Someone should even be able to recreate the spacing and such if you look REALLY close at Sluggo's pictures.

In an earlier post Sluggo posted a High resolution image with all the spacing and text worked out.

I've done a version using that image trying to get the right perspective.

It's here: http://noneinc.com/SWB-Crawl_Tests/SWB-Crawl-002.mov

comments welcomed.

 

Thanks none!  Your render gave me the chills.  I've worked my butt off to get the thing right with the very limited reference pics available.  I seriously made an early mock-up of this original crawl over 10 years ago.  I was working with OCP to have it available on his awesome Deleted Magic, but it never came together.  It would be great to see this done for Star Wars Begins. 

As far as the scoring goes, would you consider using the piece that is believed to have been the temp track Lucas used as a guide to how Williams scored the thing?  It was a Korngold piece for the score of The Seahawk.

This sounds like it could be the one in question. Wow 00:40 is just like one of the transitions Williams used.  What time start/stops does everyone recommend?

Do you have the working file for the crawl pic?  what's the font.  can play around in illustrator.  I believe I have a scan of the Marvel so if we want to have those graphics also crawl by, maybe that's possible. (probably too goofy)

The font is Trade Gothic.  I don't have the working file anymore due to a compy crash a few months ago. 

Ok new quick and dirty version with Korngold "The Seahawk" soundtrack.

(note: try not to copy these links, files will be deleted as progress is made.  hate dead links.)

Matches the first 2:06 of 'The Seahawk'.  speedwise/readability, this length is probably good, might be on the fast side.  Problem, is the music swells while nothing new happens on screen.  Maybe the transition to the planet should be pushed up.  but that would have the music building as the ships arrive.

So in 010b there's a cut to remove the music swell and have it so the music fade down meets up with the shift down to the planet.

Using the full version A, would allow for a blurb/graphics of the Marvel comic to be dropped in.  Also unsure where exactly the music cue should match the first appearance of the "Star Wars" logo?  there's a big fanfare around 8 sec. should that match the first appearance of the logo or the first appearance of the crawl text.  any old LFL logos to drop in front?

none, check yer pm's

New version up: File Deleted

Swapped out the audio with the one suggested by Sluggo. The Korngold piece is called "Kings Row", and you'll hear the similarities.

(Audio cross comparison here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8AokqzpdA3M )

Also put in some of the Marvel comic since they switched the last two paragraphs. Maybe as the crawl receeds, the images of them filming could be added to fill in the void.

none, very nice!

Sluggo concurs.  Very nice!

Thanks, feel free to recommend any revisions, can push and pull this thing.  For instance is this the resolution you want to work from?  You're right about the background, I used a frame where you could see some of the crawl, so when the new crawl was added, determining where the end fade was could be matched up.  Besides Sluggo's crawl all the elements are temp, recommend a source which you believe is the best (for the star field and pan down), and i'll work from that.  These were from the recent EDITDROID v3 preservation.

As a start that link is finding several McQuarrie images above 1000x750.

or even a Nathan Hamill intro

Different mood but similar theme.
