Haven't been able to be around for the last few weeks, but have just got up to speed again, and wanted to say that your latest 'Cloud City approach' preview shot is looking awesome so far Adywan!  Terrific work as always, and I'll look forward to the finished version eventually.

 

Anyway, in addition to the various existing 'HOTH' flipped shots that I covered in this post at the New Year - http://originaltrilogy.com/forum/topic.cfm/STAR-WARS-EP-V-REVISITED-EDITION-ADYWAN-NEW-TRAILER-AVAILABLE-NOW/post/390469/#TopicPost390469 , I thought I'd show the 'DAGOBAH' flipped shot now, prompted by this recent comparison of Yoda by vaderios.

Although there were a few comments on how different the 'prequel' design looks compared to the 'original', no-one mentioned that the CGI Yoda head is 'reversed' the wrong way round in this mock-up here....  Thing is, Yoda's ears are very different to each other, with his right ear being somewhat 'straight', while his left ear is distinctly 'curved'.

Because the 'prequel' head seems to be the the wrong way round in this example, the differences are exaggerated even more than they should be I reckon -

....another noticeable non-symmetrical feature is the large 'spot' clearly seen on the left of Yoda's brow here -

....okay then, here's the shot of Yoda that is 'flipped'....it seems to just be this one, and it's where he gets up after falling during Luke's training....  (note the shape of the ears and garments in comparison with before and after shots of Yoda in the movie)

....I've included the shots of Luke to put it in context...but I'd personally prefer for this Yoda shot to be re-'flipped' too, as it will still seem that he is somewhere to the side of where Luke is glancing....  We soon get used to re-'flipped' shots anyway.

I'll be covering a lot more to do with certain 'Dagobah' stuff when I get the chance.
