I'm not sure if the dubbing is working it might be better to do an entirely different dub track (including the original dialogue) all of which is to some extent out of sink with the lips (so it looks like a film not filmed in English that is dubbed).

The audience might find it easier to cope with the whole thing being out of whack than just key lines.

I think the dubbing is working fine.  It matches better in some places than others but I don't think it's really an issue for this kind of edit.

I'm not going to replace the dialogue completely.

A couple tweaks. De-Ducreuxed R2, added a few Ric Olie lines and removed one, and added a Jar-Jar subtitle.

Regarding the sound clipping, I listened to my exported avi on headphones and didn't hear any distortion, so I'm starting to think it's a youtube issue. At least, I hope it is....

I'd like to get Ric in the other two movies at some point.  He certainly deserves it.

MUCH MORE AWESOME.

Instead of wondering what R2 was saying, I was LOLing. ;-)

Indeed!  Having R2 deliver the memes works better than the ducreux-speak.

And having Jar Jar 'translated' is also hilarious.

Well done, Fink.  It's nice to see you making a productive contribution to this website.  Good work.

Frink, what have you decided about the podrace?

Haven't decided yet.  I'll probably throw a quick one together that has Ani never get going just to see how it plays, but I still have to look through the race and see if there's more opportunity for comedy that would be lost.

^Yep, I had thought about that.  It's a possibility.

No matter what I decide, I'm pretty sure I'll have Sebulba win the race if I can make it reasonably clear that he did.

What missing scenes?

And I've never seen Tank Girl.

^agreed. I didn't find the forward stabilizers bit funny if that was the intention.

Not a bad idea, cor77.  I liked the forward stabilizers because the line reading is so different, it reminds me of the Mr. Black thing in the Camp Krusty episode of The Simpsons.  But having him constantly repeating the bit about the shields isn't a bad idea.

For example you want to have ric olie do something in your edit but you cant have him because of the lack of footage. so you can take some shots from movies or comics that includes him and place dilaogue or whatever you want without caring about lipsync or it looks good.

Now this is the opening scene but you can get the idea when something is going to happen instead of live action footage you have comic images doing stuff :)

Honestly, my reaction is "meh."  Part of the fun of this is making things work with what I have available.  I'm all for something like what Bob did for me on the duel, but I don't want to go too drastic with stylistic changes like using comic-style stuff.

Plus, I don't read comics and don't care about them. :p

And the lipsync doesn't really bother me.  I think it's part of the fun.  I did have another member offer to do some limited lipsync adjustment where possible, I may take him up on that but to me it's not a big deal.
