Wow some good things this morning to respond to
@hal, sounds like it was more of a pain than imagined to remove the original sound with the dagger. Congrats for doing that and it will really help with the focus on the dagger’s purpose. Very nice.
@Sherlock, yes please. I like that SO MUCH BETTER than the original line. It is more fitting and believable.
@Dat_SW_Guy, It’s quick with Rey, which is good since it is so quick it would be hard to sit and compare 1:1 with other scenes with lighting.
I think it may be tough to create something convincing of Finn receiving some lightning since it is a wider shot and would be easier to “catch” the effect and may not look right. My suggestion maybe is to remove the first shot of Finn from the front “receiving” the force push and cut it to where you are seeing him fly back.
With that being said, if someone could add maybe some smoke … vapor … or whatever that comes off of him will sell that it was a force lighting/push thing.
I only suggest that IF it is hard to really replicate a good force lightning effect with such a wider shot. However, what do I know, so much talented work has been done on this I tip my hat to ya’ll.
