Star Wars - The Purple Planet Saga (a WIP)
Time

After messing around I managed to change the sky color on Pasaana to green. I could also go for a deeper cyan, maybe blue, but other colors would just create too many artifacts. After some fine-tuning the resulting grade looked great to me, although it would require fixing the lightsaber color in a few shots. However, I don’t really feel confident in using it. It feels like not enough and also cheap reusing the same gimmick as Onderon by recoloring something already there. It kinda makes me wanna work on my tropical Pasaana idea, but I know right now I don’t have the motivation to dive head-deep back into the editing room again, and even before didn’t have the will to learn all the CGI shenanigans it would take to add palm trees.

Btw I redid all the purple for Onderon in a different program with better color grading tools, and it looks fantastic in most shots. Alas there are still many others where it’s too yellow to recolor properly. Not sure what to do about those.

I think I’m gonna change the purple planet from Teth to Onderon, as it’s a much closer fit to the look I’m going for. They’re both in TCW so what difference does it make (besides some SWTOR fanboys squealing). Teth has absolutely everything purple, including sky and rocks, whereas I prefer having just the plants in purple, like Onderon.

Teth

Onderon

Kinda hate that Onderon has a name that’s so similar to Alderaan though.

If you need to B*tch about something... this is the place
Time

I’ve just had the most miserable weekend. Three days off and I’ve done nothing with them because I have nothing to do. Then of course at the end I see something that reminds me of how much I’d love to make another film, but I’m still stifled for ideas, let alone ones within my budget, and all my precious attempts were too ambitious and visually stumbled over their own feet resulting in a distinctly unprofessional finished product. So far all I can think of is a guy going back in time to prevent his own past mistake. It’s not much but it’s a start. I’m still lacking that passion though. Then again, I lack passion for any project at all nowadays and it’s what’s been killing me.

Worst Edit Ideas
Time

In the opera scene, when Anakin says “The Jedi think selflessly, only of others,” add a phoneme so Palpatine replies “And the Jedi donut.” Rotoscope a large donut into the centre of the Jedi Council scenes earlier, so that it sounds like Palpatine is reminding Anakin of an important piece of Jedi doctrine.

Now I’m picturing Mace Windu and company getting all excited when Anakin brings everyone donuts.
