Oh wow, now I see it everytime I watch it...
I posted this ages ago now, just after i posted the clip
There's another shot in the clip that is unfinished and that one is when Luke walks away from Yoda. The shot is actually finished but it was accidentally left out from this clip because i had the layer it was on in Vegas disabled when rendering. Not a biggie really but the floor replacement to cover the moving floor isn't complete in the online version.
And i've updated the download link in that post because Hotfile.com deleted the original for some reason.

Ady, I respect your decisions but I urge you to reconsider. The X-Wing couldn't have possibly sunk so much in such a short span of time when it was fine just a moment ago - making it start to sink in the first shot would make it more believeable. And about Yoda's eyes, it looks odd to me that Yoda's left eye takes about 2 seconds longer to close than his right eye, why would he close them separately? What's more, he never actually fully closes his left eye, which I believe was a puppeteering mistake. Also, in that same shot, the camera makes a jerky motion after Yoda closes his eyes and before he lowers his head, can this be smoothed out? This happens at 1:56 in the .mkv video.
Sorry, but i really don't see it as a problem so i'm not going to reconsider.The ship could easily have sunk in that amount of time. Showing signs of it sinking that early is unnecessary. In the scene you're supposed to be concentrating on Luke's training and if you showed something happening to the X-wing, then your attention is shifted. And again with Yodas eyes when closing them. Yoda's really old. there are a lot of old people who have one eye that doesn't close as quick as the other, or even close fully. So i don't see this as a problem
The jerky camera movement recently mentions i'm not going to touch. It isn't something as simple as just stabilising the video. Look closely and you can see that Yoda doesn't move, but the background shifts due to the camera. Now if i stabilized the background then suddenly Yoda would move for no reason. I don't see things like this as a problem, so no work to do on that.
