Info: The Making of The Empire Strikes Back (Michel Parbot)

Marvolo Where should I begin looking for this thing at?.

Darth Neo
(the Netherlands).


Storm it, until you hold the the copy in your hands. hahah jk

In all honesty if something like this hasen't been located by a member of this forum prior to this thread I think its gonna be really tough to get a hold of. We have a golden opportunity with Darth Neo, not that he should be forced to do something he doesn't want to but if we could help get the approval from a higher power or whatever he needs to be comfortable sharing this, I would think that could be a good route to take first. Again I'm not saying lets play Darth Neo for all he's worth it is totally his decision it just seemed he is reluctant due to others.

Alright cool, glad to help out and to possibly get an early copy of your Clone Wars Project jk, let me know if you need another frame differently worded or revised in any way.

Johnny,

I am rendering the image files now, just a few things to mention. There is no way to leave the 1st line blank, its an all or nothing thing. So I made it so the top line says delete and the corresponding lines are how you wanted them to be. The other thing is the custom sreen size, there are 3 parameters which are as follows; Width, Height and "Height Used" I wasnt sure what to use for that box so I just matched the Height you specified which was 450. If you think the image looks weird due to that parameter just let me know and I will get you another image.

Yes the colors are slightly off and the star field is noticeably different, it is very apparent when you transition from the programs star field to the actual movie star field

It still is a very cool program and is satisfactory for a fan edit

Could you give a brief explanation on how to do that, or if theres a tutorial on the web somewhere I could use I would appreciate it.

When I go to open the .bmp files created from this program in VirtualDubMod, I get an error message saying "Image file is too short," can someone help me out?

The Prequel Trilogy 'as one movie' Edit - Released
Time
I have a question for the experts..

I wanted to add a deleted scene from the TPM into my edit. Its a short scene of Maul fighting against Qui Gon and Obi Wan, the problem is that the sound is not just music and effects it has Ben Burt talking throughout the scene and I wanted to know if there was a way to remove the vocals from the scene and keep the only the music and sound effects?

Those were the major cuts but theres a ton of other parts cut out, I cant remember them all right now.

Ive previewed it on the computer and it is no way a "professionally" done edit (not horrible IMO), there are some jarring jump cuts at times (mainly due to the music). There are no added wipes, too much of a pain to deal with. Some could say a lot of it doesn't make sense how one thing leads to another but I tired my best and I had fun doing this.
