I cant see anything AF :/

Youtube sucks when blocking things

(youtube>Trade federation)

-Angel

Mostly this goes to Mr J and if he wanted to enter an other version/angle of the tosche station.

Pretty much im sure this shot with the speeder and this angle can be done in HD

I dont even remember if i had post that here before.

Thanks to ady and his frame stabilizer on that footage.

However, nothing visual happens during the strike to the floor. No sparks, no light from sparks, nothing.

In later scenes when Luke and Vader's sabers strike walls and handrails, there are either sparks or cuts. The same for Return of the Jedi when Luke hits the handrails before defeating Vader, there were sparks flying each time his saber hit the handrails.

I would have done a mockup, but I wouldn't know how to create sparks, if they would be visible. But if no sparks would be visible, at least the flash of light from the sparks should be, right?

Hell sure, why not?

Hi everyone, This may be off topic, but it is related to ESB ... I just saw the new teaser for the upcoming Star Wars Blu-ray set , and in Luke/Vader confrontation cloud city, vader's  lightsaber  is still pink in ESB. what a shame .. What a shame !

Further to my earlier suggestion that the underground bunker be moved up into the air under the dish.

The entrance could now be the backdoor to the dish complex and not the main base with the hanger.

That way when the Rebels go through the bunker entrance they could enter a service elevator taking them though up through a cliff and into the tower (like a mountain lift).

Once again forgive the crudity of this mockup.

Oh..

I got it totaly different.

I thought you meant that the dish/antenna complex would be AT the entrace leading to an elevator.

So pretty much a pan up to down shot indicate the size and the location.

So when the blew it up the dish falls right next to Han to the last moment.

-Angel

Not sure if the pics can do the justice (ic anyone can make a gif. It appears only in 2-3 frames

The X is the empty area when the other two indicate the head.

I believe that shot is before this scene when the falcon escapes from tattoine. 3po still wears his belt and that weird plate with the spoon is in the same position as they escape. Probably is luke that coming that way

-Angel

Thanks Ray :)

Also a little fact. Ben was not the only replicant in the universe :)

I repost this for Mr J:

Quick trivia: Is anyone else noticed that luke's head appears behind R2 D2 when the falcon first get shot and lights are fading off and on? He appears in 3-4 frames and i suggest that he should be removed from that shot.

Wow, I don't understand any of that :-/ ;-)

what did you miss? I can explain if you have questions :)

Still mucking about with a background plate for the Toche Station land speeder intro...its by no means finished yet....shadows on sand around new building....make buildings dimensions decrease for distance etc.

J

One thing i want to add into the composition that you might want to know or consider before any final render is the dense the clarity of the basic shapes and the dynamic lines.

See it as constructing feedback (only if you want to go with that way) and not criticizing :)

See how many times different distance objects are collinding each time(red lines). and how busy a shot feels with many shapes in one side even with haze (green lines).

The new official trailer is now up:

http://uk.movies.yahoo.com/blog/article/234525/star-wars-the-complete-sagaexclusive-trailer.html

so they went in and fixed the crossed lightsabres (and the Emperors slug by the looks of things)yet made Vaders sabre even more pink in ESB. The colours of ESB still look pretty screwed.

All the fooatege looks a bit odd. Even in PT the colors look different. Or they manage to screw this or there was something a bit wrong with the encoding that manage to tilt the colors that way, Even the blue sabers are more light cyan etc

The look of the movie could be rebooted

Coming back to an older idea i came up that adding a bit more color to ANH is to add back the yellowish color in MF door pillars.

While it might look subtle it really adds a bit refresh perspective to color pallete. Also matching the ESB one.

Im not saying that the red light is doable in motion but coloring the pillars is with a few moving masks in certain areas.

Note that in the shot (blury eyes) the focus on the stormtrooper (bright spot) is more enhanced even the background has more details than before.

Also correct me if im wrong:

Behind the stormtroper there is a dark empty area. Either is the set mising or there is located the tunel that leads to the gunner seat.

I have some doubts on the second because this corridor seems more to lead to the cockpit rather somewhere else.

This shot can be done as a long horizontal canvas in motion with rotoing out the moving objects.

Quick trivia: Is anyone else noticed that luke's head appears behind R2 D2 when the falcon first get shot and lights are fading off and on? He appears in 3-4 frames and i suggest that he should be removed from that shot.

-Angel

So this I assume can be seen and tease us for the blue Ties in ANH? Better use to it :)

Its nice to see that the Xwings have a bit more color to them

 I will send you my paypal account first :)

...come again?

Start Making Donations to the Kcutter. It worked before right? ;)

 "Are you an Angel?"

Leave that to me ;)

I liked the new intro of anakin tho.

-Angel

Those two are no comparison.

that is too inappropriate and cloying to be used as some kind of Anakin & Obi Wan friendship theme.

Never said that it was for the friendship theme or style

I thought we were talking about the PT and OT music :P

The piece you posted IMO is too soft to express anything. too flat whatever.

So good that JW still got it so The Kcutter can take inspiration from the war horse then

Anyways i will still stay to my point that PT needs more Yoko kanno style music unless TheKcutter impress us all (he will) with the new music he will create.

-Angel

Now ask your self. What is sound more star wars-y (or ET-y)

The one you posted with Utapau or this:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L1UASdm0MbU

Yoko kano is the John williams that he should have be after harry potter score

-Angel

Thats true.

So stick to the old good OT ;)

Errmm TheKcutter is awesome!

-Angel

You cant listen the score of PT (apart TMP maybe but is not the same) as a stand alone piece. I still have ANH and ESB scores as the best so far because they hardly repeat them selfs in the contex.

In PT the orchestration changes the style changes the melody is nowhere etc etc...

Now im not saying/thought that the PT score if it was orchestrated with the 70s way might sound better or worse but in my experience the scores are pretty much dead with the way they use to be. TheKcutter knows that better from us.

Thats because the best parts were not used/are unreleased!

like the Emporer Motif in I Am The Senate, and Across the Stars right after the death of Mace.

Sorry i cant see them as good music.

Its other making music for a shot/film and other for filling the gaps with an ambient background music.

-Angel

I cant call it lazy, in fact it needs some serious job to compose a piece that fits perfectly to a certain runtime of a shot and express all the feelings and emotions of the characters and the mood just like OT does.

I find the PT score very bland and ambient and it cant even capture the feel of the true symphonic style of the OT. Taking reference of the good williams scores and have Thecutter make new ones from inspiration of them is the perfect balance of tone up star wars by adding touches of JW top works.

-Angel

Not sure if it this got posted here but i found a greek show named Star wars ( O polemos twn Astrwn) and it had the known theme in lullaby version.

My point is he will reply when he wants if he wants or he even cares ;)

Back to theKcutter

-Angel

Thanks for that! It actually gives me Idea for a shot i was looking to do :)

" BTW, you think you could come up with a good/better Droid/Villian theme?

I think something similar (not exactly the same notes, but the same mood) to this would be interesting: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=58wJRrvVgZI
or: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fCQKLKElPBY

But its still up to you.

maybe this will be some inspiration: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bvu3hCmHRf4 "

Lol you said that once!

I love the theme TheKcutter I cant wait to listen the heroic version of it :)

By that, I mean your images are sharp and effective, but not jarring and screaming, 'LOOK AT ME! I'M A NEW BIT!'

The look of the movie could be rebooted especially by the Tattooine shots

Thanks! Everything is doable in motion :)
