So far, I've already got plans to limit the CG-ness of some of the shots, while still retaining the original visuals
There are numerous ways of reducing the CG-ness. I really want to see what you will come up with:D

Ooh, so it's not really anything too fancy, then. Blast. I can paint, but I wish I was competent at 3D. But... if I want the model look, that might not be a problem, haha.
Depends, really.
ROTS have that CG look. either you continue to give something photorealistic CGI to blend with the movie or go with the from scratch route and make everything from models(the miniatures that were used in ROTS doesnt count :P)
Its all about the execution and balance
-Angel
Photoshop (cs3=still the best), 3dsmax(vray) and photo manipulation( alot)
The rest is the work of the editor to put his idea/my execution in motion.

-New effect shot when Obi force pushes Grievous
The idea of the slowmotion isnt working for me but i can respect of what visual style you want to achieve.
Dont forget that if you want to be more into the OT the direction changes a lot in terms of camera work and shot duration per second.
I will surprize you how different a movie looks with different time only cuts.
The rest of your cuts are excellent and seamless!

There it is!
Don't forget that the audio isn't finished yet. I'm also going to be editing Grievous' voice.
Great new arms and sabers. It sells the idea that he has still 4 hands. :D
I liked the headshot. pretty clean kill. :)
Some notes: Note a bit the bluringess of the saber blade so it matches a bit mroe with the rest of movie :)

I briefly considered actually buying models of the spaceships and doing conventional model shots to more closely match OT scope and feel. Thoughts?
Sure why not
Go in studio scale ;)
Dont forget to find with a small studio cameras lights etc etc (jaitea can help on this)

I think that if you take this edit to the next level like adywan's kind of way, you commit to it and make radical changes that every star wars fan has always wanted, then you have something very special here. But you will truly need to commit to it and make incredibly radical changes. So far it looks good but you could do so much more.
Dont you know BobGarcia's edit for episode 3? Its the closest thing for the result you are looking for ;)

Nah blocked.
Upload it somewhere else might be your only hope.
-Angel
Try Vimeo and see if it works :)
Either you can upload the video file into one of the file sharing hosts :)

I'm sorry I wasn't able to get videos up yesterday. Definitely today. Check back in a few hours, and something should be up!
It is time! :)

aalenfae said:
Yeah, I definitely agree. That's really just a placeholder until I finish a 3D set piece that will blend more realistically.
Im curious about this :)
What program are you using? Any particular renderer?
-Angel
aalenfae said:
The reason for this (temporary) effect is for continuity in my edit.
A temp effect like you said i hope :)
This shot needs more work to make the perspective and the light comes realisticaly and blend with the rest.
-Angel
See? No problem

So my wallpaper DOES reflect the final color then? ;-)
Isnt the color of the Tie fighter kind of blueish/cyanish in your wallpaper?

I agree, but I need the shot for transition purpose. If if was 1 second, that would be enough, but it is only 16 frames. I've extended it to the 30-32 frames (same length as the previous Tarkin shot). Looks much better now. Anyway, few more minor tweaks are needed for this scene.
Very nice video!
One thing that i would suggest is to make vader's movements slower when he says about the power of the force (aka like jaitea did) because he looks going up and down too fast.. He might be expresive as he talks behind a mask but after all he is a villain that can give you his point with minimum if not movement at all :)
-Angel
Just came from Denmark :P
Still catching things up :)
-Angel
Cool!
I cant wait for the next clip of yours :)
-Angel
I guess you could :P
I just thought that for this edit would be a nice way of keeping track :)
-Angel
For example:
I hope that makes my previous post more delightful ;)
-Angel
Very nice news :)
Can you adress all the changes that you are planing to do with all the vader scenes that are planing to change?
And then crosshatch what is done :)
Its nice to have a clearer view of the ammount of the changes even you will add or remove some of them in the future :)

The executor pic has a small mask error when the planet's glow meets executor. Its a small part but i think its an easy fix :)
The ties are gray again. I can take it that its an old screencap.
The new additions (+second unit) in the extended hangar are impressive but a bit brighter that they should be. Generally the hangar has dull lights.
The vader fix is awesome!
I believe you used GOUT footage to remove the glow from lando's face?
The quality on his face seems wrong but i guess not biggie compare it with the terrible glow. I like it!
Nice to see proper blade lenghts in the cave shots :)
Great updates.
-Angel
Very bold move! I like it a lot! Lets see how it works in motion :)
-Angel
Equal and more Admirance to you Mr J! making the impossible, possible since you got here!
Hello to my new sig.
-Angel
No worries ;) Its fine that everyone has different perspectives :)
I worked on OTizing the PT too so its kind of balanced for each project i guess :)
