I’ve done edits of TFA, TLJ & Solo but those were years ago and only in 720p and stereo. I’ve learnt so much since then so redoing them all after this project.
I’ve deliberately not added anymore changes inc the ending as people requested no more spoilers for this cut.
Why do people keep saying I’m on holiday? I’d do anything to make that true. Lol
Hope everyone here had a great holiday week! Quick question, is Anakin’s lightsaber still going to fizzle out before Kylo Ren begins to strike at Rey on the Death Star?
I don’t have the time or ability to finish this scene for V2 but I’m hoping it’ll get sorted in the future.
What’s your source, stereo or 5.1? The original dialogue sounds very spacious but the new words sound compressed. Does it go from stereo or mono? Hard to tell on my phone.
I like the “Captain Hux” best but you just need to add a little reverb (Not echo) to the new line and it should feel more natural. Nice job Sherlock.
Is the 30gb a Google drive link? Could please PM me if it is. Cheers dude.
Oh, HELL YEAH!!! I’m away atm but as soon as I’m back this will be the first thing I watch.
Can’t wait!!
That looks coherent and very awesome. Brilliant job fellas.
I guess the one good thing about my type of colourblindness is that I can see primary colours but red is always an issue as half tone blend to Brown, pinks or even greens sometimes so anything off red really stands out to me.
It’s a fantastic shot though. It works great.
That’s really awesome! Great work boys.
I dunno if it’s me being colourblind but the tone of each shot seems different in each. Has it been colourmatched? The Biomes sky almost looks brown to me.
I wasn’t listed in V1 or V2 😭😉
I managed to get the 720p version but it’s still beautiful. What was the source in the end? It seems too clean for a TV or LD rip.
I’m now wondering if the 4k release has upscaled the deleted scene?
^ I would have liked this comment 😉
Top comment search or thread search would be super handle too. I would help us track down older video links etc, especially as we’re closing 15,000 comments on this thread alone. 😲
Can we suggest that admin find a way to add likes to posts? There’s so much good stuff happening right now. 👍🏼
You Sir, are a hero among men.
I was obsessed with this movie as a kid, mainly for the non PC and cheeky rudeness. I haven’t seen it as an adult so it’s great to hear you’ve recreated closer to the original.
Does any of this include the deleted pig scene or any of the dialogue changes from the original or is it just the infamous 3 cut scenes? I think that was my first introduction to “deleted scenes”
That’s a shame, Poppa. I definately wasn’t suggesting reversing the original footage, did that before and the smoke look well off.
@poppa, just had a thought. Cant you just use the same flight path in reverse and flip the models 180?
@Poppa Yeah, I thought as much. Your limited time is much appreciated though, man.
I just feel that narrative speaking, anything moving left to right or back to front shows the story progressing but anything from down to back makes for a weird transition.
@jar jar Yeah, 21C Peasant did a great job but he had to use a 720p pre-rendered source from YouTube. We did our best at getting him 4k footage but the TIEs still looked a little off.
I feel it felt more natural having the TIEs coming from space and flying towards the camera, no? i.e. coming in from high to low then cut to flyover.
Poppa! That’s NUTS! Incredible work, dude.
Did this project ever get finished?
The way I saw it was, The forest becomes more dense the further away from the castle hence the other Volcanic shot I shared that Nev colour corrected to show the transition. Is that being used in this edit?
Great work, man.
It was a while ago when I sent it but I usually only work on the original colour footage. Apologies if I slipped up. A colour match LUT should help bring it back?
Just caught up on this thread. This was already one of my favorite edits but that new Han scene is coming on great. Nev did you buy those Dice in the end?
Poppa used element 3d to add the TIEs, again, I have the models if anyone has the talent?
I’ve spent months looking for someone who has any 3d skills but alas, you need after effects. I’m assuming the same models with work in blender (free) but shadows and colour correction is way more tricky in that program.
I just wrote a long response but my computer took a dump and didn’t sent.
Basically, my real life sucks but the creativity and friendliness from this site really helped me through some rough times.
Things have esculated over the post few months and I may now be losing my house and the company I built over 22 years! I’m royally screwed and I can’t do a damn thing about it as I’m basically working for free.
I can’t seem to find the escapism that once helped. This site took a turn for me (thankfully, now resolved) and now FE.org is doing the same. I hate bullies, rudeness and negativity so it’s great to see so much positivity back on this thread.
I genuinely appreciate all the friends I’ve made here, all positive comments, chats, PMs etc but even if my computer situation changed today I doubt I’ll have the time to do anything VFX work as I’m just too stressed to focus.
I’m exhausted!
Please don’t let me derail the conversation. I just wanted to explain why I can’t help as much as I have been but I’ll still dip in when I can. ✌
