Recreating the crawling text..

Two questions that come to mind.

1) Shouldn't "darkside" be two words? That's how it is throught the scripts and screenplays.

2) I was under the impression that Padme has been voted into office, so having her "transfer" her title to a new queen sounds odd (this isn't a biggie, but it just sounds funny to me.)

[EDIT] Rebel Scumb, PM me your e-mail address so I can send it to you.

The Skywalker Legacy (working title) (* unfinished project *)

"I always thought you could turn the six episode saga into three episodes, by taking each episode of the OT, intercut flashbacks from the Prequels (Godfather II style), telling Luke's story and Anakin's story simultaneously, and depending on what you reveal and when you reveal it, you never have to lose any of the surprises (Vader as father, Leia as sister, etc.). This is great because you only keep the good parts of the Prequels and don't have to deal with Jar-Jar or anything else you don't want to."

That's an outstanding idea! Then you could focus on the "meat" of the PT, and get rid of the fluff.

Info: a Crazy Six Split Screen Preservation of the OT
Time
It's not that difficult. Just put each of the videos on separate tracks in your NLE, and resize them so that all six fit on one screen. I could do this in a weekend.

This would be something fun to do at a later date - when I've had a chance to wipe some stuff off my hard drive. At the very least, I would sync up the first frame of "Star Wars" from the crawl.

"Will it be compositied on the starfield or will I have to do that? Its going into finalcut so it will have to be an .MOV, but I can convert to that using compressor if need be."

Choice is yours. I can put it on a black or "greenscreen" background, and you can key it out for your own background (recommended). If not, then which starfield did you have in mind?

I've not tried making a .mov file before, but it should be okay. Vegas does carry that option.
