OK well it's Thursday here again so heres this weeks new pic......

Credit to Vaderios for the section of his matte i used for this shot

Oh! that was good.

Still can i add something?

The Ground need more definition

For some reason the matte looks too close,like a painting.

Id love the framing to be more interesting.

Also the front AT-AT is like a copy paste.

The back AT-AT needs less contrast because its far.

The skies are Beautiful and pop up!

I will make a quickly mockup to show what i mean.

Edit:

(Left Ady's, Center Mine, Right 2004 Dvd) to avoid Imperial Entanglements

The interest AT-AT has more "air" in front of it and the scene is not too busy with all AT's together. Plus nothing is centered.

What do you think?

PS: Thanks using my matte :D My parent will be proud!

Wow, Ady. The new screenshot looks amazing. I love this idea of posting a new screen each week.

 

Agreed! It looks absolutely brilliant.

WOW! Simply amazing, ady.

Any chance of making these teaser-shots avaliable as wallpapers? Would be cool to have a new "Revisited" wallpaper each week.

Ady I was wondering if you'd alright if I included the ESB:R Trailer in SW: Renascent? I mean a preview at the begining?

Comparison by me, coming in a few minutes.

Here it is:

Awesome that Ady used Vaderios' matte.  It's good stuff there!

Sorry, but I think the colors in the image on the far right looks best, actually. But then, I am watching this on a PC with different gamma than a television.

There is one thing that bugs me, though: It is illogical for Luke's airspeeder to be in the left in the picture, when he is clearly running after the AT-AT. The airspeeder should be on the right in the shot, if at all.

In the images on the left, there is still a boulder left from the 2004 image that I think stands out.

The colors may look OK on the DVD, but the entire shot doesn't match any shot before or after.  It's too dark, too blue, too cloudy.  If you really watch the Hoth battle, the changing weather and background jump out at you.

And what airspeeder are you talking about?  I don't see one in any of the versions...

Yes, when you see the comparison shots, the color change alone is striking.  It's been a while since I've seen the walkers in their "authentic" gunmetal gray color on WHITE snow!  And Angel's background matte is beautiful.  More great work, Ady!

You'll notice in the GOUT that the walker is firing as Luke is going up.  However, you can't see the bolts in the 2004 DVD because the brightness is so far off.

Ady, is your walker firing?

it is but its barely visiable 

now if the lasers were green!!!

I darkened it enough to see that you are indeed correct.

He even added a blast flash to the cannon.  Nice, but REALLY hard to see!

The shot looks amazing Ady!  I have to say I agree with Vaderios' light changes for depth, but otherwise I'm stoked.  What I'm much more interested in is how this will actually affect the battle.  The AT AT falling in the background is from an earlier scene when the succesfully trip the firts walker.  Does this mean that scene is being moved?  The visual element is being cloned? More than one walker gets tripped up?

Beautiful work both Adywan and Angel.

I know that there is a lot of work involved but the distant walker does add scale to the battlefield which is a little lost when it is removed.

making the far AT-At that light makes it look like its in a haze. Look at the whole sequence before this shot and you will see just how close together the AT-At's are. keeping the original background At-At will not work because it doesn't match their positioning from the previous shots. The falling At-At is from a previous sequence but i'm not too bothered about re-using shots right now. Happens in star wars all the time. but if you look its slightly different because the panels no longer flap open. I'm hoping to replace that AT-At with a new model shot but if i can't achieve that then the only way i can do this shot is to reuse footage. The sequence starts off with 3 AT-At's, Luke destroys one then the next shot there is only Veers AT-At remaining. Another one needed to fall

Now repositioning the centre AT-At just can't be done. In this shot a speeder flies from the left hand side of the screen and passes right over the At-AT so it cannot be moved. don't forget you are just seeing a single frame and working with moving footage is a lot different than being able to work on a still image. there are so many factors that have to go into the video work. i also have to try and keep each individual shot in a sequence match. so changing contrast, backgrounds and colours in one shot may not work for the other shots. its all about balance.

Please tell me you are joking with this, right? The 2004 DVD colours are horrible and that shot doesn't match any other in the sequence. plus i can't understand what you mean about Luke's speeder because it isn't in the shot.

yeh, sure you can.

It's such a difference to see those other walkers, because before, it almost felt at times like Luke was alone in the middle of nowhere with that walker he blowed up real good. :) It makes sense that they're still grouped closely, even if a lot of time had passed, especially if they were making a sort of bee line for the power generator. They couldn't exactly pull away at lightning speed even if they wanted to.

And like Ady said, it's much different looking at a static shot instead of seeing them in motion. Will you be making it appear as if the snow is blowing around? To me, that accounts for blurriness/haze. That was already explained in last week's preview shot.

Still,Ady, you have to show the AT-ATs that now in focus interest less contrasty ;)

I will suggest lens blur just add a slight atmosphere.

You are the man, ady you know best ;)

-Angel

For those wondering, here is what Ady has to contend with when it comes to The Last Three Walkers:

Also notice the wildly varied backgrounds.

Makes sense that more than one would be brought down by tripping them, and they probably would fall in similar ways.
