Just watched the trailer...and the only thing I can say is - OMFG!

Everything was great...and the Cloud City clip was awesome. :)

And, although it's really really belated, Happy Birthday!

Davnes, that's a good mockup for translating the same basic beats as the original film to Dagobah.  However, if we/you are radically reduxing (ha) the Prequels, then is it an intention to try to preserve the revelations of the OT (Vader is Luke's father and Leia = sister) as much a surprise as possible?  ...

It would be epic if we could keep the Vader name from ever being applied (onscreen) to Anakin, and made it look like Vader was actually another Jedi Palpatine had turned either in the years between Ep.III and IV, or even before he took Anakin as an apprentice, with Anakin just another puppet to destabilize the galaxy or somesuch.  ....the point is to set up the end of ROTS in some fashion that indicates that Vader is not Anakin, and that Anakin did indeed die on Mustafar as Obi-Wan expected him too.

...

One thing that could be done is to just show Palpatine kneeling next to Ani after he got Bar-B-Q'ed, and then cut out the 'surgery' scene, (and of course cut-out/dub-over/edit any mention of Ani being Vader). Then, when we see Vader on the [Star Destroyer], we're left wondering "Who's that guy in the black suit next to Uncle Palpy?".

Anyway, the main focus of the video I did was on the Dagobah idea...the other little edits (ie: any mention of sweet Padme dying, etc.) were a secondary concern.

But...it'll all have to wait 'til next week. Happy Mother's Day everybody!

Very nice, Bingo. Some of your best yet, I think.

And hey, it's another ship landing scene! :p

That would be funny. I hope someone (Davnes?!) will actually do it.

The idea of Tentative IV landing on Dagobah, etc. sounds interesting.

I'm working on a little something, and I had better make it good, because I'm going up north for a week to see family.

Oh, and speaking of Davnes, if you haven't watched his video called "Full House Wars", you must! :D http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VMiGLKif8w4&feature=channel_page

Any-who, that 'Full House video was really fun :)

The main problem with trying to recreate the footage has less to do with how to do it, and more to do with making it fit into the movie. It would be that same thing Lucas did with inserting the cut ROTJ shuttle footage into ESB.

I suppose the only way it would fit is if the father-son chat Luke and pappa-Vader had in the landing platform hallway was 'moved' to the shuttle bay....and had more than 3 pictures to go by. ;)

I know this is kind of out of the blue, but I started using Blender recently, and did a little test project.

It's a stepping stone to bigger & better things. :)

 wat would it look like if u used the shuttle from ROTS since that's wat the emperor flew in.

But...this is footage of the Rebels landing on Endor...not the Emperor. o_O

Extra Fun: Vader's arrival at the Deathstar, alternate cut. (not CGI)

Speaking of Vader...

I know Adywan will be fixing the jump-cut in "The Cave", but for some reason I made my own little edit of it. It actually turned out pretty good...as good as a 'quicky' can be.

Pretty good job.
I like it. :)

Anything that ady can add/enhance to this shot maybe is to add some more blues and lights to show that its a usual sunset walk until lando's call.

The only thing I diagree with is having Yoda say 'I Agree' immediately after Palpy says '...the situation is that serious'. I miss the funny look Yoda gives him.

 Thanks for the feedback, 007! :)

I've never liked that shot of Yoda. All of the muscles in his face never stop moving!...?

And WHY is Yoda concerned about Palpatine suggesting this at all? He's wanting to protect Padme. Of course, it turns out that he was trying to put Padme with Anakin blah blah...

I always thought that when Palpy finished Padme's sentence, Yoda looked at Palpy as if to say/think "WTF?...finished Padme's sentence he just did, the force he is using?" (yes, Yoda even thinks in 'Yoda-ese', lol).

So, it's not 'the plan' that Yoda is concerned about, it's Palps possible knowledge of the force that he's concerned about.

:) Just my 1.99 cents worth.

Hey

Watching oh_riginal's (interesting) video, it reminded me something that bugged me with the DVD, yet I'm not too sure about it: I believe that in the DVD version the musical cue has been moved a bit earlier compared with the SE VHS or OUT version.

On the DVD, when Han says "Detach!", the music begins (see pic below).

 

But in my mind the piece had always begun a bit later, during the following shot (see pic below).

I don't know whether I'm hallucinating or not, so has anyone noticed that?

I don't know if anyone noticed this post of mine on page 350, among the furious debate of the Falcon holo :D

I just checked my really old VHS (I got at Value Village on Sunday), and you're right. :)

On the VHS, Han's theme starts just after the 'clunk' sounds of detachment. On the 2006 SE DVD, just as Han says "Here we go chewie..." some gentle violin music starts, and after Leia says "You have your moments", Han's theme finally starts.

I think it was modified to allow for the extra little bit of footage of the Falcon & Slave fly-by.

anakin on various hormone medication. i personally like -150 and -200 pitch

I think the -200 setting is a bit too low. The -150 setting sounds good.

It's rough but what do ya think?

Oh, ok.

You explained to me why filmgrain exists but, not why it shouldnt be removed to make a clearer picture.

It only looks like you're getting a 'clearer' picture. What you're actually getting is less detail.

Film Grain is Good...it means you're getting the detail YOU PAID FOR

No Film Grain means you bought a DVD in Blue-ray case.

... I'll go ahead and announce what my next video will be...

Batman and Robin (and, no, it's not what you're thinking)!

Oh?...what ever do you mean?...(**starts backing away**)...it's an 'ok' movie...(**sweating a bit**)...I mean...I...kind of...like............AHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!...(**runs away as fast possible**)

Just kidding...I'm looking forward to it :)

What's really funny is that nobody (including myself) noticed that I wrote "Empire + Dune = WOW", instead of "Jedi + Dune = WOW". I feel soo silly. :D

It's showing a pic telling us to go to CreepyGif.com

You have to go to the site http://creepygif.com/image.php?i=698

But it's funny :)

I use DVDFab5. It's not exactly FREE...but I have wayz around that.

Addition: I use DVDFab to rip the movie, and Vegas for editing.

Davnes007, that was genius. I knew you couldn't resist Dune and SW together. Thumbs up! I love mockups.

Thanx my man. I only wish there was an aerial view of the sail barge I could have used.

Sort of reminds me of all the hoopla that went on before the release of Episode I...and not in a good way. That's why (to myself) I call 'Entertainment Tonite' "Hyper-tainment Tonite".

Sluggo said:

Did the Lando System video actually plug Ady's Episode IV revisited and also mention that Vader wasn't at Bespin?

Maybe you guys already noticed it, but I thought it was pretty funny.

:) Yep...it would be easier to see and read if I encoded the video in a better definition, but I've only got a Pentium 4, so it takes too long.

shanerjedi said:

And Monroville, your suggestion #3 is a great idea, either instead of or in addition to showing the "monster" coming to the surface under the sand.

Hah! I have an idea:

Take the idea of the sail barge collapsing into the sarlaac pit, then cut in the shot of the spice worm rising up from the sand in Dune and taking out that vehicle.

Take out the vehicle and replace it with a sail barge mockup.

There you go! :p

Hmmmm.....Empire + Dune = WOW

...I feel an epic idea-clip in the making :D

It's a little weird, and a bit jarring, but fun to watch I suppose. I don't think this one tops my 'Lando System?' video...but you can be the judge of that.

4. Take your time, and cut-out all the windows. (OMG, that's a pain in the butt! That's why some of the window frames look weird.)

Indeed! It would be nice if that magic wan tool was really, really smart, or you could just tell it what to do. :p

P.S. You gotta watch this! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4CixquqPrCk

Lol...cute video :D

I tried using the Background Erase tool, but most of window framing was too close to being black to be of much use.

@ChainsawAsh

If you've already got something planned, etc., I won't step on your toes with it...and the flow of events didn't appeal to me, personally, anyway. Happy Editing :)
