Hey vaderios, have you ever tried doing a saber mock-up where the colored light is cast on their faces? Just curious.

I want to try it yes. Thx for the reminder.

Hey there! nice sabers there. epsecially the latest one. One suggestion Dont make them so crisp the cores. Add a 0.5- 1.0 blur dependshow close to camera is.

Keep it up :)

adywan said:

so it needs a new matte that shows a smaller window and a matching one next to leias to help fix this issue to make the building look larger that it does at present

I heard the magic word? Matte?

i can do it! Just give some directions!

I overlayed the later shot over the establishing and confirmed:

Thats hot!

Also and idea to color a bit the glass statue in the middle to look like the one in the Vader's scene.

DuTwan said:

 how about to solve the missing window clip we had a blind or shutter come down as she walks off?

Thats an awesome idea.

It proves why leia hasn't any light on her from front, and he closes the window from nervs and because she is upset.

nice one

-Angel

I have the book!

Plus in some scenes we should see the exterior of the cross shaped through windows...

I mean: Whut?

-Angel

The buildings should reflect some of the blue of the sky and have some yellow from the sun. and not being so black and white

@Monroville:

I say it again: ignore the lighting just see the details in the walls. I like how the shapes pop up and add some more to the alien architecture. :)

-Angel

Edit:

The colors in the GOUT are more acurate. See blue tones and yellow highlights. Still not so shadowed

i want to see a bigger place that luke can hide and not the 5x5 that vader searches 2 minutes.

In the establishing shot of the room we see that is small.

Pff cheap sets.

Looking at the screencaps, the duel is over by the time the shield is down.  Unless you put big ships behind Vader and the Emperor during the most climatic moment in the saga, we can't have the ships get much closer than they are currently.  Too bad.

Really, the more I look at the shot where you can see the battle, the more it makes sense to leave it the way it is.

At this point, the Rebel fighters are just starting to be attacked by the TIEs, and the SDs aren't doing anything.  Even the angle might be right.  I'm not 100% sure as I'm not that good with the 3 dimension thinking required, but I think it does work the way it is.

Impressive, someone might have actually thought all this through when they made it! ;-)

The executor should point the death star not been from side.

Either needs executor position or death star position from executor's bridge.

-Angel

I agree with the reflection. It adds more definition to the window.

Go for it

ok i.m blind what's the difference between the 2 mouths! 

-Angel

Ok Some Vader errors here:

1st image: Fixed the conection problem in vader's mouth. also the neck is under the armor as we see it in the next shot.

2nd image: added the missing neck piece

show us some samples getlemen!

 

As soon as I get a decent microphone. My last was lost when I moved.

If I ever did do a Vader voice-over for an animation or fan film, I would go my own creative route instead of just doing an impression. Though if it were in my edit of the films, I would go for the impression.

Is like how far you can go.

You can always rent a studio. Isn much expensive for one hour.

They have awesome machines there.

lol! try talking down a pringles tube or a long tiolet roll.

 

i think having a new voice, if anything, allows for original dialogue.

hah I cant believe this! I used to use a Pringles tube for the voice of grievous! Nice mind transfer there :)

vaderios said:

Btw i have a question. In the matter how close should be the space battle as we see it from the Emperor's throne room windows, some state that the battle should be close but not so close because of the deathstar shield.The question well is how we see the tie fighters taking a fly by in the establishing shot of the Tower and not hitting the shield?

 

-Angel

I think it should be a bit closer (not them flying past the windows, obviously), until the shields drop and the ships get bigger and bigger as they head closer to bombard the surface.

Yep thats good one. I like how the ships are in ROTS battle during the lightsaber duel.

Not just far but they come under the observation tower. Thats my point for ROTJ:R

Thx :)

Changing the topic somewhat, it would be cool to see Luke's X-Wing on the landing platform at the end of that corridor! what do you think?

Its funny that because i tried so many times to make it but the perspective of this shot always is against me..

plus if you take the focal points the holizon is more up and these buildings are wrong placed.

Not perfect, but I erased the part on Leia's building above.

It looks correct now! Still the whole building is a bit weird. Is like it dont match with the rest of the architecture.

nice job Sevb

-Angel

show us some samples getlemen!

DarkFather said:

Why is Adywan replacing Anakin's eyebrows in the unmasking scene? That was one of the few changes that made sense and wasn't obnoxious.

I dont think he will

How about a contineous beam (see Icarus from Die and other day) that slices some capital rebel ships before overheated and fire up again?

Make more sense that to have a laser that is for planet destruction to hit ships.

-Angel

True, but. When marvel took Transformers gave them their sides and character.

Also the voice overs of the American voices are far superior to the Japanese. I cant think Optimus says "Bastard" and "Idiot" to Megatron.

I agree with you about the chaos and comfusio of the space battle, like ROTS, so it will be cool to see Endor space battle to this scale.

How about Unicron Vs Death star? ^^

Monroville said:

The background when Luke enters the city need something done to it, that matte painting behind him seems like it's supposed to be the edge of the city or something. I dunno what needs done, but that painting needs to go.

I concur.  Either add some moving clouds just to give it some life or show the X-wing on a landing platform or something.

I made this some days before:

If you remove the lights i said how of the hidden detail poped up( wall shapes)

Oh boy! Tru calling on the holophone.

Maybe the Death Star laser hitting the Executor idea could be worked into the Piett Insurrection idea but then again no, the superlaser on full power could take out a planet so even a big capital ship wouldn't stand a chance unless the batteries were low.

 

Well, it wouldn't have to be Piett at the Endor party doing the hand shaking (though I would like it to be if possible, since he is in essence the "Wedge" among Imperial supporting actors). 

Another way to think of the DS beam is like this:
the beam is powerful enough to destroy a planet, which makes it an EXTREMELY powerful energy blast.  If it hit something like a starship (which has nowhere NEAR the mass of a planet), the amount of energy hitting the ship (and destroying it) would be extremely minimal and the rest of the beam would carry through - like shooting a high-powered bullet at someone without armor or better still, a piece of paper - it goes right through them and continues on until gravity or heavier, bulkier obstacles stop it. 

Another way to look at it would be shooting a howitzer shell at a bird: the bird would disintegrate and the shell could conceivably continue on until it hit something far more substantial.  Also, I was thinking of ROBOTECH and some other anime where such beam weapons show a similar "swiping" effect. 

For a more general "big battle" montage to help give some ideas as to how to expand the JEDI finale:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t8OwY86Pd5c&feature=related

So whether the Executor is "cut in half or into pieces" or you show multiple ships just exploding ala the above Youtube link, either would be great to emphasise the power of the Death Star.

Leave the jap/anime/manga culture out of Star Wars.

They Ruined transformers,TNMT etc. don't let them to destroy SW too :S

The reference is good tho.

-Angel

This is interesting but i would like to see Something more like a tower than a Fortress.

Also the idea the tower to be in the DeathStar ring isnt bad at all.(see Force unleashed)

Btw i have a question. In the matter how close should be the space battle as we see it from the Emperor's throne room windows, some state that the battle should be close but not so close because of the deathstar shield.The question well is how we see the tie fighters taking a fly by in the establishing shot of the Tower and not hitting the shield?
