Hello, hello, everyone.

I see everybody is working hard 😃
I did a lot myself, I did my own french despecialized version as a training for working later on “Spaceballs”. 😃

I did the opening crawl text of Star wars :

I work from the 2.7 version of the movie with color corrected and for Greedo, I could use the uncompressed version without the sub. The audio comes froms the laserdisc.

I reworked completely the french subtitles which were poorly translated, even if I added some personnal choices as keeping Yan Solo (because of Return of the Jedi french opening), Aldorande (because of episode 1 french dubbing), Etoile Noire (because in France we make the difference Etoile noire (death star 1) and Etoile de la mort (death Star 2), but the rest is very close to the original dialogues of the movie. 😃 lot of work but good training.

Then I started to work on the Empire strikes back 2.0 :

The fading of the movie with the name of the director was a pain in the ass as it starts to appear before the fading is done, I had to erase it to put the french one (which start earlier), good training for the opeining of spaceballs as the space is moving while the crawling text is moving.
And now I’m currently working on Empire strikes back french subtitles which are worst than the ones from star wars. When I’m done I will work on Return of the jedi, after this training I will be ready for spaceballs I think. 😃
