Movies Remastered

An insane star wars 3d modeller https://youtu.be/WA8bhGaX7yg

Rey is a nobody in my cut so I feel her connection to her parents can remain pure. I do wanna change the fact they “sold her” though. That part doesn’t sound like caring parents, IMO.

Ochi’s ship can be changed but you’ll have to find a 3d model online of what you’re looking for. To build a new ship from scratch would take way too long for such a short clip. Maybe message Howard Day on YouTube?

There’s a lot of ideas going around but how would they actually be executed with the footage we have? I’d be interested to see any mock-ups.

End Saber Sparks are finished. I’m just tweaking the sound.

T minus 5 is also finished.

Crackling Saber is on hold as the effect in the cave scene took so much time to get right but I think I’ve sorted it but I’m currently moving studios so I’ve had to pack up all my computer stuff. I should be back on things by next week but I still have my phone to check here in the meantime.

Me too! The final lap is always the toughest though. The finishing line is in sight… 😃

I think the trouble is trying to determine what a malfunctioning saber looks like, since there aren’t many examples of that.

Well, there is this one part in the Rebels TV show… >.>

Thanks dude. That’s a great help! I just need to figure out how I can achieve that effect.

We’ll according to Disney, Rey has her finger on the “on button” so the shaking is the on switch malfunctioning. Obviously I’ll tweak to motion and timing a little better. I just tried to give a rough scene concept to show what I’m trying to achieve.

Yeah, this conversation has been over three threads now and everyone seems to agree about the flickering. Ive cut the scene fairly heavily and taken Finn out completely so finding the right time to add the effect will be a little tricky. I’m trying to add it around the time Rey hurts her hand but We’ll see as this clip progresses…

Thanks man. This edition is coming on amazingly. Extremely time consuming but the test clips are epic. I can’t wait to see this added to the final cut.

My first thought would be, If the deleted scene of Rey running to the village is added to TLJ would that be considered “lesson 3”?

I also like how Luke interrupts Rey. It matches Luke’s attitude in TLJ. I also like 4.

I think this could go somewhere. Great work, dude.

P.S. I cut the “It was fear that kept me here”. line from Luke as I felt it contradicted the “Fear is the destiny of a Jedi” line.

The full line is actually, “Confronting your fears is the destiny of a Jedi.”

Really? https://youtu.be/RUio_AkadFE

Yeah, I’ve just tried a few scenes and it wasn’t happy at all. So glad it lets you preview each frame as it goes. I could’ve waited a lot of wait time.

I thought they got the chemistry wrong with so many characters in TROS but none worse the Lando & Jannah *shudder. I’m currently planning to roto that scene and put Lando at Leia’s bedside so they’re actually in a scene together.

Agree with no spark out on DSII, That should only happen after the battle. I’m trying to build suspense after Rey’s Saber switches off when she flips and then she struggles to turn it back on as Kylo draws closer.

Yeah, I’ve lost track of which thread this was previously brainstormed in but those scenes are perfect for some tweaking. If anyone else would like to help I’d appreciate it.

Utterly Crude clip but just showing you timing and an extremely rough composition for the next spark scene I’m working on. https://originaltrilogy.com/post/id/1416513/action/topic#1416513

Yeah, I don’t wanna use sparks in this scene. I just wanna show that Rey’s battle with Kylo wasn’t fairly matched as her crystal was far more broken than Kylos.

Seeing so many people are asking for a follow-up of the sparking Saber effect I uploaded earlier here is a very crude version of the malfunctioning Saber clip I’ll be making in the battle on the Death Star II. Ignore everything other than timing. I’ll obviously properly rotoscope Rey, the Saber effect and pretty much everything in this scene but this is just a mock-up to show people the direction I’m thinking… https://youtu.be/z7Xrve_sWCI

Ive had a few people in the past tey using Ebsynth, I’ve got another guy trying with masking atm but if he isn’t able to I’ll have to hand paint each frame which will take forever!!! But that’s basically what I’m doing with every scene from this point so… 🤣

Think there are a few picture on MR Instagram page.

Leia doesn’t die until right at the end of my cut so Poe’s grey shirt needs to be orange to make it look like his jumpsuit as he comes straight from winning the battle to Leia’s bed side.

I agree, let me see what I can do with opacity and maybe working up gradually to having that shot be just a little bit lighter.

I’ll try to do another pass tonight.

Guys, this scene will become the philosophical meaning of the movie’s tittle… the RISE (of the sun) of Skywalker

Wasn’t that the whole reason Rey had the binary sun rise on her face at the end of TROS?

While we’re on the subject. Does anyone know how to pan audio using keyframes in Premiere? I’ve done it before but completely forgotten.

That’s a good idea about it dimming or flickering. That’ll be much easier to execute.

I’m not sure I understand but off the top of my head…

Luke’s Crackling Saber throughout the movie.

Palpatines Red Sith lightning.

Removing kylo from the desert scene.

5 new planet scenes.

Finishing Palpatines message scene.

Final 3 end clips that are proving to be more complicated that I’d hoped.

Changing Poes shirt to a jumpsuit orange for end sequence.

Potentially having Lando at Leia’s death bed to replace his weird scene with Jannah.

Malfunctioning Saber effect on death star II.

Maybe a new opening scene with star destroyer heading to Mustafar.

Composition shot of Star Destroyers attacking Coruscant.

Shooting new scene of Ben holding Han’s dice.

Maybe shoot a new scene of Rey building her own Saber (Covid stopped filming)

Removing Luke’s hair blowing in the wind.

Exactly! I think doing it too many times would be unnecessary. Just a quick scene to indicate there is something wrong. I Feel sound will play a big part in that clip as well though.

Those are similar to where we thought on the redux thread but the touble is, it’s a nightmare to remove the Saber glow from most of the fight scene because of how it reflects in the enviroment and the pattern of the rain fall. It’s why I was going to create a completely new shot just after she does the flip. It gives me around 4 seconds of her trying to reignite the Saber before Kylo enters the scene. It’s more how it should malfunction at this point I.e. spark? Half ignite? Have various energy type flickers or just quickly turn on and off a few times as she struggles pressing the “on switch”?

To address something from MR’s thread, I hadn’t really planned on using his clip of added sparks to the sabers at the end of Exegol. But, the final product looks fantastic!

Please include this! It makes Rey burying them at the end make so much more sense. They served their purpose and now she has her own path. If we really want to try something cool… when Rey ignites her saber there is a green and blue color during the ignition. Can the green be recolored to purple? Implying both sabers broke and Rey used the Kyber Crystals to make her own lightsaber with them would help sell Rey Skywalker more, at least for me.

Before Covid hit I did plan to shoot a new scene where Rey builds her Saber much like Luke’s deleted scene from OT and have her merge both Luke & Leia’s Krystals to make her colour, which would’ve been a pinky violet.

MR, do you plan to add Rey’s saber crapping out on her at the end of the DSII duel? If so, that seems like a natural buildup to this moment. Also, have you done an audio component to this change?

Thanks. I Have, it took me ages to view a bunch of different sounds but I went with welders sparks in the end. I still need to deepen and delay the sound to match the echo of that clip though.

Yes, I intend to use the clip from the desert before she jumps Kylos ship. I’ve removed that scene so it should work well. Just trying to finish other clips before starting more. I’ll post some test shots when I do them. Would be good to get some ideas of how it should malfunction at that moment?

Cheers guys. Is there any scenes you wanna see next?

@JARBEAR you changed your tag quote 🤣🤣🤣 PalpaWalker gets me every time!! LMFAO
