Star Wars: Renascent *** NOW AVAILABLE!!! *** — Page 46

I'm rendering the audio now. After this I just gotta render a WMV or compressed AVI version for the Digital Copy and then burn and ship the DVD. I'm also going to make some slight adjustments to the DVD cover and sometime between the release and before I begin work on Part II, I'll record and release an audio commentary track online.

I sure hope so! I'm rendering the digital copy now.

Digital Copy rendered - it's over 6GBs though... I'm going to try and convert it smaller using Xilisoft or something.

Just a small note - this film was editing for 5.1 surround sound - when listening to it in stereo, you may experience slight music bleed; if you watch it in surround sound you won't experience it though.

However, in the scenes that music bleed is obvious it WAS intentional - an example of this is during the Tusken Raider's attack on Luke. I mixed a track from Prince of Persia: Forgotten Sands with the original music. It is intentional.

Here's the final clip I'm posting - titled "The Jed Knights"

Again, the music bleed occurs in the stereo version but not the 5.1 version.

Thanks for the feedback! It's mostly just longer cuts back and forth. Drawing similarities is sometimes directly linked simultaneously, sometimes intercut, sometimes the following scene and sometimes one is at the beginning of the film and one at the end - so the audience has a chance to draw their own reflections without me having to sit it down in front of them - this also makes it possible to better avoid confusion.

So...What information do u need so i can buy this film from u?

You have been here a while now so you should have already read the rules. The edits here ARE NOT FOR SALE. they are made available for free. Once the edits are finished it is usually announced where you can find them. But you will never be able to buy them

A-Man, good to see that you're on the last stretch now. i bet its a relief for you to have this all finished and out there

ady is correct. Only thing I'd ask money for is if you wanted me to ship you a copy with the case and cover - and it would just be a few dollars to print the cover, get a case and ship it - no profit ...or you could just download the labels and ISOs yourself and just burn it at home.

And yeah ady it is a huge relief! I think in about a week I'll be 100% done.

A-Man, the change in colour in that clip is, yeah I'll just say it, goddamn freaking brilliant! Everything all different shades of red, save for the sabers. It's beautiful, really beautiful!!

The footage used for when Ben told Luke about Ani was spot on, absolutely flawless. Remarkable work there!

oh my god that clip was AWESOME!

I seriously can't wait to see this edit when it's done.

You're going to eventually do this for Empire and Jedi too, right?

Yeah, I'm going to move on to Empire once ESB:R is released (with ady's permission!) and provided I can afford to get a bluray reader/writer for my computer as well as SW on BD.

Thanks! I thought red with high saturation would be good as it would reflect all the bloodshed in ROTS and if you notice it progressively gets stronger as Ben talks more about the past. I also used this as a way of masking Anakin's face when he turns to the screen as Vader. TPM flashbacks have a yellowish, grainy, low-saturated look to portray them as super out-dated.

Also, I'm not sure if you noticed, but the transitions go from Luke to Anakin and in the end Anakin/Vader to Luke (and in the latter you can hear vader breathing).

 Riiiggghhhttt. I should've known that. Idiot.

Anyways, looks great and i cannot wait to see it.

No worries! And the wait is almost over! :P

DVDs are prepared. I'll be mastering them tomorrow if time permits.

The one thing that stood out for me, and was a definite plus, was how Vader's stupid red eyes didn't show anymore, because of the high saturation. Now it makes it seem as if Ben is talking about a dark, evil and menacing entity, with the footage shown fortifying it even more.

That was a great clip! I love how you obscure Anakin's face as well as the color treatment. Can't wait to see this thing.

Did it looked like Anakin still? Because I was trying to make it look menacing but also mask the fact that it was Anakin... I hope I accomplished this above all.

awesome job man on that clip.

Thank you

The music was a bit obtrusive during Ben's dialogue and the flashback to TPM didn't seem necessary really but otherwise a really evocative clip.

I re-adjusted the music and dialogue once more before the final render - this issue should be resolved. And I don't even think I've released any TPM flashbacks yet?

Did I dream the inclusion of Qui-Gon's death in your featured Jedi Knights sequence?

It's possible I suppose...Leonardo, Ellen, Tom...what you all doing in my post?

 

Yeah, that scene wasn't included. :P

Alright, solid!
