Eh… doesn’t seem to fit snugly. I don’t mind if anyone wants to reach out, but I don’t see this as particularly valuable. I would like, though, to gently fold in a couple bars of Across the Stars.
I feel that there will be at least two things remaining that imply Rey is connected to Palpatine. Maybe not enough to present a problem, but worth considering.
Her use of lightning. Now, we’ve seen Dooku use lightning once also, but this is closely associated with Palpatine.
The doorway to Palpatine’s Wayfinder opens for Rey. In the film we suppose it has to do with her being a Palpatine. Even though that doesn’t make a great deal of non-mystical sense. However, it reminds me of people thinking Rey was a Skywalker because R2 supposedly magically sensed her arrive at the end of TFA.
Sympathies.
I can’t wait to see what you’re able to do with Rey Nobody. I’m sure you’ve already considered this, but perhaps the duel in Kylo’s bedroom could end with, “I know what happened to them. I’ll come tell you.”
lol, 3PO just asking “do you have any Chewie?”
I’m tempted to get excited about actually seeing something substantially helpful for this movie. (Not just that idea but in general.)
No idea.
You’ll just have to imagine a gif for this one:
When you open your bank account and see your tax refund.
Palpatine being rejuvenated by the dyad, eyes brightening
Eh… I don’t really imagine removing it. It’s… fine. I buy JJ intended that to be gently hinted at in TFA, but TLJ dropped it without a trace. So… this might be a reasonable split of the difference. I’m glad they didn’t have him using telekinetic powers or anything, though. Just… feelings.
It’s present in my ProRes master file. So, rather than going through several hoops to get the source fresh, I just did a crappy shape mask to copy a different portion of the frame. Looks seamless, and took hardly any time at all.
Hmm, I have no idea what that’d be. My only guess is that when I darken the shot maybe it appears when it otherwise would have blended in. Is it just a frame or two?
Edit: nope, whole shot. Weird. I’ll make sure it’s not there this time; thank you!
Yeah.
Exporting a candidate through Compressor 4. 😃
I like that! At first I wondered if ‘Anakin vs. Obi-Wan’ was a good fit but it seems appropriate. The music drop off helps accent Leia cutting in.
Is there unused score on the soundtrack that was originally meant for this duel?
I’m going to export a few clips from 7 to use, since it’d be unnecessarily tricky to recreate certain things. I’m exporting just the Ach To scene from TFA and its gonna take 8 hours.
I think it’d be very doable to gently extend the “squeaky wheel” bit. Would just need the puppetry equipment either painted out or just cropped.
Without bonafide deleted scenes I wouldn’t want to eclipse Palpatine having the first line.
Ah, I see, thank you.
Seems promising so far. I’m going through carefully, clip by clip, reapplying settings and filters. The order of shots and clips seems to be mostly sound, though some are sporadically missing. All in all, should at least be possible to export, even though it’ll take some work. I don’t know what happened with FCP7 when I upgraded to a SSD, but the exports were going exponentially slowly.
No, by ALL means, keep it up. You’re the civilian forces that show up at the end of the battle.
Just spent $20 in the Mac App Store to get ‘SendToX’ to attempt to migrate existing FCP7 projects over to FCPX, at least to get things exported I’ve done so far. I guess I’ll almost have to use FCPX going forward, even if I want to occasionally dip into 7 to do tricky audio stuff.
No guarantees. Wish me luck.
Seems to work pretty well. I wish I had more time and quiet to be able to give more feedback for the moment.
Hmmm, that’d probably be a bit much.
While I like that moment, I’ll admit the moment works totally fine without it.
It seems to only be using one core. Can’t be helped. I’ll just be patient and leave it alone. But it puts me further from doing much with TROS.
