The issue with those shots are that they’re inconsistent. I’ll use the sand crawler as an example. Yes the still that the sandcrawler is rotoscoped onto is higher quality than the -1 shot, but it’s kind of distractingly obvious where the seam is. The -1 shot has the advantage of having consistent quality across the shot without being a dramatic drop in quality from the surrounding shots. I haven’t yet tried dropping the shot in, but that’s just my thinking behind it.
Would you cut from the first (night) sandcrawler shot to the end of the day sandcrawler shot, preserving the wipes as they are in TN1’s, or recreate wipes to switch from Harmy’s in the middle? I actually find the pink glow around the dewback in the previous shot more distracting than the sandcrawler. That and ‘I can’t understand how we got by those troops, I thought we were dead’ are the two most distracting in the film for me, as far as seams go.
