Watching star wars - frame-by-frame slow motion : Cool stuff

ok,

after describing every single shot

in star wars: (need this for a project)

it took about a week to go through it

with breaks..

i realized there's a lot of cool stuff

in star wars that most people have never seen.

(well at least, i've never seen them before)

maybe it doesn't count as watching it.

because basically, you're stepping through

all the shots.

i'm NOT talking about bloopers, or continuity stuff,

colors, or cropping issues either..

but weird things on the screens, strange symbols,

reflections of the crew..

i like the greedo dummy 1 frame:

------------------------------------------

i'm sure there's lot of other cool things 

in there if you look..

How many have noticed this one?

3po and r2 are crossing the corridor on the tantive and getting shot at from both sides by the rebels and the stormtroopers.  They both make it to the other side just as a laser blast explodes near the doorway they just entered.  In this exact second the blast hits there is a few frames missing.  If you look at the troopers and toggle back and forth during the laser blast you'll see them all standing and shooting in one frame and the very next frame a couple are laying on the ground and the others are all in totally different positions.

Yeah I guess that's a continuity error but still one of those things you'd never see unless you stepped through frame by frame.

Agree that this is best done on LD. Especially with a player that has varying speeds of reverse/ff. Then you can have lightsaber battles slapstick style!

 actually, it's even easier nowadays.

any video editting program can do it..

i use virtualdubmod, and avidemux.

you can use the arrow keys. left goes back,

and right goes forward.

another way, is just export a short video sequence

to images. and use an image viewer (i use irfanview)

to go back and forth through them..

poor mans animation...  from the sequences i posted.

if you scroll up and down in the browser. you can

*almost* animate the sequence. scroll faster or

slower.

I used to love watching Alderaan being destroyed frame-by-frame. The laser blast from the DS  splinters and reaches around the planet almost like fingers. Very cool effect. I dunno if it's the same in the SE. I was using the original VHS.

You know, if you wanna have some stuff to check frame by frame, read IMDB's part of this page "Revealing mistakes": http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0076759/trivia?tab=gf

There's a lot of stuff listed there.

yeah, i've seen some of those listed.

haven't checked the SE stuff.

but some of the original stuff would

be interesting to see how visible they are.

not even in slow motion!
