Eh, we just start the scene with the Palpatine message already playing, concluding right before Rose asks, “Do we believe this?” The audience doesn’t need to be told it’s Palpatine; we met him already.
I’m not positive I’ll want to use the speech as the KoR are heading into the conference room, but more certain about the Resistance scene.
👍👍👍
Even just the existing audio from the music-less version being added to the nighttime Resistance scene would be better than Poe’s intro lines. And harkening back to it as Kylo heads into his meeting hits home that this was a leak rather than an announcement.
I like it! The clip we have to work with has a hologram or radio filter on it, so that may make it less than ideal to modify.

Yeah, that’s the kind of thing! Feels a lot less sudden. 😃
And so the Palptine speech we have without music isn’t actually McDiarmid? Even so that may be the best bet: use it to recreate idir’s dialogue choices and start the scene with it playing to replace Poe’s opening lines. Idir’s version feels much better than the original dialogue.
I don’t mind putting that together but it may be more expedient if anyone wants to do that for me. I will if no one beats me to the punch, whenever that’ll be.
Good news! It’s also an audio drama!

I wiiiiish we had the audio without the music overlaid. Ugh
Yeah. Idir, that’s a very nice clip. But I don’t think it works as-is for a theatrical exhibition. Undoubtedly the filmmakers could easily have made something very similar work well. The actual dialogue there is much improved from the raw audio clip.
This change is definitely something that would be nice to address but I haven’t really found or seen anything that pulls it off. 😦
Super fast.
Thanks, Muffy, for reminding me. It was a flashback of Han that filled in the spot there, I couldn’t remember. And that outdoor viewing must’ve been fun.
And I don’t think that music would work; it’s pretty obviously tracked reused music to me. I think that moment is fine as it is; it’s really not necessary to add music.
Right, fingering was all they got to. I was just kidding about that!
until Reylo is consummated.
We didn’t quite get there, either.
I’ll remove the ticking clock line!
Jonh, great to hear! I’m glad you’re back in business tearing up the world, and will be glad to receive your finished work whenever you have it ready.
And that’s some good feedback about the Naboo shot. I know snooker wants it to look like it was always like that, and those are some pointers I never would’ve noticed. (But your brain did?) And of course I think snooker for the effort and wizardry, too, as that is such a wonderful shot to have.
Snooker had just send me a revised clip that she feels blends in better to the surrounding footage. I can’t post a clip right at the moment, but it looks less flickers and quick, like there’s a larger scale to it.
I suppose the alternative would be to ditch the destroyer, and add gungans chasing a shrieking stormtrooper across the foreground.
Yeah. Can’t help but agree.
And with Leia, at least it’s clear she feels fear that she had the capacity to kill Kylo.
I hadn’t considered it like that but you’re right: the rush is the logistics of the fleet taking off. My only concern is that this may not be clear until late in the film. There are a few times during the adventure when characters say “We don’t have time to X.”
And that’s an interesting read on the Leia death, with Rey feeling responsible for it. That makes sense! I’ll have to play with the scene, though, unless there’s a mock-up out there I may just not be remembering right now. If Rey stabbing Kylo is followed by Rey dropping headphones, there’d be a lot to cram in from Leia before seeing her give out altogether.
I think Rian interpreted Luke in about the only way he could given TFA’s setup. At least the best way one could if they put more than 45 seconds of concerted effort toward.
If someone can come up with an alternative line that still does the trick, I’m open to it!
I don’t mind spreading the word, but it can easily feel tacky and I’ve never felt it appealing to actually do. And for what? I don’t make anything on this, not even any YouTube clips to even slightly monetize. I just like the idea of people who like this sort of thing stumbling onto the finished product and getting to have Christmas.
I think I prefer the first way you had it, with the theme coming in slowly before we hear the main part as we cut to Rey and Kylo. I then added the first part of the music afterward to bridge to when the existing music comes in the scene. I do plan to turn the volume up, especially toward the end.
And that’s great, kewlfish! I’ll add them to the timeline once you’re happy with the crackle across the whole movie.
Well, I finished laying down crackly audio for the saber across the film. Wasn’t difficult, as the crackle doesn’t need to be particularly audible most of the time. Usually the existing audio rising and falling in volume was enough to let the effect present itself as needed. I adjusted volume based on the saber’s proximity to camera and left to right throughout, at least roughly. Again, it’s a subtle enough effect that precision would be overkill much of the time. I used the presence of the saber hum as a guideline; if you can hear one you should hear the other.
Sounds like kewlfish is moving at a pretty good pace with the visuals. That’s still really impressive.
It may end up being jonh that we wait on, and that’s totally understandable.
Cool!
Even Star Wars one day will be gone without a trace for whatever intelligent life will inhabit or come across the planet.
