I'd rather have the slow motion frames at the beginning than removing the "yes". More fans will notice the "yes" being gone than the strange frames.OMEN!-_-! said:
I know Harmy is trying to recreate these films exactly as they were theatrically but I have to agree with Darth Tater (cool name/avatar btw) on this, they are all pretty noticable, though like others here have said, method 1 is definately the most obvious and jarring. I think it might be worth compromising here and cutting those missing frames and that part of the audio where the missing frames are to not disrupt the flow of what is a very cool/iconic scene for Han Solo. Another option of course would be to take the whole final shot of Han before he shoots Greedo from the GOUT rather than just the few missing frames, that would certainly be less jarring than changing between two sources of differing quality in the same shot.
I agree, and I don't even think this would be necessary. I just broke out the SE DVD, and the whole scene seems fine (until Greedo shoots, of course). There is a camera cut right before Greedo shoots, so splicing it back to where Han shoots alone seems relatively simple, as is it already done in v1.0. In the SE, Han already says, "Yes, I bet you have," and there is no noticable cut in frames (to my untrained eyes).
Ah, I´d forgotten that the ´yes´ is also included in the 2004 special edition dvds. I´m leaving the audio for last on my project so I wasn´t 100% sure whether the ´yes´ would need to be cut or not due to the missing frames. Even better then, you would just lose a few frames that most would never notice were even gone.
The only problem in relation to this project is that such a change would definately be a little step away from recreating the theatrical release because this was one of the changes that was made for the special editions.
Harmy, have you considered slowing down that final shot of Han slightly when he says ´Yes, I bet you have´ to make up the missing frames while leaving the audio unaltered? I haven´t tried it but it could possibly be less noticable than the other methods you´ve used, due to the slowdown being spread out across the whole shot rather than just the first few frames.
