What if you took the actual crawl from the final version of the film, and just wiped the lines with "Episode IV: A New Hope" out of it? It would require a bit of careful reediting, and you might have to slow the whole thing down afterward, but in, say, Final Cut Pro I think this would be the simplest way to accomplish it.
Anyway.
Anyone got some suggestions on how to do a good crawl?
I am planning on doing a "Lost Cut" crawl with different text from the original drafts of the script.
This would be for the partial "Lost Cut" restoration in my documentary "Deleted Magic."
Haven't thought up a good way to do it in AE or Final Cut Pro yet, though.
