I'm assuming that is the cause of the difficulties which occur when you quote posts which were created before the switch-off.

I had an issue not so long ago here that turned out to be a very nasty virus that wiped out one of my hard drives in the following days. May i suggest a virus scan just incase?

Please don't share it with anyone or post it anywhere please. You can discuss it here but please don't post screencaps

 

WOW!  The 'asteroid chase' sequence was always a highlight of the movie for me, and your latest exclusive New Year preview is sheer awesomeness.

It had some brilliant tweaks I wasn't expecting, and the stuff I was hoping to see has turned out wonderfully.  Everything done so far has made this great effects sequence far, far better.

Incredible stuff Adywan!  :)  I've sent you a PM about it all.

It's a testament to the vibrancy of that clip that my better half who detests all things Star Wars leaned over my shoulder to remark about how enjoyable it was.

At the core you have the original artists work, the cameramen, the model makers, the set builders,the lighting, the sound, the music, the photographers, that cast and yes the writers but Ady's work is so much more than a new frame and a dusting down of the canvas.

It looks brand new in a way I don't think even Ady himself anticipated when he set out to do ESB:R.

It's the best film, surely it's the easiest right?

Sure it's frustrating to wait but I'm so glad that he is taking the time to get this right.

And I'm sure he is learning as he is going along.

Let's face it he will need all the patience and every hard earned skill to make the next four hold a candle to what he has already done.

The only thing that bugs me about the Star Wars movies that I don't think anyone addressed is the lack of visible glass paneling over starship windows. Because of the compositing techniques available at the time they look more like openings than windows

To me it's plainly a matter of realism. It actually takes me out of the movie sometimes.

Well you can clearly see in many hangar shots that the cockpits are made out of somewhat reflective material. Even a relatively matte surface would show some glare/gloss. It would even be cool to see scratches on the windows.

You mentioned you were itching to get back to ESB:R a few posts ago... is there anything holding you up (lack of money?  time?).

It was to do with his monitor packing in.  However, Jacen has kindly posted him a good replacement from abroad recently.

As far as the 'reflections/scratches' thing on cockpits etc., while it may have been a nice touch if introduced from the start of the 'Revisited' edits, I wouldn't like to see an inconsistency with 'Star Wars:Revisited'....

And it would have been an incredible amount of work to include I reckon, considering the amount of various shots we see out of different craft throughout these movies.

If I were allowed to do a comparison (can't because of Ady's "no screenshots" clause), I really don't think static images would do it justice.

I know what would.

Vibrant description, preferabbly in iambic pentameter.

Paint us a word picture of this great new clip!

Thanks for the positive feedback folks!

A thing I had been working on for a while which kind of coincidently ties into Octorox's reflection comment, was Leia's apartment in Bespin.

I know that this topic was talked about at great length, about it's look, it's design, reflections and it's impossible shaped room which changes from shot to shot. I was just bothered by its lack of life, especially after following the Cloud-car in the previous shot and the frame stands still long enough for you to admire the obvious matte painting. I don't know what Ady has come up with, but I'm sure he's added something to this.

I still might fix a few bits, I might tighten up the Cloud Car flying by the window to cover the original Car you can see in the window, but as it is, it looks like it is the Car's reflection, maybe also add a shadow of the Car on Leia's building, like the original shot. I didn't like the Original Car, to me it looked out of scale?? dunno??

Hello all,

Been forever since I posted...but I have been keeping up in reading. Just nothing interesting to say.

Great work Jaitea. The scaling was really well done I had to look at it a few times.

I don't think I'm supposed to.  But I'd love to do it - it would be magical.  You would be so transfixed by my words, you would eventually forget about the clip itself, and everything else would just fade away as the sound of my voice...

I'm sorry, what were we talking about?
