Anyway, everything is shades of gray. I dunno if I'd call it fanfilm, since the actual amount of totally new material is still pretty small in comparison with the overall movie. Doesn't even matter what it's classified as; people are going to come in droves to follow the progress and watch it no matter what.

I guess you are right. The problem is even with the smallest amounts of newly added and filmed material falls into copyright rights from ady and the second unit(?). The bottom line is if ady allow the edit will be copyrighted free from the point of view of using the new elements but given credit for the effort.

I guess since fan editing is not a clear concept in terms of copyright, Adywan would hardly register any material, since that would imply oficialize his activity and you never know how things could end up happening, he could be risking years of work...

I guess then that adywan can't copyright any of the new filming footage that will be incorporated into the movie yes? so it will available for any use all over the net credit or not given.

Itmight the legal grey area for the copyright restrictions at the end.

Its time for the ESB:R be transform into a fanedit-fanfilm hybrid? Cant see the reason to remain into the fanedit only status anymore :P

Nice news on the activity on hoth

-Angel

Are the cutscenes in HD?

Im afraid the quality differences might be too obvious :/

-Angel

Its already shrunken and we already see that widen up with the wrong way is worst that remaining to the usual path.(most of the EU, games, comics etc)

Its like the story needs Ben, Bail and Anakin as main protagonists and Tarkin palpatine megatron as the shadow forms or twists.

The idea tho that owen seem so cryptic might be a nice small story arc.

-Angel

I like what bingo said. Well put.

Any suggestions for a quote from Mr. Neeson, be at TPM or otherwise?

What scene you have in mind Spence?

Also not sure if helps but for Ewan, he has some nice lines saying the word "jedi warriors" in the Men who stare at goats. Many times i believe.

An interesting teaser/side project could be a render of just the color correction/new elements with no actual film background. Like them against a white background? Could be interesting. *shrug*

And risk someone steals the new CG elements from the edit? Madness.

Watermark this edit quickly!

Nice idea tho. Pretty much a demo reel

-Angel

Ady are you using plain layers from creating and animating the starfield?

I noticed that they lack of distortion. When there is movement.

Any ideas to make like there is a big sphere that in the great movement shows some depth?

I think the 3d space that used in PT were more realistic. Just a thought

like a camera distortion helps the effect if you know what i mean.

-Angel

Lets stick to the ordinary star destroyer at first. its like have a new ship that will not get the screen time it needs for serving that purpose.

We can achieve many things. First take the already established locations we saw in ANH and enlarge them to death.

Were it was a millenium falcon on a big hangar no we have a star destroyer in a bigger hangar.

Also showing how massive the second deathstar is and what capacity is capable to handle with no problem... even incomplete!

Finaly we can add Unicron eating the deathstar and have the space battle be over the cybertron ;)

-Angel

PS: that would be nice :P

Look how big the executor is :P(right click view image for full scale)

Maybe make that ship the villain instead of the ordinary death star ;)

Yeah i have that in mind :) Ryan Church is god :)

but what if the emperor arrived by star destroyer, ie, have the star destroyer LAND in DRY DOCK in a massive hangar? bearing in mind this is the first time we have seen him in the flesh for two movies (and about 25 years) so some eccentricity would be pretty essential.

Say again? have actualy a star destroyer lands on a hangar??? Wow that would be massive!!! That would be a really empirical arrival for sure..

I have to get the funds for this shot :P

-Angel

Does it count if you download them as image sequence? :)

Harmy said:

He is actually doing some more work on them now.

And with some nice surprises ;) Oh well..

-Angel

Bump for justice and never let this topic die :)

My solution is: They hear the dragon; then look in the direction of the noise, and see nothing... They freak out and run. It's going with the idea that it's the things you don't see that scare you the most.

George Lucas said:

This solution doesnt affect the visuals and i have to pay the animators to do something.It doesn't create any tension and depth that required for the upcoming 3d release. Thats why a new CG dragon will be added created by the high count of Ben's midichlorians.

The following shot as is will not be in the edit :)

The emperor was a mockup from ROTJ.

No clips available

BarBar Jinkx said:

one thing that always bugged me about the end of RotS is the fact that vader crosses his arms (very un OT Vader like) I keep imagining that he is about to accidentally switch off his respirator unit thingy™. can this new 3D Vader be stood in such a way (hands on hips perhaps) so as to change this?

I dont know what are you talking about (lalalala) >_<

Kapheen said:

Another potential idea: Can the same hilt with a different crystal produce a different colour? Maybe Anakin didn't swap sabers, he just put in the red crystals.

Find me a way to show it and i might consider it. Now manage to calculate where to put the scene, why, how long it will be, if there is a dialogue and how it will affect the pacing and all.

No updates sorry

Can i expect he will reach me someday?

Ganamae said:

we do take turns in doing stuff if needs be.

Good to hear that..

Now you can take 005's turn and answer me if you can.

He seemed to miss the opportunity to do me the honor.

Where, if Andreas (the 3d modeler) has some contact info please. :)

Thank you

You are right, Angel. I suspect that a bit of digital painting will be involved in order to reconstruct a few frames.

What do you mean by "creating patches as a global fixer"?

Its like making big areas that will not change in one layer and track the shot with them. Then you can roto out the moving objects and then do the fine tuning with frame by frame. The size might vary. Even matte paintings can be used as patches.

ILM did that technique by adding a patch of sand layer for removing the shadow under the speeder  so they could add it again.

Darth_Editous did a similar solution for removing the flying droid in tattoine.

Photoshop as prime use yes, then use compositing programs as combination for tracking and stabilizing :)
