Help Wanted: Is here some CG artist with some free time? — Page 4

Hey Guys, I'm loving this clip change. The Death star should never have been in episode 3. :) 

I've been working on my own edit, but I have zero effects skills. I've been trying to raise a sense of oppressive ambiance in the film. We are always hearing about all the power grabbing that the future emperor is doing, but we don't ever see any real world manifestation. (People are going to the opera? WTF?) I was thinking it would be worth it to add some probe droids and clone troopers to some scenes among the general populace (such as when Anakin is going to the opera) and some of the background shots to add a sense of immanent threat, somewhat in the vein of metropolis. I've always remembered the imperial city from the Tie Fighter game looking super gothic and threatening. If someone could do a scene like that, it would be awesome!  

REPORT:

• Cutting Tantive IV (there's still a lot of cutting to do).

• The wampa shot has made little progress, but i'm still working on it.

Report:

Todat i just tried to fix the tantive IV scene, the cut dosn't look good, and when i try to blur the edges, part of coruscant appear's on the scene.

I'm still testing other scenes, and trying to make one out of scratch (random internet images), so let's see how that turns out, and then i contact you.

The Tantive IV scene cannot be done, below i'll explain all the reasons...

Well to begin working with the scene, i got to cut the ship. That part was Ok, but, i need to make it fit into a black background (that would later be changed to the starfield).

The problem is, the cut looks ugly:

I'll tried to blur the edges to get a good result, it was the logical thing to do. But when i did it, part of the shot appeared :

(In the shot i'm using mask feather to blur the edges, i tried other blur effects, but they all had pretty much the same results).

So, the shot was bad, i tried to make a scene on my own, but there's no way a scene made from scratch can fit into an ILM movie.

I'm still open to suggestions.  (Sorry).

And about the wampa scene, its looking bad, but with a bit of brightness correction and editing i think i can do it, since it has to fit a black and white video.

And Gimpy, after i'm done with these scenes, lets talk about  your scene.

Remember that shot that i wanted to use originally ???
This one...

I already started cutting, but as you said, there is the sound issue.

But... Well, i got the music from the movie, its possible to edit an fade into the music after the NOOOO ?

Or maybe the NOOOO can come out of the shot like an echo or something...

The point is.... that shot works for cutting, but it works with sound ?

Here's a test shot:

(soundtrack included)

So tell me, you want me to cut the taintive IV to change the background, or you want me to just cut the background to erase the ship ?

Can you explain the problem, i don't understand...

I'm still trying to fix it, but not to worry, it will look good.

I wasn't able to fix the issue... but here's another try...

What do you think ?

Working now on the wampa shot and the speeder shot, i will release both scenes toghether.
