Info & Ideas: ESB and ROTJ Wishlist
Time

Whatever your feelings about ROTJ the performances of key actors are not up to the same quality as the earlier two films. Obviously it’s impossible for a fan editor to go back in time and direct new scenes with … You know who… And ahahham fnmm but what I suggest is we have strong hard look at the scenes with those characters in from the early films and see if there are aspects like inflection or voice pitch that can be altered. Some shots like the doors to the Hoth base closing work with slow camera movements and less dialogue. Can these sorts of camera moves be simulated by reframing the character in full HD to be smaller in frame and zoom into picture elements knowing that the final outcome may be in 720p? Cutting individual words adding silence or natural human emotive sounds (sighs, tutting, intakes of breath etc) might as nuance to some very flat performances. I suggest an audit of the greatness of the first two films from a character performance perspective.Looking at acting, dialogue delivery, camera work and lighting. The goal being to get the best out of what we can use.

I asked this question earlier and I think it kind of got glossed over, but I was wondering if the 3ds max project could/would be made available so as to create custom crawls that will fit in with the revisited series? I would really appreciate it. Thanx

That’s up to our 3D guy Andreas. I’m sure it’ll show up eventually.

is there a way to get ahold of said “3D guy Andreas”?

or if not that at least could you tell me the fonts you used for the crawls so that i might be able to recreated the technique myself?

He did say that we could still keep in touch with him by tapping the table…and postcards.

An utterly ridiculous comparison. JJ lied about Khan because he thought it would make for a fun surprise in STID.

This is a completely different thing all together (not to mention a film JJ is barely involved in).

He lies, he lies badly about stupid things, just like Ben Kenobi.

Rogue One * <em>Spoilers</em> * Thread

I’m becoming concerned that this isn’t going to be as stand-alone as I’ve been hoping. Star Wars, under and because of Lucas, has long since become a convoluted, shrunken universe, incestuous mess. That’s what turned me away from the film/Lucas franchise and into the Daley and Zahn EU. New characters, new storylines, new worlds.

I understand Rogue One can’t be completely free of 1983-2005, but it now looks to be shaping up as some sort of Kumbaya for all the fractured fan bases.

It looks like it’s becoming the new episode 3. In that the resolution is mentioned in the crawl of episode IV and it seems to belong more to the world of the OT without totally dismissing the prequels. So yes. Not stand alone at all. To be honest I’m okay with having three other films I can pretend are THE prequel trilogy. So an Obi-Wan in exile film or an Admiral Akbar movie wouldn’t hurt if they were good films. Television novels and comics are better for expanding universes in my opinion.

I always thought the big issues with ROTJ weren’t till later in the movie, like the lack of tension during the third act. In other words, unless the opening is getting radical changes, there would be absolutely no reason to have to change the crawl. The crawl only sets up the movie, nothing else.

Yeah but the first two start with Galactic epicness and ROTJ starts like a daytime soap.

Just a tad disappointed by the text of the ROTJ crawl staying the same but it’s not my show.

For me ROTJ is almost as screwy as the PT so I was really looking forward to major changes, starting with the crawl which is dull compared to the tone of the first two.
But it looks nicer.

Late Phases and It Follows both 2014. Both films have a late seventies early eighties vibe to them. The first one has elements of Stephen King, The Howling, a few visual mods to The Company of Wolves, even a small hint of Bubba Ho-Tep. The second takes it’s queues from The Entity, Halloween, A Nightmare on Elm Street. The first deals with aging and the later coming of age. Both had great character performances, great photography, and at least one scene that let them down and keeps them just shy of greatness. Still well worth watching. -45778877888777 n-forms.

I’ve still barely watched any of my stuff on the DVR. I haven’t watch any of the videos since Monday though, so that’s good.

It is good. Think back to when you first started posting on this topic. It would have seemed unthinkable that you could be doing that much. Sorry to Labour the physical illness angle but if you had heart disease or cancer you wouldn’t be thinking yourself a failure or a coward. You are unwell with an illness which has a lot of unjustified stigma attached to it. Not only are you actively seeking help, you are openly talking about it. You are the counter opposite of a coward. You are a competent and courageous person coping with an unpleasant and difficult to treat disease that most people don’t understand. Persevere and you will get better.
