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.
Just caught up with your latest comments Adywan. Lots of interesting things covered as usual, including your current thoughts on the additional 'TIE-firing' shots you'd previously worked on.
The whole 'asteroid chase' sequence was always one of my favourites in the OT, due to it's visuals, sound, and pacing, and the various enhancements and re-colouring you've done to it (even without your extra 'firing'), will make it even better now.
However, when I first saw your previous clip showing the additional 'TIE-firing' in the sequence, I thought you'd placed the extra laserbolts and sound effects in a way that truly enhanced the shots and accompanying soundtrack, especially in the first 2 shots that we saw and heard these new ones. This had been an unexpected possible addition at the time, and I didn't know if you were planning on adding even more during the rest of the sequence or not, too, at that point.... :)
But if you ultimately don't want them, then you don't want them....and the overall sequence will STILL be terrific with the 'TIE-firing' just beginning where it currently does, at the point where the Falcon skims close to the surface of the largest asteroid.
Just a thought, but there are many scenes where the TIEs seem to open fire DIRECTLY at the Falcon....but I imagine that during the times they don't seem to be trying to 'herd it into position somewhere', that they are instead just intending to 'disable' it (as per Vader's wishes I'd imagine) rather than destroy it. (That and the fact that the movie would be less dramatic if they ONLY FOLLOWED the Falcon, without firing!) Therefore I have no problem with any scenes that show the Falcon being fired at, whatsoever.
Anyway, just my own last thought on that, and for anyone that hasn't seen this yet, here's how Adywan's excellent 'TIE-firing' was added into the flow of the current sequence -

Oh, and still enjoying the recent trailer immensely!
