That means tho that i can put my input for what i am more interested and particularly good at.

Yes, but your post comes off as saying no one should talk about changes you aren't interested in or good at, which is why 005 pointed out this isn't your thread.

Now then...more Matt?

i proposed in the radical prequels thread to have the crawl text replaced with something like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HyE1V6Ac49Q&feature=related though obviously withought the moving background and perhaps the voice over intro could be something from Ep III (perhaps Obi-Wan/Yoda/Qui-Gon saying something that wouldnt spoil the Darth Vader/Lukes Father angle) and maybe having instead of the destruction of Krypton it could be something else (Jedi Temple or Anakin burning up, or something)


though i admit this would be very plagiarist and perhaps too un-starwars and hard to do

 here is a rough mockup that worked on for the past three days (the music is temp)

Weather you like it or not - it looks very cool. I like it! It's not exactly what I had in mind, but I like it.

Well, not sand, of course. I was just trying to give an example...

Think more, like, Superman opening - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1qHDWdGPomw

You see how those letters disappear with a little visual effect? What if every line in the opening crawl would do the same but backwards. At first it's kind of blurry but then you can see it clearly.

Do you get the idea?

Ok, I'm gonna try and explain my idea.

You see how in the Star Wars crawl every line appears from the bottom? It just slides over on the screen. Slowly. With no effects.

What if this line (destroy an entire planet), for example -

- instead of just sliding over there from the bottom - appeared more like this -

?

Of course the speed needs to be changed and probably the color, but you get the idea, right? The cool thing is that you can still have the crawl fade out in the horizon an keep the same music and opening scene. It's just the way those lines appear that changes.

Gotta give you credit for that one. Not too shabby. I really don't care to see it in a Star Wars film, but for the sake of just doing it, it's cool.

I always liked how star wars left their credits at the end of the film. I wish more movies would adopt this idea actually. The credits too often pull me out of the movie.

Can anyone please elaborate where is the location of the two officers that are watching the escape pod leaving from Tantive?

Are they facing down like the gunners of millennium falcon and defying gravity?

Can i assume tho to a strictly horizontal star wars universe that this can happen?

Also from directing pov do you think that shot is necessary when we get the same info later in the movie?

Should I can add more escape pods gets destroyed so the officers have the dilemma and the shot stays?

Or maybe have them shooting at it but they leave it because the miss enough times and it has no life forms?

I always thought they were looking at a viewscreen from a gun turret inside the hanger bay (say on one of the edges), hence the downward POV of the camera view (with these guns pointing downward vertically to protect the hanger from any unauthorized entries or escapes).

I've also read that what we are seeing is the main view screen from the Star Destroyer's bridge (or at least what was designed to be the bridge for ANH).

Thats a clue! thanks

So taking reference from a more ESB looking to ANH converted bridge is an option i think. A dark bridge with red lights instead of a bright one with blue hues?

 

Or just take the shot of our first catch of the day and alter it. thats the basic idea.

I don't usually trust these cutouts

Cutaway

but it makes sense to me that gunner control on the side of the ship would be able to track a pod fired out of the bottom of the ship if that is a view screen and not a window (as the scale seems to suggest).

Even so the room may be orientated to dip down (artificial gravity and all) so it could still be a window on the bottom of the hull (it's not very clear in the shot).

I don't think it's a bridge.

It seems to have little periscope style targeting scopes and the like.

It seems to be a specialised gunner control room and I imagine there may be many on a ship of that size.

I like the approach.

Still for some reason the pod goes to a wrong path.

It should go away from the camera/viewscreen.

Adding a shot of gunners like in ROTS is out of question.

Maybe take some footage from ROTJ when piet and an other guy examines the shuttle. ROTJ have many inconsistence with ESB for the matter bridges. we can take that sequence without showing faces or even darken the uniforms and we can tie the two episodes with more familiar environments :)

Generaly ANH pop up from the rest of the OT episodes. ROTJ follows ESB. Maybe we can aim to that.

Tried that Jedi clip earlier, but it doesn't look right, too long a shot over his shoulder....maybe need a shot from ESB SD crew in pit as an intro shot.

Angel I love all your mock-ups dude.

I'd love to see a couple more things doing to the Jawa landcrawler scene - since that always seemed kind of out of place in the movie for some strange reason.

Excellent work on those Jaitea. I can't even decide which one I like best as they all look pretty cool.

Do you think you might proceed to try one with the classic music and maybe a little bit of the crawl just to get a sense of how that would play?

I love that - but that's because I really like Superman Returns - well infact all the Superman movies 8)

Both SW and Superman not only share the master that is John Williams doing the music but they do the space thing really well.
