Thanks rcb! Care to elaborate? I'm open to criticism and even more open to compliments :)
It would be a lot easier doing a lot of the things i want to do if we had an isolated voice track available. As it is at the moment, cutting the dialogue messes with the music as they are usually together on the center audio channel.
That, along with my desire to add real model shots to replace much of the cgi (and having none of the expertise or resources to do so) are my main obstacles.
As well as the wooden acting and generally poor story :)
Two more clips:
I like the Obi-Wan/Dooku thing, but there's still Obi-Wan's unexplained hostility. Dooku just told him they would destroy the Sith, yet Obi-Wan goes all "I'll never join you!" as if he had just been told Dooku planned to gain world domination with a laser on the moon and extort the UN for one million dollars. It always sat wrong with me.
I'm not sure about Jar Jar, I kinda like the way Palpatine manipulates him into giving him emergency powers. To great contrast with the terrible "manipulation 101" of ROTS. In fact it's subtle enough I didn't even notice what was actually going on until like the 4th or 5th viewing.
Besides, doesn't the plot kinda break down if the army is already created? Padme has no reason to go to coruscant as the vote has already been passed and then there's no first quarter of the film.
