I’ve given this one more try with the image we have. I trimmed the mask back as hard as I could, retracked the movement, and added a smoke effect to match what’s there.

Let me know if the contrast is better?

Nice job MR!

In terms of blending the castle with the rest of the environment, this is the best pass yet! 👍

However, I’m not sure if this is just me, but it seems like the tracking on your second pass was a bit more precise, since closer to the end of this shot the castle seems to become a little floaty. Should be an easy fix though!

Keep up the good work!

I’ve tried several tracking points and I just can’t seem to fix those last few frames. It’s really frustrating but this is only my second project in After Effects so I’d appreciate any advice on how to make it better?

@ziggyonice I’m with you. It’s only 30 years between movies so unless there is an attack or story behind the ruins, that’s still canon I’m not sure it’s worth it but I’m happy to see what @MagMaxx comes up with. Glad you like the clip.

Thanks, @Jar Jar Bricks I appreciate that and agree with you. If it’s too beaten i.e. one of the turrets is broken off etc I think people would miss the point of it being Vaders Castle

@Cinefy, Kewlfish, and I worked on that scene months ago but we felt it was too dark compared to the follow-up shot and had some ghosting content fill as the ship got closer. If anyone knows Element 3D to add the Tie Fighters, I’d give it another try. Maybe @skenera could brighten it up and make it more fitting?

If you can provide images of the castle in ruins I’d be happy to try it but right now we are really limited on good stock photos and footage for it to be done without someone recreating it in 3d.

Yeah, you’re right. As soon as I start messing with the saturation the sky pops too much.

I’ve looks for a suitable replacement but the original comp image would be great if anyone has it?

Jonh!!! You’ve been missed, dude.

Yeah, I had to stretch it to fit. If anyone can get my the original I can try to make it smoother. Was it found or done by someone on here?

Thanks for the colour advise. I can only see primary colours so I’m literally flying blind. Lol

I didn’t have the effects & presets option ticked. This is a game-changer. 😃 What grain settings do you use?

Here’s a second pass

Looking at it now, Maybe the trees should be roto’d but that’s a little out my league for now.

Yeah man, It’s taking hours just to render short clips. I’ve no idea what’s going on with my computer. I’m hopefully gonna buy a new Mac once I’m allowed to work again.

That would be great!

Thanks man. I thought the tracking was a little floaty but you know what I’m like haha!

I just used the still provided for now. I don’t think the trees need to be roto’d but I’ve not used any contrasting in AF yet. Where’s the option? I actually thought it was a little too blurry compared to the original so it’s good you think it’s not blurry enough.

Appreciate the feedback. Big help.

The colouration and shaping of that still shot was a little off. If someone can correct that I think it will blend more.

My only issue is being colourblind and not getting the contrast right. If someone can provide a highres image with that done I’ll take a run at the rest. 👍🏼

Rey and Finn Vs Kylo Force Awakens (Fan Edit) ROUGH CUT edited by me: https://vimeo.com/496352932 password: ReyVKylo
The video that i was inspired by:
https://youtu.be/4yZYRQrk9eQ
this is my version of the fight, kylo is a threatening villain and rey is a force user with great potential (I’m sorry if it’s bad, this is my first fan edit)

You did great! I really like the idea of Rey opening the ground with the force.

I did eliminate the first ground opening behind her as she later just runs off where the hope should be. Think that’s a continuety error in the original.

I can’t believe you did that on a phone. Well done.

Yep Vaders castles a must…

Did you do this? If you lay up the colour, I’ll give the tracking a go if you’d like.

You can still see a scar on specifically his neck.

There’s no scar on that original clip. We added it in.

Oh nice, I didn’t know you were collaborating with other members of these forums. I really liked your Kylo’s scar heal edit, will you be making your shots available for other editors to use in their own edits, like Hal’s TROS Ascendent?

Kylo’s scar heal edit? I must have missed that. Does anyone have a link to it?

Here’s an early pass. It took a few more to get right. https://youtu.be/GyF5ggzFuZg

Absolutely! I’ve been doing loads of work with other editors this past year but prefer to DM. I got annoyed at people using my edits without crediting the people who created them so I’m now only sharing finished scenes once my cut is released (which is hopefully soon)…

Thanks, I really enjoy collabs.

Ahhh. Kewlfish started it but in his absense Luka Frik has been working on some scenes. It’s looking pretty good.

The audio? I uses Kylos SFX, imported it into audition and played around with the pitch and frequencies.

I thought a slower, less agressive tone with a higher pitch would suit it well. What did you think?

Oh, Really? I’d be interested to see those results.

I’d really like to release this in 4k but I’m not sure my computer can handle it. I’ve been having some serious rendering time issues.

Thought I’d test a bunch of stuff out with a trailer.

I understand. It was just an emotional trailer I’ve been working on for a while using night effects, an animated logo and test audio for the crackling saber. It was just a joke, that’s all.

I was just being sarcastic, dude. No need to be negative.

Come on, don’t drag that stupid drama here. Pablo already clarified on Twitter and apologised. No need for the “fans” to bully another Lucasfilm creative into leaving the company (except of course, for all the glorious clicks and ad revenue it can bring!).

I didn’t see any apology? I’m not sure how you’re seeing a negative in this.

Also, my channel isn’t monetized.
