The dub doesn't sound like an improvement to me...

Actually, I'll just go ahead and say it, it sounds worse.

As far as the recut itself goes, it's very well done. But I'm not sure if the mood the new music creates fits with the actual plot.

Listen to the original, watch the orginal, then tell me lol. Have you read this thread, it will fit with THIS plot. And the audio/voice over is still being worked on. Im uploading some clips I still have to rapidshare, see if anyone whats to take a crack at color correction.

Im sure you have seen these.

Well actually thats trooperman voice that he recorded himself.

Compare it to this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tMqLoIUnrgc&feature=PlayList&p=3383C79A7250A146&playnext=1&playnext_from=PL&index=15

I didn't mind the voice, it's just that it feels a little too...direct, maybe? Like someone sitting in a room recording themselves with silence around, rather than in a noisy bar. ;)

Paul is working on the audio....I least I hope ;]

Well i have had the pleasure of seeing the entire cut of troopermans SOTDS and i loved it. We worked together on a couple of scenes where i was mixing the audio and it was such a shame I had to pull out of this project, but i just didn't have the time to work on an extra project of this size.

I still have the nightclub scene in very low res with the audio track we were working on at the time. I don't think that anyone apart from Trooperman and myself have ever seen this. It was still a work in progress and the audio was still rough

I also remember Trooperman saying that you helped with a very important FX shot for the climax, but said it was a secret :[

Has this edit at all inspired your prequal edit ady.

Wow, thanks for sharing that, Ady! :) That came out of nowhere.

 That was something that TM was struggling with.  He was getting close to fixing the problem, but I don't know how close he was to doing it.

That is what sunk this movie.  If I had a pro-quality Anakin dub, I'm sure it'd be done already.

I had a great first year of school.  Got out last month....we were on the trimester system so we went longer than most schools.  

It's been months since I've looked at this movie.  Looking back, it is good.  But it's even more clear to me that my own dub is too incongruous with the Hayden Christiansen character.  And this has been the main struggle.

In other bad news, PaulisDead will not be able to finish the movie as promised because of college, and heck, I don't blame him; that's why I stopped.  I'm just living a really different life right now than in high school.  

Paul HAS completed the movie up to where Obi-Wan jumps out the window.  We might put that out as a high quality download soon.  

The movie is good.  The ideas are good.  I don't even know how I came up with some of this stuff.  I could not repeat this edit today.  I wouldn't have bit off so much.  Paul calls it a "fan-edit masterpiece."  Adywan loved it as well.  I think Sluggo and Haslett saw it in various forms, too, and liked it.  

I want to send it out as-is.  If nothing else it'll make good conversation.  But, you'd lose the impact of seeing it finished, assuming that ever happens.  

I don't know what to do now.  I don't want to say that I'll finish it, because college is starting up in a couple months, and I don't want to spend my summer vacation banging my head on my keyboard trying to make my flawed dub work.  I think we need a new dub.

I don't know.  If I do wind up sending this out, please don't watch with friends.  Unfinished like this, it's just a curiosity, demonstrating the potential of Episode II.

I think I can safely speak for everyone (maybe even Josh!) in saying we'd appreciate seeing any full cut of the movie! And who knows, someone (maybe without as many time-consuming commitments) might see it and think 'I could really do something with this!'

Maybe a mix of the two could work?

Just to clarify...Ady's clip IS my clip.  The other clip is from an earlier version.

I know ;] I would be nice to hear more from you. So...hows life been.lol

Some how I din't see your message up there trooperman *facepalm* Anyways, we would love to see, or at least I would, a small portion of the beggining as you said. It's sad that Paul has to drop out, and I'm wondering how could finish it, I would if I could, but I cant lol.

Hopefully this all gets all worked out, but I will still wait.
