Wow, everyone getting ahead of me haha, that was going to be in one of the new clips in a more holistic post about what I’ve been doing with this edit.
I wanted to come back to this with more to show but not even a few days after I started work on it again, this thread got bumped (and now this lol)! Well, whatever. Yeah, I’m back at this. I dug up my old laptop’s drive and have been going through and syncing/re-sourcing files, redoing edits, etc.
I’m hoping it will be the final version so I can finally put this old edit to bed. And then back to OLD BEN and COAXIUM BEBOP, I swear
- 1080p
- Tone down the extra audio additions by like a third
- Tone down the sillier stuff (to tighten pacing, as well as being over some of it. No more extended elevator antics or excessive droid talking, for example)
- De/re-score parts of the film; let the film breathe a bit, make a more compelling tone throughout
- No more color grade, or at least a subtler one
If there’s anything about this edit I was most proud of, it was how much I was able to change Anakin/Obi/Padme’s motivations in the story, and I think that may have gotten lost in the all the other ambitious stuff I was cramming in and experimenting with. So I want to just focus on polishing presentation of those elements now, and not just keep throwing shit at the wall. Like I said, I’ll have a more holistic post at some point this month.
EDIT: Also I was never going to add TCW footage this
