You're welcome, Angel.  I should only have to wait about, oh, 20 seconds or so, right?

Joking aside, should mention you've been doing amazing mock-up work!

Done!

Thanks! :)

Edit: Hell yeah!

RIC OLIE: The shield generator's been hit!

QUI-GON slices off his hand.

RIC OLIE: My hand is missing!

HAHAHHAHAHAHA.

I will put is sig after that i have now! Thank you for that hahahaha

-Angel

Qui gon can has his hand melted.

When obi Slices maul you can cut his hand too ( spooky)

maybe Maul cuts Qui's hands instead of the saber slap.

-Angel

How far can push ROTJ's edit into a microscopic level? lol

When Leia is turning the big gun on jabba's ship. in the close up for 3 frames her eyes look in the camera before she look into the right position. Easy fix but hard noticeable. The same goes to Chewie in the lamda shuttle

Heaven forbid the guy look out the same window in the same place giving off almost identical reflections.  OK, so its either a reused shot, or they lit him exactly the same 3 years apart.  At least the stars are different?

The stars are different...and blue :)

Nope its reused footage for sure because the mask in ESB is totally different from ROTJ. you cant have same reflections with different set behind you. ;)

-Angel

Spot the difference :)

ROTJ                                                                                                                                             ESB

Also - If this does happen. Please please PLEASE give it the full treatment. DVD-9 in both PAL and NTSC. It would be a real shame if your final, definitive version was lacking in that department. Go big or go home :)

NTSC and PAL Dvd9s are allready out...

If ady will return to ANH:R let me know to list all the mistakes i got so far :)

vaderios said: Done by ady

Whether or not the idea is similar to Ady's or not falls away, as it is the implementation of the idea. I have a very specific vision for Star Wars, and I'm not saying Ady's versions aren't spectacular, because they are, but what I want is something different, a definitive version, for myself.

Show us your visions with pics or videos ;)

The compositing job done on McGregor is quite bad. They even used footage of McGregor that was shot (but cut) from the Mustafar duel with Anakin and it shows. The eyeline between him and Grievous are way off too. None of the elements in the scene really match.

Also, the whole background doesn't make any sense. When Obi-Wan looks down on the Separatist meeting, Grievous we see that the floor is flat. But when Grievous pushes Obi-Wan back, they are walking on beams. And where is did that thing Obi-Wan dropped on Grievous' guards, and their bodies, go?

Well i return to this because i checked the scenes.

It seems that editing  cut several footage that shows grievous push obi further back or is just bad edit.

You can see clearly that there are "beams"(?) in very back of the room. But you are right about the background sometimes cause a big mess. Yes the box that fell on magna guards disappears. For one moment i thought that they we fighting in different levels of this location because it looks different.

The end shot in ROTS shouldn't have shown the Death Star being created but instead a vast shipyard of the Imperial fleet being built (which it will do in my edit). So all available money was being ploughed into creating the Empire. The whole ending of that movie was just too rushed to tie up all the loose ends

Digging old posts I remembered this.

Now I made several thoughts about that and how it should look. No matter what it should be in great scale and more extended view of it. having Imp SDs replacing slowly the Venators SD, this shot(s) should be balanced from the point of the wow fact so its not overshadow the previous money shots. Models/mattes and 3d should be in the blender to give a stunning result with the blessings of OT feeling.

I will make some mockups for sure for brainstorming.

-Angel

PS: Do you think that is good to include executor (as present from the emperor to Mr V.)? Or just leave only capital ships on the scene?

in some writing systems (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greek_numerals),

HAHA! Tell me about it :P

But i think it will cause more confusion. I prefer to see numbers like I,II,III,IV....

-Angel

Good call. But is there any indication that aurebesh have number symbols?

New video...

Hey awesome.

i like it!

reduces the childish feeling and adds a more Solo thing.

-Angel

I got your point. Im always to show things a bit more stylized and visually understandable.

Either way a 900 km station would be wide enough that is surface would be visible from tower's windows.

Crawl fixed to restore music cues, whilst retaining the “A New Hope”, done in a style akin to ChainsawAsh’s titles.

K

Colour correction of the whole film (using Adywan’s Purist Version).

Done by ady

All blaster and lightsaber effects redone. New miniatures/CGI for opening battle, and Jawa sandcrawler.

Done by ady. What new CGI? do you have in mind a new choreography for the ships? id like to know it

When Vader strangles the Rebel, have the Imperial March playing.

Interesting but ady already add good amounts of Imp march already.

Beru’s original voice restored.

K

Re-edit the ‘Tell me about my father.” conversation, Obi-wan now hesitates and thinks about his answer to Luke, trying to explain it, to justify the lie.

He hesitates enough i think

ChainsawAsh’s Mos Eisley scene, or something akin except KEEP the CGI aspects of Mos Eisley, I for one really enjoyed the addition of Womp Rats, Rontos, the whole Jawa thing.

K

Han shoots first, restore the theatrical version almost completely.

K

All subtitles in original positions and fonts.

K

The deleted Jabba scene restored, Jabba recoloured to match ROTJ.

K

Falcon’s engines restored.

Done by ady

All the continuity and cut errors fixed with Luke’s lightsaber training.

Done by ady

Make it much harder to get to the control room, have Han and Chewie taking out more of the Stormtroopers on the way.

Find a way and i m with you

Have several Stormtroopers speak in Kiwi accents throughout, to make it clearer that these are the same troopers from the PT.

K

The Obi-wan/Vader duel is slightly longer, and themes from the duel in ROTS are added.

Done by ady

Re-modelling the Falcon/TIE battle.

Done by ady

The Rebel’s secret base is now changed to be more complex.

Done by ady

The entire assault on the Death Star is restored to the theatrical version, except the lasers, which are improved.

K

When the Death Star explodes, we see the theatrical explosion, contained within the SE explosion, with huge chunks of Death Star flying outwards.

K

The final scene matches the Revisited version, except we don’t see a shiny new Artoo, he’s still a bit beaten up because the Rebel’s are so short-supplied.

Done by ady

So what i see here is a back and forth edit that implies new scenes but you want to restore the action to several places to the poor one of 70s.

I dont get the point of restoration of some parts when you want to push some others further.

Anyways post some pics of how you think some of your enhanced shots.

-Angel

I think Ady said that he couldnt track properly the opening fly with the tauntaun running to add snowprints. Cant remember if that this been settled already but if you say "CS4" can do better tracking, do you consider to add them?

-Angel

tehwallaby said:

Yeah, but Adywan's version wasn't enough like the Enhanced edition I was thinking.

Make a list of what you want to add/enhance/remove/replace/etc.

I hope to be a big list to have something to read as long im searching Nessie.

Go for it :D

-Angel

If the tower supposed to be on top of the ball aka DS then the lines that describe th surface are all wrong.

how about the lines gathering into one point and show the indication of DS's axis and center?

Very rough. ignore the hole just see the line position/direction

-Angel

Based one ESB's executor i tried to "fix" some of the ROTJ's executor.

as you will see the props and set is different. I dont know how hardcore can we push that shot to be th same with the ESB.

for now i leave it.

ESB reference:

ROTJ:

Why on earth in ROTJ everything looks so dead? Lights off, bad lightning crew and cheap ways to finish it... Pity

remember : Radical

I didnt see you giving any ways or ideas to make this work.

Now you remember : Contribution

-Angel

3d tracking in a face without trackers is like chasing God with lightspeed. In other words impossible.

more easy is to make Grievous darker and less yellow and cover his eyes with lenses rather can we expect to replace him totaly with something new or a new head as well.

Lets be realistic.

Ideas all all good to come but you can always think if its possible to be done ( with the present tools of trade and fan knowledge)

-Angel

GL stated that he grievous should NOT look like vader.

Plus what you propose is near impossible to be done.

-Angel

Its not hate. its Anger!

Lags with quatro CPUs

Windows are in tabs.

Windows overlap other windows and tool boxes.

Repositioned almost all the adjustment and other tools (or whatever call them)

OpenGL features (apart the rotated canvas ) suck.

All i want for CS3 is the rotated canvas. all the rest do the job hell more difficult when you have many images open.

I hope CS5 consider all these... :)

Well i decided to take the plunge and try out After Effects CS4, even though people have said to stay away from it. Well, i'm hooked. It's worth the swap to CS4 for the Mocha software included alone. The motion tracking capabilities are amazing and 1,000,000x better than After Effect native motion tracker and with a handy little free script i picked up to import the mocha settings easily into after effects this is such a must have. Its solving so many problems i had that there is no way i'm going back to CS3. It's so much faster too :)

I wish i could tell the same for photoshop, Ady.

So with the new improved tools are you going to remade some previous ESB:R shots that were impossible with CS3?

-Angel

Bingowings said:

Maybe he could have a Vader shaped head (that might add ambiguity to Vader's actual identity):

*EPIC PIC*

Vader in ROTS hasnt many weird shots. it can easy 3d tracked with and replace his (IMO the best) helmet with this.
