The music is superb!! Please do tell where you got it from.

The first one from here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U2Z04NAa65w

The second one from here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RaEzKRngCyY

Which one do you prefer?
The first one is nice, but I’m not completely satisfied about how I have to dissolve it and put the Imperial March part at the end (when DV and Palpy look at the Death Star).

DARTH VADER CLIP.

Now I’ll link two videos about the final Darth Vader presentation, with only different musics.
I prefer the second one, but I’ll listen to you 😄

You will see:

1. The color correction.
2. The cut from Padme’s scene, where we don’t hear the childrens’ names nor her death.
3. No Darth Vader talking about Padme. He uses the Force and crushes things simply to show his power.
4. No “NOOOOOOO!”, we cut to the Star Destroyer’s scene.

In the SECOND video, the one I prefer, the scene continues to my concept for the ending.
Don’t mind the missing final audio.
I think it is nice to see the scenes of Luke/Leia while Yoda is speaking.

Pasword?

I like the original one a little bit better, but I wouldn’t mind if you used the new dark blue.

Yeah, I prefer it too.
I would have loved putting some stormy effects, but at least for now I’m not able to do it.

KENOBI-PADME scene update.

I kept trying. I tried with other rain effects, with color correction, brightness, contrast, etc. But it still remains too much visible, and even if I change settings in a considerable way there is the problem of the CGI in background that becomes a punch in the face.
The only solution would be a completely new background, but I don’t have any instrument nor capability to do it. I’m not Adywan 😄

This is the last test. I gave a blueish tone. It seems the scene is set right before dawn or sunset.
Now you simply have to choose between the two.

After this I’ll give you the Darth Vader presentation shot. You’ll have to choose between two different musics, one being an Imperial March remix and the other being the “Hope” track from Rogue One.

Lol, if anyone has any suggestion on how to improve the scene I’m glad to hear it.
If I change settings on the rain green screen, rain disappears.
Tha masking on the column remains too much visible, probably because of the double effect (darkening and rain behind).
I don’t know how to darken the sky, cause it has the same problems of the rain.

I can leave it the way it is, with the simple darkening effect.
Or I can add the storm sound, but then when we see the sky, it is not a stormy sky.

I think for the time being I will pass to other scenes, lol.

I like this idea man. I see what you’re saying about the rain though. I kind of think this particular rain effect just doesn’t work for some reason. Maybe another would, or messing with the opacity of the effect.

If the rain doesn’t work, maybe you could just add distant sounds of thunder instead.
I think the color grading looks cool, though the horizon does seem a little bright. I think that kind of gives the effect away a little bit since you can’t really do much about the sky being clear despite how stormy the mood feels now.

Totally my opinion, but I think adding thunder sounds, and maybe trying to darken the sky somehow, might be more effective than adding rain in the background.

Thank you very much for the suggestions 😉 I’ll see if I can manage to improve the rain effect. Otherwise I’ll try something else.

RAIN PREVIEW.

This is what it looks like. (audio is still to be worked on)
I think you understand my skepticism.
I masked Padme every single frame. In fact, I dont think you notice it that much.
But the cutting around the background floor and the column is pretty mich visible, and I don’t know how to fix it.

I’d like to know your first impression.
If you think it is acceptable, then I continue and cut Obi and Padme even in the following scene. Then I slowly dissolve rain before Kenobi leaves.

Otherwise it will go only with darker setting and without rain.

Yeah, if fact the concept was extremely effective. I will try again.

Really well done!

It looks good, looking forward to your edit!

Thank you very much!

Visually stunning.

Thank you! I’m glad you like it.
I’m not completely sure about the sky though.

And another VIDEO PREVIEW.

This clip is about n. 21 of my change list.
I made a color correction on the Obi Wan-Padme scene to make it less colorful and sunny, and more dark and dramatic.
Removed mention of Anakin killing younglings.
MAYBE I will try to add rain on background again. But I can’t make promises.

Do you know how can I upload images and make them visible here directly?
Or the name of the site where you can upload two pictures and compare the differences by passing the mouse on it?

LordZerome1080 said:

Cool stuff. What transfer of rots are you using? I’m only asking because I own the dvd.

I own the Blu Ray package of the saga. Right now I’m using the 720p version of the Blu ray.

FIRST VIDEO PREVIEW.

This is just some seconds, but you can see the Color Correction (the Venators are less yellow and more grey) and I removed the Buzz Droids freezing Obi Wan, plus all the R2 gibberish.
Also you can see that I’m working on a 720p version of the movie.

Lol, wow! I don’t promise, but I think I can put at least a part of it if I can make the reverb sound nice.
Grazie! Thank you! I will link some tests.

Maybe add in a line where Palpatine says he is Anakin’s father.

You mean the theory about Plagueis or Palpatine manipulating the Force to “create” Anakin?
Unfortunately I don’t have any instrument to do it, nor any believable voice to add (I’m not from an English-speaking country), but at least it will be clearer that Palpy is the one controlling Anakin’s dreams.
But if you have any suggestion about how to at least point out about the matter, I would be extremely glad to consider it.

In the council scene where Anakin is waiting, I can do a Palpatine voice and you could include it there.

That would be cool. I can make a reverb effect and put it on background sound.
It could be something like “Chosen one… conceived by the Force… no father… manipulate to create life”.
Or something like that, something that suggests that Palpatine (or Plaguieis) has something to do with it.

Phrosted, just give me a week and then pm me

Of course, I’m not in a hurry. Take your time.

Another color correction.
As you can see the floor is less blueish and more greyish, and Anakin’s lightsaber is more similar to the OT, while keeping Dooku’s one the same.

Just a question: I remember a website where you can see the comparison by just using the mouse. What website is that?
