Star Wars: Renascent *** NOW AVAILABLE!!! *** — Page 25

It is tomorrow! Go to sleep, young man! ;)

Left to do I must:

Rework the "dark twist" to the music during the remote training sequence

Re-work the music transition from Obi-Wan's duel to the slow-mo sequence

Re-Working the Millenium Falcon's lift-off

Add in a quick scene of PM after Obi-Wan's death

Very fast flashes come to Vader's mind once he says "a presence I've not felt since..."

Check all of the transitions

Recent Work:

Cut out the prologue

Replace the opening A-Man Logo

Rework Vader's Entrance Theme - Imperial March to fit better

New music for R2's canyon exploration

Fading in and out to and from sepia tones for AOTC scenes to avoid confusion began completed

Music in Ben's hut will be turned down

Removed the droid factory sequence (including the droid-head business during the battle)

Fix the credit mistakes

Adjusted volume in the Dooku/Obi-Wan/Anakin fight

The opening logo is different (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mndve3GStWQ) and the opening titles are different.

I'm done everything (besides checking all the transitions) and I'm just touching up the credits now.

Also, I was going to add pencil sketches of the cast similar to have a credit sequence similar to the one at the end of Return of the King

So if you're good at photoshop and can emulate that or are a sketcher then please post your submissions for the credits. Thanks!

I think Photoshopping existing pictures of the actors using different filters would be the best way to go and would make everything uniform. Although I'm all for real hand drawn and scanned art, it could delay things like crazy!

Thanks to google images I got the credits done! I'll post some screencaps shortly.

Here they are. (Although the writing isn't on the previews)

All I can say now is that the final render will come in the next week or so BUT then I still need to get to work on the DVD menu and I have never worked with DVD Architect so I'll have to learn how it works first. If you guys have your copies of Renascent could you possibly check some visual transitions and tell me if any of them looked too fast or too slow to you? Thanks!

Well the edit's done. I'm just waiting on ady to see what his MPEG preferences were so that I can render it.

Ok, I'll post it in the tech forum.

By the way, the final running time is approx 3:09:50 (3hrs9min50sec)

It's been fixed grammatically and also based on length and clarity. The completed text is somewhere is this thread. I can post it for you once I get to my desktop.

Turmoil had engulfed the Galactic Senate with several star systems having declared their intentions to leave the Republic through a Separatist movement led by the mysterious Count Dooku.

The Jedi Knights, guardians of peace and justice in the Galaxy, were
becoming overwhelmed. The Senate proposed creating a Grand Army of the Republic to assist them. Senator Amidala was returning to the Senate to vote on this critical issue.

22 Years Later

Rebel Starships, striking from a hidden base, have won their first victory against the evil Galactic Empire and its ultimate weapon, the Death Star, an armored space station with enough power to destroy an entire planet.

Pursued by the Empire's sinister agents, Princess Leia races home aboard her Starship, custodian to the stolen plans for the Death Star that can help ensure the safety of the Galaxy.

I don't know if you guys know this, but if I'm working at 23.976fps, should I convert that to 29fps using the DVD Architect MPEG-II template to just avoid pull-down all together for the final render?

I don't know how goog the pull down is in DVD Architect, but I wouldn't want to convert to 29.97fps - that would be just nasty.

If you can MPEG out at 23.976fps, there is a free tool you can download called DGPulldown, which will had the repeat field required for pulldown.

HTH

DVD-BOY

I haven't watched it in a while, but I believe that he's just adding all the text there at once, but if you watch it, there are video clips before the "22 Years Later" part. That may have been from the now dropped prologue, though, so...I'm not sure. ;)

"You throw names and terms at the audience right away that they have no way of understanding"

*cough*The Phantom Menace*cough* :p That's exactly how I felt sitting in the theater. I sure wasn't there to see some confusing political thing, but that's what I got!
