Seriously... how do you do that? Can you tell me how you do some of those advanced effects? (Not step-by-step or anything, just general)

Windu's death scene was great like that!

Only thing is that you can still hear the original music, and it sounds like you're trying to drown it out with new music.

If there are numerous scene transitions in the IMAX version that weren't in other versions due to scene shuffling, I'm afraid I couldn't pull it off in a realistic way.
It'd be better left to someone else, but I'd be willing to create an edit "in the spirit of" the IMAX version. But that's not nearly as exciting.

I think in the 70mm version (and subsequently in the SE) she does grunt, but in the original 35mm version we see on laserdisc, she doesn't.

If I can get a copy of the VCD, I'd love to tackle this idea. It would not be exact, I'm assuming. But it should be able to be very close.
And I wouldn't mess with the aspect ratio, I'm not going to zoom in on the flim. That would be the major difference.

Can someone contact Rikter about this?

I'd be more than willing to take a crack at this edit, if I could find reference like this. (From the vague lists above, it sounds like it can be pulled off with on-the-cut editing.)

Awesome to hear a new version!

Only thing I can think of that ANH would still need done is just color correction and things like that. (Meaning things that got screwed up during restoration)
I do miss Wolfman, though.

And tellan, I would love to see your work with ANH. Could you post some pictures and/or clips? Or how could one go about obtaining your ANH edit?

True I suppose, but it always seemed to me that there were tons of scratch lines from earlier takes.
Oh well.

The "definitive list of IMAX changes" is very vague, so it'd be hard to know if my cuts and trims were even in the right place at all.

Even the first thing listed is that the office scene with Yoda, Amidala, and Palpatine is deleted. Does that mean from the start, of just the second half where the Loyalist party walks in?

Even so, the aspect ratio would be left alone, and there couldn't be any scene wipes. Everything I do has to be on the cut. If someone with more information and abilities could do it, I'd love a copy.

If it's not too late, I have a request for a change.

Something that's always bugged me about ESB are the scratches on the floor of the Falcon when Threepio is being dragged by artoo, leftover from previous takes.
Is this easily fixable? It's just always bugged me, and I noticed it even as a kid seeing it for the first time.

Trickbaxter, I've never heard of a ROTS IMAX version. Maybe I'm dumb, but I can't tell if you were kidding.

Anyway, if someone could find me a *complete*, and *detailed* list of every change to the IMAX version of AOTC, I might give it a shot and see if I can do it. Might be hard without any scene wipes.

No kidding.

Whenever George has a whimsical idea, Rick is right there to say, "that's f*cking awesome."
I couldn't even stand to sit through the ROTS commentary all the way, with Rick saying "Oh God, I love this part and they did such a f**** fantastic job" every time the power-point transitions wiped to a new scene.
I thought that podblast ROTS commentary with people making fun of it and belching was more informative than that.

George Lucas wrote my favorite three movies, and directed one of them.

McCallum hasn't done anything worthwhile of my mention.

How do I take footage shot in daylight, and filter it so it looks like it was shot in moonlight at night? What programs would work? I'm using Windows XP.

The scene in question is from AOTC, where Anakin and Padme are on the padio overlooking the lake.

Still tinkering with extended prequels.

Man, I'd sure never want to sit through an extended AOTC. The movie itself before end credits is almost 2 1/2 hours. Whoo, that's just too much for me. Even the normal length is too long. Makes me reappreciate that my personal edit is only 2 hours long.

ROTS is about the same, and I haven't tried TPM yet.

So is this a fan firlm, or did he get permission from LFL?

Is it sort of like when an EU author gets Lucas to approve a storyline, and then they write it?
