Star Wars V- XXTELECINE 7XX version 3.2 — Page 2

It's already finished, I'm seeding it to somebody else now.

Kool thanks. 

Hey xxtelecine 7xx,

I really love your additions and your changes! Are you considering adding anything else to your Empire Strikes Back, and Return of the Jedi edits like Adywan is doing but with your own personal flair to it? Changes and Additions like (Enhancing the Asteroid Chase, Making the Debris that falls with Luke out of the Bespin Exhaust Pipe look like Luke's Hand, Enhancing the Environments, Updating HUD of the Hoth Snowspeeders and the Falcon, Making the Space Battle at the end of Return of the Jedi look better etc.) Because I love seeing these films "properly" improved with updated special effects and new additions.

 CommandBen, 

As you know I already did a Beta of ROTJ, I do not have any immediate plans to do anything further because of a lack of time in my personal life.

With that said, there are a few additional things l would like to update time permitting but my main focus is trying to improve SW ep IV.  This one is one of the hardest ones to work on and I already privately spoke with ADYWAN (PM) offering my assistance with his HD version of revisited.  He agreed but he said it will be some time before he can get around to recreating his original vision of IV revised.

Right now I am working on the basics of episode IV, (Vader chest plate lights) (mask for Vader's eyes) Laser replacement, light saber replacement ect. Plus the same type of work like I did on EP V, and VI..

Also some of the original Laser blast that were drawn in by team George Lucas were poorly done as they lacked proper perspective. This of coarse was 1978 so it was understandable at the time, so I am frame by frame "REPLACING" not re-scoping those effects.  This is a detailed and very time consuming process because it involves cloning video information from other film frames for the removal process. Once done they will be re-animated and will reflect VFX for a more modern 2015 Star Wars universe.

I am also attempting the same process for some of Luke's Light saber sequences (remove the original) replace with the new.  Some shots are simply near impossible to do this, others are not.

So I plan on releasing a beta hopefully before this Christmas with the above changes, and then next year a more detailed edit, with sound and audio changes. (replacing the audio of the laser blasts and replacing the audio effects with the same sound type, but more dynamic range. Most of which I am going to source from the vast existing SW sound library's out there. (5.1 mix)

There will be welcomed changes like Han shooting first ect, and the deletion of the Jabba scene. But over all my focus will be to just concentrate on the above mentioned effects, it will be much more conservative than all the changes that ANDWAN did with his revisited release.  

Thanks for the interest, I appreciate the support, I will upload a clip soon of a finished sequence, hopefully if will spark some interest in this project.

Note: there is no sound with this file.

Agreed.  I haven't gotten around to watching your EP V yet, but if it's as good as your EP VI was then I'll have no complaints.  :)  

Yep Lasers here look really good.... The only thing that is bringing it down is the bright pink flashes where the whole screen goes pink.

Have you thought about changing the hue color of the pink flashes to match the color of the lasers?

If the flashes were red like the lasers then they would not be so prominent as the red spectrum would be far more subtle and would blend with the change to the laser colors you did.

Just something that I honestly think would bring it up another notch and make it a bit more modern.

Good work!

 Those pink flashes most are on camera lighting effects (original) 1978.  I think I might try to change the hue of it (flashes) Good IDEA. I already tried to outright remove them but with all the smoke in the corridor, you could clearly tell there were jump cuts. (something I want to avoid)

 Okay Thanks, It looks great!

Adywan isn't doing that (thank god). That was an idea and mock-up by TELECINE 7. His mock up looked fairly good though. Guess it wouldn't be too hard for him to do in his edit if he wanted to.

Ah I see, It's a cool concept though (even when I was very young I always thought that the Debris was Luke's Hand and Lightsaber)

 Before I do anything drastic about the "Luke's hand saber", I need to see how it actually plays out in JJ's new film, from a story perspective.

Just got around to watching this in it’s entirety. Very well done!
