You’re making an AOTC edit with color corrected bluray ? What are you going to change compared to Hal’s version (I’m curious).
Well not a lot. My initial plan was to just make it for myself but I’ll probably end up sharing it.
But the changes are minimal, and maybe not the most popular stuff - notables being the reinsertion of the droid factory sequence, some of Jar Jar’s dialogue, the Death Star plans, the name Tyrannus - and some little trims - Obi-Wan embarrassing Anakin, changeling stuff. Weird little things I know but like I said it’s for myself, and the main reason is for the color anyway.
About the changeling stuff, I’m not a big fan of the “Kamino… system…” redubbing so I’ve been toying with an idea since the release of Hal’s v4.1. I don’t intend to alter Hal’s video edit which is to my taste 99.99% as good as it can be, but I’ve made a few minor alterations to the audio track only (like removing most of Lars eulogy - leaving only the music for the wide shot -, Padmé’s complaining in the sand before a clone trooper talks to her), including the changeling scene. So I’ve put back the weird alien voice (I leave the “Kamino… system…” subtitle, assuming Obi-Wan knows a few alien languages), and then I tried to change the “toxic dart” line by “Kamino system”, taken from the deleted sequence with Mace Windu (“this kamino system”). It works good (it really seems to be synchronized to Ewan’s lips movement) but there is a slight “whistling” sound (originated from the “this” part that I’ve removed) I can’t get rid of. Reduction noise delivers a mutted metalic sound I don’t like. Any idea how to improve that ?
Another idea I’ve tried: when Padmé meets Anakin after 10 years I don’t like the “Ani !” line, so I took the “Anakin [this is my sister Sola]” from the family deleted scene to replace it; again there is a slight music in the background that I can’t hardly remove. It kinda works otherwise but I don’t think I’m really going to keep that change.
@ Hal
Sorry if it bothers you that we talk about that in your thread. Tell me if you prefer me to delete it (I just didn’t want to open a new thread for a 3 words edit 😃).
