The ANH Imperial Theme becomes the Trooper Theme and rescued from the 'once ran' bin of Star Wars music).

Well said..

For concept is good tho to visualize the scene

I'm also toying with the idea of using parts from videogame music - mainly Knights of the Old Republic and The Force Unleashed.

Thoughts?

Especialy TFU! Go for it!

In fact replace whatever you can that is similar to the TPM score and feels out of place and repeated as hell.

Unused cues tho is a good option :D

Cant wait to see some results :D

Only problem was the background. It's not even close in between these shots. We're talking like the walls and doors have moved like 5 feet. And the opening to the 3 elevators upstairs is widened by a huge amount.

/!\SOLVED/!\

..lol

-Angel

Something i ve noticed(sorry heavy gif) right click to zoom:

Inconsistence between the shots.

Red rentagle is the shot that were zoomed out matching the other shot.

Blue rentagles are the differences

Mails sent ;)

I might dig some other Psds if i have them for some other ideas like vader's neck position and place. Its a nightmare searching for psds in this computer :P

Ady will you consider adding some more motion to the snow when the first AT AT falls. it appears that the stop motion technique makes it look like mud/plasticine and not snow.

-Angel ~16 days and counting~

If it works in the crappy PS animation then it should work on the superiority of AE. I can give you the psd if you want( I think i saved it lol)

What is the difference? I can't remember.

See all ESB shots that are in the executor or any SD bridge. They placed the camera with that way that they dont have to show any exterior of the ship's hull.

They failed tho in ROTJ.

in ROTS too as my pics showed above ;)

-Angel

Here 's a fact:

No visible hull in the close ups...

This is no Empire that they hide executor's hull with smart camera placement. here we have windows that facing down :) The hull has been established.

-Angel

Ok here is a test:(right click to see it in 720p)

And the animation(Zoomed):

-Angel

@PM aswered. ;)

@RLeader: thanks for the info :D I always forget that name

Planet can be lifeless.

Hoping for some improved CG in the blu ray releases in AOTC not just yoda(if they are going to change him to be the same in all PT)

Even the camera projection that DE did for ANH is better than the 2d layering in AOTC.

-Angel

Great new stuff from you ady:)

Nice audio touches

Impfighter@ Amazing post as always. I keep the wall's width as a good evidence that might need fixing.

Start demanding your rights.. you deserve it..join the Empire (lol)

-Angel

Nice with the door there bob. You are a real Bob the builder right ? :D

A suggestion, to make the door closes slower matches with the other doors in the ship.

I will bother with this concept when i have PS. I hope is no urgent

This is what I keep poking Angel to do.  He shows all this incredible work, but we never know how he did it or if he would have to work 3 hours on each frame to get the desired effect. ;-)

Then generate multiple duplicate layers (a layer for each different element you wanted to adjust) so you could adjust Yoda's head and gown, the mountain behind him, the trooper, the trooper's stripes, and various sky elements identified by the patterns in the cloud separately.

I'd then reintegrate the image and make final tweaks with colour and tone fields laid over blank layers and applying various blur techniques and adjust transparency to smooth the transition between adjusted elements.

@005: Angels have secrets :P and for the love of Zod.. not 3 hours... that was too much ;P

@Bingo:Thats why im trying to find ways that generate some global results without separate elements. Only in tricky circumstances mask or FX are added.

SSWR: thanks matey. Really hope to see some new concepts from you in motion :D

Lord Grievous said:

Now that we're on the topic of the Star Destroyers near Hoth :)

Could you tell me if you're going to fix this please?

Ady already post an Ion cannon clip that shows the new fleet formation.

(and yes he confirmed that the static SD is fixed in the second shot)

-Angel

Even im not to the bluesky concept

i still like the process. Remembering the dracula acid planet concept .Bingo im still trying to find ways making Geonosis morel like the Acid Rain planet that vader had his planet.

Im sure rogue leader can give more info for that EU factor

-Angel

Rogue Leader said:

#2 The Geronosians would need to be a dark bluish color rather than brownish red because evolution wise it would be a form of their natural adaptive camouflage especially if it's an insect species... Biologically speaking...

Now thats neat!

adywan said:

 i've fixed the continuity problem with the AT-AT pilots having a red stripe in 2 shots when they destroy the generator but don't have them in any other shots during the battle. I've removed them in the 2 shots because it was a lot easier than adding them into the other shots.

You are the man!!! Thanks for that :D

:D:D:D

-Angel

I really searching deep and new ways of CC with ways that can be applied as first or second passes and then the shot by shot rotoscoping CC. I have in mind what can be done with minimum masking work before post production.

Btw notice the pics i posted. The clone in the first image(red) and the clone in the second(yellow) have the same scratches on their armors(lol)

-Angel

doubleofive said:

Angel, were those just filters, or something someone would have to do frame-by-frame to get the same results?

Not sure yet...

Im running more tests and pushing these even more further.

When i have answers and more examples i will let you know :D

EDIT: I can say that the only mask/rotoscope that i used was to keep the red lights in the clone troopers back helmets. Everything else came along nicely done :D

Edit2:

Its me or it feels more stormy now?

-Angel

Some blue sky CC for geonosis in its raw form. no new mattes just the same ol same CG

Testing some new goodies in Photoshop :D

I have to admit.. the clone trooper looks more real :D

-Angel

EyeShotFirst said:

Yeah, he is doing a better job and people are gutting his place. George has a big ranch with pools and restaurants. Ady has to do his edit with a gutted kitchen.

And what that supposed to mean? taking the fact that george and ILM bored star wars and throw us a (crap) SE means that the people in (big) special effects companies do their job less good? Im sure George is pretty happy with his house;) Imagine that you are stacked with a movie that targets you all your life... imagine that you cant escape from your own legend..(sounds freaky)

They are employes that they do their jobs with deadlines and stuff. A project remains a project.. A project contains the factor fans and money.

Ady or any other editor have different values or motivations to do it. Dont blend it together..

Back to ESB:R please?

-Angel

I might suggest the next second draft is in an Avi version so it will be more easy to the free/slow internet users.

still with the avi you may add 720p samples for the new effects presentation and quality control :)

-Angel

Maybe i suggest a possible topic's name change that give more clues about the new release dates that changing from time to time?
