Looking good so far.. still can't say I care for the extra Wampa footage.  I liked the glimpses of the Wampa as it is approaching per the original, as (at least for me) it added to the suspense that the Wampa was relatively far away and moving to Luke.  With the SE, the Wampa is right there almost eyeballing him, which makes you wonder why it takes so long to rush up on Luke much less where the wailing is coming from if his mouth is full.

And I know it's beating a dead horse (or Taun Taun?) but I can't believe NOTHING can be done with Han's TT, be it a fast eye blink or the eyes looking around a bit, as opposed to simply straight ahead with that dead puppet stare.  At the same time, I know it's easier said than done.  The comparisons 005 put up are still boggling my mind as to how you did 'em...

The wampa footage was only added to fill the gaps really. The shots will be nothing like that when its all finished. I want to keep it as close to the original pre-SE pacing and mystery as possible

The problem with the taun taun is the erratic movement. It is a nightmare to track to do anything with

Ok so I was watching the clip again....do my eyes deceive me? Are some of those last few shots trimmed a bit? Specifically the shot of Luke falling? If i'm right, it probably has to do with the new shots and getting it to sync with the music...?

Anyone care to put up a split screen video?  :D

No, none of the last few shots have been trimmed. I just removed the shot of the Wampa in pain.

Ah! Thanks Ady.

I meant to say thank you for throwing us a few new bones recently!  :D

Your 'zoom-in' concept was neat vaderios, but I reckon the (now improved) existing shot establishes a better impact of the 'vast scale' of the vegetation that Luke has landed in, as you can still make out a clearer sense of the surrounding details in it. 

Adywan has mentioned that he is planning on altering the 'angle' of the tiny X-Wing in the shot still, and it will be good to get some consistency with the live-action X-Wing in the shots that follow....since I used to always think that we were seeing the rear of the X-Wing in this shot due to it's wing 'angle', and thought that the 'front lights' seen on the 'prop' had been badly placed here....

It will be good to see this clarified either way.

I didnt care about the angle in this mockup Impfighter just to show a better concept of thin fog and better mood to the shot.

Besides the "details" you are referring are black forms like walls. Sorry but at least define shapes...

Im with ady like i said to add fog, but its not working like he put it IMO always.

I cant really think other shit to make that matte more interesting and mysterious and less revealing as well... trying to improve the black forms at the sametime...

That shot is still a work in progress anyway. There's still a hell of a lot to add to it. But you really need to see it in motion and in context with the following shots. The fog in your mock-up is just too dense. The way i am doing it is adding the mist layers which then will match the shots that follow.

Its really strange because i can no longer download it either. But, upon checking on my account, the file has been downloaded 16 times so far so somebody has been able to download it

 Just seen it thanks for that looks awesome

Lovin this project. It's blowing my mind big time

Vaderios, thanks for the excellent mock ups you've posted recently.  I was about to say that I liked your Dagobah / X-wing reveal shots, but that I'd leave out the zoom effect and just have the heavy fog roll away... but then Ady announced that it's already being dealt with, so that's good with me.

Ady, loving the shots/clips you've been sharing.  I'm very impressed by the shot of Luke setting Yoda down on the log on Dagobah... amazing fix.

After reviewing your recent posts, I'm thinking you need to change your sig to "It's been fixed." :)

i can't believe no one is talking about the new cloud city matte

which i find to be the best shot so far though by the way ady? is this still an unfinished shotcause it looks a little bit unfinished.

maybe it's just me

No, that shot is finished. Don't forget you are seeing it at low resolution and without any motion. One thing that's always bugged me about the SE/DVD version is that the Falcon looks like its going to fly right over Cloud City instead of into it.

Haha, I thought we'd see the April 1st Wampa as well. I love your Barrack themed Ackbar signature, Angel.

Does anyone here have a full X-Wing pilots uniform and access to a video camera? I need someone to play Luke for a distant shot in the Hoth battle

Wat.......Good one, your a funny man ady, a funny man. But in all seriousness, are you serious? what are you trying to pull off?

Wow, this sounds awesome. Anyone want to be in a movie?

There's a few shots where Luke should be seen running away from the AT-AT he destroys.  I assume Ady want to have someone run away and he can shrink them and put them in the proper area.

OMG ! I would have said yes !! I have a new HD-cam but alas no suit...

Any takers?

I not I am sure the 501st legion Uk could be of some use, they know ppl everywhere with all sorts of suits.

According to someone I talked to, the 501st has been asked not to formally support Ady.  Not sure how high up that order came from, but its interesting to know.  I'm sure someone can help anonymously though.

ALSO:

Blessed continuity, though the Luke reaching up shot could use some tweaking (the ice on the left seems stretched and his feet may have changed position).  I hate to point it out, but I have to.

What? o.0

How could one give such a negative answer?

thats just wrong, I hope it aint true, this all is after all "just" a fan edit. It's not like ady here is competing with Mr Lucas.
