Star Wars Saga: Silent Film Edition (Released) — Page 4

Thanks Ringo, but I think I like it better when "STAR-WARS" is centered and smaller, although I agree this design is more "Star Warsish" than mine.

I think It would be difficult (to me) to do a 4:3 version that looks good, and I don't really want to do it anyway.

I understand that to be the "ultimate silent version" it should be in 4:3, with bad sound, and with big text and all.

But there's a lot of scenes in Star Wars that I think would not look that good in 4:3. (a lot of scenes where people are on the opposite side of the picture (they would be cutted in half once in 4:3).

I want this edit to be a nice way to listen to the score, so no audio noise (exept at some points maybe)

As for the text, I suppose it could be a bit bigger, but I'm fed up with my text cards I must say... I almost dream about them at night! lol  All I can do for now is my french cards version and some corrections in the english ones.

thanks Ripplin, I'll check your email.

Perhaps you could try fading the borders of the picture to make it look like it was shot with an old-time lens

Yes Nanner Split, I also thought about that, I think I could do this sort of thing on some scenes with claustrophobia feeling (like inside the wampa's cave for exemple).

find a way to remove, say, one out of every four or five frames, to make the movement look choppier.

I will give it a try. But my old cinema filter don't give much choice about the frame-rate, and I don't use it directly but as an alpha layer on premiere pro (just to get the scratches and noise). So I'll check if Premiere Pro can do what you said.

The filmmakers would use several different filters throughout the film to denote either mood or time of day.

I think it could be a great idea.

Kind of easy to do, totaly in the spirit of the version, and could bring diversity and beauty to the project. Now it will be difficult to choose where and when... Because I don't want dark red pictures each time Vader arrives, nor pink filter when Anakin kiss Padme! lol. It also must be from time to time, when the mood needs a real change like on dagobah; the picture could be...green! lol. So we could finaly see a green yoda in this edit! I don't know, just a thought. I still needs tests on this changing color idea.

The edit could have a (subtle) color filter for each planet(yellow/orange for Tatooine, blue/grey for coruscant etc...) Then some added changes for special scenes when the mood needs a real change.

Just...don't go crazy with the fancy stuff, or it'll look like George got a hold of it. :p

Does that mean I could not use rotoscoped CG T-Rex shots from JP in place of the Rancor? ;)

More seriously, this new version needs to be a good balance between "keep it simple" and "make it different", indeed.

 think its a great idea, don't worry about what people think, be creative...

Yep, I was just joking with my friend Ripplin. :)

Rapidshare links for DVD part1 (clean, normal black and white version) can now be found in the first post of this topic.

Part2 soon to come.

Some told me that they have difficulties extracting the zip files from my rapidshare links.

They were made using "7-zip" (free program) and it extract them well too. So try this program if you have troubles. I'll see if I could do other compresed share with a regular WinRar program.

someone said "The files didn't show up as regular RAR files, so WIN RAR wasn't going to work. I combined all the files with HJ Split and extracted them with the computer's default zipped folders program." Hope it'll help.

Tell me if you have troubles too.

Rapidshare links for DVD part2: see the first post of this topic.

Torrents page will be back in 8 hours.

I think I finished my french cards version.

Still working on the episode1 "dusty" version. (blue tint for underwater/Gungan City - Yellow/orange tint for Tatooine - and red tint for Gui Gon funeral - the rest of the movie is the same sepia tint as the pictures posted here before. I also changed a bit the luminosity filter, now centered toward the middle of the picture when scenes focus on few caracters, scpecialy in interior.

Could you post a few screen shots of the revised version when you have time....please?

almost all sci-fi cheats (including all the star wars series), by

just putting all the dialogue (*ok, with a few subtitles) in english

so we can follow it..

 

there's no easy solution.......

In the Farscape TV series, the main human character don't understand what the creatures says, until some  "liquide translator" is injected in his veins! That way, all the creaures can understand each others. I found that funny!

Perhaps more "dusty" pictures in the next hours.

Ok, some pictures "before/after" style:

I need your toughts about 2 things :

1 - Do you think the text cards must also be tinted the same color as the scenes they're into or simply stay black and white sepia all the time?
