I just watched "Labrynth" and the sequence where the puppet-monsters took off their heads. It was effects by ILM using men in black velvelt suits and old school double exposures and optical matting, but it got me  thinking about Yoda.

Imagine for a moment, if in AOTC, instead of a CGI Yoda, we had a fully realized puppet capable of all sorts of amazing things the original puppet was not capable of, because ILM would digitally erase puppeteers from the frame!

Yoda could be simultaneously manipulated from below, above, and boths sides, allowing an unimaginable range of movement and expression for a puppet, while keeping that intrinsic heart and reality a puppet carries.

If only.

Actually, that was a British fx house. ILM just did the matte paintings for the film.

Vaderios.....you come up with some cool junk!! Not all of it is obviously just right for Ady's Edit, but most of it is so cool nonetheless! I wish you would provide a way for us to download or link us to your screenshots so that we could use them as wallpaper or just have them around to check out from time to time. Some of those Bespin shots, and the clarity and uniqueness of a lot of the others would just be great to have as a Star Wars fan. 

On a different note....never noticed the Prom dress on Vader in that Hoth entry shot? Maybe Ady could add some fishnet stockings to go with the skirt? Peace....

^^ Would have be Sith-Black fishnet stockings.

LoL

 I stand corrected. Regardless, that technique with digital technology instead of opitcal used to remove the puppeteers could still be used to enhance puppeteering, instead of try to replace it.

Hi rez junk?

He doesn't mean "junk" like its not good, he's just being informal.  Yours is high quality work, we know that!

DoubleO's right :D

Your 'junk' and Adywan's updates on ESB:R are the only reasons why a lot of us even come here every day.

The name you're looking for is "Henson", as in Muppets.

No, it's not. Henson did the characters. I'm talking about the visual effects.

One thing that annoys me a bit about when Vader enters Echo Base.   His helmet seems wierd... like extra short or something.  It's hard to explain.

Actually you have absolutely right. The helmet of vader, changes all the time. The one you pointed as short is the one that when he turns his head to the right direction, right?. Well that helmet supposed to be the first helmet to be in production and its from ANH as well. the mask and the helmet is glued together so there is no way to be separated. but after that they rethink the length of the helmet:)

Nice mockup there Bingo :)

 Thanks for the link.  The shortness in that one shot is really annoying, though.  I don't know what bugs me about it, it just doesn't look right, I guess.  Adywan, you couldn't do anything to fix the helmet in that scene, could you?

Is that not the worst photo of Vader you've ever seen? The helmet is crooked and the chest plate is... completely wrong.

 It's just Vader's version of a bad hair day.

I am very excited to see the Adywan version of ESB! So I periodically check. And check. And check. Why no comments? Because I want to see the same quality of work he did w ANH. So I'm giving some applause to the artist here, and staying the hell out of his way. Keep it up!!!!!

Because sometimes, something you cant have, is more sweet that something you already have, here 's a hint.

Vader factor +50

Ady into frustation +150

Doable? Live young or die hard

 That is SOOOO much better.  That shot has bugged me for so many years now, that even just a fixed picture is awesome.  Thanks!!!  Now if Adywan can do that, I'd not only be very impressed (because I have no idea how the above image was even done), but also very happy! lol
