Hal, are you finally including/considering DominicCobb’s idea for rescoring the Final Order revelation with the “Anthem of Evil” track? Or are you keeping the Imperial march?
I’m leaving the Imperial March in order to imply as strongly as I can that these are old imperial ships that were stashed away. (For lack of a way to explicitly state as much.)
I don’t need anyone calling me chunky, even if it was ten years ago.
Just wanted to say, I’d watch this! I would prefer not to change much as far as removing scenes, but I like the other ideas you present in the OP. I second the idea of using classical music that has some symbolic meaning, if esoteric.
I kinda want to watch this movie now; it’s been a while.
To address an idea from Dom’s thread: I will more than likely end up releasing the regular (Rey Palpatine) version before a Rey Nobody version. In case there’s some huge issue that gets glossed over, I’d rather just fix one than two!
Would you consider cutting Poe’s line “Did we ever find his volume control?”. I think 3PO’s new line about an R2 unit works better on it’s own and we’d have one less moment of Poe treating 3PO like trash (specially odd after he just sacrificed himself). Just cut to Finn & Jannah before Poe starts talking.
Honestly it’s bizarre how Poe treats 3PO & D-O compared to his relation to BB-8 in the previous films.
I can see how it plays; I agree in principle.
I haven’t removed the original normal saber sound underneath.
It was probably underwater for something like 6 years, I think.
I probably would’ve named TFA:R differently if I’d foreseen the other two edits existing. Oh, well!
The suffix, I mean, not the film title.
The prequels had a long history of being renamed by the time I did my second set of edits starting in 2013. The sequels did not, and I did not think when I worked on TFA:R that there would be any more. Plus, I like the sequel titles overall much more than the prequel titles.
Only if there’s a LUT for it, but it may introduce unintended effects to shift so radically.
I also intend to apply the main LUT at something like 66% in order to benefit from it overall and hopefully avoid some of its more extreme effects.
So is TROS.
If anyone can find a nice, isolated vibroblade effect I can see about it. As things are presently, I used a pitched-up Kylo saber effect. Sort of sounds like a car engine with something wrong with it.
I’ll probably futz with it a little more at least to make sure, but I agree it’s fine.
It’s too bad there’s not a shot early on that takes a slow second to just let us see the saber ignited. There would have been if the blade were different than it had been in prior movies.
I like them both and am perfectly happy with whichever kewlfish cares to turn in.
None of them were pink OR had a bow.
Replace Anakin’s force ghost with this hockey player named Hayden Shaw.
It’ll take at least a week to encode and get ready, but I’m preparing a ‘Yub Nub’ version of ROTJ. I’d hate to end up regretting not doing so while I’m still able.
Hal, Are there any updates regarding the Palpatine message scene? Has the final version been decided on?
Haven’t done anything with it since the last clip.
The real reason for the Naboo shot is to be able not to have to chop up the music and shorten the sequence. People have provided insight and critiques of what snooker was able to do so far, though she has since expressed a desire to leave the forum for at least a while. So, now I am uncertain if it will be worked on further.
I think the training course Rey runs is supposed to be the same setting in the Luke and Leia flashback.
And the castle idea is not necessary, but to add a faint silhouette over Kylo’s shoulder of the castle in the distance as he retrieves the Wayfinder.
I saw that snooker had posted recently in the ‘going away’ thread, so it’s possibly she may be gone for some time. This leaves us with a slight problem related to the Naboo shot. I don’t know if anyone else with the skill would want to try to improve upon it. It may be good enough as is, even if able to be picked apart in some ways. If so I can send the raw clip that she sent me.
Okaaaaaay guys
It seems like a more subtle affect like you guys describe would be perhaps to settle. I personally don’t have any problem at all with what he’s done so far.
Kewlfish, I can’t seem to make anything of the clip you posted of Rey’s training sequence. It appears to be in a codec none of my tools can process. Any ideas, or could you perhaps export to ProRes?
Here’s a clip anway, with my audio but no visual changes yet. The effect isn’t super audible very often, nor should it be. https://vimeo.com/442788429
