Here's a sample clip of how the scene with Yoda, just before Luke enters the tree, could be re-edited so as to allow Yoda more time to move from the ground to the fallen tree stump.
It's pretty rough, but it conveys the general idea. My apologies for the screwed-up aspect ratio as well.
Of course!! That's terrific corellian77, and I think that's a great solution....which actually adds a little 'something'.
It was so good to see that scene play out without being jarring! If Adywan ends up doing something like that, then I'd be more than happy. It certainly gets my vote.
Nice one. :)
corellian77, while I'd take your version over the current 'jarring' one of Yoda 'suddenly atop the log' anyday of the week....I just wonder if the new direct cut you've made between the 'close-up' of Luke beginning to take the sack off his back, to the one where he's then seen having placed Yoda on the ground....is itself just a little 'jarring'? (Although not anywhere as 'jarring' as the current scene of course!)
The shot of R2 that you've now moved to a little later in your scene was what was used to make the transition between the above shots smoother of course....so if Adywan does agree with your concept of re-arranging shots to show just a little bit more time between the transition of Yoda 'on the ground' and then 'atop the log' suddenly....but wants to keep that particular 'flow' of shots and sound effects as it is at that point, then here's another variation that might be a possibility that would also work well to smooth things -
1. Keep the shot of R2 where it currently is in the movie, but when the following shot of 'Luke placing Yoda on ground then eventually taking his tunic off root branch' ends....
2. ....cut instead to R2 again by using a RE-USE of the brief R2 'close-up' that is seen approx. 3 mins. later near the very end of the whole 'Luke confronting Vader in cave' sequence....
3. ....then cut to the shot of 'Yoda atop log' at this point, before continuing on as normal.
Even if this RE-USE was placed here, I reckon it would be far enough away (approx. 3 mins.) from the other one at the end of the whole sequence for it to not be 'jarring', as there is plenty of action in-between them both.
In addition, Adywan could alter the look of the 'flashing' red/blue light a little, and also alter any 'whistles' that R2 makes in the RE-USED shot, which would help to differentiate them from each other.
Just throwing out an alternative, as I'd like to see something done here. :)
