Kevinicus, I really want to see your's, but I also want to see a version that has the twins removed (as much as possible).

I mentioned in the thread for my edit that I am considering doing a second version of my edit that removes some of the Twins for those who are that against the Twins.  It would be a movie only version (maybe a VERY VERY basic default menu).

If it's on a DVD? I'd get it!

In regards to Vaderios' mock-up on the right, taking into account ImpFighter's preference for seeing the tower (which I can see too, so the Executor doesn't look like a flying arrow) the other thing that can be done is slim down the brighter underbelly area of the Executor to match the angle and perspective of the surrounding SDs.

I would love to see the model they used for this shot, much less to see someone do a drawing or mock-up of how the Executor would look from a front "dead-on" angle.

Something like this?



you may not be able to tell too well from how small the shot is, but here is a perspective image:



there are a lot of odd things going on here:
(1) the tower alignment doesn't match the hull alignment
(2) even the area underneath the Executor is wierd; if you look at the unmolested picture, the extension underneath is not symmetrical on either side
(3) the back tip does not quite make a straight line to the nose - it's as if the area leading to the underbelly extension dips INTO the hull.

Who says all the ships fly at the same angle in space (major brain bug).


Also, the Executor is a different type of ship than the ISDs. Who says it needs to look the same in profile or whatever? The main point is to see how massive it is in relation to the other ships. They're using a physical model, so why would it be "wrong"?

TRANSFORMERS: MORE THAN MEETS THE EYE - (Released)
Time

It'll be cool to see how each of your treatments of the material end up. Man I love the fan editing community!


I'm no editor, but TF2 felt far more like a "workprint" to me than the first movie, like if you just trimmed a lot of the stuff it would be a watchable movie (though still a "dumb popcorn movie" in the end).

 

So yeah, sorry about that. I didn't think the masturbation scene worked for me, but my friend (who is twenty years older than me) thought it was a laugh riot. It's like the last possible thing they could be talking about/doing showing the mom is completely clueless (and Sam has no dignity left). Some of those jokes work a little the first time you see it to get a few cheap laughs from the audience, but just don't hold up well on repeated viewings.

Nobody wants to do it?

 

It's been a slow process thus far.  Though I may have it uploaded by tonight.

Awesome, where at?

 

I see TF2 is out on DVD today.

 

On Megaupload.  It was uploaded but got deleted by accident trying to move it into a folder.  It's almost uploaded again, a few more hours and it'll be done.  I think someone else will get it more readily available for others to view.  I still need to upload the HD version (movie only).

 

Already have the Blu-ray for ROTF, and will possibly start editing this evening.

 

What's the link? (you can PM it to me if you don't want to post here). Keep in mind though I don't have Blu-Ray or a PS3...

I'm surprised Lucas didn't have Palpatine deliver the message in person just so he could add another ship landing sequence (I wouldn't be surprised if we saw Palpatine landing at the Senate to disband it in person in ANH: SE SE too).

Lucas does love his ship landing sequences!

Why do you need Windows XP?  I have Mac OS X (Leopard), and when they first added the "instant streaming" on Netflix I couldn't use it, but a couple months later they added OS X support.  I'd try it out just to make sure - maybe you can use it now.

Of course, you have to have a Netflix account.

I have win2kpro and I use firefox. I couldn't use the Netflix streaming feature when I had it (granted, it was over a year ago) unless I used another computer with that setup.
