Vaderios, I believe that particular shot is from the AOTC deleted where Obi-Wan has Jango Fett's dart analysed by analysis droids. It was the first special effects scene finished but also the first scene to get cut :P

I agree with Ithilgore, the special efffects of TPM have aged the best. There are some really awful effects in AOTC, but I think part of that is because the shot the film digitally. Everything in AOTC looks too clean and fake. Seems they had that all worked out in ROTS, I think ROTS has great effects. The only thing I think looks truly bad is the Obi-Wan vs Grievous duel. The composition is bad, but the inconsistant backgrounds make it even worse.

Ah! thanks for the info.

TPM has the sydrom of all the old movies. Movies like Jurasic park or Starship troopes have awesome "aged" effects that looks decent even now.

No no no. AOTC has many awfull effects. It looks too cartoonish and blury as far the blue screen just dont works so well.

I agree with you in ROTS. I ve never noticed the backgrounds just the messed up in the lightsaber positions and colors

-Angel

many original photos(10-15) :P plus painting :)

i keep them in HD, but not everything im making.

so be happy that i may release them

would you consider tinting the specific scenes to fit in with the colouration of the time of day.

I dont got that... :P

Could you do some mock-ups of the speeder chase please? That would be interesting to see.

 

I'm gonna upgrade to Photoshop CS4 btw :)

Yeah! that sounds good.I always wanted to do something about that

NO STOP RIGHT THERE! If you want to save your soul dont put Cs4. Cs3 is the best.

-Angel

what about the rebels arrive at dawn?

If you think it, it matches the sun later also adds to variety and time pacing.

-Angel

Darth Venal said:I think should also replace the shot where the Rebels in the shuttle fly over the forest when they first arrive - first impressions are everything :-)

yeah! I did some mockups some ages ago but id like to rethink it and adding more elements as well.

Plus is good to see some more camera movement rather a static shot.

-Angel

This shot is after leia and han kissing each other.

i found that shot very boring and without mood.

A sunset with a dramatic landscape with ewok village at midground it would fit better.

Things id like to add: smoke and fires from the battle, Endor planet in the background. but i left it as it have because it could get busy.

My Dad was from Palermo. If I go there, will people stop me and tell me about him?

They do that in greece :P

especially to country villages

-Angel

I was looking through net,

from where is the second pic from?

I did not make this but see, the background is correct.

Checked AOTC or ROTS quickly and i didnt find something similar. maybe im wrong.

Hoping to fix the continuity errors in TPM with the blu ray edition.

-Angel

Yes i remember that :D

I just thought a cool scene from a bombarding and wipe out big areas.

Still if the empire has air strikes how the rebels will manage to shot them out without enough footage to achieve that?

-Angel

Earth aka Alderaan destroyed in ANH ;)

Darth Venal said:

How you doing today anyway? :-)

taking photos from several planets :D

wich is enlighted because i found a good shot to visualize the endor moon layout.

this shot is from mustafar. with some tweaking it can look like endor.

-Angel

Im confused...

what is the name of the ewok planet?

what is the name of the other planet?

which of them is bigger?

How about making the part of the Home One outside the window in a slightly more grey hue than the interior window frame? The interior is white in other pics and the ship looks gray on the outside.

Good one!

I suggested having TIE Bombers thin out the forest (Apocalypse Now style)

I love that. after all: An entire legion of my best troops awaits them. it should be a fair enough amount of firepower to show that the rebels won ;) that gives me a great idea for a mockup. But it occurs with a problem. if we will have an electric napalm style shot, then the explosion of the shield generator should be more breath taking and a worthy money shot! something like we see in Iron man end. a ray of energy rises to the skyies and then we have the exp.

-Angel

In some parts i go with the thought what ady did to death star to ANH:R.

In the temple now i guess you are right about the walls. it seems i forgot to paint the illumination form the sky and the floor.

Well thats short of the style, especial in the trade federation ship.

Like i said, im not quite happy with the temple result because the colors are so messed up and it needs time ( which i dont have) to make it look right ;)

Now, if its good or bad to add some rust parts to trade federation floor or walls is a matter of taste and time to apply.

Maybe i ll try to do something

thanks for the feedback, it reminds me to be more careful :D

-Angel

Oh yes! pretty good but i d like to see it more big to show the scale and fill some poor background ;)

-Angel

Proposition for a more dynamic attack

more ships and more extreme angles of the approaching ships.

Added some lights to the interior to gain some life( if you have them why are off?)

Added the planet that endor orbits.

Slight reflection to the glass

-Angel

Good job!

I was wondering if its a good idea adding background elements that indicate that the death star is still a work in progress station. Id rather see all the droids gone ;)

-Angel

Im Sie doctor!

Frustration with that. still not happy but at least it looks like a decent movie.

ROTS colors again

Definitely. If I knew how to do half of the magic that Angel did I could do it in AE also. Hell AE has everything that photoshop has. ANGEL TELL BENJA HOW TO DO IT NOW!!!

The boy has no patience! i cant teach him...

-Angel

Darth Venal said:

Which part of AOTC?

I assume in Geonosis and where the fight with dooku does. or some again geonosian hangars.

-Angel

EyeShotFirst said:

How did you fix the bots without making them look melted.

What do you mean by that? do you have an example of the melted look?

-Angel

Johnny Ringo said:

That said, maybe you should try a motion test? - the mockups look incredible as usual.

this is when i stop :)

i give ideas and inspiration to motion experts here ;)

Bingowings said:

Do you think it was deliberately washed out so that Lucas could put out a restored version in 2017?

Of course!

Besides, if the saga hadn't so many issues, the fans wouldn't have something to bother ;)

Btw, ROTS had some hard blacks.

as for the sharpness and contrast it may be look different in motion. so yes it can be settled ;)

-Angel

ROTS style to TPM faded colors! Inspired from invisible hand interiors

If you think that is too dark consider that the brightness was set into my monitor :)

Darth Venal said:

I can't wait to finish it, but I really need some hi-res screen grabs. If anyone can help me with one of that scene, with the guards off the shuttle, I'll buy you dinner.

PM sent

cant wait to see it finished
