Having seen some of Darth venal's matte work i can assure everyone here that they are amazing
Now onto mr ghostface
I think wires got a bit crossed when you said that the work i had done was "simple" I, along with others, thought you were talking about all the FX work using elements from the other movies. This is why i challenged you to show us what you can do if it was so easy. It seems now that you were talking about digital editing, which with todays software it is a pretty simple task once you get to know how to use the software. One thing that did surprise me however was how you seemed to slate fan edits and editors and that the things we are doing is highly illegal ,yet it now comes to light that you are working on an edit yourself.
i have no problem with you or what you said in here whatsoever. And i really look forward to see your video work. But you do need to cut out a bit of the "holier than thou" type of attitude you started to show ,mr Ghostface if you are planning on doing an edit and sharing amongst people here. I was very surprised how disrespectful you came across towards me and my work when you heaped praise upon my work when you asked for help with your work with Darth Venal. When you are doing an edit of the Star Wars films you will need to be able to take a hell of a lot of flack from people who don't agree with things you are doing. You'd be amazed at some of the hateful emails and Pm i have got just from doing ANH:R. You just learn to accept it. Hell i even received a few death threats but none of that is stopping me doing what i want. No one in their right mind would think that they can produce something that 100% of the people will like cuz that will never happen.
These edits are just my visions, as are the edits of the other fan editors. They are never meant to replace the original 70's & 80's versions. They are just a fun alternative.
best of luck with your edit. One thing you will realise as you progress though is that it isn't as easy as you think. If you are creating new shots with mattes, CG or even using existing elements from other footage that getting the shots finished is one thing, and thats hard enough, but getting them to fit in with the existing footage is another. it really isn't that simple.
