Well ANH is general pretty dull and faded. In some places its blury and out of focus. modernize the movie with each way you know is a step closer to what i want to do :)
But i dont think its over the top compare with the crushed blacks we have today in movies. Just a tip of tonality is back
Thanks tho :)
-Angel
but not in a ILM SE kind of way,
What do you mean?
The 1080p HD broadcasts Because the Dvds i have cant do the justice :)

Love these images Angel, to get background plate for the speeder mockup could be tricky to last the entire scene.
The top shot looks do-able
J
You just need a longer canvas ;)
Glad you like the non vegetation shot :)
I noticed that tho is impossible to fix all the light continuity errors, i came with an idea of placing in strategic places some altered lighted images/rocks so it can see the idea better and Tie the shots better. here is one example:
What do you think?

I would likely donate it to Ady in the hopes that he would incorporate it.
Donate..eermm Pay to a freelance 3d animator who wants job and he will make you whatever shot you want ;)

It certainly reminds me of...
That is Correct Bingo.
Also (mostly this goes to Mr J) I noticed that tattoine in some places have some dry vegetation, i think in the shots of sandpeople and in several shots when the speeder of luke runs from on point to another.
Would be better to remove the vegetation and have a really dry planet that the only little oasis are from the vaporators?
(This image tuned good enough. insnt the rock looks like a scull?. I improved the flatness of the shot adding a more dynamic atmospherics. Looks bigger)
Which comes to the second (more important) element i want to note. We see 3 times luke's speeder runs from left to right in side scrolling view. Not to mention i would love to alter the background so it has better perspective and detail but even more radical in some shots to change the perspective of the shots have them a bit more newly look rather an old (clever) time passing/transition.
I will come up with a new angle later :)
-Angel
I came with an idea of making the scenery more interesting while a more imitating landscape of tattooine.
A nice industrial location in Bangladesh where they brake old ships can fit to the backyard of the jawas.
Altering the establishing shot of mc quarrie's paintings and make the shot a bit more real/industrial.
Credit to the photographer that made the mood the way as the OT look like with simple colors and not extreme skies :)

I want to improve this shot, I still think the buildings look too artificial also, maybe I'll go back to the original Toshi Station footage (or recently photographed location pics...)
That would be ideal. Keep it alternate and real as possible
-Angel
Its a paradox ;) Who you think is under the helmet?

I have stabilised R2 at the beginning of clip & fixed a couple of glitches in the previous clip
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gfK4HSma9gg

Nice work Mr J.
The stabilization is very good and its not dead steady while keeping the nice reflections :)
"Very nice work on the shadows ( im impressed with that!!!)"
-Blue
One thing. The sand as well is looks it looks off because the buildings have very hot spots in the highlights. Either you have to tone the highlights of the buildings (some areas are too contrasty too compare with the realistic looking sand (blame the 2004 transfers or Zod i dont know)
One nice touch will be to remove or desaturate the damn blue electric engines from the speeder.
-Angel
Yeah you can say that after a while in PT all the saber sounds are messed of what is evil and what is good.
You can have a distinctive sfx for good and bad guys each time you see a specific color of a saber.
So since its a white it should have a different effect. It sells the concept better rather just use the same ol same that tells another story
-Angel
Why white? It doesnt mean anything?
Careful around the red edges because you lose color from the background.
I hope you can come up with a new saber ignition saber because the good/evil ones cant match with a white one i assume..

Weird to see so many non-ESB:R posts in a row
Back to ESB:R
Ady did you do any tests with the new camera you got? any test runs to see if it has the results you want?

i have some of SSWRs videos, but would love to recover them all. does anyone have any?
I really dig the date game video for sure :)
@Mr J im working on a shot that you might like :)

Jaitea said:
Thanks Angel for posting Darth Venal's pics......they do look perfect....Ben's hut just looks more authentic....in keeping with the rest of the movie.
J
Make sure you will remember Darth_Editous Camera projection in this matte.

Bingowings said:
Lot's of your own images Angel have dropped off the boards but I appreciate that it would be difficult to go through every post and re-instate every one of them.
I particularly miss SSWR1's videos which were a treasure chest of ideas, if I had the means back then and knew what was going to happen I would have copied them (though obviously I wouldn't have put them back up without his permission).
I put all my mockups in my DA page (see my sig) Unless you suggest to make a topic and upload them all there :P
I miss SSWR's videos too :(

Jaitea said:
I've been reading through this thread and I noticed all Darth Venal's mock-up images have gone, I remember they were very good, does anyone have them saved?....especially Ben's hut.....I've been noting a lot of the suggestions.
J
Darth Venal is Awesome!

While I was looking at this, why are the Falcon's engines still fired up when it is being pulled into the Death Star, Han does say "I'm on full power kid, I'm gonna have to shut down"
Maybe during the top shot I could power her down.
J
Aye! Sharp eye once again. My notebook of ANH changes just got bigger :)
@Ray: I love the Bings idea :)

Although, what I find curious is that it is documented that there were digital projections of TPM in 99, so why didn't they use the digital copy made for those projections for the DVD?all.
So you can buy it again ;)

Jaitea said:
@Angel, I'm actually re-doing the sense something clip at the minute, so I'll have a look at the Hanger
J
Great! im eager to see every video you will make altering vader or any other part that looks off! If you need me let me know :)
Everything that makes that film altered and unrecognizable is welcome :D

Jaitea said:
Thanks Angel
need more suggestions
J
I ve noticed that when you slow down vader's voice and pitch down his voice he sounds even more close to his ESB performance. Playing with the equalizer you can make his voice deeper while removing the fast breathing that he has in ANH with the deeper and slower from ESB.
You did a bold move removing some of the bad lines of vader in ANH (sense something etc) which i agree making him more mysterious and more close to him self.
The millennium falcon enters way to boring into the hangar. a well placed angle is more interesting.
-Angel
You are Awesome!
ANH needs millions of that stuff to look better visually :)
You have a keen eye sir :D

There are so many differences with the TIEs in ESB anyway, I don't think it even matters. (not to mention the extra workload for little payoff)
Differences? where? The different colors and the different firing rate? Since the R saga is to blend all together uniformly.
Ady confirmed that the ties will get a uniform (blue) treatment to ANH:R and all the R saga so im saying why not have the ties with the correct cockpit when the exterior shots are clear enough. Im not talking about the shots that the ties are dots but ESB has some nice close ups of the Ties that if only is important you can fix the error with the cockpits.
-Angel
Ziz said:
What do you mean rotate the TIE cockpits? You mean the window behind the pilots that doesn't exist on the exterior? I think the easier solution would be to insert some kind of wall behind the pilots rather than re-design the TIE.
In ANH for example we have the different cockpit as well in ROTJ too.
In ESB we dont have interior shots of the ties but still if that is to be fixed then why not changing them all for continuity sake...
The tie model has the octagon window that^ way.
In the cockpit view has it that way^ you cah see the octagon has been rotated
When it should have been that way^( ignore the fun game HUD)
Or just change the exterior like that way? ^
(full of crappy pictures today)
Small differences? Doesnt worth the shot? keep the continuity error as an urban legend of star wars?
-Angel
Jaitea said:
shadows set to hard, rendered with motion blur &
Motion blur is good.
engine lights pointing directly at camera with lens flare
Star wars doesnt have so many lens flares in space in OT apart is an optical bug from the lenses. You added a starglow effect in the engines which is good (ANH is full of that cross lens shit all the time)
I'll try it again but in multiple passes & as you say render in 2k then down res it for project
Try that but not limited to. The up rez solution will give you some valuable film artifacts and a less clean rendered look. V ray is a nice option but even a scanline render with the proper settings can be used as a nice base
This image might help you of some useful artifacts that you need if you want to break some of the CG looks.
(most of the errors i see are when they just scale down detailed elements into a simpler environment. They havent have the same density of detailing and the damn simple blur cant do the justice :)
, the Death Star is still....& planet does pan slightly, so perhaps a slow scale for Death Star.
The deathstar even in the closeups in ANH shows some turning curvature that adds a bit more life to the shot
Any ideas of anything more menacing than a needle for the Torture Droid, perhaps a dentist tool
The only thing that comes to my mind is to stabilize the probe while entering the prison room. So fake and bubbling
