STAR WARS: EP V "REVISITED EDITION"ADYWAN - 12GB 1080p MP4 VERSION AVAILABLE NOW — Page 335

I did a mock up of what the shot of Veer's Walker being in the only one left might look like:

Used the shot of the tripped walker just before it gets blown up, the last frame of Luke's exploded walker, and Vaderios' matte at about the angle that it should be.

Vaderios has pointed out the turret facing the wrong way before and ImperialFighter has pointed out that the sun is behind the rebels in most of the other shots.  I don't think anyone has pointed out that there is a guy on a turret on frame right facing AWAY from the walker, confirming the oddity of this shot.  Were the Rebels supposed to charge the walkers at some point?  Beats me.

I kinda agree with TMBTM on that. Looks very nice, but maybe if the picture was shifted so the highest peak wasn't right behind the AT-AT like that?

 It's beautiful, but I feel like the mountain behind the walker takes away the feeling of a menacing big machine coming our way. I'd like to have the silhouette of the walker in an empty sky.

I wondered about that, but it wasn't a creative decision, I was just trying to match up the angle with Adywan's preview of Luke flying up the walker.

I'll see if I can move it a bit.

Had to stitch the matte from the other side.  It's a little better, at least its inbetween mountains this time.

Nope, that one wasn't me.  I can't recall who first mentioned that unfortunately.

I was lol

Breathtaking mockup 005 :D

I can tell that is another movie!

You've probably already seen these Ady but I was just poking around when I found this:

Close up shot of Wampa

I was surprised so I decided to look around some more and stumbled upon these:

Side shot of first Wampa

Sideshot of SE Wampa

Front of original Wampa

Front of SE Wampa

Good shot of the placement of the ears

Another Front Shot

thanks for the link Tobar. hadn't seen those pics. They'll come in very handy

Nice mock-up 005

yeh that is a strange shot indeed. it does seem as if the rebels are supposed to be running towards the battle instead of away. it may also explain the shot before the speeders blow up the fallen AT-AT where we see 2 rebels running towards the walker as the speeders fly overhead

but that shot can also settle a long running argument about the lightsabers not producing shadows. if you look at the explosion you can see just how bright it is yet it creates a shadow. this is because it has mass and this is the same with the lightsabres. if the sabers didn't have any form of mass they would be useless as the blade could pass straight through objects. and originally they were supposed to be heavy weapons. so now, as you see, a lightsabre would indeed produce a shadow.

Thanks for the compliment.  Means a lot to me.

And I was confused by the shadow of the explosion, but it didn't dawn on me that it destroys my lightsaber shadow theory.  Oh well, less work for you then!  I'll try not to cringe at Luke beating down Vader in RotJ anymore since all I usually see are the shadows of two guys with sticks...

Ady, are you, as Imperial Fighter suggested, adding additional elements to the falling AT-AT shot to explain why it falls (rope, laser, etc.)?

yes. you'll be seeing a snowspeeder circling the AT-AT in the wide shot of the 3 AT-AT's

Blessed continuity.  I love it!

Any chance to see rebel lasers from the trenches(offscreen) to hit to the AT-AT way?

The rebels are retreating at this point so there would be no laser fire from the trenches

IN MOTION

I know this is a work-in-progress, but going through it frame-by-frame (its so short, I'm justified!) I noticed that the falling walker doesn't move for the first frame.  I KNOW you're going to fix it, but I can't be too safe by not saying anything.

It's impossible to see in the full motion, I'm just having a great time flipping back and forth as everything moves but the walker defies all logic and stays perfectly still!

 

I played back that portion frame-by-frame just to see what you mean, and you are correct. The very first frame of that falling walker is the same as the following frame. While everything else is inmotion, the walker is just frozen in mid-air for those 2 frames. Then it falls. In motion it is virtually impossible to spot, but I see what you mean. I'm sure Ady is still tweaking these shots, though.

 

As far as the clip goes, WOW! I have nothing to complain about with this clip. I think it is a vast improvement over the original shot. To my eyes, there is nothing wrong with the mountains at all.

 

 Ady probably has tweaked it by now. I know I'm gonna get turbolasers for this BUT.....in the last clip, all wonderfull AT-AT glory and all found myself diverted from the main event (luke going up) by all the action around him, I know I could sound bitchy but it just happens.....I dunno if anyone else has had this feeling..?

I wish we had the money to commission some of these guys.  Holy crap, this stuff is amazing!

Thanks ever so much to Adywan who kindly let me put up the clip as his original wishes were not to put it up, and due to the hundreds of e-mails I got from people begging me to put it up, I asked Adywan and he said YES!!!
