It looks like I missed my show. I wanted to catch an old smokey noir pic based upon 'THE CATCHER IN THE RYE'. I was going to see if it was an influence upon the OT.
I better finish up ROTJ and ESB instead.
Snootles! They took that simple form, went to work, and when we got our ALF back she was great animation. The only part I don't care for is when the muppet jumps forward and tries to swallow the camera. Maybe stay on Jabba or the singers to cover that bit?
In the ROTJ star battle, I was interested in creating a sense of great peril for our main characters. I imagined interior shots of the Bothan spy ship and dialogue like: ENGINEER "HYPERDRIVE IS BEYOND REPAIR!" COMMS "INFORMATION IS ENCODED!" CAPTAIN "TRANSMIT NOW!" Then the ship is destroyed. Just something to make us care about their struggle-But not too much. That would require building a bridge and maybe part of an engineering section to LFL '82 production values and hiring a crew of actors. I see fan-editors are doing some wild things- So I thought I'd just throw that out there :)
In the ESB star battle, 'Great damage and then jump to hyperspace with a SD jumping after it' was the original "Fate Unknown." I think it could work either way.
The ESB rad edits: Cobble some Fisher audio and pipe it over Luke's scout comm to show her having concern for Luke at the outset. Something like "It will be dark soon Luke, hurry back." Take a cut from 'The closing of the doors', change the lighting and background somewhat to show Leia gazing at Luke's speeder launch. Take a cut from first sight of the CC where Leia is looking up from a console, change some elements and show Leia reacting to Luke's name being called over the comms during the walker battle. If usable 'Cloud City Lounge' shots of Han and Leia expressing concern for Luke become available.... Heck, at this point, I'd settle for "Hey Luke, your shoe's untied." (I was floating my more "tame" trial balloons back in the ESB:R thread. Sorry 'bout that 8-/ )
About my last post in the ESB:R thread, I had the sense that I was communicating with a few serious fan-edit types. People who would immediately and fully comprehend my meaning in "Kersh is truly brilliant." I'd want any casual passing viewers to understand my comprehension. I know that creating such an exquisite masterwork, the greatest monochromatic film ever shot in full color, to make it so deeply moving without giving it a conclusion, to craft it so it can stand alone....
I was trying to make everyone happy in this thread. It seems like people here are divided into camps in ways I can't begin to understand. 'SPLINTER' is about all I know of the EU. I was trying to respond to various posts, in kind, to deal with the concerns of others. I know what it means to have favorite icons and sequences. If I stepped on any toes, it was only because I was moving in great darkness, very early in the morning or when I was rushed, and with no idea where the toes were. Sincerest apologies!
Thank you for all you are doing for the films I loved so much when I was young!
BEST WISHES AND MAY THE FORCE BE WITH YOU :)
