Sorry, that wasn't directed solely at you. There's been several people mentioning this. I was just trying to make a cool effect, and apparently ruffled a few feathers in the process. Kinda takes the fun out of this.
"I just ran through another thread and I think I know why you were a little snappy about the credit-alteration comment I made."
Yeah, see what I mean? Again, it wasn't just you - it was just that your comment brought back bad memories.
YOU RAPED MY CHILDHOOD! Lol!
"Just lemme know if you'd like to see what I come up with."
I'd love to see them. I, myself, don't have the capabilities to make my own labels (my father-in-law does, but I ain't bothering him. He's a butt-hole, and the colors on his projects never look good.)
"A couple of suggestions as a way to credit yourself without insiting another lynch mob"
You noticed that too, did ya?
"(like the one I occasionally get over the yellow saber):"
What was that all about?
"A logo before the film... Maybe similar to a THX intro. Or bill yourself in the end credits, maybe after Lucas is credited a writer/director and Kurtz is as producer, insert a credit - Digital Restoration - MeBeJedi."
Lol. That would be pretty cool! Maybe put my name under Lucas'. (I was actually thinking of putting something like that in the bottom right-hand corner as well.)
"That way you're billed without people up in arms thinking that you're claiming you wrote & directed it..."
Well, again, the overall intent was just to see if I could erase Lucas' name and replace it with my own. It turned out to be surprisingly easy, mostly because there were very few frames in the actual transition.
Then again, I could erase the "written and directed" part as well, and replace it with "digital restoration by". Then no one could accuse me of making the films my own.
(Disclaimer: THAT WAS A JOKE!)
