Sorry, I haven't responded to your posts before, been busy trying to get my computer back up to shape.

Wow, thank you for the details on how the shots were composited in the OT, I will take that into consideration when working on the shots.  I'll see about making another version of the Kamino shot sometime relatively soon.

In other news, I've gotten better at making films look older.  For example, here's a non-SW shot (from Chronicles Of Narnia), where I nailed a very old 30's BW film stock look pretty spot on.

I used a completely new technique I made myself relating to the sharpening, blurring, and grain addition.  The distortions I made here add a lot more authenticity to an old look, along with curve film adjustments made in previous PT screenshots.

The OT does have these artifacts that I can't find a name for, but not to this degree.  The issue is trying to do this in color, which currently doesn't work.  I'm trying the technique with my current shots to see if I can get it to work.  There are at least some shots where they are starting to look very-70's look, but have issues with certain colors and shadow/highlight detail.  I probably won't post anymore screenshots until I know this can or can't work.

Also, I've found older films flicker slowly and largely and wobble quickly and extremely small.  But they are actually very very subtle artifacts that come from shooting on older 35mm camera mechanisms and not poor re-prints and scans.
