Gotcha, makes sense, then. I should maybe actually read the main description.
What’s the rationale for adding it, though, especially if it’ll need to be heavily subdued and barely audible?
Bumping in the interest of checking in about the potential alternate opening. (Original blue text and new ‘Coaxium Heist’ title shot)
FWIW, I’d recommend the Rogue One style opening. ALTAIAGFFA card, then cut to an opening shot. I don’t imagine backstory or exposition via text would be any more useful for a movie adaptation than it was(n’t) for the original show.
Need a child with twouble with his R’s to voiceover?
“Supweme Chacelloh, thewe’s too many of them. What ah we going to doeau?”
Try adding Palpatine’s line from fortnite - “The day of the Sith” before “find me” on Mustafar on next workprint should be easy thing todo.
I’ve already brought the volume down substantially on the Palpatine line. If I were to add another it would need to also be almost subliminal. I’m not sure what it would add, though. As it is the audience miiiight hear the “Find me” and ask themselves, “Waaaait a minute…”
Skenera made LUTs available, and I plan to apply his basic LUT to the whole film, sans any shots whose source it wouldn’t work with. I like his grey Exegol LUT, so I will play with it. Perhaps it would look good to add the general and grey LUTs to Exegol each at 50% percent or something like that. I’d err on the side of not giving Exegol full special treatment, though.
And, snooker, yeah!!
Sorry I skipped over it, but DX-330, that certainly wouldn’t be bad as a front cover image. Certainly in the ballpark at least.
I do like this one, too. It seems to fit with the images of Kylo and Luke from the other two.
Got the crawl from Ridley! But the ghosts shots will come when jonh can finish them and he’s thankfully working more of his real job.
I’ll put out a good workprint soon, with color correction.
Neerb is right about the TFA and TLJ covers I’m referencing. It happened organically that the ST and PT edits had a different look. People have made other covers and I’ve included the ones I had in the downloads, but separate people initially presented covers to me for the PT and TFA:R, so it grew from there.
Now, now. That’s all right!
I think the things in the OP are worth waiting for, so I don’t want to impose an arbitrary deadline and either miss out or be obliged to do a lot more work to do a V2 later on. However, once some of them are laid in, I can lock the edit for sync at least.
Movies Remastered, I’d never seen those covers before. Did you just do that? They look very nice. However, for this project the cover artwork should match TFA:R and TLJ:L. BUT, I will happily include any alternates you, DZ-330, or anyone else cares to create, also.
Once sync is locked one of the things that can be approached is some sort of group commentary recording. The bottleneck will probably be my own schedule, as I’d have to plan in advance and make opportunity to step away from everything for like 3 hours. I’d definitely want poppasketti to join in if he’d like. But, I’ve never done anything like that before so I’d need some suggestions for best practice. I imagine meeting via Skype or Zoom or something and then collecting firsthand recordings from all the participants that I can align and edit.
Not really; there’s not much I can do beyond waiting for the remaining bits and pieces from others as outlined at the top of the OP. Once the edit is ‘locked,’ I can do subtitles and chapters and stuff like that. Once I get the Naboo shot from snooker I will put out another workprint.
Actually, one thing we still need is cover artwork. There was a good front image to use posted a while ago, but does anyone with the know-how feel like crafting something to compliment TFA:R and TLJ:L?
Glad you recommended that!
What are you doing there, Threepio?
Taking one last look, sir… at my “friends.”
Eyes turn red and vaporize the core cast
One frame 85% into the movie, eh?
Hardly seems worth it but sure, I can adjust that. Better to now while I still can!
Can you detail for me how D+77 2.3 differs from the GOUT?
After the victory in TROS, every planet ever seen in Star Wars is seen in the montage with looping music. Including the Alderaan rubble field.
I’m open in principle but skeptical it could be totally seamless.
I don’t think so for this project, but I sincerely agree its an interesting idea I wouldn’t mind see explored!
And, if the source material were there for the “more than a clone” line I’d be all for it. But the off the cuff microphone>speaker>phone recording we have to work with just isn’t there. 😕
I do think that TROS:A as it is presents at least a better version of Palpatine returning, with a bit less muddy water. It’s more clearly implied he’s a clone than in the original.
I don’t mind posting ideas here! Especially if this project is idir’s TROS ‘home base’ for now.
I don’t think I would want to go that route, though. Luke appears as he walks out of the ship, and a static shot of him waiting to do so seems to undermine what that shot is trying to do.
I would have liked MORE Luke in the movie, though!
In other news, I have a crawl from Sir Ridley now. I think whenever snooker is happy with the Naboo shot, another workprint will be in order.
Not bad! Axlanian can record and process original lines, also.
Anyone have any ideas for dialogue for the troopers speaking with 3PO? The 3PO line is currently “Excuse me, sir, might you direct us to—-“
Need two brief lines, neither in direct 3PO’s unfinished question.
Mmmm… TPM marketing nostalgia. Makes me feel cozy.
I wouldn’t mind stumbling onto a copy of the ‘Episode I Scrapbook’ sometime. I like images of the pre-coverings C-3PO. That was the first SW figure I ever got.
Okay, but can we keep the music transition?
I don’t think so. The way it is in the workprint feels natural to me, moreso than your clip. It just seems to go on a note or two longer than it should.
Hmm, it’d potentially mess up the music to shift it forward but might be worthwhile to just see how it plays. I’d be surprised, though.
It’d certainly be in keeping with the rest of the movie for a fast paced ending shot!
I don’t think so, guys. I don’t think it really belongs there, so I’m gonna cut that off.
I’ll get ready to dodge tomatoes.
