Originally posted by: ocpmovieMultiscreen? Sounds like a messy way to go. Rather than trying to follow the entire film shot by shot this time, compile your clips and let their rhythm dictate your work rather than letting the rhythm of the film dictate it. You can always repeat audio, use alternate audio and music, and let the sequence play out as longer or shorter depending on what you do.
Yep, your're right, it can get very messy. After some experimentation I realise that it only works on certain clips. I really want these projects to be visual commentaries, I don't want them to end up as 3 hour epics. I take your point on using the rythm of the clips and letting that dictate the flow. It's all a learning curve and I tend to speak out on what I intend to do before I actually figure out that it's a bad idea. I think I am just going to knuckle down and get on with this.
By the way, I've just figured out that the clip seen in the end credits of Empire of Dreams, of R2-D2 cleaning Luke's X-wing, is from Return of the Jedi. I thought it was from Empire, but in the establishing shot of Dagobah, you can see a wide angle of R2 doing just that!
Well done for figuring that out. I will have to take a look... Wow! You're right. I have seen Jedi so many times and I have never noticed that!
To blur a portion of an image, you create a duplicate of the image and place it over itself. You blur one of them and crop it, with a feather around the edge
I managed to figure it out earlier, thanks! Logical really!
The trailers will give you a few alternate angles, including Luke saying "Is Darth Vader my father?"
