Who was it that made an alternate opening shot for The Force Awakens where the “stars” turn out to be dust from Rey scavenging on the Star Destroyer? I have an edit idea that could really benefit from it, but I can’t find it anywhere.
I seem to remember it being on vimeo and having a really vague title like “fakeout” that made it hard to find by searching.

It happens so fast that I bet you could just cut from the opening crawl to the first motion frame of Rey pulling the thing away.
Dunno if he was the first, but I recall NeverArGreat doing that idea.

Just think of people seeing it opening night in IMAX 3D. Give people heart attacks, it would.

The Rise of Skywalker: Revived - A hypothetical edit (WIP)

Ah, and that tv spot appears to simply edit in “Skywalker” from the line I was thinking of. Should be able to do it yourself better than pulling in audio from the tv spot itself.

And for color correction. If you apply skenera’s Exegol LUT at 60% for those scenes and the general LUT at about 90% for the rest, it should be pretty close.

Whoo, the dreaded commentary track has been recorded. lol

There was so much in this edit to comment on, and I know so many moments went by without mention. My thoughts weren’t always coherent and I didn’t have as much to say about the movie and story itself as with past installments.

Thank you all so much for coming out of nowhere to produce a jawdropping fan edit. This was the fan edit that almost wasn’t, making it all the more impressive to have done so much with it. It’s been a privilege to compile and execute. I wish I could gather us together with a rented theater and a round of PTO for everyone to spend nine days watching the whole saga.

You guys are incredible. Thank you for everything. It’s meant more to me than you might think.

Just recorded the first half of my commentary track. I’ll record the rest another night.

It’s not going to be the best of the bunch, but it’ll exist!

And when the civilian fleet arrives I’m going to be quiet and edit in the audio with original audio tracks brought way down and added voices balanced out so that everyone can have a fair chance to hear as much of the contributed voices as possible. Anyone who contributed is technically in the movie, even if inaudible.

Well, I don’t think moving that shot to buffer the transition before the heroes run toward the trooper and meet Lando works due to the music playing. It’d be hairy, and so I think what’s there at present is our best bet here. No sync adjustment needed.

I tweaked some other audio stuff: made Rey’s line about the mask slightly louder, the KoR lines in the desert a little quieter, and added more of a ‘telephone’ filter to RogueLeader’s trooper lines.
