Yes, thank you, that’s it.

Movies Remastered, would you be able to finish that by doing the DVD and BR cover variants?

I’ve just got two new contract for work so I’m a little short of free time for the next month but if you PM me these links or the dimension I’ll try to finish when I can.

Also if you have the image idea, blurb or text you want on the back that would help.

My Vader mask scene is the opening act so I managed to have the Tie Fighter passing sound fade out while I slowly faded in the mask reveal. I think the same thing will work for your edit.

Nice work @idr_hh @Cinefy, I’m still looking for around 12 seconds of new planet scenes if anyone has any WIP?

Hal, Trying to view the new workprint but it won’t let me preview or download. Could that be you or something I’ve done?

To Movies Remastered or anyone interested,

Thanks, Man. Not sure if you saw my update video on this scene but I re-edited a lot of it too. I really like the castle addition in your version. I’ve actually just found some new footage I’m going to play around with and try to get the castle in at another angle. I chose to cut the extra lava scenes as I left they didn’t really fit in with the other footage as well.

I’m always open to seeing other people’s ideas and vision though, so please let me know if you have any other scenes on the working.

Really good work on this version. Vast improvement from the last one I saw.

Bear in mind I was only able to stream it in stereo, here are a few changes I would suggest…

Overall volume was really quiet. My Mac was maxed out but still quiet.

Last section of the crawl text seems to change speed before the fade?

Weird orchestral stab just before we see vaders mask. I managed to mute the score and fade in the sound fx to make it a smoother transition.

There’s a jarring cut between both shots of everyone running in the desert.

Kylo Rens voice fx on “you were right” sounds a little tinny and heavy ringing compared to the original audio.

LOVED THE 3PO LINES ❤

I’m not sure if Lucas did it but I usually use a directional wipe between scenes so the clip from Finn or Ewoks would go in the direction as the falcon, maybe?

LUT on “Endor” seems to overly wash out the sky.

KoR used the “traitor” clip twice.

Very minor changes but not to detract from the huge amount of work everyone has put in on this project. Firm handshakes all round. 👏

I do, too. I PM’d him about a week ago and haven’t gotten anything. I do hope to see a return from him, but obviously it’ll depend on that.

Me too. I hope he’s ok. We seem to have lost a few people during quarantine which is a real shame.

I hope Snooker is ok too.

Looking forward to you next workprint. I was gonna watch your current one tonight but I’ll wait.

I actually wanted to film a Rey building her Saber scene and have her merge Luke and Leia’s kyber crystals to make her own colour but couldn’t decide on with mix would work best.

Being colourblind tjat whole scene is a nightmare for me to edit. I’m really debating whether I should use the purple lightsaber scene, because I can’t see the colour haha.

For some reason the Gray LUT really allows me to see so much more detail and depth within those scene so I definately think a more natural post Palp pallet could be used. Thanks for you feedback.

I’m also going for the Gray look for Exegol but was thinking of restoring the colour after Palptines death, kinda showing the dark side was stripping all light and colour from Exegol. What are your thoughts on this idea?

I think that could be a cool idea, but if it’s only restored to blue, I don’t know how much you’ll feel the impact of that. The blue almost feels less natural to me, I feel like the blue fading into more natural stone colours, be that the grey or into warmer tones, would give that effect more. Even if you start with grey and go into warmer natural stone colours. Blue is the least natural for stone or nature though, to the point that it’s wondered if humans could even see the colour blue for most of history.

Yeah, I’m trying to avoid the original colour but bring back a more suitable tint. Watching the scene back in thinking of doing after Rey’s resurrection instead, kinda representing the balance returning maybe?

I’m working on changing a lot of elements for the Exegol scenes. Red lightning is one of them.

Did anyone post this already? https://youtu.be/E83szTzwXYM

Good luck, man. I can empathize with the frustration.

Regardless of the technical set back, how far are you from completion? What’s the up to date workprint number?

Does the SSD power on but just doesn’t read? I think formatting could be a good start. Are you upgrading to high Sierra? I’ve just had a nightnare trying yo find links to it as I think Apple has hidden it from app store. Sierra screwed up my computer and made it incredibly slow.

Well damn, this was at 5000 comments last time I was here.

I’ve no idea where you’re at with this edit now but did snooker return

Snooker has sadly decided to leave the forum.

OH NO!!! She will be sadly missed. Such a talent. 😔

I’ve no idea where you’re at with this edit now but did snooker return and did you get the Naboo scene finished? I can help if not.

I’m slowly getting back on my feet so if I can help let me know.

Yep, we got it, but thanks!

And it seems like I’m going to need to order an NVMe usb enclosure since my Mac isn’t seeing the new SSD at all. The internet suggests I can format it and install my OS using an enclosure before installing it into the machine itself. So that’ll probably add a week waiting for that.

No worries, man.

I wish i lived closer. I just had to do the sane with my Mac. I hope you didn’t get a 2011-13 model? Mine fried itself but to bad solder in those machines motherboards.

Thanks. I actually lost the whole project about a month ago but managed to finally recovery the files a few days ago. I’m now only 6 fx scenes away from completion but I can’t find anyone with the level of skill to finish them.

Looking for someone with 3d camera tracking and element 3d skills if you know anyone?

Relieved to hear that, even if I can’t provide the help you need for the last effects.

Thanks man, I actually nearly lost my computer after messaging you last but I’m slowly getting back on top of things.

What have I missed?

How are these Lego animations better than the actual movies? Haha

Does anyone have a clip of Poe saying “this way”? I don’t know why but JJ switched the audio several times in TROS and replaced it with “follow me!”

Isn’t there one in the Lego game?

I’m not a gamer. I’ve gone through a bunch of youtube videos but havent even found anything close. Is there a way of getting the audio or a clip?

Kewlfish, I’m trying to catch up but I think some people are requesting the central wave Saber effect that you accidently did when Finn was holding the Saber in the cave on the last few frames?

I really like the original. The alternative seems a little more pixilated rather than the actual crackle effect. (Am viewing on a phone).

I agree with adding the Saber splitting clip in a flashback.

Axios said:

Crackle saber is looking good! but small changes:

I hate to be overly picky and critical but well I guess thats why were here

0:36 I know this may be alot to ask but is there a way to make the blade less obviously uniform?

0:44 In this shot the blade looks too thick. The angle doesnt, help but the original clip survives this problem.

1:27 the end of the blade has very obvious “half opacity” spikes jutting out from the blade’s tip (I’d say be careful of just removing them alone without tweaking the sides, cause it might cause the rest of the blade to become to thick and not long enough).

1:53 there are spikes jutting out way to far from the blade at a distance.

I truly appreciate all the work you’ve put into this!

I wouldn’t be opposed to another “differently cracked” concept for the skywalker blade either, especially if its less uniform of an effect. I do like this effect too! Another option would just be interesting.

What link are you using?

I went through each frame and scene with kewlfish which he’s been working on but any mistakes with thick Saber etc were in the original.

This sounds great! I’d love to see it when you’re finished.

I’m still trying to make it work but if ruined my whole project with a corrupt source file.

Did you ever manage to recover this scene from your computer?

Hello!
Sorry for not having done anything these weeks, I have started the work and we are shooting during July and August, in September I will have more free time to finish the clips of Ben Solo Force Ghosts and Luke’s hair on the island. 😃
MTFBWY for everyone! 😃

No excuses Jonh! Forget work, your focus should clearly be on a fan edit for a bunch of Star Wars fans. Get your priorities straight! 😉

I hope that sarcasm isn’t lost in translation. 😉

Really glad you’re able to work again Jonh. Good luck with your project.
