Always glad to see more edits coming. Lord knows this movie needs it.

Couple questions:


1. Are you keeping the nuke scene? (I am others aren't)

I never had a problem with it so YES.

2. Do you have any ideas on fixing the climax?

I am throwing around some ideas. I was thinking of the alien statues just forming a beam of light and then the UFO flies off but less cgi. Looked way to odd.

3. Are you going to try and cut Ox out as much as possible? (hate him)

He stays a main character but his childish antics ARE GONE FOR GOOD.

4. In which scenes are you planning on adding fog? (looking forward to seeing this)

Mostly temple and jungle scenes. It would make the movie more Indy like.

5. What is the ETA of your edit?

I am not to sure but it will be shorter.

Also, I'd love to hear more details about how you are gonna bring a true old Indy to the forefront and put Mutt on the sidelines a bit more.

Indiana is not getting married. I am gonna cut down on some of the awkward filler scenes. Indy will not be an old washed up guy as much. And the snake scene is gonna be cut down to a scared face and eyes closed.

Mutt Is not gonna have as many wise guy lines. He has a big mouth which puts him in the front line. So cutting down some of his dialogue will help.

The vine scene will be way shorter. And the sword fight will be a short one. Indiana Jones doesnt need a fast paced sword fight.

I am gonna try to cut down on the references of the other movies (george has a problem with that in movies)

I dont want to introduce anybody. None of those just like old times lines.

Overall the music will make a huge difference in the movie. I will use some songs from previous movies besides the raiders march which will be used less. It might end up only being in the end credits.

Color correction is very necessary. The color of the film looked terrible. The jungle scenes will be way less saturated. I dont care if people want the colors to pop. They look fake. And some de_saturation will at least make the film look like the remasters of the trilogy. This is something I am gonna work on for a while.

The intro of the film will have no 50's elvis music. I will use one of the songs from the previous movies. The film will be different in many ways. Their is so much that is going to be cut I may extened the beginning slightly.

When they go to the temple of the crystal skull their will be a slower extablishing shot with new music. \

The alien scene is going to be hard to work on but I can do something about it. I am going to use Adobe After Effects on most of it.

Now I want to do my own edit. I will be stealing ideas from you guys but I want to do my own thing. I will be

Adding some fog to some scenes (indiana jones always used foggy sets except in this one)

The Marriage Scene...... GONE

I am gonna start the end credits on the ruins of the temple. I am sorry for you guys who like it but Indiana Jones always ended with you guessing were is indy going now? SO we do not need the marriage Plus it makes me sick to see.

I will be doing colour changes (not correction) but changes to make it fit with the other movies. Come on it is over saturated and just to fake looking like the star wars prequels.

I am gonna cut down on some of the filler scenes a little. I am also gonna make Mutt more of a sidekick than another jones.

I am going to use some of the old music too. Especially when it shows the Temple I want to play something from the old soundtracks.

I am gonna give the film more of a 1980's look (well its gonna look as good as the dvd's of the 80's movies.

I am gonna start the movie like the others (no introductions)

Indy will no longer be an old cheesy guy. He will be an aged Indiana Jones.

Overall the film will be the same I am just trimming some fat off of this pig.

Any one interested in this PM me or we can chat right on here.

 

I will be stealing ideas from you guys not because I want credit But this is really for my personal viewing pleasure even though I will be releasing it to the public. Free of charge FTW

Hypothetical: What would you KEEP?
Time

I would really like new characters or something to that effect. Have the same feel as the old movies. But not a remake you know new characters same story. The story of the skywalkers was concluded. Lets go into new places. It is a big universe lets go somewhere new. Hell we could make our own movie. It doesn't necissarily have to be funded. George is probably gonna give Rick the horrible Macallum the rights when he goes. If he gave the rights to someone with a mind for the films then that would be great. But honestly the only place we have seen new characters with new plots have been in the books and video games. I think it is about damn time we get movies. TV shows even the best ones become boring. Joss Whedon is a genius but he runs things into the ground. He bled the buffy stone more than he should have. Stargate was cool BUT BORING. The new Battlestar would be great if I had my cool mid 70's cylons in it. BUT it seems that with all sci fi shows, They never go anywhere. I really want to get into the art of film making. I have so many ideas for a movie. I really want to get some of you guys to help me with this one. It isn't star wars but it is in space. I am gonna keep thinking over the next 5 or 6 years about it. Right now is too early for me to make a film simply because I am still too young and inexperienced. But I will continue to think it over. I really want to have a solid plot then after that I am gonna need some screenplay peeps.

I cant hardly watch a movie with long opening credits. Its like the movie HULK the 03 version. Dear lord it took 20 minutes for the credits to stop then it was 2 hours of the worst movie ever made. What a way to milk a sucky movie. I look at star wars as a masterpiece it starts out beautifully then it tells you what happened before the story begins. It is awesome. I even like the ending credits. If star wars started out with opening credits it would take forever to start.

Luke wasnt a little bish like darth vader. He wanted to join the Imperial Academy to leave tatooine. It wasn't his dream to be a jedi. He had to because his family was gone and his dream of joining the Imperial Academy was over. Anikan however wanted to be a jedi. He wanted to be a powerful jedi. Luke needed to be a jedi. So in the end Luke was the most mature and became more mature at the end of the saga (though he was more badass in Empire) Vader was consumed by his lust of power. In the end though Vader wen't through some rough stuff. And when you have a hooded charles manson telling you how to do things you become evil.

Hypothetical: What would you KEEP?
Time

Ok my sequel movies would be set 40 ABY. All of the characters would be gone. I would keep C3PO and R2D2 to flow with the previous sets. Then I would present new characters. And have the millenium falcon. Then have a jedi and a NEW SITH LORD of course this time around the jedi are back in power. But really it is a bad idea their is nowhere to go. I dont want to see carrie fisher in any NEW movies. so Sequel trilogy is gone george should have done the sequels from 87 to 93.  They all looked young enough to do em. Of course harrison ford was busy doing his I want my family back movies. SO I DONT WANT TO SEE SEQUELS. Now if they did movies set outside the saga then that would be cool

Agreed. I hate movies that explain things to me. It is like telling a joke to a dumb friend. It no longer becomes what it originally intended to be in this case funny because explaining things ruins them. I think films these days think we are all retarded. The only things we have is eyes and ears. We like loud and shiney things WHICH IS TRUE. Alot of us like bullshit movies with explosions. How did slumdog millionare win 8 academy awards because the people who watched it only have eyes and ears. We are not 5 year olds who watch Dora The Explorer. We can figure things out for ourselves.

It is funny because Return Of The Jedi only serves one purpose and that is to conclude the trilogy. A New Hope was made to introduce the characters and their enemies. The Empire Strikes Back was really the best one simply because it had the fat plot. The heroes are faced with seperation and inner battles. It had places to go. Really it was the only film of the OT to actually explore. It was an adventure film. Return Of The Jedi was kind of boring. Endor became pretty dull. It really needs a sense of fantasy. Make the ewoks village more Spielberg esque. Add some mist to it. Come on even the elven village in LOTR was kinda were the ewok village should have went. Legend's forrest look was cool. The Star Wars films are more Fantasy/Adventure than science fiction. We need the forrest moon to be larger than life. I said spielberg because his movies from the late 70's to early 90's had scale to them. Jurrassic Park was bigger than the dinosaurs it contained. He even made Neverland look grand. We can do that to the planet of endor. I like the waterfall ideas and Angel your mockups have been beautiful. The main focus is endor for me. I mean I could film scenes from endor in my backyard. Lets take it to somewere new. FANTASY PEOPLE NOT SCI FI. SO much could be done to this movie. It could become an equal to its predecessors. I bet it would have been way better if kurtz was involved. It definetley has potential. It doesnt even need plot changes. Though Jabbas palace was pretty bad

Hidden items in OT and other SW

I liked them all quite well except Crystal Skull. The ending of The Last Crusade was the perfect ending for the Indiana Jones TRILOGY. They ride off into the sunset "According to george lucas a sunset means a new adventure" So we know their is more adventures. SO WE DIDNT NEED CRYSTAL SKULL. I felt like I was getting raped by the movie when I watched it. IT was storming that day too so it really set the mood for that movie. I had worked my ass off all week anticipating this movie thinking about how badass it would be to finally see this movie I had waited years to see. I was so thrilled when I sat in the theatre then it started. Dear god is it in Lucas's intentions to bleed the stone of his past movies. Did they need to show the ark? Did they need to return ravenwood to the plot. DID INDY NEED A SON? I had the movie figured out the whole time. Some parts were enjoyable but it felt wrong. Harrison did an amazing job but one good performance never saves a movie. Indy was no longer this awesome character that made me as a kid kinda want to be an archeologist (admit it Archeology looked like a damn good career after indiana jones) Indy became a dad!!!!!. I know directors like to do the whole KID THING in movies after years of raising a family. But it just doesn't work with Indiana Jones. Did they have to do this movie this way. NOO, Indy 4 made the star wars prequels look like masterpieces of film. I also began to have chest pains during the marriage scene. ESPECIALLY when shia labouf went to pick up Indys hat as to say that their is gonna be knew movies with HIM. So to me their are only 3 THREE indiana jones films. And I am gonna say it Temple of Doom was my favorite.

STAR WARS: EP V &quot;REVISITED EDITION&quot;<strong>ADYWAN</strong> - <strong>12GB 1080p MP4 VERSION AVAILABLE NOW</strong>
Time

The asteroid scene doesn't really bother me. I say as long as it has the speed that flows with the music like the original. And even then I dont care what he does. Adywan I have said it before though. Please keep the tie fighter that gets its left wing clipped and it does the Wha da da da da da da da BOOM thing even if you reshoot please let it do that. I have always loved that even for the sound. I listen to the asteroid chase on the ESB soundtrack and hear it in my head. Just keep it please.

A Long Time Ago... - Share Your Star Wars Story

God it is hard to remember. I knew about star wars before actually paying attention to them I had seen darth vader on lunch boxes and had seen them before (but I didn't really pay attention.) Then about the time I was 4 I watched Empire Strikes Back because it had the coolest cover. I was blown away. After that I was a nerd for all things star wars. I don't know why I liked it so much and to this day I don't know why exactly I like it. But oh my the trilogy was a big part of my life.

Here is a slight tweak. Just light in lukes eyes makes it more convincing. I don't know how it looks on a brighter moniter but it looks pretty good on my computer. What i did was added slight lens flare in lukes eyes. then cut luke from tweaked image and popped him into the original picture.

 

Thanks for effort but IMO its just too much...remeber, less is more.

Honestly it really doesnt need any change at all. It would only be convincing if they had force effects sabers at the time they were filming.
