But don't worry I looked it up! Man, your British people have some weird terms. I still don't understand what that means, even after reading a whole page on it. :S

Where are you Asteroid-Man?  "Grasping at straws" is widely used in Canada and the USA as well.

 

Asteroid-Man said:

Can't the bombs send out a few light waves to make it look like radar trasmitters of sorts? A reason to them not finding the falcon could be because they're inside a worm.

I like that idea... much more plausible an explanation than carpet bombing an entire asteroid with low yield explosives.  By light waves, were you thinking of something like this?

What would that look like when it hits the ground?  (Assuming we'd see anything at all).

WHAT!? Are you sure we use that in Canada?

And if the radar doesn't work, we can always send me into the field to get them. (Get it? Ha. *Shrugs shoulders*)

Did Vader torture Han so that Luke would feel Han's pain through the force and then Luke would come to Bespin?

Yes! Kinky huh? :D

A man with a mask and black leather suit... what did you expect :)

About the tie bombers, I say leave them as they, we don't know what there dropping anyways, maybe they could be touched up, but.....Personally, I think hoth looks too much like earth, how can we fix "that" ;]

Gack! You really think this looks ok?

=/

Well, to each his own.

The agreement is that the Empire continues to turn a blind eye to Lando's operations. "I've just made a deal that will keep the Empire out of here forever."

I WANT!!!! But why are there 2 sets of the same movies?

Well, since DS has started it, I'll probably upload my ESB:R cover design some time in the next few days. Stand by. :p

i always knew the saying as "clutching at straws". its always seemed to be a pretty worldwide saying

I just got back from playing tennis, Adywan still hasn't replied, I hope this doesn't mean I'm on his ignore list now.

Hey Vaderios, one suggestion - can you post your before and after pics top-to-bottom instead of left-to-right?  Less side scrolling.

Lets see if it works that way :)

 

i know Ady have rerotoscoped all the lasers but this pic belongs to the lame pic of the week.

Also i find why the shadows dont look realistic on the rocks... they dont have motion blur!

Also ady, im wondering if you going to fix/replace some bad elements..

Like there for example:

The snow speeders in the background are so dark and going so slow. any chance to see them in the real speed?

Also when the flashes appears in the cockpit shots they create some bad bluescreen elements.

-Angel (24 days left )

 

yes, all these things are being fixed.

First an idea, i know this has to do with Return of the Jedi, but also with Empire Strikes Back, and is easier to change in Empire.

This shot was added for the special edition and appears on Empire when Lando is warning the city to evacuate, and in Jedi at the ending celebration. Since in Return of the Jedi it is a pan shot, with crowd cheering, i guess its easier to change it (or substitute it) on ESB (Or tweak it in some way on ROTJ, like changing the sky, i dont know)

i will be changing it in ROTJ:R but only the sky and some foreground elements. Its just pure laziness that they had both shots during sunset. ROTJ:R will be more daylight.

Maybe you could just replace the mountains and/or the AT-ATs, since those would be relatively more stationary than the ground itself.  Even if you didn't "replace" the AT-ATs with new model shots (or from different scenes) could the images of the AT-ATs themselves be worked a bit to appear less faded?

this is what's impossible about it. There are no definite points to track to add anything to the background. the camera is moving all over the place .the only way to fix these shots would be for all outside cockpit elements to be brand new. i would need a lot more space than i have available to create a new snow floor to film.

I've previously only posted on the Prequel Radical Redux Ideas Thread (there's a mouthful) as I've been confident that anything Adywan does with the OT will be for the better, but I feel compelled to post here just to tell you that this project is looking excellent! I wish I could contribute in some way in terms of ideas, but it would be quite superfluous. Empire is in capable hands indeed.

Also, Ady. In regards to your Falcon model kit going missing (glad to hear you've had a replacement by the way), and Paypal finding in favour of the seller, I've always been under the impression that Paypal seller protection requires that the seller provide not just proof that the item has been posted, but that delivery also be confirmed (via the item being signed for).

If this is true, and Paypal have made an unjustified decision in closing your claim (as they OFTEN do - I deal with them a lot), you may be able to claim the money back. Contact trading standards.

 

EDIT:

 

https://www.paypal.com/uk/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=xpt/Marketing/securitycenter/sell/SellerPPOverview-outside

Copied from Paypal's seller protection policy:

"4. For items with a value of £150 or more, you need to provide proof of signature from the recipient if the buyer claims that the item did not arrive."

 

They can't argue with that. From my experience, Paypal are the most unscrupulous company I've ever dealt with, and they probably found it in the seller's favour on the offchance that you wouldn't contest it. Contact trading standards.

Hey Ady. If you get your money back thanks to me, can I be in your credits as 'Financial Advisor'? Haha jk! Please don't click ignore :P

thanks for the advise. The thing is that thanks to our postal system the seller was 100% covered with what he did. You can request a signature upon delivery without having to pay for the insurance. now because the post office have lost it Paypal (and any other company for that matter) and it wasn't insured the most they will offer is £30. the seller is covered along with paypal.  you see , the thing with that Paypal clause you posted , is that this only covers when a buyer claims that he hasn't received an item but the seller is saying that he sent it and he has proof that the buyer has received it.  I spoke to my brothers friend who is a solicitor this weekend and he has had a look over it and he has said that it is indeed the post office that are liable and paypal don't have to cover anything in this case. If he had paid for the insurance then i would get all the money back, but he didn't so i'm screwed.

vaderios said:

Are we still bothering with the executor idea?..

Anyways i ve made a gif to show how the scene can be more interesting.

Imagine it slower and with ties. Ady can do it better than me ;)

I also think a focal distance game with the camera focus on ties and blur the close rocks.

Plus i could have add more layer rocks to give more depth, but just to get the idea

Also the painting over the rocks seem to be a bit wrong in some places. Like here f.e.

The light is reflected to the wrong rocks

 

-Angel

i'm going to be building a new set for that shot because you can tell its a painting and it doesn't match the miniature set. i will be enhancing the bomb blasts but i haven't decided what route i'm going to go down yet.

rcb said:

i never really cared much. i just assumed they were trying to flush them out and not destroy them.

u know, that's the only time we see tie bombers, any chance will be seeing more in ROTJ:R ady? i know that they do shoot concussion missles.

well i'm thinking of building a TIE Bomber because i want to see them in ROTJ:R bombing the shit out of the rebel cruisers

fredstar, that pics looks so much better now. i agree with what's been said about the ships in the top corner. if you could  remove them then it think you've got it nailed.

I originally posted this image in the ANH:R thread, almost exactly a year ago (page 239 if people want to track it down); it's a preview of the saga set. I've made a couple of changes since then (the ESB logo is now different) but it'll give you some idea.

 That sounds good to me! But do really need to build everything, I mean, that a whole lotta of work, maybe there could be some compromises, but if thats what you want to do, then do :]

It sounds like Adywan is going to end up having started his own FX company by the time the saga is finished.

@RoccondilRinon: I like your covers there, and I see that the saber colors on the ROTJ cover have been fixed from the original painting, but you still need to remove the blaster from Luke's hip so that it's truly a ROTJ rather than an ESB image :P

I've been Canadian for 31 years and didn't have to look it up. ;) Don't worry about it. Haha. "Grasping at straws" (or "clutching at straws") is quite common, but it's just something that doesn't come up much in normal conversation.

I'll be posting mine sometime soon. I have the designs ready, just need to make them.

Interesting post about Paypal, brash_stryker. Sometimes it works out great. A friend of mine bought a guitar and when he received it, it was not in great shape. Lots of flaws and damage that was not shown in pictures and the description mentioned nothing about. In the end, my friend not only got all his money back, but got to keep the guitar because the seller wasn't responding or something. Ha!
