Star Wars Episode III: Labyrinth Of Evil (Released) — Page 4

I didn't really remove Dooku's Sith alter ego, just removed the name Darth Tyrannus because throwing a second name for him into the mix only obscured him even more. We didn't get much of him to begin with. Even if the scene with him and Sidious is removed from the end of Ep2, there's still enough in Ep3 to cement him into that role.

Anyway, I did not know that Clone Wars had a yellow lightsaber; that's pretty cool. It's not me doing the rotoscoping, so I'm merely utilizing what Jackpumpkinhead is doing anyway. 

sorry its taking so long HAL. i really did intend for it to be done already. i've just had a lot going on. i have been working on it in my free time, which has been very little.

ive watched bits of this version, i really like the padme lives scene.

i LOVE the Qui Gon voice. the only thing i would change is lower the volume a bit and maybe add a bit of echo to it to give it that OT Obiwan feel. just a thought.

It's okay, PumpkinMan. There's no real deadline or anything. I think I will go ahead an release a 1080p V3b of Eps 2 and 3 as a Myspleen exclusive in the meantime. If Jackson returns for a Windu spinoff film or other such nonsense, we'll be ready for it. 

Someone else advised that Qui-Gon's voice was too loud, so I've taken it down a little. I listened to ANH and tried to have this voice roughly match that one. I'll try a little reverb and see how it sounds. That and recording the slight variation in the medical droid's dialogue.

Here's a new version of the scene, slightly different from before. I hated this part the most because of my own voice coming into play at a crucial moment. It is not too late if anyone would like to record the lines themselves and send them to me, or post them here. Ideally, it'd be someone else's voice! I have the affect roughly what I'd like, or somewhere between what I've done and what the robot sounded like originally.

I won't repeat what I said at FE.org, but thank you!

Here's some ideas for phrasing. Any thoughts are helpful.

She has sustained severe injuries. I cannot say how long she might survive. We are preparing to deliver the babies. She's carrying twins.

Her injuries are severe, but she is fighting for survival. I cannot say how long she might last. We're preparing to deliver the babies.

Her injuries are rather severe. She is stable, but I cannot say how long she might last. We're preparing to deliver the babies. 

Her injuries are severe. I cannot say how long she might last, but her determination is evident. We're preparing to deliver the babies.

Despite her severe injuries, she has a strong will to survive. I cannot say how long she might last. We are preparing to deliver the babies.

She has a strong will to live, despite her severe injuries. I bet she'd live long enough for at least one of the babies to remember her.

The very last one was meant as a joke, but the first part alone is okay. I'm not sure if referencing her "will to live" is a bit too on the nose and counterproductive.

No, that's too much information out of nowhere. It need to be just enough to allow for her to live a few years and imply she will ultimately die from her injuries from Anakin. The jist is that she is going to live but she's hurt enough that she will die from it eventually. Because I'm not changing the thoroughly 'prequell' nature of the movie (compared to Q2, for example), I have the theoretical advantage of the viewer already having seen ROTJ. If they haven't, then this is merely reason #47 why it doesn't work well to see them chronologically on one's first viewing. Even so, it would leave her final fate hanging until you get to ROTJ.

^Episode II is waiting on some FX work from Jackpumpkinhead. He's rotoscoping Sam Jackson's lightsaber blue. Once it's done I can begin encoding immediately. 

No. He's not had time yet to finish it, and has personal things going on. And it takes about a solid week for me to encode each version. Any ETA would be useless; it's just when he finishes his rotoscoping. But be patient; there's no real deadline for this.

unfortunately i have also been having trouble with my computer and i am worried one of the hdd is corrupted/failing. i rendered a few of the videos and it seemed as though everything worked out okay but when i went to check them my computer started to hang up on me. i am really running on a less than ideal system anyway. i just dont have the cash to get anything better. i will be backing up all of the project files to an external drive so i don't lose anything tonight and hopefully get the first batch of finished videos to you then HAL

*actual literal cringe* Good luck. I feel lucky not to have suffered computer trouble, when I think about how often I hear about it happening to us. Fingers crossed for you.

well it is still running, but it was acting funny. i recently installed a new hdd that was given to me so it might just be the drive. everything should pan out. no worries

Bad news, everyone! Labyrinth Of Evil will be delayed a short bit because the two deleted scenes I'm using that I hadn't used before look like shit when encoded. I'm going to re-rip and upconvert them using the old method, which will require time to reencode the final product. 

And before anyone asks, it'll be done when I have time to finish it. Be patient, and it'll be here before you know it.
