Yes, my friend. I’m working on PoA and Goblet of Fire at the same time since I want the two films to compliment eachother both in tone and aesthetically.

Both movies are quite similar in style, yes. The difference is, PoA is leagues better. 😄

Agreed. But hopefully I hope to remedy some of that and get it way closer.

You might need to tinker with the colour grading on the new establishing shots in the “Train to Hogwarts” clip, but fantastic work as always. 👍

And I am impressed with what you’ve done with the new “Welcome to Hogwarts” scene! 😃

I tried to go for a sunset vibe with the grading (to also imply some sort of time having passed), but perhaps a closer to night would be more appropriate and better.

Cheers. Not done yet. Feedback is always most welcome.

If you need my feedback on that one, could you try to remove the music when Igor hugs Dumbledore at the end? That may sound impossible somehwat, but from what I’ve seen in the community over the years, it’s doable. 🙂

Yes, I’ll isolate the dialogue.

Of course. This is all a work-in-progress.

Everything I will need feedback on I will release to the public for feedback.

Getting this beast to flow in 5.1 surround is a challenging thing, with all the different aspects being balanced perfectly. I will need to isolate a lot more dialogue to work alongside the new ambience and sfx.

Chloe of fanedit.org will also do a preview and feedback screening before full release.

The entry looks way better paced without all the actors choreography! Thou I do prefer a bit more music in their entry (or I am just used to the original scene).

The “Train to Hogwarts” link sadly does not work. Would love to see that as well!

Happy to hear, Antani! Cheers! I can see where you come from. Maybe something more bombastic would be more fitting, but I’ll need to give it a think.

Looks pretty nice! Would suggest to increase the train shots duration a bit (if footage allows it).

Looking forward for more previews and the whole edits as well!

I can definitely extend the train sequence with a couple of seconds. I was a little bit afraid it would bore people if it got on for too long, but I’m happy it sets the mood and could be longer.

Thank you, Samuel. PM sent. I’d recommend watching the Ultimate Editions for the first two entries.

The Opening - Beta

https://streamable.com/c2n80o

I always hated how random and abrupt The Burrows felt in the Goblet of Fire opening. It was never even established as a location for the film. It’s just; Harry wakes up - Harry leaves. No sense of familiarity or belonging.

I also took the liberty of adding two shots from CoS that I didn’t end up using in CoS Ultimate Edition, that was perfectly fitting for what I was going for here. Had to make it coherent with the nighttime and whatnot of course, but I think it works beautifully (the bewitched pan shot and the sweater).

What I need to know is:

  • Does this set the proper dark tone and keep an air of mystery and intruiging confusion?
  • Does the intro work for you?
  • Is Harry’s dream scary?
  • Anything techincal you want to add?

Apart from some more work with the clouds in the intro (I want the WB logo to HP Title card more smoothened out as well, consider this a working placeholder) I think the opening is pretty strong. However, I’m blinded by editing eyes and need to know if something feels or looks off-putting - or if you’d like to see something, for instance in the nightmare flashback.

To keep an air of mystery in GoF we don’t want to know that Voldemort is behind this from the get-go. This will benefit the film imo.

Love the new opening! I think it does everything you want it to. Only technical thing is that the time of day varies between some of the Burrow shots. Sometimes it looks like dawn and sometimes it looks closer to 8:00.

The new opening is very exciting! Edit of the dream is done great, would only prefer some more SFX on the cuts, to add more of a “frightening” effect.

As Jimmy said, the color grade varies a bit in some shots. The one zooming from the clouds to the Burrow, may be for “dark movie effect”, but fills a bit “strangely pushed” from my eyes. Maybe try and to slow the darkening?

Looking forward for more!

The new opening works splendidly! The only real flaw is the colour timing as previously mentioned, but the editing is top notch. I especially like the use of the CoS score during the dream.
