check again because there is nothing wrong with them.
DuTwan said:Few points i feel i must bring up is that the Hoth battle, the ATATs at the back look a little too fake, mostly due to lighting, i mean the front ones shadows are a light grey whereas the ones at the back are very dark.
actually the rear AT-AT's are the same as the front ones only timed different so they don't look the same. They have been brightened and have a black level of 16 instead of 0 like the front ones so the shadows on the rear ones are indeed lighter. Guess it must be an optical illusion or video set-up that's making them look darker to you.
Ripplin said:vaderios said:I d love to keep the lasers that the TIES firing at MF at the asteroid chase( adds more color to the scene)
I was surprised at that too. Hope it makes it into the final cut, as I was really impressed with it.
sorry, but the lasers are gone for good. After i added them there was just something wrong with the sequence that i just couldn't put my finger on at first. it was the lasers. i tried removing them just from the shot where the TIE blows up but that didn't work so they had to go.
Darth Piccolo said:luke's lightsaber still seems to be transparent as i can still see vader's lightsaber in it.
not sure what you mean by the first thing because none of the sabers are transparent
GoodMusician said:I would ask that if you decide to remix the music... when you go to do that... maybe pen me a quick letter... there's a lot I can tell you about where to go to get what...and for what reasons. The SE will be your undoing if you simply cut and paste it into the film as it's horribly wrong.
i'll certainly be giving you a shout when i get to the audio side of things.
BarBar Jinkx said:but there is one thing that stands out to me & unfortunatly it is something that I do not think that can be fixed
the glow of the sabers should be visible in his eyes
actually you wouldn't see the glow at all. the most you would see is a point of light. i may add the point of light but only if i can do it convincingly.
Sevb32 said:My question for Ady is how is he going to do officers pit part without it looking repeated? I see it's using the part from where Needa and the other guy are on the bridge when the falcon flies so close to the bridge. All those officers are posed the same way as in the earlier shot, so how is he going to stop it from looking like reused shot?
The star Wars films have many reused shots in it. In ANH there is the shot of Tarkin reused before the DS explodes, ESB its Leia on the command centre to name just 2.
Now the layout of the pits on the executor changes in ESB. Look at the shot at the end f the movie when Piette orders the officer to "ready the tractor beam". its actually the avenger bridge pit. no one seems to have been bothered by this before so i'm not too bothered about it now. And in ROTJ the bridge is completely different again.
vaderios said:In fact... The buildings have the correct perpespective but it should have a blue shadow tint because of the sky reflection :)
you really do have a blue fetish don't you Angel. are you sure you didn't do the recolouring for the 2004 DVD's? lol
i'm not sure why the new fad is that everything outdoors in daylight has to have a blue tint to the shadowing. its a recent misconception and seems to be a rule with many CG & photoshop artists, which is one reason that a lot of CG looks fake. different lighting conditions & atmospherics are what affects the environment, the clouds in the new matte have a yellow tint because of the time of day so the buildings would also be affected by this.
Siliconmaster482 said:Curiously Ady, why did you move Obi-Wan's head closer to the center?
well this was down to the new background. because i had made Obi-Wan more transparent, like he is in ROTJ, the background had an unwanted effect on Obi-Wan's face in his original position so moving him more to the centre showed off the transparency better without making his face look weird.
nice posters by the way savage and fredstar
Darth Piccolo said:in the asteriod chase the tie fighter on the far rigth, below the other 3 seems to jerk a bit.
professa said:just one bad for me
vader's saber thicker than luke's
vaderios said:Also there is an FX glitch in the laser firing when the ties are hunting the MF in the new Star destroyer shot. ( when the up right TIE shoots near the end the laser isnt moving properly and overlap the tie itself. Its not ady's fault)
Asteroid-Man said:Ady, are you going to be working on the edges of the rebel ships in the hoth battle? They've got shadows around them.
Sluggo said:Ady, could you look at the 'levatating' boxes and rocks on Dagobah? Most of the time, the effect works pretty well, but sometimes it seems more like props on string in some shots.
Also, the trick the stage hands used to lift R2 looks bad. It just looks like he is being lifted up by a platform on a jack. I guess I think it ought to look like everything is floating on a space station, just bobbing up and down and not so static.
Enigmas said:- At 1:44 the taun-taun's motion doesn't look as fluid as the other shot in the trailer (which just looked superb). I love the footprints, though!
The Golden Idol said:So, no one else noticed the bad compositing/outlines of Lando, Leia and Chewie on the balcony? I'm sure it's ILM's fault and not Ady's, but is there any way to fix it? It sticks out.
these are all problems with the original elements. there isn't much i can do without having all the separate elements and re-composite them i'm afraid.as for vaders saber at least its not as thick as it is on the GOUT. my god that saber is like the ROTJ ones.
i've added annotations to the trailer in my youtube account so you can see what's changed while watching the video

Darth Solo said:Now Adys posted the trailer, its going to be quieter around here now hes making his props, so let him focus on the frustration of that insted of nit picking every frame of Empire that may add to his workload at the moment.
yes, now the trailer is done the video work has stopped. i'm now concentrating on the models and sets. i'm not too happy with the guy i purchased the Millennium Falcon model off ebay as i still haven't received the model. his first excuse was that he had been in hospital and was sending it out last Wednesday but after that he has stopped replying to my emails so i have had to raise a dispute. how the hell can it take so long for a model to get to me when its in the UK but others i have ordered since this one from around the world got to me in no time at all. not a happy chappy at the moment
Oh man, the old ebay seller "I was in the hospital." excuse. Even the ones with great feedback can go bad when they are going thru harder times.
