Quick question, Ady. Seeing as you're working with the HD source which is 23.97 fps, will you be applying the 4% PAL speedup to it to make it consistent with ANH:R? (which was sourced mainly from the PAL DVD, and therefore was 4% faster and 4% higher in pitch at 25 fps)
Consistency between episodes is something you seem to be striving for in these edits (e.g. the same shade of yellow in the opening crawls) It would be a real shame if the speed and pitch didn't match. Especially when it comes to the crawl music.
Apologies if this has been brought up before. I've read the entire thread but don't remember seeing anything on the subject.
The HD source is 25fps which already has had the speed-up applied. The NTSC conversion will be done exactly the same way as it was for ANH:R

ady are aware of this? http://www.thefoundry.co.uk/products/cameratracker/
It might solve some tracking problems you have :)

That plug-in would be exactly what i need if it does what it says. There is just no way i would be able to afford it as the funds dried up a long time ago

Not only the "ommhhh" from the special edition sounds like Vader through his mask, but in addition you really recognize James Earl Jones voice what is not the case of the old one.
I agree. The SE sounds more like vader rather a random arg from a dude. Besides the pre SE sounds like someones is spiting after he was smoking for 30 years.
If you all stacked with the pre SE arg i suggest adding a more robot effect to the voice like ady did in ANH:R? I still vote for the SE one
-Angel
they both sound like Vader/Jones, end of story, in fact the AAAAUUUUUUGGGGHHHHHH! sounds more like Vader/Jones to me
End of story? Mr arrogant strikes again
In fact the "augghhhh" sounds like he's throwing up in his helmet. If i can eliminate the gurgling effect then i'll probably be returning it back to its original state as the SE effect is just a repeat from a few seconds earlier.

I don't like new version of this shot:
In new version duel is getting lost in lights of the tunnel. Old version is better in this. Background in original is more dark for good of duel visibility. I think it's not good to fix background. I'm getting lost in all that lights of new version
You're seeing a very early version of that matte. The background did need changing because it doesn't match the colouring of the rest of the sequence. The lightsabers are overblown and the gantry matte doesn't match the studio set. Here is the finished version of the matte. As you can see there have been a few changes:

... A work based on this shot would be awesome, and it looks really like another famous shot I have in high res from this sequence. These are for me the true colours:
I hate to tell you A B C but you've been thinking that these are the tru colours from a very faded/ desaturated photograph. Here is the original photograph taken from the behind the magic CDROM:

Aren't these scenes in blue depth because on planet is getting late? Han and Luke stay outside over the night so.....
I give up. Why doesn't anybody ever bother reading the information on the Youtube videos before moaning about the blue depth of the revisited video.
And i'm not even going to get involved in the whole Leia debate apart from the fact that she was a leader even in ANH. She was never just some princess and showed leadership qualities during the escape from the detention cell. She took charge. Unless i was watching a completely different movie from you?
The people who have the new workprint will be able to vouch for the blue colouring and how much darker it appears in the proper video

It looks great in the whole scene.
And doubleofive would know, having seen the 'workprint'.
Hmmm. You should have been one of them. I sent you out a copy of it last week.

Adywan, give us an update on your health....here's hoping you are doing better and feeling good.
Well things are almost back to normal. I'm still on the tablets but the headaches have gone.
I've started back to work on ESB:R full time now. The workstation just needs the lights installing but i've got everything set back up so it's full steam ahead ( pictures/ video of the workstation coming next week). The model/ set building resumes at the weekend. I need to get some extra fur as my plans for the Wampa have changed slightly and i need to make a little extra than i was going to originally. I'd also totally forgot about the large slug mouth set i need to build so i've got to get extra materials to get this thing done. I've also been given a lead on getting a casting from the original mould of Harrison's face used for the carbon block so i can build the section of the block to replace the incorrect shirt. Main problem is that the funds dried up a while ago and i'm in desperate need of help with this. I'm just so eager to get stuck back into this after everything that has happened.
