I feel like I have to counterbalance this with my own view which is that I concur with what has been said before: those two shots, as they are currently, don’t flow from one to the other, particularly the forest is not apparent in the castle shot. I like the 3 shot one better, although it isn’t perfect. But from what I remember, most planets get like 3 establishing shots in this movie (or at least several) anyway
reylo?
How’s the progress on Rey’s eyes?
Haven’t had the chance to work on them yet, since I’m still trying to figure out the Mustafar intro.
Speaking of, I realized that the light source in the pan-down is coming from the left while our other shots have the light coming from the right. Also in the pan-down, the TIEs are on the left of the screen which would imply that they enter from frame left in any subsequent shot. Keeping these things in mind, here’s my take on the opening:

I also put some lava in what looked like a river in the forest flyover.
Since we know that the RO shot is very similar in its opening to this one, I don’t think anyone should mind if the beginning of the biomes shot is cut. This way the back of the shot is emphasized, a part that wasn’t in RO.

Pretty sure Fixing Disney Star Wars were the ones that wanted that done. Wonder why Petrovelly posted it for everyone to see.

This look beautiful Nev, honestly amazing work👍.
I personally still prefer the three shot (with the biomes shot used instead of the RO version). It has more locational clarity and much more ominous and atmospheric pacing to it. But they’re both great, I just slightly prefer the three shots establishment of the environment and the ensuing tension it creates with the build up to the kylo shot.

What if the order was flipped?

The Biomes shot doesn’t really leave room for three shots.
And, Nev, I like that, especially if it makes more lighting sense. Did you zoom into the Biomes shot a bit?
I never had the nerve to make the final cut.
There’s a slight zoom in the previous renders (to fix some strangeness and better frame the forest) which has been carried over to this one, but there’s no additional zoom from the old versions.

Oh wow! That is really good. I’m still fine with not using it. Petrovelly did an incredible job there, but it does look a bit too video game looking to me.

I really like how they aged Vader’s castle!
I was in a hurry looking at Nev’s most recent clip until now. I like the subtle touch of adding lava to the extreme right side of frame for poppasketti’s forest flyover shot!

I just realized I don’t have the link to this edit anymore. Could someone give me a PM? Thanks in advanced.

Agreed 100%!

I have a VFX suggestion. The last shot of the ties flying over we see red and yellow laser shooting below??? I know it may sound a little silly but its an idea that popped in my head.
All my life as I looked away to the future, to the horizon. Never in my mind did I know where I was, what I was doing.

A good idea…for someone other than me to achieve 😉

I agree. Would it be possible to add some lava (small line) in the center of the right frame, so it doesn´t slip under the audiences radar?
I imagine that being pretty tricky. I’m planning to sit down with Mustafar for what may be the last time tonight, and export something truly finalized.

^ agreed. Great work Nev

Agreed, brilliant as always, Nev! And I like the extra focus on the back lava river before that shot too - just have to resync the TIE sound FX.

Okay, this has won me over on the two shot option. Brilliant ideas all around.
