I would also consider when making the explosion to have the explosion burst towards the rear of the video picture, as the SD is moving forward (ie when a plane explodes in midair, the fireball extends across the sky as the plane [or what's left of it] continues moving forward).

Isn't that more because of a movement's relation to gravity, which space doesn't have?

Physics still exists in space (for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction).  You still have to take into account that the Star Destroyer (while weightless in space) still has mass, which would be knocked to the side from such a tremendous physical impact. 

Think of it like bumper cars, if the cars were as big as football stadiums.

______________

Overall it IS an improvement, but I don't want to make superficial points.  The SD explosion via asteroid I can go either way... maybe some more tweaking such as having the Star Destroyer react more to the impact would help, or just making the explosion more opaque on the left so it doesn't look AS overlayed.

And I also understand the situation regarding the Emperor hologram.. there is only so much one person can do, much less on a regular home PC.  I'd just rather it be more subtle, as the flickering takes me out of the scene (and Bingo: they're out of the asteroid field so there wouldn't be any interference).

The blinks I would like to see, as it would be a nice nod to the original scene, much less take care of the "lifeless" upper part of the face that others have an issue with.  I think that if the eyelid area of the original Emperor holo was kept and overlayed, nothing would have to be done with the eyebrows or forehead.

Here are some comparison links:

Adywans latest clip

Original version with Clive Revill (with Ian McDairmond's voice)

2004 version (this has the slow fade as opposed to the "scooby doo" wave)

One last thing regarding the holo-kneel pad when Vader is talking to the 3 SD captains:

I can see why it isn't in the picture (at the 0:28 mark), as at 0:30 you can see that the kneel pad is BEHIND the 3.... I mean 2 holograms of the captains (which means it would be off-screen to the bottom left in the shot at 0:28).

______________________

Okay, I'm warming up to it... ESPECIALLY after just watching the 2004 clip (jeez, the color correction alone destroys the 2004 version).  I can see the slow blink when the Emperor says "yes....YES" if it was to be added anywhere.  Maybe make the hologram intro and pulsing slightly subtler, and maybe show the SD start to slide towards the bottom left and away from us (to show mass displacement from the impact), but overall I can dig it...

You will see it has had a few tweaks since the last video. But this is the final version. I will not be doing any more work on it.

Your version looks SO MUCH BETTER.

Absolutely, but am I right in thinking the 'interference' lines seem more prominent now compared to your previous version adywan, or is it just a Youtube thing?  The 'interference' effect seem to be subtler in the previous clip, but it may just be me.

I've no idea how anyone could be less than delighted with what they saw yesterday, to begin with, considering the final soundtrack wasn't in place yet.  It was awesome work.

I haven't touched the "interference" effect. It's exactly the same as the previous video

Looks awesome, although I noticed that you shifted his gaze and now the Emperor looks slightly crosseyed. Or is that just me?

it's just you. the emperor is looking directly ahead and slightly down so his gaze would be fixed on Vader

Ah, thanks for clarifying.  There seems to be a slight difference between this and yesterdays Youtube upload, where that's concerned.  Either that, or it was just me.  It's just that you said there were some tweaks since yesterday's version.

Really neat to have a moving side-by-side comparison with the SE version now. :)

It's been rendered at a much lower bitrate than yesterdays one to keep the file size down for uploading so that could well have caused the interference to look different

Just saw the Emperor comparison video on Facebook - amazing!!

I think it looks terrific. I'm not at all bothered by replacing the line Luke Skywalker with Young Skywalker, it's a total non issue for me. I can't wait to see the whole thing.

I can't even remember what the original was!?  I prefer Young Skywalker... it's sort of a threat at Vader that way IMO

I'll upload a high bitrate 720p mkv version to download later so you can see the revisited version in better quality.
