When 3PO is being repaired by R2 at the end of the movie it looks like R2 has also removed the scorching from 3PO's torso & neck.

Yay, the Captain's back on board!!!!!!!!
Glad things are looking up!!
All you need is some more reddies!!

They cut the sound because I used The Pretenders 'I'll stand by you' which I used cause it says "I saw the dark side".
Here's the end bit of the clip...just editing out the dumb line.
I don't know why Ady kept in the SE added stormies saying 'there's no-one here' as it doesn't make sence, especially after the officer told Vader there was no-one on board, kinda makes the officer looks like he was spoofing..

Has the topic of Vader telling one of his officers at the ramp of the captured Falcon that 'he senses something' been discussed?
It is a bit daft. Pity we can't see the expression of the officer.

Play it to the end as I've fixed it & the stormies repeating there is no-one on board.
EDIT: Replaced link as Youtube disabled audio

The magical floating speeder??
And who's been graffitti-ing on dat wall??
J
Thanks DF Shadow
Another thing I'm not too sure about is the amount of facial hair on the Imperials, yeah it would be ok if the Rebels were a bit scruffier looking but the Empire especially in the next two movies definitely look a bit smarter.
I say 'fuzz-away'!!

I'm still a little disappointed in Ady not using Temuera Morisson's voiceover, and actually re-using Jeremy Bulloch's. I know, I know, we've all grown up accustomed to Bulloch's voice, but if you think about it, it makes perfect sense. Boba is Jango's clone, so he should have the same voice.
I might have stepped on some toes bringing this sore subject up again, but that's just my two cents.
Jason Wingreen provided the original voice for Boba. Ady is reusing this original voice not only because it sounds better/cooler but because he doesn't believe that changes need made to the original trilogy just to fit into the poorly conceived new trilogy.
OI, the recent Vader hologram debate was kickstarted by me with this clip
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YwB1V3TLs9c
which eventually lead to Monroville's suggestion of a monitor
Is there the possibility of just replacing the shot with Vader on a viewscreen? When you think about it, it is rather silly to have a smurf-sized Vader (or anyone) on what looks like a cigarette plug-in hologram add-on...
The 'laptop' idea wasn't my preferred concept, I was trying to mock up Monrovilles suggestion.

IMO changing scenes just because we can is most of what's left to do on ANH :-) With exeptions like the images above of course, but changing backgrounds and colors definitely falls into the cathegory of changing stuff just because we can.
I'm all for changing scenes to improve the style or mood, just because we can.
Does anyone remember if Kenny's socks were mentioned on SW:R thread and did Adywan have any thoughts about their removal?
J
Thanks Harmy,
Thats me finished with the General scene, I didn't really see anything wrong with the original scene, changing the General to a hologram is really stepping into Lucas' territory; changing scenes just because we can!!...but I had started mucking so I finished it.
The thing that appears in most of the SW movies even the prequels are Kenny Baker's Copex socks, which were used to disguise the fact that he was in the suit.
It would require a bit of work to remove them.

As inspired by Vaderios, another instalment of the soap opera.

I'd be interested in seeing it!

Although there have been some interesting ideas i will be sticking with a hologram of Vader.
Cool enough. After seeing the various mock-ups, I think the one that would fit the best while retaining the original concept would be the Vader head (as opposed to full body). Regardless, still patiently awaiting the release to see what surprises you have in store.
I still prefer the original full body shot of vader but obviously when they filmed the scene the shot wasn't lit right and some of the green/blue-screen reflected onto Vaders helmet. When they keyed out the green/blue-screen the resulting hologram image of Vader looks like he has a squashed head.
If Ady was able to get fresh footage I think that is all that is needed, Bingo's mock-up of the head is a good idea but from that angle it looks a bit like the Black Knight from Monty Python's Holy Grail.
J
AE is the industry standard, it is better to get familiar with it.......but Motion is....its like my own limb.... I feel alien with AE....give Motion a go.
J
Yeah I opened Color........................... and closed it!
I do use AE....but I find Motion easier (I should get commission) although you have to keep on saving (when Motion crashes you can't recover anything, same as FC)
J
Hi Avatar, I must say you have done an excellent job.
Your masking and editing is excellent, the only thing that lets the video down is the sound & hologram effects, but overall.....very well done....it sells it!!
J
brash_stryker, I use Apple Motion for any videos I make, and the standard colouring that comes with it, I do have Magic Bullet but I still go back to Apple standard.
Have you thought of duplicating your layers and creating masks for them, ie: bottom layer has been recoloured with your overall new colour scheme, higher layer is a mask of Jangos blue part of his helmet recoloured rust.....it does require time spent keyframing.....but does look effective.
Maybe you've tried this?!
J
Nice 1 EyeShotFirst!!
If Ady were to use a heads-up-display, Veers' part of the scene would need cut as he looks down for his part of the conversation.
J
The Vader footage is masked from his conversation with Palps and the background is just before that scene when Piet tells Vader that Palps wants a chat, Vader marches off on the right of screen - the left of screen has various Imperials moving about.
You can actually see Vaders cloak exiting on right of screen - forgot to mask:(
J
And thanks Mr Ripplin
But what has Ady done, Angel remembers a mention that he's fixed it!!??
J
Thanks ray_afraid,
J
Thanks Avatar, Angels artwork always brings me out of retirement!!
I'm also tinkering with the General's Hologram
J
Veers looks down to converse
J
Yeah I would prefer a hologram also, Monroville had said on the page previous:
Is there the possibility of just replacing the shot with Vader on a viewscreen? When you think about it, it is rather silly to have a smurf-sized Vader (or anyone) on what looks like a cigarette plug-in hologram add-on...
It's hard to find footage of Vader in that sort of pose at that angle, anyone know anybody with a Vader suit?...come to think of it, my son has one.

OK this is the last I'll do of this topic (you are all probably fed up with this) & as Angel has hinted at, perhaps Adywan has already addressed this scene (dunno??!!)

I can't believe that the fans are trying to explain why force lightning reflected of Windu's saber and not Obi-Wan's, all because Lucas failed to compose a reasonable story of why Palpatine looks like a monster in ROTJ.
Lucas was too keen to reproduce craft, scenes and characters as they were 16 years later in the timeline of the OT, as I and others have said, its a shame we didn't see earlier versions of Vader & 3PO (like McQuarries designs) or Palps disguise slip when he attacked Windu & gang, only to be nice again when declaring himself Emperor in front of the senate.
Its a miracle that the Falcon didn't make more of a cameo!!
