I just downloaded the first 70min and this is a really cool project! I love getting to the blu-ray deleted scenes reintergrated into the film and the b&w workprint aesthetic recreated. Are you still working on this? I would have opted to use some of the pics from the lost cut article http://www.starwarsholidayspecial.com/swcs/episode4/lostcut.html
and inserted them 'with missing scene' type title cards for a couple of seconds
Also on the page i linked theres also a clip of an additional few seconds of low rez mos eisley footage from the holiday special, i wonder you considered plugging this in somehow (but sourcing a higer rez source):
Thanks, glad you like it. I haven't done any work on this edit since finishing the 70mins you've watched no. I'm dreading trawling through days of WW2 and pre77 Sci-Fi films to find the material I need for Yavin. Suggestions are always welcome.
Thanks for the article link, interesting stuff. Shame the linked material is of an unusable quality. I can see the shot of people fleeing before the Stormtroopers working nicely.
I started this edit with title cards everywhere as you suggest but when it started to get good I realised that if I picked the right footage I didn't need them. The image told the story just fine. I think I tried that sandcrawler shot at one point but elected to go with a McQuarrie painting instead.
