Quick Update 6
This shot might have to wait until a 16mm print of the documentary shows up, or all the docs finally get shiny new digital video transfers.
I did some more work on the 2d Death Star Explosion. Now i’m making an alternative version with this explosion:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hcX2jHB0sCYI tryed to add color to one of the black and white clips, and i found out something really interesting, this is really, really, REALLY hard. It seems pretty simple, but to get the color to look natural is the tricky thing to do. I’m still testing, eventually i’ll stumble on a solution.
Liking the explosion you have done.
So far as coloring in the Black and white clips are concerned, personally I think the most important one is Han and Leia’s double smooch is the best of the lot. getting that one in color would actually fix Leia’s Hand jumping position on the back of Han’s head not to mention the line “Ok Hotshot” which is fantastic. You also have a very good reference in the film for the colors of the scene so it should make it marginally easier. What’s not to love about this. It also connects with the deleted scene of the Tie Bombers bombs dropping. So all round would be a great sequence of most of the main cast and some good acting there.
Brutal Luke / Scout trooper neck snap looks good! would be a good addition to ROTJ well done.
