Okay, so I'm going to be making a workprint available in the next day or so. I'll edit this post to let everyone know when it's up. It will probably be on myspleen and on my streamnation
I'd appreciate if anyone would give it a look. I'm basically looking for suggestions and feedback on specific cuts, general flow, audio editing, plot coherency and character motivation etc. Keep in mind, this version is a workprint, and is thus unfinished, as I've outlined below:
Unfinished Video:
- I have not applied any color correction to the Blu-Ray footage.
- I have not yet applied the grain plate.
- I am going to attempt to make the scene with Anakin and Padme on the balcony appear to be at sunset.
- The Palpatine transformation scene is lifted from Hal9000s edit but I want to redo it myself with the original Blu-Ray footage.
- There are a few shots that need rotoscoping, which I don't have the technical expertise to pull off:
- a shot of Mace in the arena where I want to rotoscope out lightsabers in the background, this was previously done in SD for Attack of the Phantom.
- In a few shots, I want to rotoscope on Jango's Helmet, so you never see him helmetless.
- I want to have Dooku's lightsaber retract as he escapes onto his ship
Unfinished Audio:
- Zam and the analysis droids are currently subtitled with no audio. I want to dub over these characters and remove the subtitles.
- A lot of the audio transitions and music cuts are a bit rough. If people could point out where these can be improved, that would be great.
- The audio is currently downmixed to Stereo but the final version will be 5.1
- I want to remove Droid voices similar to what L8wrtr did in his edit
- I want to remove the Wookiee "Tarzan Yell", similar to L8wrtr
- I'd like to use L8wrtr's Boga voice clips
- I'd like to have a Qui-Gon voice clip when Yoda is meditating, similar to Hal9000's version.
- I'd like to redub Jango's one line "Don't move Jedi" with a voice more similar to Jason Wingreen's Boba.
- Stretch Goal: I'd like to completely redub General Grevious with a more menacing voice, reminiscent of his voice in the 2D hand-drawn Clone Wars series.
