by the 25th pic I was afraid that this guy has an abnormally high OCD

by the 30th pic I figured that my own desire for the pursuit of perfection pales in comparison to this guy (hehe, I was actually going to make this comment BEFORE I mentioned the OCD above)

by the 35th pic I just succumbed to the realisation that this guy just has WAAAYYY too much time on his hands ... either that, or he subscribes to the "Sam Raimi" style of story-telling where eventually it's all so over-the-top that it actually creates its own wicked vein of humour within ... check out Evil Dead to know what I mean here

Now see, this kinda sloppiness really gets my abnormally high OCD 'goat'...

...as there were only 34 pics in my original post, not 35!  ;)

"Too much time on your hands" is a lazy excuse people make to shelter themselves from knowing that they are not as creative or hardworking as someone else.

On the other hand, there is absolutely nothing wrong with that scene and you spent way too much of the time on your hands, however much that is, working on things that people will not notice.

Er...but I *did* happen to notice these things...although I can't speak for others.

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion of course, but whatever amount of spare time I chose to use to draft up my original post is absolutely irrelevant...as the point is that because I noticed them, they were something I personally wanted adywan's thoughts on, to see if *he* agreed, or not.  Simply that.

A lot of things can be considered very trivial and unimportant at the end of the day, but I'm always personally interested to see whatever someone finds worthy of bringing up for adywan's attention, no matter how they go about it.  But I'm kinda uncertain whether to post my nearly finished, but lengthy 'Dagobah' screenshots/comments here now, if they're going to be a problem for some to scroll down past.  Maybe I should just put those and any future screenshots/mock-ups/comments I've got planned for 'ROTJ:R' onwards into a seperate thread altogether?  Or perhaps I should just PM them all directly to adywan?  I'm happy to go by what he wishes.

I think if anything about the scene needs to be corrected/updated/fixed, it would just be the matte paintings of the chasm.  They always looked a little... papery.

Well adywan's colour correction is certainly going to improve them throughout the sequence, but I just wonder if the inconsistent, darkened 'vents' during the shots I showed somehow made things look more obviously 'painterly', or not?

Some worthwhile efforts on your mock-up clip there aalenfae, and it's been interesting to see some of your other recent stuff too.  :)

While the overall effect looks really neat, I'm not sure that Vader would have his saber drawn as he storms the base with the troopers (unless he took someone out with it just before we see them break through, in which case he might then switch it off as he enters the area we see him), as I think he already comes across as pretty intimidating in the scene as it is, and is probably confident that his 'Force-powers' are more than enough to deal with the ones that he's after, should they give him any problems...  (although if Luke *had* been there and drawn his lightsaber, I'm guessing Vader would have done the same at that point) - additionally, Vader is only seen drawing his saber *after* Luke challenges him in the Carbon Chamber, and also only turns it on *after* Ben does in adywan's version of the 'ANH:R' duel.

But I'm certainly curious to see if there'll be any kind of 'embarking' from the AT-AT's in this particular edit, or not, eventually.  (I didn't really agree with Harmy's observation about it, but perhaps if you'd showed troops rappeling down from another of those AT-AT's at the same time too, it wouldn't have seemed like that to him.  Just a thought.)

Also, I'm uncertain that AT-AT's would have reached the 'back'(?) of the base that the Falcon flies out of...  (although I seem to remember wondering if more of them might been deposited to attack the base from other directions too, unseen by us, in the past...)

Just some of my own thoughts on that, but it's adywan's feedback that counts for this edit, of course.

Ziz said:

I never noticed that some were on and some weren't until IF pointed them out but I submit that they don't need to be fixed because they're not mistakes.

We all know that background is a combination of matte paintings.  Maybe some of them were painted dark on purpose to indicate that those vents were turned off/not in use.

Fixing mistakes is one thing - homogenizing every detail so that everything is mindlessly consistent is something else.

Rather than 'homogenizing every detail so that everything is mindlessly consistent', I just liked the fact that there was a possible opportunity to introduce a little additional (red) colour to certain shots, which might subtly enhance the 'visual' aspect of them even more during this great sequence.  I can live with the 'burnt bulbs' notion though, if things are left as they are.

But the other points about the 'dotted line' of lights in the 3rd and 4th photos of my original post still stand, as well as possibly 'whitening' up that 'yellowish' light I mentioned, so I'm interested to see what adywan decides on those too eventually.

Angel said:

Nice to see that this idea is not dead yet

Heh, no not dead, just delayed as I keep getting sidetracked.  And because I noticed a couple of other little things to do with the 'Dagobah' scenes that I ended up deciding to include too.  But it's been a tricky one to organise as it involved so many screenshots to get certain things across properly, without being confusing.  Hopefully there'll be something of interest to you and others when I post it for adywan's thoughts soon.

Dude, you know theres a story being told during this film right? Its right in the foreground, more or less right in front of all those tiny little lights in the background. If you squint real hard you can just make it out...

Jeez 'dude', I guess your gonna really dislike the next posts I'm planning for 'Dagobah' and 'ROTJ:R' eventually...

Don't get so hung up on the fact that there's certain trivial things that some of us might end up flagging up for possible consideration to be tweaked in future.  adywan will take or leave certain things at the end of the day, but this project is an opportunity for all thoughts, good or bad or well-intentioned.

Monroville said:

I always felt that Vader gave Luke a nudge towards the vents, which then pulled him in once he got close enough (as that initial scene with Luke tumbling towards the vents looks too awkward for him to be naturally sucked in, not to mention it fit with Vader wanting his son to live).

Monroville, although I quite liked darth_ender's possible explanation HERE of how Luke managed to be 'sucked into' the side from the middle of the wide chasm, your theory of Vader using the 'Force' to steer him over is interesting too.  

But I've finally settled on this alternative notion now  -

Since Luke has had some 'Force' training by this point, I guess he might have been able to 'influence' his trajectory mid-fall towards the 'vents' himself ...which would remove the need for any kind of 'sheer blind luck' thanks to 'super suction', or any 'helpful' intervention by Vader.  It's no biggie, but I kinda like the possibility that even though Luke's options were severly limited, he took a calculated risk after noticing the 'vents' below him, before he let go, and managed to save himself with an intentional 'Force'-induced swerve towards a group of them...  (and since this notion does away with the need for 'super suction' now, then I guess that unlike Luke, the hand/lightsaber *would* have just continued to fall directly down the middle to the bottom, after all) 

However, the other scenarios work well enough too, so everyone can choose their own preference.

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Okay, here's another couple of minor things to do with this sequence that I want to cover before I move on -

On page 722 adywan said:

Well the matte has gone through a few modifications since the preview.  The gantry and walkway have been shrunk, along with the window and the sphere at the top has been made larger and had a few modifications.  The scale as it stands now makes the chance that the carbon chamber could be at the top of the structure more believable.

adywan, although your excellent '3D motion' effect and various neat alterations to the 'Vane' were the most noticeable changes at the time, I've been meaning to highlight a couple of other subtle improvements that were shown in your 'rapidshare' preview clip back on page 722 -

Start of original SE shot -

As well as fixing the small portion of incomplete background detailing on the right-hand of the above SE shot (that I've pointed to in your version below)...it's also really great that you managed to subtly add the missing groups of red 'vent' openings all the way around the chasm too...especially since it's a moving shot!  This really helps to tie-in nicely with the red 'vents' seen around this area in the various shots that follow afterwards...

Start of Revisited 'rapidshare' preview shot (which needs to be seen in motion to be fully appreciated) -

Terrific job all round.

But I'm wondering if you can subtly touch up a couple of other things in some of the following shots too, perhaps?  There seems to be some missing colour on some of the rows of red 'vent' openings, and also on some of 'dotted lines' of red/orange lights during various shots...and it would be neat to see a bit of colour added to all of them whenever they appear, if possible -

Firstly, could the currently white 'dotted line' of lights I've pointed to in the 2 shots below be given some red/orange colouring instead?...to match better with the colour of the 'dotted lines' of lights seen in other shots during the sequence that they are probably meant to represent...

Here -

And Here -

Alternatively if preferred, this particular 'dotted line' of lights seen in the 2 shots above could be removed altogether...to tie-in even more with shots that follow afterwards, since they don't actually seem to be seen at this same level with the 'walkway' in other shots... 

(see various shots further down in this sequence for examples of what I mean)

The positioning of the red 'dotted line' of lights seen nearest to us in the top-right of the 'duel' shot below is fine here, as they give a satisfactory enough appearance of being somewhere underneath the 'walkway' too, at this angle...as opposed to being roughly level with it...

...and everything looks fine in this shot of Luke below too...

...but is it possible to add a subtle hint of the missing red colour to the 'vents' I've pointed to here in the shot below?...

...and to the 'vents' in this shot below too?...

...and also to the 'vents' in this shot below too?...

...and also to these other 'vents' in the top-right of the same shot as above too? (which are more noticeable when everything brightens up during the flash of the sparks)...

...the 'vents' in the shot below are fine once again...

...but is it possible to also add a touch of the missing red colour to the single darkened one I've pointed to in the shot below too?...

...now the 'vents' in the shot of Luke below are fine once again...

...but is it possible to add a hint of the missing red colour to the 2 single darkened ones I've pointed to in this shot below too?...

...and also to the 'vents' behind Luke in this shot below too?...

...and also to the 'vents' seen in this shot below too?...

...and also to the 'vents' seen behind Luke in the shot below too?...

...and also to the 'vents' seen in the shot below too?...

...now the 'vents' seen on the top-right of the shot below are fine once again, but should the 'yellowish' light I've pointed to below, be whitened up to match later shots of the chasm wall lights, or not?...

...and is it possible to add a hint of the missing red colour to the 'vents' in the shot below too?...

...now the 'vents' in the shot below are fine once again...

...and they are also fine in the shot below...

...but is it possible to add a hint of the missing red colour to the 'vents' seen in the shot below at this point too?..

...now the 'vents' seen in the shot below are fine once again...

...and they are also fine in the shot below...

...and they are also fine in the shot below too...

...and they are still fine in the shot of Luke below too...

...but is it possible to also add a hint of the missing red colour to the single darkened one I've pointed to in the shot below too?...

...then after Luke first looks downwards, the 'vents' seen in the shot below are fine once again...

...and like all of the various 'close-ups' of Luke, the 'vents' in the shot below are fine once again...

...and the 'vents' seen in the top-right of the shot below are still fine, but again, should the 'yellowish' light I've pointed to below, be whitened up to match with other shots of the chasm wall lights, or not, in this shot too?...

...and is it possible to add a hint of the missing red colour to the 'vents' seen in the shot below too?..

...then the 'vents' in the rest of the sequence shots are fine once again...

...but I'm wondering if the 'white light' seen close to the base of the 'Vane' structure's 'stem' that I've pointed to in the shot below, should be included in your '3D motion' shot, or not?...as the original SE shot I've shown at the start of this post seems to have it hereabouts too...

...or should this one below just be removed too?

Anyway adywan, if you end up deciding against adding any red colour to the darkened 'vents' I've pointed too, I guess I can continue to 'imagine' that the bulbs have simply 'burnt out' on all these ones...and the 'maintenance guys' haven't gotten around to replacing them yet...  ;)

Y'know, it would also be interesting if a single example of a short sequence was included using each one of your various sources, one-after-the-other...to compare the differences of a scene in an 'at-a-glance' way.

Say for instance, the opening shot of the Stardestroyer/Blockade Runner just up to somewhere where we first see C3PO and R2.

Another neat preview of the Hoth Generator there!  This thing's really coming together nicely now.  Hopefully you're managing to cover all this 'behind-the-scenes' work for your 'extras' disc.  Maybe some very rough 'time-lapse'-style shots-in-a-row of this stuff would look quite effective, to show how certain things progressed from start to finish?

And those screen comparisons are pretty interesting.   On the blu-ray shot, it seems that the details on the rebels have been lost in a 'blur' compared to the original shot.  When you look at the explosion on the bottom right of the frame, it's very apparent how 'blurry' some elements look in the blu-ray shot now. 

Also, it's strange how the blu-ray shot seems to have the dead rebels lying in the foreground more 'in-focus' than the running rebels close to them, which are 'blurred'...yet in the original, both the dead and running rebels have the same amount of 'focus' to them!

I'm disappointed that the overdone 'digital scrubbing' of grain seems to be losing details in too many HD releases these days, and may have to change my title.  The 'Blu, not Blur!' campaign starts here!

This was just a small thing from my earlier post adywan, but I'm interested to know if you think the currently 'barely visable' red lights at the bottom of the 'stem' matte should be brightened up a little, or not.

Why do the stormtroopers always miss? Why is there gravity in the meteor? Why does Leia make out with Luke?

All very good questions...

Hey, just speculating on possibilities DC, rather than expecting any plausable, definitive answers...

darth_ender said:

In answer to your question, it seems likely that he was experiencing pull from all directions, happened to drift closer to one side (probably already closer to that side when falling, so the suction from that side was already pulling him slightly more than all the other sides), and finally got close enough for one particular shaft to nab him

Not bad darth, and seems as reasonable a notion as any.  Thanks. :)

Tobar said:

Er, I always thought it was a given that he never makes it to the bottom of the shaft but is sucked into one of those red exhaust ports in the wall.

Here's the scene in motion. And here it is as it appears in the script:

 

INTERIOR: REACTOR SHAFT

Suddenly Luke is sucked into an exhaust pipe in the side of the shaft. When Vader sees this, he turns and hurries off the platform.

 

Ah, thanks for quoting the 'script' here Tobar, as I've never actually read it.  So I wasn't seeing things after all...as this confirms he really *was* supposed to be 'sucked into' a 'vent' from the side!   

And a nice bit of 'literal' thinking there with this 'close-up' of the 'vent' Angel -

I really liked that!  :)

While it seems to have been obvious to some, I admit it's never been as clear to me that this was the case...because although it seemed a little 'lucky' that Luke managed to fall down into one of the 'chutes' directly, rather than missing it and splattering on the ground beside it...I just used to assume that the 'vent' could have been 'sucking him in' from it's possible location at the bottom too, as he got nearer down towards it...

However, I'm really pleased that the 'script' clarifys that the footage *is* meant to indicate that Luke enters the side of the chasm rather than the bottom, and clears this up for me...as his movement works better this way during the shot, on balance.

However, this throws up a question -

Considering he was falling straight down, right in the middle of a very wide chasm...this 'vent' must have had an extraordinary amount of 'suction' to pull him in from so far away...  Fair enough, but how come none of the other 'vents' in the wall that he already plunged past managed to 'suck him in' when he passed?...  Was this the only one working?...or did this particular one have 'turbo suction'?...

Mind you, I'm now of the mind that his severed hand and lightsaber probably didn't hit the bottom of the chasm either now...because if one of these side 'vent's' could manage to 'suck in' a heavy, fast-falling object like Luke from the middle, then they could easily have 'sucked in' much lighter objects like those too.

And that brings me to something else I wanted to bring up about this overall scene...

...is it just me?...or does it kinda seem like Luke has not fallen all the way down to the bottom of the chasm in the overall scene...but instead looks like he's being *sucked in* mid-fall towards the side of the chasm...before he actually reaches the bottom?!

Here's some screenshots to give a rough idea of what I mean, although it's better to study the moving footage itself -

Luke is falling directly downwards in the middle of the chasm at this point...

Shot 1 -

...and continues to do so in the shot below, passing several surrounding groups of red 'vents' at this point...

Shot 2 -

...and then we cut to this next shot below, where it initially seems as if he's still falling down the middle of the chasm...

Shot 3 -

...and looks like he's continuing to fall down the middle, down past even more groups of similar red 'vents' that are surrounding the side of the chasm...

...but then around this point in the shot, the footage kinda makes it look as if Luke then goes from falling down the middle of the chasm...to being 'pulled backwards' towards a group of surrounding 'vents' located further down at the side of the chasm!...

...just sayin', lol.

...however, although shot 3 above is a bit of a deceiving 'optical illusion'...I guess if I want to make it work better for myself in future, then I'll just have to start 'imagining' that we are now indeed looking directly down at the bottom of the chasm at this point...and will have to think of this particular matte background as being a rounded, concave shape...similar to looking at the inside curvature of the bottom of a 'test tube'...

chyron8472 said:

You know, I always wondered about the scene where Luke's hand falls from underneath Cloud City. It always seemed to me as though his severed hand was not seen lying at or near the place where Luke stopped at after sliding through the tube when falling away from Vader. The "floor" underneath him opens up and then the hatch on the underside of the city opens to expel him; Luke grasps the antenna and then the camera cuts downward to let us see his hand and/or lightsaber falling, but we never see it falling or resting at any place before it is seen under the city.

It always made me wonder where it came out, and if it did come out at the same place Luke did at the same time Luke did, why we didn't at least see it falling out when the city's outer hatch first opened.

It may (perhaps) have taken a slightly different route than Luke did, but given that he sees it directly below him, it obviously ended at the same place, so why isn't it seen falling from the outer hatch (or perhaps being dislodged from the antenna)?

chyron8472 - The issues in your recent post were brought up a while back, and although the item that fell outside wasn't Luke's severed hand or lightsaber...I remember that adywan reckoned they could have both just bounced somewhere on the surface at the bottom of the chasm... 

That's very plausible, and is the simple solution I like best...but I'd still like to speculate on a couple of things to do with this sequence, at this point...

Firstly, although the hand/lightsaber fell from a totally different spot compared to where Luke himself fell almost 2 mins. afterwards...I guess it's *possible* to believe that they could have both ended up going directly down one of the 'vent' openings in the shot below, like Luke did...although I'm not sure it would have necessarily been the same one as he did...

Alternatively...they *might* both have ended up lying somewhere nearby the 'vents' instead...after bouncing close to them at the bottom of the chasm - and considering how far away the 'vents' are from our viewpoint at this point, it's easy to just 'imagine' both the hand and lightsaber lying on the surface somewhere down there in the shot above...as they'd both be too tiny for us to see properly anyway...

Although that's the scenario I prefer to believe, I suppose adywan could even add either or both of them somewhere to the 'close-up' shot of the particular 'vent' below, if he wished to.  The effect would be very subtle, as they would still be very small in this 'close-up'...but it might be a possibility to indicate them here, I guess - perhaps only visable at the last moment on the bottom left of the frame, when we pan down to the last screenshot shown...  Just a thought.

Alternatively...whether or not the hand and the lightsaber seperated during their tumble down, or on hitting the surface...perhaps one of them then ended up bouncing off the surface and then into one of the 'vent' openings...while the other just bounced nearby, and is lying unseen somewhere 'offscreen' from the 'close-up' shot above...

...but *whichever* way you wish to 'imagine' it...even *if* either or both of them ended up going down any of the 'vent' openings at the bottom...I reckon there was plenty of time before Luke fell down (as seen in the 2 shots below), for it/them to tumble down and exit outside through the 'outer hatch' in the same way, unseen by us...

...that's *if* the 'outer hatch' happens to open and close quite regularly, of course...which I like to think it does.  But personally, I'll continue to 'imagine' that they're just lying on the bottom of the chasm somewhere...

Which brings me to something else I'd like to speculate on too...

For a while, I used to assume that the piece that *supposedly* 'breaks off' the 'vane' when Luke lands on it, had been attached to the bottom of it initially...but since there's a red 'light' at the bottom tip of the 'vane' prop (which I've arrowed below)...this seems to indicate it's actually still intact and not 'broken off' there, after all...

...so what part of the 'vane' broke off?...and how big was it?

Well, since the bottom tip of the prop is intact, I guess it's safe to assume it *might* have been an attachment from one of it's thinner, horizontal 'arms' instead...and was *probably* on the small-ish side...as judging by the example below, all the other 'vanes' nearby are quite spindly too, and don't have any substantially large attachments on them...

...however...rather than 'breaking' the 'vane' in any way when he lands on it...the actual footage *could* even be 'imagined' to show Luke seeing a 'random' piece of falling scrap garbage that's just been dumped out of some other 'outer hatch' on the understructure, when he looks down...*despite* what the 'script' says! 

But I certainly prefer to go with the notion of him *supposedly* 'breaking off' a small-ish, unseen 'vane' piece from somewhere on one of it's spindly arms.  

Which leads me to another little issue concerning the falling item...

Firstly, Cloud City is an enormous structure with many 'skyscraper'-sized buildings on top...so the scale of it's long 'stem' underneath must be massive, as seen in this example below...

...however, although I like the overall effect it gives, I reckon the shot below kinda makes the falling item look huge, due to it's seeming close proximity to the gigantic 'stem'...and the fact that we can still clearly see it falling in the distance when it seems to eventually reach all the way down to the massive 'ball' section at the bottom of the 'stem'...

...which shouldn't be the case from the viewpoint shown here...because if this *was* meant to be just a small-ish sized piece from the 'vane' that was falling, it would have disappeared from our view long before it reaches the 'ball' that's a great distance below us...

Here's the shot from beginning to end - 

...but I guess this is probably an 'optical illusion' caused by the 'forced perspective' matte...and I'll just have to 'imagine' that the 'stem' is actually meant to look as if it's a far greater distance away from the side of the falling item, than how it seems...and that the falling item hasn't really reached anywhere as far down as the 'ball' yet during the shot!

Still, I reckon the shot above might have given a more effective illusion of the massive scale of the 'stem' in relation to the tiny size of the falling item in the foreground...if it had shown the *presumably* small-ish 'broken' piece of 'vane' entering from the top of the frame in 'close-up' to us initially...before quickly disappearing from our view altogether.

Here's a rough 'mock-up' of the kind of thing I'm getting at -

The shot could have started off something like this perhaps ...

...and the small-ish piece of 'vane' would rapidly get smaller...

...and then completely disappear out of sight around this point...long before it would seem to reach anywhere near the 'ball' at the end of the 'stem'...

...and for a few moments before the end of the shot, we would see only the 'stem' now and hear the sound of the wind...

...but I'm certainly okay with the original footage being an 'optical illusion' as I say.

And just another little thing...although I like the additional detail they give to the 'stem', those 3 red lights must be absolutely enormous in scale... 

No real reason why they shouldn't be, I guess...but maybe they'd seem slightly less so, if they were placed at their current size, further up the 'stem', closer to the top of the frame where it's wider...as I've shown in my 'mock-up'.

Also, I'm not 100% sure about this...but it seems like there *might* be 2 more, less discernable red lights further down the matte of the 'stem', and another on the 'ball' itself...but the colour is a little dark on the SE, and I don't have the GOUT at hand to compare.  But if there *are* 2 or more lights down there, perhaps they could be made to look a tad brighter...

These are no biggies, by any means, but I've added them to my 'mock-up' of the shot to see what you think anyway.

STAR WARS: EP V &quot;REVISITED EDITION&quot;<strong>ADYWAN</strong> - <strong>12GB 1080p MP4 VERSION AVAILABLE NOW</strong>
Time

Between the AT-AT, Hoth Generator, and Snowspeeder previews so far (and other planned items), It's really neat to know that the art of 'miniature' building is playing a large part in these edits, on top of the CGI stuff. :)

Great work so far, and I wonder if that incomplete Stardestroyer is going to feature somewhere in ESB:R too?...

The FAN-EDITED Trailer Appreciation Thread!
Time

HAPPY HALLOWEEN ALL!

I'm very fond of 'trailers' in general...and although I'm only concentrating on specific, 'officially'-released ones for my 'MOVIE TRAILER SHOWCASE' thread , I'd also like to kickstart this seperate, dedicated thread for various FAN-MADE movie trailers, 'fan-edit' preview trailers, and any movie 'mash-up' clips that catch my eye or anyone else's.

There seems to be heaps of fan-edited trailers uploaded to Youtube these days.  Some showcase a lot of technical and creative talent, and can sometimes convey a very different 'tone' compared to the 'official' ones. 

So I'll start things off with a few examples I came across today.  Feel free to add links to any other examples you'd like to see included here, and perhaps some of you may be inspired to have a go at one or two of your own sometime...
