I do agree with Sherlock, it feels very right to go from the forest flyover into the scene proper. I think it’s implied in the transition from Castle to flyover that at least a little time has passed.
To be fair, that’s an advantage to the previous version using three shots. You get lava, seeing the castle as TIEs approach an area behind you that you don’t see until we cut to the forest flyover shot.
PM sent.
Mustafar sequence, proposed as final:

It’s got skenera’s LUT applied as well, so it’d be about how the final, cc’d fan edit will be.
Sade1212’s, Sherlockpotter’s, AND CaptainFaraday’s all sound very seamless to me. I’ve got all three lined up and trying to decide between them.
Sade1212’s are all mixed into a fully serviceable 5.1 mix. The clips CaptainFaraday sent me yesterday are not, and there are surround channels that have an echo of the original line and its placement. If sherlock can provide me with his fine-tuned take on things even just as the center channel, I’ll see whether it can be implanted into the mix.
Again, they all sound amazing and I’d be happy with any of them. I think CaptainFaraday’s has the slight edge, so hopefully an isolated version of the complete line can be presented.
sherlock, can you please send me the new “I am a jedi” line as you have it?
A spectacle of fan editing. Looking forward to the delicious meal.
Watching the clip hal, I think it looks good with the ties and whatnot not. I am colorblind, so I couldn’t contribute any color related things regarding some of the discussion.
I would say, if doable, the soot or speckles really, really stick out to me … kinda like dust on the film more than a scenic thing. If they could be cleaned up/remove, then it all looks great to me.
Yeah, that’ll be the thing to nail down about that shot. Idk if Nev can do that or someone else will need to. Anyone, let me know and I can send you the raw shot.
I’ll be happy to include whatever version you two hash out, of course.
The list of names in the OP is unmodified from V1, as is everything below the current working list of changes to V2. Once V2 is complete it’ll be updated.
I’m glad the audio sounds right at least! The entire sequence doesn’t have the LUT applied, so that may help them cohere, to have the same effect applied to all of it.
Here’s the current state of the Mustafar sequence. I added TIE sounds to Nev’s and Poppasketti’s new shot, though I might need to make the TIE sounds a little louder.

You can make the opening crawl last for the entire soundtrack.
By the way, Hal, I saw that in your “Things Completed” section that you renamed me from nl0428 to Master Lawdog. You actually haven’t from looking at the Special Thanks list.
It’s just there until I go through eventually and compose everything for a ‘write up’ for V2. Nothing to worry about yet.
No, it doesn’t mean that at all. Worst case I’ll smash it in there somehow.
Dat, while I don’t have anything actionable about your comment and I’m not sure poppasketti would either, I don’t think those issues would prevent me from using the shots we have for the sequence(s). You likely have sharp, professional eyes that detect things I just don’t.
That’s a good point.
Oh, my! I don’t have Rogue One practically memorized the way I do the saga films, but I just checked Krennick’s arrival on Mustafar and yeah, it’s the same! I never would have guessed the Biomes thing was recreating a shot from the movie.
Nev could have saved a lot of effort it seems by just painting out the shuttle from Rogue One itself.
So, I see what you mean, and flipping it shouldn’t be any problem.
@poppa, just had a thought. Cant you just use the same flight path in reverse and flip the models 180?
I would think that’d only work if the footage were also reversed, which can’t happen because of the mist and vapors.
I think this new shot is just fantastic. I look forward to messing with audio and baking it together to demo. 😃
I do agree with MR. If you consider the space shot before this one and the forest shot after it, we’d have three consecutive shots of TIEs flying away from camera.
I think the castle-in-background is fine. It’d look about the same above the base:
Yeah, is the silhouette we see in MR’s shots where it’s added to the background not passable as the back?
And if poppasketti exports his work as ProRes (or whatever), we could then see about other things like Krennic’s shuttle or what have you.
Maybe turn the shuttle into Vader’s TIE. Ha!
Hey everyone,
Well, I managed to find some time last night to at least get a first pass out!

pw: faneditI sent over the project files to Nev (including C4D files and models) so he can integrate any color correction or other tweaks he’d like to make.
Oooooooooh my God. Astounding! It’s a really cinematic look! Spooky, even. What joy.
I know what it takes for you to carve out an hour (or maybe not even), so thank you greatly. Hope your wife appreciates it; she should be proud.
And even so, I think it’s one of many things that probably would’ve been just fine if it had been part of the movie to begin with.
Well, I still do rather like the three-shot version. (Volcano drone footage > Vader’s Castle from Rogue One with TIEs added > TIEs over forest)
In a version using Nev’s new Biomes footage, it would be two shots: Vader’s Castle from Biomes > TIEs over forest.
It might even be all right to go with: Volcano drone footage > Vader’s Castle from Biomes > TIEs over forest. But you’d only have time to see the front or side of the castle. (The music has dictated the pace of the added footage from the beginning. I synced the soundtrack to where the music is when we see Kylo and extended it backward.)
Not sure how that happened either. Did I send you the footage? Who knows.
I can always just NOT apply the LUT when I do the final pass and get to those shots and eyeball it for consistency at that point.
And yeah man, poppasketti! You steam a good ham.
