Guerilla editing. It’s on a pillow. Sad that my computer desk has to be in a corner of the living room, but we do what we gotta do to make it through each day. Don’t have kids so close together!
But yeah, the scene is sound, but needs those two shots to be given some magic.
And I’ll match up the music and play with extending it whenever I get a chance.
Using the elements provided by LILLIAN, here’s the current shape of the ‘squeaky wheel’ moment. There’s an ugly shot that I hope to improve upon, and which can’t remain as is anyway because the widescreen matte is out of place. The AOTC score fades out over the scene rather than ending at a non-arbitrary point, which may be all right. Rey’s “okay” is culled from TLJ.
It ain’t much, but I was lucky to carve out even 25 minutes this weekend to sit down at my computer at all. (Believe it or not, I kneel at my computer nowadays because the baby wall and chair placement make it difficult to hop up instantly as I almost always need to be ready to do. Fan editing hurts my knees now.)
Being somebody’s biological child isn’t a good explanation for her talents or messiah-ship. I agree that some sort of thematic connection for this would have been nice, but being daughter or so and so is totally flat.
I feel positively about how the VHS and DVD boxes farted when you closed them right.
Not a problem; we are vigilant about that kind of stuff, for our own good.
Presumably, most people are going to use a primary source much subsequent to the DVD release of the prequels, and may not have access to those deleted scenes. Besides, people are requesting processed versions of them to look better in upscaled high definition.
However, asking for material that should have been included with the Blu-ray of a current film implies that you may be working from something else.
I hate to be so negative, but I can’t help but agree.
But, if anyone would ever want to recreate them and use the lossless audio output, feel free. I don’t own this stuff.
Yeah, that and the DVD-sourced deleted scenes (not to mention not wanting to anymore) relegate this to glorious 1080p HD.
Adywan, I’m so sorry.
If pseudo-impaling Luke wouldn’t be too crowded, I feel like Luke’s got to haunt him in some way.
But these are wonderful, in any edit. It helps the movie do what it wants to do.
New test for rescore some scene in TROS

Very nice!
Hell to the fuck yeah
Will do. If we’re very lucky is can over the weekend but I really can’t be sure. I’ve got three plates full, I feel like.
The colors already look much better!
Hmm, interesting musical connection. They used video game music for the speeder chase?
I like the DO scene! Did you do audio in 5.1? Could you perhaps make the audio assets available independently, for me to ensure it fits together with the rest of the movie? I might play with the music further or what have you.
Yeah, probably. I guess it’s a “fix” of the SE.
Anything to remove the repeat of TFA’s final notes would be welcome. I wasn’t happy with a rough mockup of using the end of ROTS’ audio because the two don’t align well.
Can’t see the DO scene yet because the link was duplicated, but it’d be wonderful to see that brief scene in usable shape as a way to let at least a moment breathe.
The music test feels like it was legitimately intended for the scene. What’s the source? Was it indeed from the soundtrack? I haven’t really kept up with the nuances of this stuff this time around.
Not a problem, and it should be relatively quick and easy to do. If two frames’ worth of space need to be added (or un-removed, I shouldn’t be surprised to find out as was the case with ROTJ) at that scene transition, that’s easy enough.
Assuming that’s all it’d need. I assume 4K80 will also sync to this, but I could update it further if needed for that.
Why don’t I plan to send it to you, Star Thoughts, before I release it? (Can’t promise when I’ll be able to.)
Can you tell me where exactly the break in sync occurs? If you can show me the shot that has the two extra frames I shouldn’t even have to download D+80 and rip it and take the time and effort.
I’ll take a look when I can, but I expect we’ll do better to take inspiration in generating one or more LUTs to apply to avoid quality degradation and issues with consistency across sources.
He’s Supershadow for a whole new generation. Edgier, angrier, more aggressively dumb.
As things are, my version uses the SE for the entire Battle of Yavin. I would find it distracting personally to switch back and forth.
I don’t plan to revise it in light of that error, but I’d think more about it if I were doing an update for other reasons.
If we could get the shockwave removed from Alderaan or the continuity error fixed during the SE Biggs scene, maybe, but on its own I don’t think it’d be worth the nontrivial amount of effort it’d take me.
I’m not sure, I’m really not. I don’t savor making big changes to core events like that.
Reordering scenes for better impact, sure! Could you perhaps repost your idea for how they go, now that I am more familiar with the movie?
You’d lose the scene between Luke and Leia, though.
