Can't wait to see what Adywan has decided to do with his whole Vane sequence eventually....

well originally it was going to be done in a similar way to Darth Editous' brilliant concept (BmB, how the hell can you say that it wasn't done well, especially how good that shot looks and i doubt thats even his finished version), but ever since DE showed everyone how he had done it i really needed to go down a different route or it will just look like i was copying his idea. I'm heading for a large model of the shaft and vane but will be a longer zoom in shot blending in the matte shot and the shot where luke walks towards the entrance.

Looking at the matte shot it really does make the vane look really thin, but when we see it from underneath we can see that it is a lot fatter than we originally thought. The other thing to fix in those scenes is the position of the window. It keeps changing its position and is way to low down after the first matte zoom shot

If you didn't use something just because someone else did it, you'll be doing this edit for a looooong time. ;-)

But seriously, unless you are redesigning the vane from scratch, I'm sure DE won't be offending if you use his idea.
