I made this mockup for an other reason showing how can be the shot with the other leg things
I know in motion cant be done... The shot doesnt help/support these enhancements
Adywan, as vaderios said a while back, the 'moving' shots involving the underneath of the AT-AT are unlikely to end up similar to his mock-up in your edit....which is a pity, as his version is a little closer to how the full-sized 'prop' should have looked to match the miniature's detail and proportions better in the first place....
But I realise that this could end up as one of those inconsistencies that pretty much has to remain as it stands, since this seems a tricky one to fix using the existing footage.
However, there is a little bit of 'camera movement' during this scene that I previously brought up, which I always thought could be used to improve things a little....but since it proved to be too confusing to describe properly at the time without a sequence of screenshots, I've now asked doubleofive for some mock-ups to help get across the 'motion' I was meaning, in a more effective way this time. (many thanks once again doubleofive)
This will need to be covered over 2 posts, and I'll recap on some of the mis-matches for the sake of everyone -
Firstly, here's how the detailing ended up looking on the suspiciously-small, single 'leg-joint' prop....
....which is very different to the how the 'leg-joint' detailing on the miniatures looked....
....and although a little blurry, this arrowed shot below (when the Speeders first pass the leading AT-AT) shows that the vertical/horizontal detailing on an AT-AT's 'overhanging side flap' should be centred on it....unlike how the full-sized 'prop turned out, where it is wrongly off-centred.... Also, when this particular shot is 'paused' at just the right moment (just as the last Speeder goes off-screen), the detail on the rounded ends of the 'leg-joints' can be more clearly seen, and are confirmed to be nothing like how the 'prop' details ended up....
....and reveals that the 'prop' should instead have more closely matched the onscreen miniature's 'leg-joint' details and proportions seen in these 'Master Replica' examples below -
(Here are links to many other good 'Master Replicas' AT-AT views too, by the way - http://www.rebelscum.com/mratat.asp and http://www.rebelscum.com/mratatv1.asp and http://www.rebelscum.com/mratatv2.asp)
