Amazing stuff Angel. Not sure if I'd be able to Toss something like that in with After effects. I'll do some reading about it.

Looks awsome tho

If it works in the crappy PS animation then it should work on the superiority of AE. I can give you the psd if you want( I think i saved it lol)

Heck yeah, what could it hurt? I'll play around with it, and hopefully it can be done. The look is amazing.

Thanks for showing interest in this aspect of the edit Angel,  greatly appreciated.

Mails sent ;)

I might dig some other Psds if i have them for some other ideas like vader's neck position and place. Its a nightmare searching for psds in this computer :P

Edit: Something i ve noticed(sorry heavy gif) right click to zoom:

Inconsistence between the shots.

Red rentagle is the shot that were zoomed out matching the other shot.

Blue rentagles are the differences

Funny but i noticed alot of changes in the background between shots in these scenes.

I was trying to work out a part where Dooku Force chokes Obi, kicks Anakin and then tosses Obi-wan all in a single shot. Because the Dooku footage at the end of the force choke and the begining of him tossing Obi was overlapped a bit. You see the same movements out of Dooku.

Only problem was the background. It's not even close in between these shots. We're talking like the walls and doors have moved like 5 feet. And the opening to the 3 elevators upstairs is widened by a huge amount.

Thanks for the kind words Handzzz. Angel, that looks damn good. I'm gonna be working on the door and some color correction tonight. If I get something worth a viewing, I'll IM you

Started working on color correction on The Invisible Hand scenes, trying to take out as much blue tint as I can from the ships walls, tables and chairs. As an added bonus it calmed down the insanely overdone blue glow on Anakins and Obi's sabers. I think they look alittle more OT now, which was nice.

Phase 3 of Dooku's door has started. The first shot of the door has the new animation. Ive yet to finish the shot as it closes tho. I'll be working on that tomorrow night. So the old door and Red room will be changed to match the new animation very soon.

How does the first part of the door look tho?

Seeing that im wondering if you can eliminate the rotating chair. He supposed to be a prisoner,, how the hell he rotates the chair. He can order a pizza too through a microphone?

A captain can rotate the chair but not a prisoner. Im sure it is doable with minimum effort!

EDIT: Checked the camera pans without any distortion.

Nice to see the blues are gone :D much more color continuity between shots :D

Oh yes. First time I saw the movie I thought the "big reveal" that he is Sidious was about to happen. Then I saw he was captive and was like "meh".

This is starting to look very impressive.

Can't wait to see this!

I suggested to Bob to eliminate the holograms from the ship cockpit shots. Really imagine a hologram pops in your face when you are battling in space..

Keep it more OT and logical. A simple radio transmission is fair enough :)

Did they show that?  I don't remember it that way.  It seemed like it just turned on automatically, though I can't remember for sure.

Really great work by now! I look forward to see this when it be done.

I have a small suggestion.. Is it possible to remove "force field" glow from palpatine's handcuffs in scene above? I think, GL tried to make it obvious for audience that Palpy is prisoner etc, but glowing is rather goofy and really doesn't need to be there to show us something that we already know.

As for the hologram/audio message wouldn't it make sense to see Obi-Wan flick a switch?

He is meant to be in General Grievous' ship so it seems a bit bizarre that Bail knows exactly where to send the message to without Obi-Wan making some sort of adjustment to the ship's equipment.

It is bizarre... It doesn't make sense, and you know why.... George wrote and it he had to do it this way to force more of his stupid plot.

We could have auditions for the role of "The Hand Of Kenobi".

Or perhaps he just uses the force...HHmmm.... No, that's retarded. That's like using the force to open the fridge.

Or to use the Force to open the fridge and to get in it and avoid the destruction of Alderaan.

While space monkeys swing on intergalactic vines while Padme clutches a detached steering wheel after her space hot rod crashes near a Naboo waterfall..... Sheesh....Lucas.....(Shakes head.)

I volunteer to be "The Mouth of Kenobi."

Does it pay like that Mouth of Sauron guy got paid?
