Hi Adywan, been following your progress for a few years now, and been checking in on the forum, but i lost my password etc long ago under the username vader1138. Anyways, just rejoined as i have an offer/question etc for you.
I'm an artist/sculptor and LOVE your ANH-revisited. (would love to know if you ever plan to release a 720p mkv of that by the way)
Anyways, theres a shot that i would have liked to have seen in Empire, after at at captain says "Lord Vader, you may start your landing" we never see Vaders ship land on Hoth. Now, in the prequels, which have their flaws, i love the hardware in them, especially the gunships. So, i was considering scratch building an Imperial gunship of my own design. If you would be interested in including a shot of it lanfing on Hoth, wit vader anf a few troops standing in its doorway, i could film it against a bluescreen and send you the footage to play around with.
I would be making it in scale for the 5inch action figures, and animate it stop motion as a very quick shot.
Reason i was wanting to see a new ship in the battle is we would have normally seen vader shuttle, which is done to death, and seeing a new ship coulda been cool. Anyways, havnt built it yet, so let me know what you think?
On another topic, heard you on you-tube radio station thing, great to hear your a fellow Brummy. I'm originally from Walsall but not anymore. Great to hear you used cut-outs for tie-fighters in aftereffects too. LOVED that scene. I made film (crappy film) using similar tachniques as that. Its on you-tube also,
search... ESCAPE FROM KIRKUK, on youtube, rubbish i know but i was experimenting with animation etc. I know how gruelling the editing process is as it took me over 2 years to complete. Anyhow, good luck with Empire-R i cant wait.
