The process is no new to me but the tutorial is a nice beginning for those who care :)

The problems start as you said when you deal with discoloring and brightness flickering.

Experiencing cleaning the toche station footage many distorted frames causing many troubles in the cases on humans that are not static...

Lots of hand painting :)

Creating patches as a global fixer as start may be better before getting into the fine tweaks.

Can they be done?

Is it just me, or did AntiMatter's avatar just become strange?

It happens when the image doesnt appear and its link is broken :)

When I start a dedicated thread at a later time, I'll go into more detail. Because it's more than just clone-stamping in Photoshop.

Finaly! Now we are talking ;)

-Angel

It has been established that not all the stuff is being shared by adywan with the rest. But i believe these are probably were..

At the end I guess If we knew half the things he knows about Revisited, we're probably short circuit. ;)

I can say that the donation drive went very well, though! We thank you for your generosity, we'll all benefit from it soon enough!

"We?"

Are you the official spokesman?It must be tough :/

 But George could also announce in 2014 that he´s remaking the original movies to release in 2017 instead... :D

That would be ideal! :D

All of the CG models are available on scifi3d.

Yes i know that. I was referring to the modified ones( any kind of modification) that andreas did for this project. So i assume its a part of the project.

-Angel

I would be rather interested have these models rather the physical ones. Or do i have to donate to get them..;)

But i guess is a matter of andreas after all eh?

Does this artist have any contact info?

-Angel

No worries my friend. Keep posting ideas and contributing :)

I think you guys are missing the point of what a FAN EDIT can be. Why not make it so they have a better relationship by adding/cutting/restructuring scenes? That's entirely possible, I've seen it in other edits. Giving him a red lightsaber at that point in the saga just says "Another sith." instead of "A fallen Jedi."

We are not missing anything captain.

The red saber was bob's idea when the first workprint was released. He changed his mind when he saw that new visuals can redeem ROTS so he start over with new ideas and fresh perspectives.

I havent seen other edits that justify the brother vs brother entirely but still they did create some room for improvements.(except the theKcutter's maybe he is awesome)

Also i said it again. This edit does not comply with the typical canon of star wars. Its bob's universe and he can create his own continuity along the movies/sagas. He can have luke with red saber if he wants at the end ;)

Also i was never into what a lightsaber color means in fanedits. I tend the use of blue=good vs red=evil and thats it. Bob respects that.

The matter of a purist version of the film is being considered but in an entire other level that i can reveal... ;)

-Angel

The brother vs brother never worked for me.We never get any glimpse that these two are brothers or even friends..but..

...Better show two best friends that now are in different sides with any means nessesary.

If only that came across on screen.....he was portrayed as evil from the start.......

And that still doesn't answer my question: why give him a red saber?!

This is isnt final my friend. It looked cool at the start of the project but still not sure if its at the end. The coloring at the end of mustafar begs for a little blue so thats why they kept the blue colors originally.

you know, if someone (thinking angel) posted a step-by-step tutorial of how to recolour just one frame of b+w film in photoshop, using specific numbered colours, or a swatch. 20 or so of us could easily munch through some of that footage.

I can help whoever wants. Anyone who wants something can PM me and i will assist/ help/ contribute/ suggest/ things. :)

 I'll post a test clip of the opening tomorrow or the next day. The Neimoidians are going to be subtitled, as I let someone borrow my microphone.

Great :) Its good to take first tastes.

Btw have you consider to use as much as possible the vocabulary that is used in OT? Pretty nice retro words that will give an originality to the edit/PT

-Angel

I with you Optimus :)

SpenceEdit said:

Maul's voice will be pretty similar to his original voice, I can do a fairly close version of that. I like the calm and collected voice. It makes him even more sinister, I've always thought.

Will you keep the name Maul in the movie? do you have ideas of other names with better connection with the other movies?

-Angel

Also, I feel the invasion sequences of Naboo needs to be made more ominous. Currently, the lighting is very cheery (at best neutral) daylight.

Mock-up:

I did this kind of mockups back then similar to yours. Giving TPM a more serious tone. Not sure if anyone remembers them :)

Forgive the naboo ship shot :/

All the noise in that scene can be lessened. It's scenes like the Anchorhead scenes with Luke and Biggs that are the worst, because a lot of noise takes place during dialogue.

The movie itself is like that. I would love a new artificial mix that everything is controllable and interchangeable no random loud footsteps or cheap set sounds ;)

The guys from tron legacy explain how a good sound mix can be and all the difficulties they had.

I'm thinking about dubbing Darth Maul as well, as if I do change the grievous voice in III and I want to use the idea of them being one and the same, the voice will need to sync up.

Its interesting how you can pull this off. I mean there are rare moments you can see to peter serafinowicz talking in the movie. Battle quotations is a nice touch if you consider this idea. more like vader vs luke sort of thing

SpenceEdit said:

He could start to fall down the pit, then an energy blast could engulf him. Obi-Wan watches, the blast stops, he switches off the lightsaber and runs to Qui-Gon. Badass.

Sounds fair. I cant wait to see how it will blend with the rest of the story/plot elements :)

-Angel

You can have an impressive burned maul like the poor romulan in JJ's star trek. Fire emits from the pit.

Still such a big fire or energy somehow has to be established.(not that the actors are totaly calm and paying no attention to any energy leaks.

Either way you can add a plot point that actualy the feds were overload the reactor so all can blow to hell and one from two padmes were there to prevent that...

-Angel

Good point. Still somehow you have to establish that...im afraid with new shots and some FX work.

And a happy puffy clouded planet like naboo im sure it will have some dark rooms with fires and exhaust ports(over two meters) ;)
