Movies Remastered

I’ve also noticed brightness differences between the Luke shots, here is how I would reduce them: after the LUT is applied, add a Levels effect for the first and the second shot, set the gamma to 90 for the first shot and make a transition from 110 to 95 for the second shot.

I wasn’t sure what LUT was? Is it another program or an effect?

Not sure what the shots seem different, they’re the same shot. I’ve been playing the the last 2 shots with “the moon” and I think I’ve improved them slightly after splitting them with different colour effects. Still tricky being colourblind though.

Just as a show of what I can do, I’m currently working on giving the Knights of Ren voices, here’s my first attempt at recreating their vocal sound based off the grunts when Ben kills them. (Once we’ve pinned down the lines we want, we’ll need three other voices to join mine for this project if anyone’s interested!)

That’s a lot of fun. Great work!

I’ve just uploaded an explanation of the new Luke & Leia farewell scene I’m working on. I’ve managed to do some day to night changes but they’re not perfect. Here’s the link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=okRkvSm4xdw

I think it’s more the fact that the dark side is more controlling of people’s emotions, a bit like being possessed so it’s against anyone’s control once you let it in. Rey saying “Ben” is like his return or exorcism in away. That’s how I see it anyway.

This version is better https://youtu.be/3J-etn7LP7k

Seems like they have a new edition arriving in 5 hours… 🤞

Something like this combined with Poppa’s falcon ending could work for a Ben lives edit.

That’s really similar to what I’m trying to do. If you know anyone that can help please let me know.

Bit too much lenses flare imo.

Hal,

I’m gonna be working on some new tutorial videos over the next few days and probably goto my other house to upload them. Are there any early scenes you’d like to see of my cuts? I’ll try to do them at the sane time.

I will second this. I too have gotten his permission to use his music,“Battle of the Heroes and Duel of the Fates” in my case for the same scene, although I haven’t attempted to put it in yet.

I’m still having trouble navigating this site but if you ever upload that scene with Samuels score please let me know. I did a very tight edit on that scene so the music queues were off.

Hi everyone !

I’ve been watching the amazing stuff you’re all doing for some time now and I’ve finally decided to join the forum.
I’m beginning with audio mixing and here’s a rescored version of the battle of Exegol, with the rearranged version of the SW main theme by Samuel Kim (I must admit I didn’t ask his permission to use his stuff but we’ll probably have to if someone wanted to implement this in its edit) :

pw: fanedit

It’s still a little rough so please let me know about any possible improvement.

That’s a really nice job. I think you slightly lose a bit of sound quality in places. High frequencies get a little ringy so may be try to bring them down or low end up?

Samuel Kim’s work is amazing. He’s just given me permission to use some of his work. I wanted to use his duel of the fate on Kylo & Rey duel just it doesn’t fit with my cut. I hope someone else can work it in somewhere…

Hal 9000 said:

Thank you! I knew someone nailed it, thanks for that.

I really glad you’re inspired by my cuts. Try not to burn yourself out mate. I did that last week and it’s not worth it.

This was kinda cool the first time I saw it, but it’s really busy. I love the subtlety to jonh’s ghosts more and that they stay there to fight rather than just possess Rey.

I liked the idea behind that. The first scene was pretty much what I was going for but the eye thing was a little Marvel for me.

jonh said:

I personally would not add any more ghosts …
two on each side is perfect! 😃

My plans were to add everyone you heard the voice of but I feel you delivered an excellent scene and it works perfectly as it is.

Hal 9000 said:

Nah, let’s not open a can of worms. I like the four ghosts we see thanks to John.

I played with the audio for just a little bit this morning for the TIE escape, but haven’t found any better of a solution. Movies Remastered, how are you handling the scene? Leaving it as is, sans Klaud or something?

This is the sort of tricky audio thing that i wish I had a whole morning to work on. It’ll need it!

I’ve cut Klaud, cut all of Finns annoying Woo’s and weird blank expressions, cut Poe saying Sorry etc, Cut the oncoming TIEs as they just seemed to blast right past them anyway, and now I’ve taken out the whole lightspeed skipping so cut straight after the Falcon breaks through the wall and fixed the transition whoosh sounds with a climactic fade out.

I wish my upload speeds didn’t suck right now otherwise I’d show you 😦

idir_hh said:

I collected all the extended shots from the documentary. You’ll find it here in 1080p.
https://drive.google.com/open?id=12g6bRhWCga4VHEPc_1TZkenQAVXzxsyR

AMAZING! Thank you so much 😃

Does anyone have a 1080p version of D-0’s squeaky wheel please?

Hal 9000 said:

The audio feels pretty ugly to me; are you guys listening with earphones?

Does anyone have any sound effects laying around that could depict bursting through the ice wall, maybe some shimmer or WOOoooosh of trailing off into hyperspace? If foley can be identified the music wouldn’t be as problematic. (This is the kind of thing I’d spend an hour doing myself if I were able. Getting audio to feel right really does take patience. I may be able to at some point but I toss out my thought process in case anyone does come across something suitable.)

And kewlfish, it’s good to have you here! It’s a weird, arguably stupid thing we do around here but we… we like it. At least the 9000 saga will go out on a high note. And then I can get stabbed by Vader.

LAAAAAUUNCH

I’ve just spent the morning figuring it out! If you take the whoosh sound of the final lightspeed skip before the transition and lay it over the clip just after the wall burst, it fits perfectly for a seamless transition with sound and cut just before the TIE comes into frame. I hope that helps you fix the sound issue. I think it works great.

Hal, here’s the clip of Rey vs Palpatine pt 1 with the new homestead music removed for editors to play around with:

https://drive.google.com/open?id=1iVuC2TKugq96ud2BWuurCwhco3iX_0-W

The only thing I noticed is there’s no sound of Rey panting. Is this from the source material or Jonh’s clip?

Excellent work on removing the music perfectly though.

idir_hh said:

God with each of these videos my hate for this film grows. The pacing of this film drives me nuts!

Hopefully with the success of the Snyder Cut movement Disney may look into releasing an extended cut.

Please, Please, please let this happen or even a few hours of unused footage so we can do it ourselves! 🤣

I did a purely audio-based proof of concept for playing with and cleaning up the ‘More than a Clone, Less than a Man’ line from Ian. I can send y’all the raw files without music behind them if you want!

Nice work! Now we just need to find a line or someone who can impersonate Adam Driver’s voice to replace that really, really badly dubbed line where his arm is in front of his face

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=shYsuOWp8Es - timestamp 1:35… smh

If you watch closely most of the dialogue is delivered off camera or while peoples backs are turned. It’s not just Leia. It’s weird!

I’m just running through the whole movie again and just noticed there’s a prop change just before the Death star Duel.

When Rey says “Give it to me!” And it cuts to Kylo, the wayfinder seems much bigger than the next scene where he crushes it.

Has anyone else noticed this or an I just being too picky?

I’ve tried to edit it out but there’s not enough footage between shots.

Not sure if anyone has seen this? https://youtu.be/XHxOg6zNg9Q

I’ve been playing with my edit but the timing if off for my cut. It may work for someone else. I think it’s a great spicy balanced track of both songs.

idir_hh said:

This one’s great :https://youtu.be/owrmLeX20CY

Ahhh! Yeah, I’ve added that to TFA. Amazing work!

idir_hh said:

The Kylo Ren fan film has some great establishing shot footage of Kylo landing on star-killer base (similar colour scheme to Exogol) along with Stormtroopers.

Which one? There’s a lot of bad ones out there…

kewlfish said:

I know * a lot* of people use DigModiFicaTion’s blender tutorial… I found it difficult to use but I think that’s mainly due to noob-ness with blender and there has been some changes with Blender 2.8 but look into that if you know blender.

I’ve never used blender for 2D stuff. It seems overkill. I’ll have a look. Thanks!

How do you make your crawls? Any chance you could switch “Tros” to “The Last Hope” for me?

I don’t, I just type them out and hope one of the better editors likes my writing more and uses it haha 😄

Haha haha! I’ve seen so many so there must be a setting to do them. Even iMovie has one but the letter spacing is awesome.

Has anyone thought about removing the dagger?

I’ve figured a way of doing it but it means removing a large amount of the movie, I.e. Lando intro etc.

Rey finding it in Kylos chamber when she picks it up can be the first time she sees it.

It’s just an idea as I hate that macguffin!!
