Hal 9000

Make it sentient, verbal, and pissed.

Yeah, augmenting it would be ideal. If the original painting could be grafted onto Kef Bir that’d be incredible, too. (Like just that chunk of it.)

Well, removing it would probably be good, but to be fair I hadn’t noticed that until you pointed it out.

I don’t think it being from TFA would matter much, but I think it’d be a little clunky.

I like the previous mock-up better, too, with the troops pouring out.

The music is extended backward from where it matches the Kylo Ren cue, so it’s totally authentic. I’m glad natm and the rest of you guys suggested it because I wouldn’t have realized that.

Here’s another presentation of a mustafar opening.

It was attempted, and poppasketti did as well as it could be done, but it just doesn’t work. They’re too different and occur as very different scale and/or speeds.

Could possibly be done with audio, having the upcoming transports be heard a second or two before we cut to them. Maybe.

It’s such a short shot, I don’t see any issue myself with the troopers running.

I think it looks pretty good. It’s about the first thing we see in the movie, anyway. Would just the shot of the TIEs in the forest be enough, though?

That TIE forest shot just feels comforting and nice. Like paintings with Star Wars stuff added. https://www.somethingawful.com/photoshop-phriday/star-wars-art/1/

DAMN, dude!

Yes, I didn’t have it on my list but I was hoping someone could make Luke a little less blue after jonh finished with his hair, if he hadn’t already.

Once she left Jungle World and didn’t have to interact with a wax figure of Leia anymore, she should’ve pulled her braids (?) out.

How much of that footage do you have? Is there more than those couple seconds?

Here’s a super quick mock up of another way of doing it like StarkillerAG suggested. No music though for now.

Madine belongs to the same species as this guy.

Yep. My favorite fan theory. It’s just perfect. He poured a styrofoam cup of water up there right as Ackbar is giving his speech, out of frame.

I love getting to peek behind the curtain on the techniques and methods used for this sort of thing. Thanks for making these little videos to share.

What shot exactly for Rogue One do you have in mind?

And man, this is shaping up to be the Hal/sketti collab I heard a few people hoping for.

(As I’ve said many times, this is y’all’s edit. I’d guess less than 25% of this stuff was my idea, and most of it was executed partially or entirely by you guys, even if I recreated or pulled the trigger on much of it.)

(When this is all over and the day comes when Final Cut Pro 7 is forever beyond the pale, I will have a private ‘tears in rain’ moment for all I’ve learned about 5.1 audio mixing from a finished film source.)

At the beginning of AOTC, Padme says, “If you’ll excuse me, I will expire,” and then her head explodes.

Does the rest of that footage exist somewhere I can get it?

Also, here’s a test of Mustafar. Visuals come from poppasketti and LILLIAN. Audio by LILLIAN, modded and scored by me. Not sure about the choice of music, but here’s where we are:

Hey, thanks! Glad you enjoyed it. It’s probably good you haven’t been following the thread closely, since you can provide a fresher reaction

#2 is all thanks to DominicCobb, btw.

#4 is from poppasketti.

#5 has had some discussion, and the idea is that the dagger is the one whispering to her to nudge her in the right direction. It may not be clear enough to really be viable. I guess we are still indeterminate if it is truly viable to replace the Goonies moment.

This banned member/group did just that. It doesn’t particularly look like Iam Mcdiarmid, though it does still look just like a person rather than algorithmic monstrosity.

It’s in the same place as before, so the same link works. And thanks!
