Unfortunately that reveal shot is going. The sun is behind the city whereas in every other shot the sun is facing the city (as has been discussed before) and you can see from the new close-up city matte as the falcon approaches the sun will be facing the city. So this shot has to go as it stands now. Even though i have always loved that shot myself it just doesn't work within the edit now but i will be replacing it with a new reveal shot which will still have the city in the distance
The window will be seen in all shots that it was missing in the SE
Good to see you back Adywan, and thanks for the confirmation.
I'm sorry to see that the 'sunrise' in the small, distant Cloud City reveal is going....even though I agree with the point about the 'lighting' issues.
In this particular case, I guess I was happy to overlook the 'continuity' problem of this 'twin sun' system shot, due to the atmospheric beauty of the it. Still, 'continuity' counts for a lot where possible, and I know your final shot will turn out great regardless.
....and the additional background 'elevator' windows are going to look terrific I'm sure! :)
