I like the idea of seeing the flaps open on the snowspeeders in the cockpit shots. not sure if i would be able to do it or not but it looks like i need to build something else now. :)
Another 3 months delaying it!
But i don't care how long this takes me to do. If an idea comes up that i think would benefit the edit then i will try to do it, even if it delays the release by an extra year or so. The last thing i want to do is rush the edit just to get it out there and look back thinking "god i really wish i had done that" and not be happy with the finished product.

Ady, don't be tempted by the Snowspeeder flaps! You've got enough on your plate already!
And good luck on the canyon. Are you going by the one already in the movie, or designing your own (as far as one can design a rock)?
But i really do like this idea and i think it will really add to the edit.
The canyon is not going to look the same as the original. The first shot as the falcon flies into the canyon looks really fake as it stands. But it is going to match the rock formations we see in the craters so everything matches up.
You could wish "I'd done that." for an eternity though, something will always come up. You always add on stuff later anyway. I think I had better leave this forum for a while (to vbangle's and some others delights), perhaps even a year, it's making me nuts. It will be done when it's done doesn't fly, we've only got so many years to live. That's why I sometimes hate the criticism some filmakers get, they actually have deadlines not indefinite time periods. Call me whatever you want, impatient, bratty, prick, whatever variant insulting synonym you can think of. I'm trying not to be a prick but it's hard to hit a moving target. It's line seeing the finish line up a head with joy, then someone moves it out further again, and again, and again.
So much for a Christmas 09 release, or even release for ESB's 30th Ann. next year. If it's going to take forever we should at least get more trailers, those who don't want to be spoiled don't have to watch them, no one is forcing them. I am willing to donate more if we can get some of that stuff. Willing to donate quite a bit more actually. I want to support this project being that ANH:R is the only version of ANH I watch now. It's beyond terrific.
The Xmas 09 target was set well before all the extra fixes and improvements came along. You have to remember though i've only been working on this for a year now. I started the basic colour correction and made the first trailer in Feb 08, yeh, but i hadn't even finished the DVD version of ANH:R back then so didn't start on it properly until about June/ July. ANH:R took me over 2 years to complete. Even with all the extra work this is still going to be ready by May 2010 at the latest. So again a 2 year project.
If i offer another clip for donators i will get accused of bribery to get people to donate again and that was never my intention. You say you are willing to donate quite a bit more but you want a clip in return. Well you do realise that the donations are enabling me to get this all done a lot quicker anyway instead of having to wait for me to save up for months to get a few items. Although there won't be any more proper clips to come before its release i did say that i will be posting behind the scenes video blogs so you will be getting new footage but not having enough funds to get everything needed to get this edit finished is what is slowing me down. Most days i have been working over 16 hours a day. i couldn't possibly have gone any faster than i have been without having a breakdown. But i find it unfair for you to keep dangling a donation in front of me when you know just how desperate i am for funds for this edit.
I have posted many more clips and snapshot previews of ESB:R than i ever did for ANH:R. I really want to keep all of the rest of the edit a secret until its ready to be released.

Haha. Knowing Ady, he'd be much happier building an entire snowspeeder and running it on cables than doing it in 3d. :)
Sure thing. I just said that to support 3d :)
Dont start if its accurate or not. i just find a pic and place it there. also i put both flaps/wings whatever to show how can be.

you see, that demonstrates just how little of the flap i would need to build. you can't see the insides of the flap compartment so just a basic flap and film it. It really wouldn't take me much more time to add this, maybe a week or 2 at the most.
