In the end I'm sure we could find a lot of people toying with photoshop to clean up the biggest dust and scratches.

*cough*

Yes?

My ass is on fire!!!

Lol epic fail to MF :)

Awesome job ESF

-Angel

I think it looks too magenta.

So again, would something like watching Liea go into the village help smooth the transition to Ewok Village Outfit Liea?  ;)

It will be PG or Unrated :)?

A new matte is always welcome with an evening mood (awesome)

Hoping ady will make new mattes or props i want several moods to the already poor ones.

nice idea once again SWWR ;)

Dude....

I think it would help... If possible. And it may be. If we could find a good matte of the Ewok village we might be able to show leia and Wicket going towards it... Maybe fade into the shot as if time has passed.

Cmon Fish... You can be more constructive rather throwing random questions...

End of conv. Stay ontopic

I remember some older post of Monroville that he suggested some emperor's throne room designs.

Bringing this to on schedule again, throne room maybe nees some redesing without making confusion to the interior, or relocate it to be less "look i am up here shoot me down"

We see it as establishing shot only once. The second time we see Death star's gun before vader enters to room.

Can the room be into or near the disk to have a more powerful view of the battle ( taking Robot Chicken's quote that the seat looks to absolute nothing) and fill some of the poor background?

-Angel

it was a joke :)

make sure that luke has the same lightsaber color in the whole movie :)

*sigh*

-Angel

This edit includes a red throne room?

BUAAHAHAA I LOVE IT!

Smurfs start shooting starships!

Great job on that! I really like it.

But DS really needs two dudes near a laser that the only thing to do is tremling as it fires next to them?

I mean we see a whole bunch of operators before that warming up the cannon. So they supposed to pull the trigger not the two (tiny now) gunners :)

-Angel

Pretty good. Dont know if it can work because of the camera angles. if you cut the AOTC clip it can work because it will be only far shots so when we meet Luke is from a far angle to a close one.

lol the comment at the end. Sounded like Manga dialogue :P

I think the guards should be wearing protective armour. Come on a laser that big should melt anyone standing next to it.

Like when Qui gon have his hands 2 centimeters from a molten door and he was cool or obi and anakin were fighting into a lava river:)

Ah yes i forgot. those all were "Jedi"

Well just a quick update:

Started building the new hangar miniature to replace the matte in the scene with Ralph McQuarrie's cameo.

Ok that sounds very good news.

Are you going to replace the other hangar mattes as well? I mean that will you construct a big hangar model that includes the "mcQuarrie scene" and the other shots, or individually?

Im hoping the shot when MF gets off to push several things behind from the boost :O

take care ady

TheBoost said:

 I agree. I totally did Angerio's mockup,

I love the new name you gave me ;)

Darth Venal said:

I'd shrink down the size of the guards and their station to me very small next to the weapon, that's the only real way to give it true scale.

yeah thats something that i have in mind when i start it.

The only thing that freezes me is the poor quality of the gunners. Maybe 501st :)

TheBoost said:

Can we take the gunner in the Star Destroyer from "Star Wars" who doesnt shoot the droids ("It doesn't have any life signs") and put him in the Battle of Endor shooting up some X-Wings or something?

Im thinking to expand that total black set to be more to ESB standards.

The new superlaser idea is that it can shoot as a continuous beam and wipe out several rebel and sometimes imperial ships.

I think Bingo had the idea

-Angerios

yeah!

what the hell so be it.

2012 is coming anyways :)

Ontopic im making a new DS laser sequence

-Angel

CERN!

Bingowings said:

As for panels the original location of the firing sequence was identified sometime ago and it's almost as was:

YES! I  was looking this article in geekologie a half an hour now.

THANKS!

-Angel

Cheers :)

Now ontopic.

I started a new superlaser interior that looks incomplete and more "organic"

Its still wip and the gunners section is temp. I was wondering if someone with better English than me can tell me when i can find panels with lights like we see it in ANH and nuclear factories

-Angel

Some basic tips. never use copy paste details (trees) its very obvious.

The first image shows greater depth and scale.

Add some foreground elements to add depth.

most of the rock detail is lost at the laser mountain.

Check of the trees sharpness in the BG. too sharp for this distance

Otherwise its BREATHTAKING! :D

-Angel

Bingowings said:

It would be nice if the Death Star was in partial eclipse of the sun and Forest Moon so the gold bit was the diamond ring and we could see the Death Star lights (most of the time in ROTJ Death Star II is just a broken grey ball always pointing the same way).

Sounds good to me.

I want some of your mockups to catch your visualization of the shot.

doubleofive said:

Ask and it shall be given me.  Your name is truly justified. ;-)

If only I had these in HD, they might replace Ady's "Sun Behind Cloud City" I've had as my background since the trailer came out...

I didnt save that shot in HD but its easy to be done again. I have the sunset and sunrise tho! I will give them to you as present :P

-Angel

doubleofive said:

However, something might have to be done to this matte to help it fit this new approach:

Its me or the shuttle element is the same with the one that is in the forest shot?

dont bother to ask about the death star :) I ll try to find a better angle of it and the correct lighting.

-Angel

Id love to see this fixed/enhanced. it seems ady successfully replaced the sky in the first pic but he missed to change the second that has completely different sun position.

-ignore the same clouds-

Changed the fist matte because it was the same background with the next shot. i showed more ruins.

Plus, the MF flies too close to the ground but in the next is too high.

* can you notice a small road down of MF? :)

-Angel

PS: i could add the yavin as visible planet but i left it as it have for the money shot later.

fishmanlee said:

im practicing creating some mockup mattes

I like that. It feels more like a night shot! the over contrast lights do their job preety awesome as the subltle night stars from behind!

Im impressed :O

-Angel

doubleofive said:

And Angel, beautiful Endor mattes.  I especially like the sunrise arrival picture.  However, something might have to be done to this matte to help it fit this new approach:

It's not clear where they are headed, what direction that day/night terminator is headed, or why they have to have the DS lower the shield in the first place.

Seriously, I just remembered how much that's always bothered me.  Why do they have to lower the shield to land and spend at least a day approaching the shield generator?  Does the shield spread out around the ground so that you can't dive bomb the generator or do exactly what the Rebels try to do?  What do the Ewoks think that are trapped on the other side of the shield?

You know best 005 that ROTJ is full of copy pastes and poor compositing work. Death star is always look the same. I was wondering why they made the model if it was to use only one angle of it? It seems also to be in different places between shots.

I agree totaly with you that something can be done to this particular scene.

The dawn concept stands with the idea of variation and to show that several hours passed since rebels landed and prepared.

-Angel

PS:

I love the hangar here! Id prefer the shot without the ships ofc.

Something that dont look right to me is the shadow type. sun creates hard shadows( as we see in your rock pic) but it has some soft shadows on the palace (im not talking about the curvature)

a + tip is good to add some sky illumination to the palace as sublight as well to some rocks.

Keep it up! i want to see it done :D
