I guess it works since FOX aren't really presenting this thing. A simple swap out.
^ looks good.
Could also be interesting to do them with a distinct environmental look as suggested, ice for empire [hoth] etc...
Which reminds me after the analysis of Impfighter, that the shadow shots of AT-ATs can be reversed to match the sun's position.
I dont think there are many...

Hey Adywan, you might already know about these, but this site has some great high resolution scans of the original 70mm reels;
Maybe you can use these for colour calibration?

Well those last couple of ROTJ screenies aren't the greatest, but I think the other screenshots are quite nice.
Also, I know that Adywan is using the 97SE LD AC3 track as a basis for this project, but how about the 70mm 6 track? Has that thing ever been captured digitally and uploaded here?
And would it be possible to have a sample of the LD surround track? I actually own the Definitive Collector's OT box, the 95 "Faces" LDs and the 97 Special Edition OT box, all brand spanking new. Problem is I don't have a LD player, I wanted to buy one of those Pioneer X0 or X9 ones, and I found a Japanese seller but they were over $2000 and I didn't have the money back then. I don't think I'll ever be able to play my Star Wars LaserDiscs. So it'd be great if the 5.1 soundtrack was uploaded somewhere for me to listen to :)

Damn it angel. I was working on a cold Hoth one.

No, but the '93 mix is mostly based on the 70mm 6-track. A comparison is discussed here.

I really wanted to make it as blue as possible, but I kept myself from it.

Awesome into videos, I can't wait to see the final one.

It might be fun as a slab of Carbonite coming out of a giant freezing chamber with all the steam and directed lights too or even half submerged in the swamps of Dagobah (a bit like the Planet Of The Apes Statue OF Liberty).
It could also be covered in cracks and craters and rolling in the asteroid field lit up by TIE lasers.

Did you make this using the top of Sky's monument and the bottom of the 20th Century one?
Oh, good "jorb" btw!

Great work. Would love to see the logo iced over à la "Silent Hill: Shattered Memories."

Hi GUYS thanks for your compliments regarding that Intro thing I did.
OMG Sky! I just realized that you added a sample of the 20th Century Fanfare's drum-roll to the pickups of each measure in the Imperial March. That's so F-ing clever! Bravo sir, bravo!
(Sorry, the band geek in me needed to come out for a second.)

Does anyone know how much difference (in dB) there is qua dynamic range between the 2004 and 97 soundtrack?
I'd also like to know if the quality between these two soundtracks is noticeably different? Is the 97SE AC3 really that good?

OK this pic has knocked me off track now
if I can Get even close the 3D to look like 10% of this I'm Laughing
Im gonna have to re-evaluate my skills,
Shit man that just looks awesome man.
as Always Angel love your mock ups
send me them bespin back drop or anything you think I can work with
im gonna do a search on Bespin Star wars or if anyone knows any
SKY
Check the link i gave you before^
It has many buildings from most of the SW planets :D
I will PM the backdrops but its only for 2D use.
It will take some time to set the scene and render it properly. Hoping for multiple passes for better compositing :D

As cool as I think this new Adywan logo looks, for originality and consistency's sake, I prefer the old one. I would much prefer to have the same logo as in ANH:R but with a slightly different theme to it. I think it has more of an impact than something that's a rip off of an existing iconic logo.
Just my opinion.

After thinking about the "new" logo, I agree 100% with brash. The "original" logo was unique to Ady, and just needs a more ESB-er theme and its set just the way it is.

so although the 'scaling' issues may have to slide, I reckon things would have tied better together if we could at least have seen the brief hint of an 'opposing leg-joint' coming in-and-out-and-in-again added during the approximate 5 seconds of 'prop' footage where Luke swipes upwards with his lightsaber....since the shot seems to show the AT-AT 'lurching forward' in motion slightly, and has matching sound effects already in place....
Great post Imp :) I like the idea…
If I get you well you're postulating that the two joints on this picture are moving nearer and further to one another as the ATAT walks, right?
Unfortunately, as I understand the working of an ATAT, it's not the case…
I think these two joints only rotate on themselves and stays exactly at the place they are in this picture, plus you never see those joints doing the movement you suggest in wider shots. So the forward joint should always be visible in the prop shots with Luke, just like Angel's mockup…
PS: BTW I've posted some ATAT discrepancy stuff on my thread:

Buy the prop maybe? :P

Gah! I wish i could see this a few posts before... i could save some hours of my life :P

Have to agree that I like the idea of the original 'Adywan' logo intro. being used in all the edits eventually too, certainly as far as the lettering itself appears, if not the background. And I'd be happy to keep hearing an 'Imperial March' cue whenever it appears too.
I remember one of my sons saying it was really cool when he first saw it. :)
Your version was still worth seeing though vaderios!

Nope. What I was mainly trying to get across was the subtle 'back-and-forth' movement that the actual camera shot has during that particular 5 seconds of footage....which would allow for a very subtle 'sliver' of another 'leg-joint' coming into the left-side of the frame a couple of times to match that subtle camera movement.
It's just a possible subtle addition that would take advantage of this slight camera movement, which would perhaps help to improve the discrepancies of the full-sized 'prop' a little. Even If this was done to match the slight camera movement as I described, the gap between the added 'sliver' and the existing 'leg-joint' would still be further apart than it is on the miniatures.
So the distance between the 'leg-joints' would still stay at an equal distance from each other in the shot, as you point out. That's what I was trying to get across, and the timing of the camera movement seems to allow for it.
Oh sorry I got it wrong 
it seems my English needs some improvements
