Yeah the OT music is cool only thing is the editing/pace doesnt reflect the speed of the old-school Williams music. Yo me, the action feels sluggish when ran under the OT tracks... Just my 2 cents :)

I know it's different but I would actually say that that's backwards. The OT had *fewer* quick cuts and the music accented the actions on screen. The PT has the quickest cuts in the action scenes. And Williams' score in the PT doesn't have the same (for lack of a better musical term) "accents" for the onscreen action. If that makes any sense! ;) My 2 cents.

Oh I agree about the PT music, but I think what I meant was someting Ady had alluded to before, about the editing in the PT is not the same as in the OT. Great job either way!

Oh! Well then I guess we agree! :D

See I told you the eye droid with a scanning laser idea had legs.

There are a few too many calls of "Padme!"(I half expected someone to call out "Doctor Scott!", "Janet!") and the OT music doesn't always capture the mood (it's sometimes heroic when it should be evoking dynamic tension).

But on the whole a successful stab.

Yes I do believe I stole that idea from you! ;)

I *did* wonder if I had too many "padme!"s in there...believ it or not I actually had more than that!

And I know what you're saying about the OT music...I feel I'm not partiicularly good at finding the right pieces...you know it's funny because in the original Lucas and Burtt butchered williams score...and now I did too! :D

SSWR, I really like that cut, it makes it seem a lot more frantic and there's tension in the scene for probably the first time I've ever seen it.

In addition to what was mentioned earlier, when Anakin releases Padme through the force, his lightsaber is on. I know that's because you repurposed a shot from earlier in the sequence, but that does need to be fixed, if possible.

Otherwise, a really good job. Though it makes me feel like I'm flying the Millennium Falcon in X-Wing Alliance. :p Is there any way you could get some good JW music from another source, maybe an Indiana Jones film or Minority Report, or anywhere else he's done action music? Obviously, it can't be anything super-obvious, but an action cue from Minority Report or something might work.

Thank you for the great feedback! Yeah, I don't have a way to get rid of the lightsbaer in that shot. :( darn after effects so expensive...

Again I don't feel very confident at picking out the music...I have a version of the vid with just the sound fx...anyone want to take a stab at it?

wow! that is so cool! i cant believe i didnt think about him pulling the cup thing down with the force, that is such a better idea. the eyeball was a great idea too, i think the lack of geonosians was a good idea too. i like the way he is calling padme alot, i may try and find her wailing anakin from clone wars a bit if i do it again on mine.

so...heres my attempt. after watching yours it really doesnt compare, i aplogise for not getting it out at the same time, internet is being a tad annoying uploading stuff, took all night!:P im afraid i didnt have enough time to do sfx, and as the original scene is so thick with musc its hard to isolate any. the general idea was to make it like the chasm scene in ANH and to give the innocence of luke/leia to anikin and padme.

ben_danger! Dude there is some really good stuff here! I love the chasm music at the beginning...very OT and creepy! I think my other favorite part is Anakin being knocked off the belt by the arm...it would be great if there was another shot of him landing and then have Fett come in with the droids...

But you're right...it does give that feeling of the Luke/Liea innocence...

Again, great job!

And thanks for the feedback...Yeah I really wanted more dialouge between the anakin and padme...I wish I had anakin saying "where are you?!!" and stuff like that...darn...
