Aalenfae's PREQUEL TRILOGY (Heavily delayed - computer exploded) — Page 13

Ah, yes - how he knows. I've actually moved this scene to after Palpatine's reveal. Though it's hard to see in just one unfinished scene, I want to depict that Anakin is already sort of in-league with Palpatine's before he "officially" turns.

 

Last night I moved the "plot to destroy the Jedi" line to earlier in the scene, and it seems a lot less like he's delivering an obvious line. 

I've also intercut some more Anakin musings, as well as Palpatine communicating to him through the Force. It both further justifies Anakin's action, and pads the scene out so it doesn't feel so rushed. I think it works pretty well, and I'll have an updated clip up fairly soon.

Sounds great!  I like the idea of more Palpatine influence experienced by the viewer.  I'm looking forward to it as well!

Interesting.  I think it will show that Anakin is truly confused about what to do for the best.

 Spoiler free for the ST

Yes, agreed, it makes it seem like Anakin really is facing a moral dilemma.  Never really liked the dilemma originally presented in the film.

"Would it be possible to have SLJ say "I sense a plot to destroy the Jedi"

Um, thats how it is in the theatrical version ;)

I know, my point was the order in which it is said so Mace seems like he is sensing something the others don't know about, rather than just stating the obvious.  It'd be nice if there were more moments where the jedi are wise like in the OT rather than just flashy and fast moving.

Aalenfae,

 

Any new news?

 

Anxiously awaiting your release  ;)  

 

(I understand real life time-tables though, so no worries - don't feel rushed)

Hey everybody! Sorry I haven't been posting. I've been really busy.

I'm still working hard on RotS, but I've hit a stand-still.

I need a voice-double for Palpatine. Can anybody here do a really good impression of Palpatine? Or know somebody who does? It'd be really helpful!

Ovan Merkel said he could do it, I believe.  And I can probably do a decent job.  And we know you are busy.  Thanks for all your help on our collaborative edit.  Must be hard doing two at once :)

Darth Ender, would you mind doing a test for me? Just some random lines maybe? 

Author

I would be happy to do so.  But now that I'm thinking about it, do you want Chancellor Palpatine or Emperor Palpatine?  I probably do better at the Emperor.  I'll upload something later today.

Author

It doesn't really matter, actually. I'm basically doing a monologue, and I wanted him to start out as Chancellor Palpatine, and gradually become Emperor Palpatine. But if he's emperorish the entire time, that's alright.

I haven't forgotten to record it.  I just got really busy today, and I haven't had access to my only digital recording device.  I'll get you something soon.  Meanwhile, I think I may have recorded a Palpatine impersonation and included it here.  I can't remember for sure and can't check now.  I'll get you something more asap.

I hear Bingowings can do a good impersonation. Or failing that, get RedLetterMedia on board ;-)

 

EDIT: Oops, missed that about Darth Ender doing it. I need to refresh more often.

Author

No, that's alright. I want to hear from as many people as possible.

Sorry, I know I haven't gotten my impersonations.  You can download something here:

I do indeed have a Palpatine impersonation there.  I don't even remember what I said, but you can try it, and I will try to get you something better soon.  I'm really so busy I just can't keep up with everything.

Alright, I've found myself a Palpatine. 
Thanks for the suggestions and volunteers!


As far as me being absent for a long time, I'm finally posting a new video - pretty much just a finer-tuned version of a previous clip:

Yeah sorry for the no show on that score.

Up until a few days ago the Chateau was not an ideal place for sound recordings (EVP infestation... terribly distracting).

Author

No, it's alright. If you'd still like to do a test for me, I'd love to have you "audition" for the part still.


On another note, I've fixed the bad link to the video:

And I've uploaded some new pictures.

Looking good!  Thanks for the updates!

As ever Aalenfae, looks great, always look forward to your update. Only criticism, that you may not be able to do anything about; seems a bit jumpy when Obi-Wan is only the shuttle and jumps from far to close. Though I think the whole seen works much better than the original cut.

Ah yes, I think I see what you're talking about. 
I'll see what I can do about that - thanks for the input!

Stay tuned for more updates in the future!
