The Rise of Skywalker: Ascendant (Released) — Page 404

Thanks for catching that, I just checked and one of the layers had its animation turned off.

I’ll upload a fix shortly.

I agree, let me see what I can do with opacity and maybe working up gradually to having that shot be just a little bit lighter.

I’ll try to do another pass tonight.

I’m not good with colour correction, someone else would need to test it but, I think Mustafar could look a lot better with a bit more of a Orange / hellish tint, I know Mustafar is rejuvenating itself but I think it looking a little more like Revenge Of The Sith colour wise would be a lot better.

The tint should be a lot more subtle, just not a job for me.

Hmm… This could be interesting.

One thing that could be good for the community to loop around to is adding some lava to this shot.

That seems to be the final touch to really “complete” it to me.

I had to, I just had to. lol!

To address something from MR’s thread, I hadn’t really planned on using his clip of added sparks to the sabers at the end of Exegol. But, the final product looks fantastic!

MR, do you plan to add Rey’s saber crapping out on her at the end of the DSII duel? If so, that seems like a natural buildup to this moment. Also, have you done an audio component to this change?

Please include this! It makes Rey burying them at the end make so much more sense. They served their purpose and now she has her own path. If we really want to try something cool… when Rey ignites her saber there is a green and blue color during the ignition. Can the green be recolored to purple? Implying both sabers broke and Rey used the Kyber Crystals to make her own lightsaber with them would help sell Rey Skywalker more, at least for me.

Thanks. I Have, it took me ages to view a bunch of different sounds but I went with welders sparks in the end. I still need to deepen and delay the sound to match the echo of that clip though.

Yes, I intend to use the clip from the desert before she jumps Kylos ship. I’ve removed that scene so it should work well. Just trying to finish other clips before starting more. I’ll post some test shots when I do them. Would be good to get some ideas of how it should malfunction at that moment?

Before Covid hit I did plan to shoot a new scene where Rey builds her Saber much like Luke’s deleted scene from OT and have her merge both Luke & Leia’s Krystals to make her colour, which would’ve been a pinky violet.

Those are good ideas JarJar, it’s … kinda there to be done.

Those are similar to where we thought on the redux thread but the touble is, it’s a nightmare to remove the Saber glow from most of the fight scene because of how it reflects in the enviroment and the pattern of the rain fall. It’s why I was going to create a completely new shot just after she does the flip. It gives me around 4 seconds of her trying to reignite the Saber before Kylo enters the scene. It’s more how it should malfunction at this point I.e. spark? Half ignite? Have various energy type flickers or just quickly turn on and off a few times as she struggles pressing the “on switch”?

Exactly! I think doing it too many times would be unnecessary. Just a quick scene to indicate there is something wrong. I Feel sound will play a big part in that clip as well though.

If it’s hard to remove the blade entirely, perhaps it can flicker or something like that, implying it went out or at least became unreliable such that she cowers before Kylo’s lifted blade in that one shot where her saber isn’t visible anyway. It shouldn’t be too much, as we don’t want to imply too strongly that the saber is totally shot or anything.

Oh, and that’s a genius idea to make the little lights green and purple in the end scene. (It even makes a tad more sense that purple and green would add up to a yellow hue.) Who’s up for it? lol

That’s a good idea about it dimming or flickering. That’ll be much easier to execute.
