Movies Remastered

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

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

I’ve made a breakdown video of the end scene with the sparking light sabers after the final battle.

I agree! I just feel those few early shots of Rey’s close-up need to be a little darker in the corners, and the Porg white light changed to a more orange tone to indicate the light coming from the fire and not the Sun.

Impressive… Most impressive! Nev

Really great job on the ghostly glow and tone of this shot now. I also liked the shorter “You have everything you need” cut. Your hard work is extremely appreciated, dude.

If anyone is wanting to tweak this further. Here are Luke’s haircut clips we have so far. They’re not 100% but they’re better than what is in the original. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1U92OXNv86v5SfQkJrLbg7nNYTwNwjaA-?usp=sharing

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.

This has been in the back of my mind for ages. Could it be that the water is discoloured so it changes the reflection?

I can’t imagine a way of recoloring the sand that wouldn’t also change the color of the characters’ skin.

EbSynth: Now this looks like a job for me.

Awesome! I’ve just been convinced to start using EbSynth. It looks like a lot of fun. Looking forward to seeing what you can do with it. 😃

@sherlockpotter I absolutely love your passion for this. Welcome to the party, Pal.

I think we should move this chat over to another thread but I’m interested in your ideas. Maybe continue the chat here? https://originaltrilogy.com/post/id/1415754/action/topic#1415754

Nev that is awesome! Beautiful work.

I’m mates with JX, What do you need?

I tried reworking JX’s 'third lesson audio and we talked about it a long time ago, shared it in here and everyone decided against using it.

That’s a shame. Nice to see you posting dude. It’s been a while.

Nev that is awesome! Beautiful work.

I’m mates with JX, What do you need?

That’s a nice idea. 👍🏼

I actually really like lesson 3. It shows Luke’s isolation is making him cynical and selfish. It’s like Rey gave him a wakeup call at this moment. https://youtu.be/-He5_RtDE1o

That surprised me to.

I just found out a number of parents had an issue with “3PO, move your metal ass!” I did find that a little harsh for a kids movie so I’ve changed it to “3PO, NOW!”. Let me know if you wanna use it?

Wow! That first glow looks perfect. The second one looks like an inner glow rather than an outer, which glow effect are you using?

This may help https://youtu.be/SeZ7Cidl-00

Idk man, when you were younger did you ever have that one guy in your friend group that nobody really was that close with, but they thought you guys were super close?

Yes, except that one guy was me. 😕

Me too! I think that’s why I’ve got an issue with it.

Hal, Exactly!

I like the idea of the metaphorical/physical “dark place” and things progressively getting lighter as she comes to terms with reality. It’s like poetry.

Or maybe I feel the younger characters haven’t earnt the right to treat him like crap. I Dunno, it makes me uncomfortable so I made 3PO a bit of a Dick to Poe so he at least earns it a bit. 🤣

Who added in the TIE fighters into that shot for the Mustafar scene? 😉

Other than Poppa’s addition, the others were done with preset green screen layers. I’m still on the hunt for another element 3d or blender user. I have the models if someone has the time?

Han & 3PO had great humour in the OT but the sequels felt like old Dad jokes that are awkward. I really don’t like how the new team bully 3PO either. They got the chemistry all wrong. I feel particularly bad for 3PO in the cave. He completely gets ignored, at least the OT had interaction with him. The who “my friends” line in TROS isn’t earned at ALL!

Its progressing really nicely Nev, really nicely.

I’m thinking the Luke by the Log stuff is going to be the pain in the butt to work with since is glowing is different affected by the original shot’s day time coloring/brightness.

You have no idea. Luke has basically no glow in the original due to the high-key lighting, so practically all of his brightness now is due to roto work. Same thing with Rey’s hood. Luckily the scene just short enough that after working on it, I still have some sanity left. Barely 😉

If you’ve already roto’d it have you thought about adding a glow effect to that layer and removing the feather?

I did think about doing a binary moon in an earlier scene. Thought we haven’t really seen that.

I like the idea but I’m not sure it needs a flashback at that point of the conversation. Giving Jannah a little more depth would’ve been nice though.

@Brewzter I’m not sure she can be there much longer than a few hours according to the time limit of the movie? Making it feel like she’s there overnight allows that scene not to feel rushed.

@NeverarGreat Is it worth having the first segment of the scene almost dark grey/black to show more passing of time? Really nice work on the Roto, Maybe motion track the closeup of Luke so the glow matches his movement? I like where this is going.
