Ganamae

ahhh nice another follower joins the flock :D Good to see that Adywans talents are not lost on ppl, thanks you for your nice words Shadow, I do hope you will like it here.

Costume builder huh? take orders ? :D

Seems so HotRod, but do we film ourselves or just send pix I wonder..

Well we randomly get our faces on something or someone? or will there be a choice?

I am looking forward to Adys choices here :D Who will go where and on what...woohoo!

Hullo and welcome to the mad house The Concierge, hope you will enjoy your stay here.

When and where did you find Star wars: Revisited? and did ya like it?

Nice message there and yes would be nice with a bit more skywalker drama with the shuttle and all, not so sure about the ghost stuff though.

i've always been confused about that. in the PT each shot they fire at each other, whether small, capital or ground unit, their was always some hint of damage.

Well, if you look close enough you can actually see scorch  (carbon scaring?) marks on the fallen AT-AT but only just before it blows..not when it has just fallen for some reason :p

Can be seen if you do a frame by frame on the 2 scenes and really pick out some places to look, it's hard.  >_>

Well I for one think it would be nice to show some sort if damage, the snow speeders 1st fire on the AT-ATs command cockpit with no luck and then the neck and it explodes.. *woohoo!!"

We see that other pieces fall off as it thunders to the ground, so why not make some action in font as well? Show us how their useless lasers actually manage to penetrate that awesome armor of theirs. Would not be that much work anyways.

Lucky shot? or precession shooting?

I think most people have always believed when the AT-AT collapses its armour is ruptured/fractured and therefore becomes vulnerable to the snowspeeder blasters.

I agree with that statement. It makes sense.

Really? o.0

One can't really see anything of said damage where they shoot..can one? :o

I could really go for that explanation if they shoot where the panels come off or something..

rpvee said:

Regarding ESB:

If I may add a slight change recommendation: When the collapsed AT-AT explodes after the snowspeeder shoots its neck, the debris pieces smashing into the snow, for some reason to me, makes the snow look very fake, and the whole shot look like the model it is.  Any way of touching up on the debris hitting the snow?

The question is: Why does it explode? :)

TV's Frink said:

Perhaps we need a new thread for Revisited artwork?

That would be nice :)

Oh and by the way, where can one buy these master replicas like the Falcon Ady bought?! Anyone?

thanks !

Actually, Ganamae, who won the workprint, came up with a great idea on what i could offer to help generate the much needed donations. So here it is:

Anyone that donates from today will have a chance to have a cameo in ESB:R. There are a limited amount of places i can insert members, but i need to go through the whole movie to determine the exact amount. So, if there are more donations than places, another draw will take place. But its probably about 20 places to give you some idea. Plus each person that donates will get to see the behind the scenes footage a MONTH before anyone else once the footage is completed.

Well, I am here too help, like the rest of the scum and villainy in here ;) thanks.

Every little helps

vaderios said:

That hangar worths its brainstorm as well. except if ady will keep it grounded (crap)

My try :)

Too extreme? Consider it as ideas that can be in. Like sparks, fires, tilt to camera, non centered shots Sunlight from cracks, more depth, more colors, etc.

no lense flares? o.0

I say get rid of the tree traps and replace them with pits and the like.  Trees can still be a factor - Scout Walker steps into a pit; as Scout Walker's leg sinks down halfway, ground starts to cave ala a sinkhole; as the rest sinks in, the trees on either side topple over on top of the SW, crushing and blowing it up.

I still say give the Ewoks something explosive to account for getting through the Stormtrooper armor - be it explosive arrow heads and bolas. Maybe even having a scene where one Ewok raises his hand and we see retractable claws pop out and THEN he jumps on top of the Stormtrooper, followed by other Ewoks.  Blood wouldn't have to be shown, though some nice tearing and squishing sounds could be used ala AMERICAN WEREWOLF or something to get the idea across.  Remember that Koalas are pretty damn cute too, but have sharp claws for climbing trees and can get pretty pissed off.

The idea is that these are primitive creatures fighting advanced tech. Sticks and stones versus hi-tech. That was the whole point Lucas went with them instead of the original Wookies.

Just because the Ewoks are supposed to be a primitive tribe doesn't mean they can't improvise or use their intelligence to work around the technology of the Empire.  Also keep in mind that Lucas was originally set to direct APOCALYPSE NOW (until he got the go-ahead to do STAR WARS) and it is more or less his general ideas for AN working their way into STAR WARS - so the corollary can also be the Vietnamese versus the American army/ Mujahadeen versus the Russians/ Partisans versus the Nazis.

There also has to be a realistic means of the Ewoks being able to defeat the Empire - just having bows and arrows wouldn't be enough.  There would have to be something that gives the Ewoks simply the ability to win.

I say they should use the imperials weapons against them. Give a ewok a stormtrooper blaster. Come on, I watched discovery channel the other day and saw an African tribe with uzis.

Why even stop there?  I say give a good number of Ewoks not just simply Stormtrooper blasters, but maybe different kinds of blasters as if they have also killed smugglers or others who may have landed on Endor and said Ewoks killed them and scavenged what was left.   I say if the Ewoks with blasters concept is to be used however way it is, would the blasters have ornaments on them and be painted (ie "natived up")?

So one should add things like this to spice it up?-->

I don't think so.

I do :D

INFORMATION:

The Empire: Revisited work print has been now under scrutiny for approx 10 hours, its been paused, re paused,skipped frame by frame, also been played back and forth...again and again..

Things have been debated, discussed, elaborated and noted.

As one friend had to leave early I will show the rest for him on Thursday, but I will start to gather the notes and write them up so things can be ready on Friday or Saturday, so far we have 6 A 4 pages of notes :o

For Adywans eyes only though ^_^

But for Your pleasure later, when you have the dvd in hand !! :D

Thank you :D

Gold in my hands huh?

Hmmmm

1st I break the forum, then I start this rant?!

Perhaps I just should sit in the back of the class room? :p

Darth Solo said:

Shit, the budgets dropped.....

Hang on, what budget?

Adys thread is still mega messed up. Have you tried deletin your post Ganamae? Also some avatars have changed size overnight (thats a seperate issue).

DONT feed the troll, as it gets some peoples arses up (for the wrong reasons)!

But i had bucket-head down as a spammer in the early days. He aint done much to convince me otherwise since ;-)

Yupp, the post has been deleted...

Sorry about the mess * tosses a credit over*

Ripplin said:

Speaking of mattes, Ganamae, have you seen evidence of new mattes in your workprint copy? "Yes or no will do." ;)

Lets just say that things have been noticed :D

I and some friends spent 5 hours commenting and talking about the 50 first minutes of the Empire work print yesterday, the rest we will do today...

I have to slave over a hot stove even...they demanded dinner and I demand results and comments back, so Adywan can become a happy man ^_^ 

so 5 more hours of Star warsing today :D

Here's the shot where it looks like a couple guys are trying to look out a window in the rebel control room:



Watch it in motion, the guy with the arrow is defiantly not looking at the glass, but leaning forward to look through it and down.  The problem with putting a window there is the lighting, unless the window just happens to be in shadow in the outside shot.

The problem with putting a window there isn't just with the lighting but it is also part of the command centre that we see earlier on in the movie. So changing any part of the set would throw in a big continuity issue.

 

Aaargh ! damn damn damn damn damn damn? o.0

He got me!!!

I guess he shot my theory down, hehe no more window eh ? :D
