STAR WARS: EP V "REVISITED EDITION"ADYWAN - 12GB 1080p MP4 VERSION AVAILABLE NOW — Page 641

Thanks for such a detailed introduction, Ming! Hope everything goes well. :)

Great introduction, Ming! This sounds really great, how many people are in your filming group? And you said you lived in Frisco? Haha, hello from San Jose! Are you guys going up to Tahoe to film?

Here is a hit

Credit to original artists.. Not mine.

Benefits of having a granter establishing shot: Make cloud city actually dominates the skies rather is a dot in the distance.

Low angle means size and quantity(sounds familiar)

Cloud and ship overlaps make the shot alive and with depth

Most of the shots that we see/know have cloud city in the distance.. We need more close ups. It might be this^

And morning instead of sunset..

Oh dear lord in heaven, that looks so good! Adywan, if you've seen this please tell me you'll at least consider making it like that.

As others have said, there's something about the original shot, with the sun breaking through the clouds to reveal the city in the distance...  I wouldn't want to lose it.

I'm usually against changing scenes too much, but this... words cannot describe how much better this looks :)

RogueLeader... you're making me very jealous that I didn't move out to San Fran when I had the chance! Dammit, sounds like a lot of fun (and hard work no doubt)... looking forward to see some damn fine results!

Ming is here!  There aren't credits big enough for him in this movie.  A whole second unit dedicated to running around in the snow to enhance the movie...  It's awesome to hear about.

Haha... thanks for the awesome welcome guys! Trust me, we're as excited as you are to see this as you guys are. We never thought something like this would be something we'd be doing but there is no way we'd turn down Ady when he first requested help. At first I thought it be me with a tripod, a camera, and my X-wing gear but more and more of my people came through and immediately wanted to help when I contacted key people. The more help came the more ambitious Ady's ideas for shots became (which we will LOVE tackling).

So currently we've done some crazy stuff in the last couple of months to gather the gear we need to make things look authentic and awesome (and crazy enough pretty cheap!). =) Overall it's my Rogue Squadron, which is currently at a full dozen at the moment, and then my film crew consists of about 4-5 people... Then my costume maker and prop people which is another 4-5 people... Even my original X-wing gear was a collaborative effort (but the Hoth X-wing gear is slightly different from standard X-wing gear so we're making the thermal jacket, and other accessories right now). My room is a disaster area with boxes and gear scattered through out so I kinda can't wait to do these shots so I can get some of this crap out of here. lol...

We were looking at Tahoe but we came across an even better option at a place called "Twain Harte" which is near Yosemite. One of our friends has a cabin up there and we isolated 3 possible sites to use for our "Hoth" locals. =D My XO, Rogue Six, and all of my RS's 2nd Flight lives in SJ. XD

hey, so what are LFL's feelings on revisited ming? Are they considering taking some of ady's ideas to heart?

At the lower echelons, my contacts at ILM and LucasArts love Revisited... It's a tough position for a lot of them cos of how Lucas is concerning control and what not... I have my own theories concerning LFL's position but I'll keep those to myself for now. I almost engaged Steve Sansweet at an event in Las Vegas in November but I was kinda in Imperial territory (Trooperfest, a 501st event... I was kinda err... "party crashing" haha...). Steve Sansweet it the head of fan relations for LFL and director of content for LFL. He also has the largest SW collection on Earth which I've been privledged to see (twice):

I'm the one next to Steve. =D

Mine! Mine! Mine! XD

Anyway, Steve's memory is excellent and he keep tabs on copyright issues and the like for LFL (as director of content and all) AND he keeps track of people of interest (thus he knows me by name, LOLing...). At some point I'll probe tactic-fully his feelings on it and so it'll be a reflection on LFL's position as well. I saw him a couple weeks ago too but barely got the chance to say hello cos he was swarmed by Imp again (501st... lol). At some point I'll find a good time to just say hello and inquire carefully... However, I'm sure he knows of Revisited and really... I think there's a good reason why Revisited hasn't had the hammer dropped on it. At least I have a good theory. ;)

Inside men have inside theories about Revisited?  I'm worried/excited!

I know it's the wrong thread but it might be a great opportunity to point out this ROTJ Wishlist suggestion.

Add some “signature” pilots who can die in the main battle and we’ll feel like we’ve seen them before (perhaps including female pilots or an aliens).

It would be great to have a few more people we can root for and feel sad about if they don't make it.

I think Ming should be our signature pilot in RotJ. :-D

Matte him into the briefing, show him shooting TIE's, have him blow up.  Heck, make him the one who rams the Executor!

LOL!!!! Guys, that would make my century to participate in the Battle of Endor... I'm not too fond on the dying part... However, it would be an honor to ram my fighter into the Executor though (although I'd have the sense to eject first. teehee). XD

ROTJ:R talk has already started on the Facebook ROTJ:R group as well. =)

Oh and the note about a female pilot... Your wish may be granted sooner than you think. ;)

Check 005's wishlist for ROTJ:R

Let me do some mockups with the female pilot ;)

Pink 5?

 Perhaps because of the noise it would make... No? (Understand: advert).

Can someone give me links to the Facebook pages, please? I found Ming's (not much there, unless I just don't know how to use Facebook, which is entirely possible), but isn't there one that Adywan or 005 or ImperialFighter or someone else made too?

These are the "official" pages:

Hope it's working…

Thanks, guys. Blimey, there sure are enough of them! ;) I did a search in this thread for 'facebook' before I asked, but all I found was a link to a video that isn't there anymore.

This is the first time they've ever been compiled in one post, so no worries.
