hey ady, ever considered adding the lightsaber interative lightinglike vaderios example

 This is so cool! I have seen other saber-on-face effects for luke in Cloud City but this one really sells it! As always Adywan will give the final word but this truly lives up to the hype....amazing

adywan said:

yeh it would mean scrapping the whole exterior scenes which i don't want to do.  there's also another issue when you see the corridor view that is outside the door that Lando & Chewie enters

as you can see there is another apartment entrance  next to leias and the window she is looking out of would actually be looking into the next door apartment. What a mess. i hate continuity issues...lol

so it needs a new matte that shows a smaller window and a matching one next to leias to help fix this issue to make the building look larger that it does at present

 

either that or just leave everything as it is which i'm more in favour of now.lol

 

 

 Ady you just proved what I said in my previous post and what DoubleOfive nailed just a moment ago. The mattes don't add up, in Star Wars that doesn't seem to be an issue of concern (continuity issues) otherwise just try to make spacial sense of the Falcon's interior and exterior....

adywan said:

i'm surprised no one has mentioned this yet. where has the window that Leia looks out of gone? surely there should be a window instead of a corridor there?

but thats going to be hell, if not impossible, to fix so i may just leave this

 Haha Ady just proved that we were so focused at "barking at the wrong tree" with the lightning issue that we missed this little bit by a mile! and what's being said about Chewie using a door that would lead to thin air is a common mistake in Star Wars I think....doors just open....like in the duel in the abyss....there's no architecture there to support that fight....

Well, that ends that discussion pretty quickly. Lol. It's amazing what some good color correction can do to a scene. Thanks for the screencaps, Ady.

 You hit it right in the head Siliconmaster482...Ady just solved that argument "with one swift stroke" hehe.

You think it isn't really that bright? is there someone that can pull a screencap from the following scene, from Leia's POV? because I remember it was pretty darn bright.....

vaderios said:

I agree with the reflection. It adds more definition to the window.

Go for it

-Angel

if the reflection is done in the window as it is it would be correct, because there is no reason for the inside to be darker due to what I explained above. The window could be as bright as it is, and hence the reflection would be very blurry and with low opacity.

Monroville said:

I think this could work out well; it would be one of the simplest changes and would help the window and building stand out better.

I think we are forgetting the room in which Leia is has a glass roof and hence such a spectacular lightning would be posible for a glass roof, it's not just sun-roof, it's huge, you can see it in the next scene from the inside, the whle roof has glass with sun pouring in....let's not forget that....

almost completely undoing the terrible choice of Anakin not recognizing that he could have kids at all even though he's been calling him "Skywalker" all movie.

Yeah, but to me "Skywalker" is the Star Wars equivalent to "Jones" or "Smith" in the US.  Who knows how many Skywalkers are running around in that universe? 

Of course "hiding" Luke away from Vader by giving him to Vader's step-brother and keeping the "Skywalker" name wasn't too smart in the beginning, but what're you going to do? :)

I always had the idea that Skywalker was a pretty uncommon name in that universe, maybe because of the connotation of the "one that will bring balance to the Force", imagine if someone said "a Smith will bring balance to this country(US)" the search would be mute, but if you are going with a pretty uncommon last name is sort of like less candidates to fullfill that prophecy (which by the way the prophecy was known only to Jedi and Sith)

I was checking the uploaded bits found in the first page, and maybe this has been mentioned before but it appears the wampa scene has been deleted altogether. Now I don't care much about the furball but the important revelation of Luke "relaxing into the force" to force-pull the lightsaber to show how intuitively he is learning to use the Force is lost, and also more important than anything is the "Luke, you must go to the Dagobah system"....without this order you never know why would Luke go separate ways than the rest of the alliance...it creates a plot-hole

That particular clip was a selection of changed shots, not a full segment.  No worries.  He's just cutting the Special Edition Wampa parts.

 Oh....Ok.....sorry if I came off old-news-y (is that a word?) but I'm still catching up...thanx 005.

You have been gone a while.  Check out ION CANNON from the front page.  And be sure to check out the new screenshots up there.

You hit it right in the head man.....been a while, however I'm trying to catch up as fast as I can, I jumped straight to where I left and reading the last updates too, but still.....Been seening a lot of cool stuff too. Hahahahahaha just downloaded the video (thanks for the link!) hahaha Ady you "are on the jazz" again...it looks great, among the updates I noticed is SD expanded window, improved ION CANNON, more ships around Hoth, a great fire exchange during the escape and the fantastic jump to hyperspace at the end.....this is gonna be great!

adywan said:

damn, i don't want to even think about the DVD structure yet. I'm only half way through the film. lol

 

hahahaha yeah, it must be a pain to think about things so far ahead. You mention that you are halfway throught the film does that mean that the Rebel Escape from Hoth will receive any updates? as of now there are shots where it seems there's only one SD around the planet and supposedly the entire fleet was around Hoth....hence Luke escapes so easily, when he leaves you don't see any ships there!

vaderios said:

Well this took me a while... working 1080p is fun :P

We can see the establishing shot that a X-wing is landed an R2 unit aproach the door and next shot luke its inside the building and R2 enters from behind.

Hi guys, I've been away like forever and I'm sorry, I was just catching up on ESB-R and came upon this! I know Ady won't be using it and someone said it could be used in the menu screen (great idea to avoid throwing a GREAT matte btw) but I must ask, where did you get a 1080 pic like that? even for wallpaper-ing purposes this is just stunning!!!!
