

I tried to eliminate some of them and reduce the blacks.

 

I enhance the screen so the middle one shows the rebels approach the death star and the front one to show several shit of the shield generator.

Also new panels.

I love the surround and I love the screen itself but I'm not sure if the idea of a holoprojection flat screen (which I assume this is) works, it seems a bit like over egging a really nice cake.

I'd love to see a version of this with everything but the sheet of light that the image seems to be projected on, there is a screen there so the image might as well be coming out of it rather than being projected over it.

nice lighted panel

The idea was that the panel has 3 screens to one :P

 

-Angel

I get that now, it might help if you gave each screen layer a different colour signature so the crew looking at it could tell which was which at a glance (Bluey video, Red tactical readout, Green text overlay, that sort of thing) which might make for some nice colour bleed effects (like looking through different colour gels (I used to do this with sweet wrappers when I was a kid...and still had teeth).

Without the multiple screens:

-Angel

That does look better (to these eyes) at the moment.

Perfect.

Its still all forest ;) but more interesting! try to see that image at night, when vader lands. The sound of waterfalls combining with lights= awesome. And will not occure problem with the later scenes because the bunker will be far from teh water falls.

Still when we see the dish gets explode a new matte or a more dramatic angle is good.

IMO always :)

u got me there ;) btw, nice mock up on the view screen.

Here's my full combination of Angel's pan and with a waterfall (I wanted to add the dish on the hill but I can'f find a good enough isolated one with the nightlights on it) :

Angel has the raw ingredients hopefully he can cook it up better (in defence of the lighting, we have two large reflective objects in the sky and an imperial base lit up by floods).

This could even be the same platform as in the other mockup as we could be on the bank with the dish on and Han and Co could in the morning be looking down the bank on the otherside with a waterfall below them.

*drools*

i don't see them making little bows and arrows though or spears.

I'm all for a few subtle references to the prequels, I mentioned the neckless earlier but I'm not too keen on flashbacks unless it's in a Godfather 2 type saga re-edit where they can be a meatier.

I would love to add a few whispers to the cave sequence in ESB (I mentioned giving the lizards and snakes a few subliminal connections to fallen Sith Lords, red and black markings, sith eyes etc, it is a dreamscape so you can get away with a bit of trickery there).

The odd Clone War era ship in the fleet of ROTJ would be welcome too, all those weapons would have to go somewhere (either to a wreckers yard or sold on on the black market) and that works both ways I'd love to see OT ships in pristine condition in PT too.

Outside of Ady's ANH:R I'd like to see the family graveyard put into the Lars homestead and the readout lights from AOTC's Garage being put into the ANH garage.

Nothing as stand out obvious as sticking Hayden's head onto Seb Shaw's neck but little touches that people who look for them can notice (like having the battledroid in the Sandcrawler in ANH:R).

On a seperate subject I've searched high and low and not managed to find a good isolated shot of the Endor deflector dish at night (without a ship or building in front of it) if anyone has or finds one I would be very grateful if you could send it to me in PM.

The last mockup I did is mostly Angel's work (I just added a bit to it to prove the concept of adding a waterfall to his pan) I'm sure he could do a much better job and hope he will give it a go when he is less busy.

It might be nice if as well as having the platform the Imperials had a hanger for launching bombers and the like on the other side :

 I have a very big version of the background image (without the bombers) if anyone else want to play about with it drop me a PM.
