Help Wanted: Is here some CG artist with some free time?

I’d need 3 things (no matter how crude)

  • the Star Destroyer fighting with Tantive 4, as seen via Luke’s binoculars (which could be used for enhancing the “Luke cleans the moisture vaporator” scene from E4)

  • Luke in his landspeeder flying from the top right corner to the bottom left corner (which could be used for putting into the deleted scene where he almost runs over the old lady on Tatooine)

  • a small CG wampa jumping from snow and being blasted by the probe droid (we have the scene in animatic)

Anybody here knows how to do these 3 shots? Or did somebody already create these 3 shots?

I'd be very interested in the top two ^^ for my project. Nothing fancy as it would be nice if it looked like it was done in 1977.

I'm almost done with the first one;

Will begin my research on the second.

Hey, if we're throwing requests out, I have two. Take the scene at the end of ROTS on the Star Destroyer. I'd love an HD version with the Death Star removed, and replaced with the planet Coruscant.

Also, take the shot of the Taintive IV from ROTS immediately following the "Nooooo" scene, and remove the Naboo background so the ship appears to be streaking through an empty starfield.

I never had the nerve to make the final cut.

Well so here it is, pittrek, your first request:

http://www.4shared.com/zip/Jool8lz2ce/scene1.html

I added some music, if want a version without music just contact me...

As for your second request, i found this:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5m1BvdmnDN0

Don't know if want that scene...but... its there (not mine), if you want my scene, just request.

Hal 9000, your requests are OK, but.... i could't find those scenes online, if you could send them to me it would be my pleasure to edit them for you.

Ps: The final file came out big.

I feel weird but how can I download from 4shared? I click on download, and some new popup window with lots of crap opens, I close it and then I see that in the original window I have now 2 links, 1 "priority download" and 1 "free download".

I don't have an account, so I click "free download". Firefox freezes after this step, and Chrome opens a new popup, where I should choose if I want to download via Facebook, Google+, Instagram or Twitter or that I should register via email.

Is that normal? I remember I used to download stuff from there for free some years ago, now I have to "download via" some social network (which I don't have and don't want)? Or am I just missing the obvious solution?

I've checked the youtube video, and unfortunately it's wrong. You can see from the reaction of the woman that the landspeeder should fly to the  bottom right, because that's where she turns her head to screaming "I told you kinds to slow down"

And yes, thanks a lot for your time and willingness to help!

Yeah 4Shared has a popup that basically says "You must give me your email so I can share it with all my friends?" before it will allow you to download.

I want this, but not that much.

Well I don't want to sound paranoid or something but I had premium accounts on several sites which were later closed down by the FBI, so I'm quite nervous about registering on YET ANOTHER share site.

Is there any chance you could upload the scene to a site where people can upload stuff without registration? For example I like using http://www.1fichier.com - quick upload, quick download, no registration required

Nope, a PM send to hunsdorfex with a link to those shots. How exciting for me!

Hal, i have a small question for you...

In the clip you send me, at the end, Tantive IV is flying on alderaan, do you me to edit that scene too ??? or just the naboo scene ??? 

Here's your scene pittrek...

http://yinjmysch1.1fichier.com/

Tell me if want to change anything, and sorry for posting on 4shared.

Any opinion would be nice.

The last clip includes a bit of the Alderaan scene, but I only included it so as to keep the entire shot with transition from the prior scene. The Taintive IV coming in for landing on Alderaan is totally fine as is and does not need any work. It's only the first shot where it is approaching Naboo that needs to be addressed. 

For my edit, removing Naboo helps the storyline in which Padme survived giving birth on the asteroid world, the group decides what to do after leaving, and eventually drops Obi-Wan off to head to Tatooine (offscreen) and heads to Alderaan with Padme and Leia. The Naboo background was a relic from the original version where her corpse was being dropped off there. (My rationalization for its presence was that perhaps they had to stop there for gathering possessions or saying goodbye to her family. But it would be better if there was no Naboo.)

I never had the nerve to make the final cut.

hundsdorfex - thanks for the clip man, it looks really nice.

You actually went further than I expected, the few seconds long shot would be enough :-) The movement of the Star Destroyer is a bit weird in some places, but it definitely looks nice, thanks again

The movement is a bit weird because of the camera shake on the original shot. If you want, i can try to fix it.

Now i'm focusing on Hal 9000 two scenes, and your wampa shot (i have some ideas).

In your scene Hal, i made a preview image...

Author

That looks exactly how I'd like it. Goodbye, Death Star, from the prequels. (There'll still be a very slight easter egg cameo of the Death Star as Palpatine glances at the place as Anakin comes in to report that Obi-Wan has engaged Grevious. But that sort of thing is okay.)

Great, man! Twice blessed is help unlooked for.

I never had the nerve to make the final cut.

Pittrek, do you got any source video to use on the wampa scene ???

I been making some tests with the 2004 dvd hoth intro, but it just dont look good.

Hal 9000, bad news....

Death star scene is Ok, but, naboo scene cant be done.

In the scene Tantive IV flies over the camera, in that moment (actually, in the whole shot), there is a lot of "speed effect", this means i can't cut the ship, not properly i mean.

Long story short, it would look ugly.

Instead i came up with another solution.... what you think about using that shot after order 66, where obi-wan makes contact.

I could flip the shot and erase obi's ship, then you would have a perfect connection with the NOOO scene.

Share your thoughts.

I follow you. I think that's a bang-up idea. And I'm thrilled about the Death Star shot.
