Pretty sure this will help out with long-wished-for versions of the original trilogy... !!

Thats about the only bit that interests me about the BD set
J
Nothing much, mainly fixing what doesn't appeal to me....CG Dewbacks, hangers full of Troopers etc
J
OK will give it a go.....I have some ideas to tweaking some of Adywan's Revisited/Purist Versions, I got permission from the great guy to use his masterpieces as a base, the plans I have are not too radical.
J
Thanks, but I still want to try and make it less CG looking....any ideas?
Either that or replace the first SD with CG model

The inclusion of closer craft (obviously looking smaller) also sells this shot.
Added another SD....just to see what it would be like:

I thought it looked really good... But it seems like the frame rate is higher in the last shot. Is it 23.976?
No the whole project is 29.97...all sourse components correspond.......maybe youtube?
timdiggerm said:
At the very least, the Star Destroyer is moving much faster in the last shot, which is jarring and doesn't make sense.
Well the SD's speed was based on the original footage.......I think it matches.....dunno?
Thanks Angel, you always seem to know where the best images are.

A different DS

That's why I modified Harmy's covers away from the 97 SE style, like Harmy I'd like to remove any SE ingredient from the mix.
J
Sorry Harmy...didn't notice that.
Where are the new backs you have?
J
.....and one for ESB
J
Did a few mods to your Star Wars cover Harmy
J
While we are on this 'plausible' subject, I always wondered why no pressure suits when they squelch around in a space slugs guts?
J
Hey! I'm not complaining,....It sounds like a good idea

Really nice ideas there Angel.
As for Death Star reveals, the station is compared to a small moon, which would make it smaller than an Earth sized planet (possibly even smaller than a moon sized moon) but I'm all for first reveals that make the station look really big, which is why I suggested we don't get a full reveal until the Falcon is caught in the Tractor Beam.
We could see bits and pieces (towers, windows, hangers etc) but not get the full enchilada until our heroes do.
That would require a lot of new scenes, Death Star used every time as an establishing shot.
A new establishing shot would need to have something that the audience can instantly be informed that its 'the bad guy's base', I don't think each establishing shot should be bits and pieces, this would confuse the viewer (always keep in mind this could be their first screening of this movie)

Very well done Harmy, you are a grafter, are there any other similar problems ahead?
J
A comparison for yas
Still think the Chewie version works better, best compromise
J
This is the cut SE shot
Also, do remember the old saying, "don't bite the hand that feeds ya"
J
No way Harmy the inserted shot of Chewie for those few seconds is definitely the right decision, you are making The Despecialized Edit and thats what you have done, i watched the original clip you showed us and I didn't notice the insert.....thats because you made it look natural, the GOUT insert of Jabba makes you aware there has been work attempted, the smoke makes it look SE.
Stick with original plan.....Despecialize
J
Yeah Koo Stark was HOT!, check her out on google, she did some nude stuff, she dated Prince Andrew.........did film Star Wars scenes (Tosche Station).....but was not involved in Empire Strikes Back so don't think can be in this edit. :(
J
Looks very good and well thought out but I found myself just looking at the new breath, I would probably be distracted through the whole Hoth segment if you did it, till I got used to it.

I've delayed my viewing of your project on the count of visiting family. I'll try to watch it within the next few days. There is only one Blu Ray player in the house, and my obsession with Star Wars over the years has caused my family to be disgusted with the films. I don't know why, I always watched them alone.
Yeah me too.......wait a minute, sorry, thought you were talking about porn!
