Maybe this thread can just be a venue for people to request effect work and where people with vfx skills can look for and accept things to work on.

I think that’s basically what its become, which is a good thing.

Hi I’ve got a request for anyone who can do it. For my edit, I need a shot at the beginning of the film to introduce the Federation invasion since that’s where my film will start. Is it possible for someone to paint out the “Negotiations” ship from the opening shot? This is so we are left with an empty star feild which pans across to a shot of the blockade. It would be really helpful 😃

Quick Update 1

Here’s a rough cut of the Luke and Biggs idea:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b5v0-_qnL1k&feature=youtu.be

I’m still waiting for a response from TeamNegative1. So what do you guys think?
The problem with this shot, is that Ben and Beru never stop talking, which makes it hard to include Luke and Biggs talking on the background. If you have a better solution than the one presented on the video, please share.

I’m still cutting Dooku’s saber. Funny fact here: i might have to start all over again, but i’m still not sure. You see, instead of making a new saber from scratch and then putting it over the original saber, i added a Yellow filter to the saber. Didn’t ocurred me at the time, that the filter will also affect ALL other lightsabers that get close to Dooku’s saber. So every time the blue saber gets close, the saber will start looking pink-purple colored. It actually looks (in my oppinion) pretty cool. Here’s a clip so you can see what i’m talking about:

Note: I already did more frames, this is just a small piece of it.
If you want me to fix it, i’ll do it, but it will take more time.

I’m also working on Tarkin receiving an holographic message, i belive everyone knows what i’m talking about!
Here’s a small test:

Any suggestions?

Hi, I know you’re really busy n all, but did you ever finish the yellow saber stuff?

Yeh, that was the one I requested wasn’t it? Do you have any work in progress shots?

i dont know if anyone would be up for it or not, but i have been trying to add hyperspace shots to my edit (due out soon). i didnt know if anyone would be willing to add hyper space to the shot of the transport in AOTC that Ani and Padme are in. i would do it myself, but trying to get the camera to line up right and rendering are really taking a toll on my computer

Nevermind…I went ahead and did it myself. If anyone would like to use it, PM me and I can give you a link to the file.

I think the idea of Dooku having a green lightsaber is much better than him having a red one. Him having a green lightsaber turns him from a power-hungry ex-Jedi to a Jedi that’s switched sides of the war. I love the idea of the Jedi Order becoming slowly and slowly split apart- and I don’t want to have to watch 4 seasons of The Clone Wars to get there. Could someone haphazardly change the duel scene in AOTC vs Anakin and Obi-Wan? My edit doesn’t include Yoda fighting him

No offense, kid, but I don’t think you know how to boil water.

-This one would be quite tedious, but in the scene where Windu and other Jedi confront Palpatine, it would be cool to see the other Jedi float into the air and get force choked by Palpatine rather than have them stupidly and awkwardly killed in a lightsaber battle, this would make Palpatine seem way more powerful and make the scene much more intense.

I also like this because it makes mace seem stronger for being immune to it.

The only problem is the animation of the Jedi floating and choking

A much better idea imo is having Mace face Palpatine alone. I saw Aalenfae do a rough cut of it and it looked really good

Real easy to do with Mocha tracker. I would need your original composites files though.

Well thanks! I can send you the original files no problem but honestly I’m not very happy with the saber marks.

Which ones? I saw one slash, then what looks like a composite freeze frame of 2 others, that look a little too hot. What is your projected vision for this shot?

The composite ones - the ones I added. I took the original slash mark, copied it, rotated one, and made them both a little smaller.

The idea is that Nute is slashed twice, so he’s got the two slash marks when he’s speaking. Then after he says his line he’s slashed the final time but that part doesn’t really matter. I just need someone to make the slash marks move a bit as he moves, and maybe improve how they look as well.

If I’m not explaining this very well and you want to move on that’s fine, I might have someone else who can help.

A guy on originaltrilogy is making movie series from the Clone Wars tv show and movie. Much more condensed with no filler.

I know, I’ve seen it. It’s very interesting. What does that have to do with Dooku’s lightsaber though?

I seem to have quoted the wrong person. My apologies.
