Looks awesome, would of done had some colour where the explosions were though, just small blue glow effect or something like that, to show its like a shield. Something like this but not as dramatic.

I want to avoid clishe sci fi effects. Show energy/glow/bubble is not star wars.

Star wars always had invisible force fields and worked best rather having visible shields..

PT messed that up in some places..

 Thats true to be honest Angel. All PT's fault, its mentally effected my judgement, my OT if I did one would be more like the PT knowing my luck. haha. Be glad im not doing any editing

Thanks^ :)

So Why this instead of that..

SE vader's arrival is an example of how a shot can be more dynamic rather centered boring and with lack of good perspective and shuttle's animation..

Going with my mockup that deathstar's hangar section has vastness depth (which it should have been like that for the sake of the size of the station) we will not be able to see the exterior..

If we follow the matte of the movie then we have a promlem with the original shot..

So:

Third pic has the window for a more original approach lol

Angel

Thanks DE i missed that :)

I owe you one ;)

Also From Bingo to Bingo, to all of you..

Make that crap set more like ANH.. red or without red

-Angel

It is upside down... It works that way too

The ranks i cant do much for them since if there is no way to make them in motion.. so.. :(

-Angel

Im losing the point of the joke here? :O

-Angel

Besides that i dont think is so in your face the upside down, right?

It can work in the other shots too :D

Plus thinking adding a bigger view screen to jarjarzod when he fires the gun.

Similar to ANH but bigger and more wide..revisiting my old mockup..

You can be a few pixels out with a mask on a still and it will go unnoticed, but if that mask shifts by another few pixels on the next frame, even if it still looks great by itself, the motion-detection bit of your brain will light up like a Christmas tree. It's a constant back-and-forth - adjust frame 2 to match frame 1, then you'll need to adjust frame 3 to match frame 4, only to find you can't maintain that into frame 4, so you have to go back through the frames again...

It's one thing do a nice mock like Angel seems to spend most of his waking life doing

True.. the maskin work is pain.. Ady said that even the simpler shots need over 3 days of work.. (thiniking back what her did in the smoke hoth shot)

No David, you havent seen yet what i can do in my sleep ;D :D

Here is a hit.. 

Now i see that the curvature of the upside down gives a more advanced look rather have straight lines.. now ofc you are right that it needs more work to make it more correct but it worked well. Curves vs straight lines always win :D

It is very funny. It looks very much like 1977 Star Wars, but it looks newer than the original ROTJ. Good god, that is a black hole inside a black hole.

Way to add life to that set.

The term we learned in film school is "crossing the axis," which is when the audience's eyes are moving in one direction, when suddenly they are forced to move in another. It's something that we should try to avoid, which is why sometimes a director will opt to flip a shot even if it means inconsistencies. An error like a strap on the wrong side of a character is a minor nuisance compared to how badly crossing the axis takes the viewer out of the experience.

 What he said!  :P   Yeah, I should probably read up more on my film terminology!  :D

Thanks for the feedback on the video guys! Even though it would still need more sound work, I love that the music is now very clear and not so muddy like it originally was.   :P

The direction of the shot should be sorted without resorting to flipping.

Either film new elements or turn as much of the existing element so the inconsistency isn't so obvious.

 I certainly agree there. I think Adywan did that with a few shots in ANH and ESB already...didn't he?

He flipped the entire sequence after Han and Co arrive at Yavin (at least a minute straight of flipped footage!) and he flipped some shots on Hoth of Han cutting the TaunTaun so that its feet and arms didn't change position between shots.

3 versions to choose from:

Still searching for suitable BG..

I like the idea of it overlooking the superlaser (though I think the angle is all wrong currently), but I've always imagined him pointing at the Rebel fleet, or a targeting screen.  Or when I'm being stupid, a picture of Will Riker on the Enterprise ("Fire at Will, Commander!")
