For this test, I've made another animated matte shot showing Luke and Treadwell from a distance. I had to blend several desert shots to get a shot that matched the closer deleted scene shot seemlessly. The sky moves, there is dust blowing across the desert and if you watch very, very closely Treadwell is crawling along too. It's best viewed in fullscreen HD on the Vimeo site.
On another subject and part of the edit, I either need to use part of this shot...
...or create something to replace it (I'd prefer the latter). But I'm struggling to think how with my limited FX skills. Any ideas? FYI: In my edit it currently goes...
1. Shot of Han shouting "Chewie get us outta here!"
2. Shot of Chewie starting the engines
3. SE shot of The Falcon lifting off
4. Original shot of Troopers watching the Falcon flying off
