time for the PG rating to finally be stamped on ROTJ. Bunker shoot out scene too!

To be honest I would cut Luke Force choking the pig guards because isn’t Luke meant to be avoiding that sort of thing? I’m all for making ROTJ more nasty but I would do it by adding more gore to the Ewok’s camp. Showing dead and partially eaten stormtroopers etc.

If Luke Force chokes pig man then your not sure if he’s turning evil.

If he snaps the scout troopers neck on the speeder bike it’s yet another seed planted as to weather or not Luke will fall to the dark side.

That Bunker Shootout helps alleviate the stupid Ewok ground battle and balance things out a bit in my opinion. Half eaten Storm troopers or not.

Note regardind deleted scenes:

A lot o of people want me do restore/remaster deleted scenes, and i’ll do it, but has i said before, i only downloaded the movies.

And you guys were cool, sending a lot of links to get collections of deleted content and so forth.
The problem is, my internet is really slow, and most of the download sites dont let you download at top speed.

I’m currently now download this:
http://originaltrilogy.com/topic/Deleted-altered-and-alternate-material-project/id/14931
This contains most (if not all) of the content i need to do my work, but, the download is slow.

So for now, if you want a deleted scene edited or remastered, please, pm me a direct link to download the scene.

Regarding today:

I honestly tought today i would have some time to work on the requests, i was wrong!
I’m sorry!
I hope no one’s mad at me, if i only had more time i would work, but life is catching up with me.

My request:

I’ve been maintaining a list of requests, but its not being effective and its completly outdated. Can someone make a list of the requests made so far, or tell me how to keep an effective log of all requests?
Honestly, i didn’t expected so much requests, and i didn’t had a plan on how to keep track of them all. Any help would be appreciated 😄

My speeder shot is looking great!

I get a lot of suggestions for my edits, so what I do is make a spreadsheet to track them. I go back through my project threads every so often and put down the suggestion, who made it, status, and which page/post. I also put down the last page/post the spreadsheet is current through, so I don’t have to read back through the entire thread the next time.

By the way, I’ve been sharing the speeder clips on FE.org and the last one just got this response:

“Wowser, that FX-shot is perfection.”

There are your pics. You have to put empty square brackets before the opening parenthesis if you want them to show up properly.

hundsdorfex I can’t find that deleted scene collection by darth ender you posted. Is it on my spleen? If so how did you find it? Thanks

Quick Update 7

He sent me a torrent, but it was super slow. So i requested he upload it to mega, now i’m waiting for a response 😃

Here’s a quick video of the Grievous Hologram and the Death Star 2D explosion:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MQmcb9sznTQ&feature=youtu.be
Grievous Hologram still has a lot of speed and size issues, but its a good example of how it will look in the end.
Death Star 2d explosion was changed according to suggestions, what do you guys think?

Regarding xxtelecine 7xx work:
I stumbled on a huge rock.
To remove the saber from the scene, i was rotoscoping an individual clean frame and pasting it over a “non clean” frame. This worked well for the first frames (except for the head).
The problem is, i cant use this process in other frames, because Ben moves, and this means that his shadow also moves. By the process i’m using, the shadow in luke’s body doesn’t move, and it only reappears on a non edited frame. And, if this wasn’t enough, the movement doesn’t look natural at all.
Long story short, wrong ridiculous shadow and unnatural movement. Now i need another process to restart all my work. Does anyone has any idea how to pull this off?

Regarding deleted scenes:
I’ve been thinking a lot about this, and i’ve made a decision.
Remastering deleted scenes is hard, in some cases, a complete reconstruction of the scene has to be made.
By those reasons, i’ll only remaster one scene by time. This way, i can still work on other requests.

So to start, i’ll let you guys vote in one of the following scenes:

• EpII Obi-Wan and Mace talk on the landing platform
• EpVI Rebel raid on the bunker
• EpIV Luke speeds past an old lady

You guys have till 12/02 to vote. The winner scene will be announced day 3.
I still haven’t got the download i need, so if someone can send me the winner on day 3, this would help a lot 😄

Regarding Frink’s speeder scene:
What do you think?
Anything that you want to change? fix?
You think the scene is good to go?

I’m loving the idea of the Greveious hologram and think your work looks fantastic. The only suggestion I would make is could you add a slight flicker to it. Kinda like the holograms have in the original trilogy just to make it look a little less clean?

Sure 😃

Color correct:
Depending on the scenes quality, yes!

Clean up:
Here’s the deal, i’ll do a version using the original video, but, if there is enough interest, i can try to clean up the shot myself. Just keep in mind that i would clean up the shot mannualy, and this takes a lot of time.

Spfx:
Yes!

Sound:
Yes, and sound cleaning too!

Music:
Yes!

that´s good to hear.take all the time you need to become a great scene.
thanks a lot for your effort.

It seems that the bunker scene has won, can someone send a good clip?

This weekend i’ll be downloading Darth Ender’s project, which contains all the deleted scenes i need. So this weekend i will not be able to use my computer. You see, my computer isn’t that good, so when i’m using AfterFx, i cant use nothing else or everything will freeze.

From day 16/12 to 20/12 i’ll not be working too, you guys can guess why.

Long story short, from now on, things will a little slower, but dont worry, i’ll still be working, just be patient 😃

I know no one requested this, but i wanted to try out. The prequels dont have the “Hyperspace Light Tube” effect on any scene, and i want to add it. But first i need to get the effect right, so here’s the first rough test:
http://hundsdorfer.deviantart.com/art/Lightspeed-test-1-575734011?ga_submit_new=10%3A1449068868

I have began adding textures to Death Star 3d model, and i discovered something really interesting… there are no good textures, seriously, go search on google, the texture is too small to properly fit on a huge model like the Death Star. So now i have to rebuild the texture… but dont worry, it will look good in the end.
Some fracturing tests have also been made, is looking pretty good 😃

Something like this?

…

On the other hand, something like the above would be more at home in Return of the Ridiculousness.

Post that in the right thread…I might use it, actually.

…

General consensus seems to be that the speeder effect shot is ready. Thanks!

Hundsdorfex,

Following this thread mainly to see the effects you come up with and how they are used in other edits. I don’t have any personal requests, but look forward to seeing what comes from this thread.

Thanks for offering to help the community with your time and talents! It’s much appreciated by everyone, even people who stay quiet and sit in the background…

Have you tired to make a master clean plate and assemble picture information that is available from the other 443 frames? If an object is completely cover up by an actor you could use the clone brush and give it a middle of the road object… You would have to roto out all the actors to achieve this master plate though. Then fill in there missing information on the frame with the cloned back ground information… The trick will be to find a frame that has the video information your looking for to clone, and then assemble it. You would have to roto out all of the actors on every frame though to re-supplement them on top of the clean frame plate.

Another trick I used for the other saber shots, was the old “CC wire removal tool” This actually warped the original saber and inverted it to make it a lot thinner. I was then able to roto the new saber with great results. This allowed me to recreate a new light saber effect without it looking too thick. The only trade off is that sometimes if will give a warping effect on the background, which can be minimized thru the settings at a key frame level. But it is a well worth trade off.

Below is a sample

It’s a lot of work I know, that’s why I don’t have the time to do it… :{
