Adding better flames to the Probe Droid as it crash lands.

Meh I thought that sentence meant that better flames should be added in the shots ive made :P

Move along :)

-Angel

I havent really read them at first because i knew what to do, but for someone who doesnt know they are perfectly clear and detailed written.

Also im using CS3 (<--the best) so it works perfectly there too :)

-Angel

Yeah and this Enigmas, but to be honest *I didnt care much* :) too rushed

but +10 anyways

Well the fact that some parts of the asteroid are missing in the wide shot, and (i think) the location is different. thats why i put the mountains in the BG :)

Thanks Sky! As feedback Your action works perfectly :D

-Angel

Nice stuff there Ady!!!

Thanks for the action Sky_ :D!!!

Now take this too:)

Spot the continuity error and fix it :P Im out of here

-Angel

Logicaly when Veers says to the snowtrooper to prepare, the trooper goes to nowhere according that the door is that circle thing behind Veers anyways.

Can anything be done there? :)

Shame that Darth Venal got himself banned because for the brief period he was on here he did put up some eye popping pieces.

Really?  Why was he banned??

Darth Venal was banned??? why was he banned??? is this really true???

yeah, it is true unfortunately.

Maybe his bad language caused his ban anyways

Oh well :(

Blessed continuity, though the Luke reaching up shot could use some tweaking (the ice on the left seems stretched and his feet may have changed position).  I hate to point it out, but I have to.

Thanks for that 005 :) nice catch there.

Good luck with the costume thing Ady. :)

That shot is still a work in progress anyway. There's still a hell of a lot to add to it. But you really need to see it in motion and in context with the following shots. The fog in your mock-up is just too dense. The way i am doing it is adding the mist layers which then will match the shots that follow.

Awesome news Ady!

You know how to make many ppl happy here :D

Nice clip there anyways but i thoughti would see the himalayas yeti instead of wampa! So lame..so lame...

:)

Your 'zoom-in' concept was neat vaderios, but I reckon the (now improved) existing shot establishes a better impact of the 'vast scale' of the vegetation that Luke has landed in, as you can still make out a clearer sense of the surrounding details in it. 

Adywan has mentioned that he is planning on altering the 'angle' of the tiny X-Wing in the shot still, and it will be good to get some consistency with the live-action X-Wing in the shots that follow....since I used to always think that we were seeing the rear of the X-Wing in this shot due to it's wing 'angle', and thought that the 'front lights' seen on the 'prop' had been badly placed here....

It will be good to see this clarified either way.

I didnt care about the angle in this mockup Impfighter just to show a better concept of thin fog and better mood to the shot.

Besides the "details" you are referring are black forms like walls. Sorry but at least define shapes...

Im with ady like i said to add fog, but its not working like he put it IMO always.

I cant really think other shit to make that matte more interesting and mysterious and less revealing as well... trying to improve the black forms at the sametime...

Compacted ice will usually have a bluish look to it though I think...

As an interior shot it just seems too white to me.

I see ady's approach like the camera shoots as natural as can with no special stylised photo effects. I just noticed that ady's version has plenty of blue in it(played wiht some sliders)

The modernize of 2004 was to set moods and situations. Tinted cyan blues was set a stylised cold environment as we see in decent movies( Michael Bay anyone?) Or with several tints manage to make the old elements blended together with no further work.

There will be blood here ......

-Angel

PS: Thanks Johnny :)

However, in the 'longshot' that comes immediately before this shot, it looks like Vader's first swipe at Luke as he comes out of this doorway is outwards , and his blade seems to hit roughly where the 'narrow gap' in the railing is seen.  Vader then takes another swipe at Luke (who ducks), and that seems to be only time the blade hits the doorway exterior.

I said before that i made them aprox :) not really carea bout the position.

If Adywan wants to keep this cockpit shot as it is (which veers sharply a moment later, showing a blurred starfield and Executor in the distance), I'd like him to consider placing the Executor higher up in the frame at this point.

See? it doesnt matter really where to position the executor. when i started reconstruct the shot i placed an improved identical executor pic. But i noticed that its angle caused the perespective paradox. I said that only stylistically POV that shot needs revisit :)

Angel

I'm loving your input and your Photoshop examples, which I have been following with great interest

EXCELLENT

Thanks sky! And thank you for making ady's awesome logo :D

Here's my beef - daylight is blue. Without direct sunlight, snow/ice (and anything else that is otherwise white) looks blue (so shadows on snow should be blue). Unless Ady's taking the GOUT colours as gospel, that bottom shot just looks too much like a set. Mix the top two shots together and you have something approaching nice, IMO.

DE

Oh god! Blue??? BLUE?????

Btw nobody noticed my dagobah shot? I want thoughts to make it better or that if that idea works or not :(

Angel, that shot of the star destroyer's "underbelly" and the Executor is amazing! I really love the mood, excellent lighting and additional detail. If by any chance you're going to make a compilation of best "mock-ups", add this one with a high-rez! I really hope adywan can include it in the Revisited edit.

hah funny because i made this only in low rez. I was in rush to make it so i didnt bother to make it big one :P

I can make it from scratch tho :)

Like i said Vote a top 20 for your mockups that you like more and i will post them like calendar :)

-Angel

For the comparison sake:

Im with ady to add the fog, but it look IMO too  fake having this atmosphere layer on top.

Note that is an establishing shot. The fade of fog can be like i suggested with the camera zoom :)

-Angel

Ady See this approach too :)

Moody,foggy, WTF is going on moment. and slowly revealing the X wing :)

Thoughts?

-Angel

Just messing. maybe remove Michael bay's super tones with more grounded ones.

Ah :D forget what i said! Michael bay is awesome so the colors has to be awesome enhanced :D

-Angel

ho boy! Let me know if you need any help with matte painting for some continuity errors!

Any chance for color correction?

IMAX scenes will be in?

-Angel is a Decepticon

Oh! How i missed that! ABC warrior is back

So this will be far better that your previous flac ESB release?

I ll track the topic for feedbacks :)

take care

EDIT: Feedback for the sample.

It seems the hybrid version worked. I liked that i heard some violins in vader's march. I think in some parts differs from the original score because it goes slower pacing but more beautifully colored. In cloud city theme part i liked how the hidden/alternative detail poped up! Again a bit slower pace than the ost.

-Angel

Yeah but they are secret :)

ROTF? really? :D :D :D

What you will be change/remove/fix/replace?

I beg to remove aaall the repeated footage and footage from TF1.

-Angel

Means that he will not show several shots and stuff until the dvd is coming out. Like surprise elements...

-Angel

Desert Attack:
    *Completely removed Indian telemarketer and credit card gag.
    *Removed Epps lines "Man, If you could see this ****." and "Bring It"
    *Removed "Bring the Rain" line.
    *Rearranged and trimmed much of the footage so that the action flows better.

* After  the big plane shoots scorpnok, we see a pan to soldiers. Zoom/crop it a bit to cut cameraman's shadow in the left corner

I ll said some more about TF if you want :D

When Ironhine yells " Its Starscreaaam" the Lipsync is wrong! fix this too:)

Any consideration for color correction? ( remove the cyan Michael bay's trademark tones?)

-Angel

Very good DE :)

Cant wait to see the new mattes!
