Phase3

That’s well done!

Hi, guys, I know I’ve been silent for a while but I’ve been working on a bit of a surprise quietly so stay tuned. And here and the youtube channel, as well as the facebook page are pretty much equally good for keeping up with updates.

I’m looking forward to seeing what you do next!

Let’s hope that we can get the VFX, as I’d love to do a different version of the ending!

That sounds great! 👍🏼👍🏼

Anybody who is satisfied with their work. If you are willing to consider it, for example.

If there are people interested in it, yes I’d be happy to share a finished clip.

I am one that is interested for sure.

No problem! Once I finish my AOTC edit, I will do a separate clip of that sequence.

You have some very solid ideas here! The VFX work you did in that sample clip is fantastic — what software are you using for that?

Can I make one suggestion? You could easily remove the pirates from chapter 17, as the over-acting was awful, and the generic “leave one guy alive to escape” was very poorly written. The first introduction to the pirates can come from chapter 21.

I enjoyed your previous Mando episodes, and am looking forward to your next instalment! This season was really disappointing…The horrendous over-acting by the “guest stars” on the planet Plazir-15, along with the “droid bar” was awful, plus an entire episode just for Pershing, which ended up going nowhere was just silly haha! I’m so glad that you will remove all of that footage!

Will you be removing the awful generic “pirates-starting-a-fight” scene from episode 1? The first introduction to the pirates can come from episode 5, which would cut down on the poorly-written characters being on-screen for very long. Oh and can I suggest removing some of the pathetic over-acting from the pirates when they’re chasing Din in their starfighters? There is too much “tough guy” talk, straight out of a thousand generic action films.

PM sent!

Will a completed version of the scene be uploaded independently for editors at some point? I think plenty of people would like to slot it into Hal’s edit or possibly merge it with an extended version of AOTC for a super extended version.

Which editor(s) are you making this request to?

I personally think it flows better going right before the elevator scene. Though I guess if you share the redone scene by itself anyone could make an edit putting it wherever they want.

I tried that, however for my edit it just didn’t work. The placement of this scene will differ from edit to edit!

I’ve put the training sequence after the assassination attempt on Padme’s life, and before the deleted scene of Padme addressing the Senate.

I’ve adjusted Anakin’s voice to match how he sounded in AOTC.

The user Phase3 is planning to incorporate it into his ‘streamlined’ edit. He has mentioned on the fanedit forums that he was almost done with the edit. He is more active there.

The scene has finally been finished; I made more adjustments to the SFX and colours, and I’m happy with it now.

The AOTC Streamlined edit is nearly done, however I haven’t had as much time to work on the edit lately as I would like…

Great work there! 👍🏼👍🏼

Fantastic! Please let us all know when it’s ready!
Will you be making a separate audio track available, that we can add into our copies of the edit?

That’s a subtle, but fantastic change!

The explosion with no shake, plus Yavin in there looks great!

The colour correction looks fantastic!
The pink hues throughout the Tatooine sequences always looked wrong; if you could restore them to a proper sand colour, then that would be amazing!

Here it is with the lightsaber:

ignore the color issues.

That looks fantastic! I hope that you include it in V2! 😀👍🏼

You could access the US Apple site whilst using a VPN if that helps?

I don’t have any Apple products or accounts, so I can’t sign in and buy it…

It’s available on the Google Play store, however it doesn’t state if it’s the 1.2GB version or not:

The ones I have are 304x640, which came out of an .epub file, of which I don’t even remember where it came from. They look decent when upscaled, but still not amazing.

My .epub file is 519mb, and according to the Apple Books website, their version is 1.2gb, so it seems that the video files would be a lot better.

I can’t buy or download that version of the eBooks (looks like they aren’t avalible in Australia?) but it looks pretty confirmed that the video files would look a lot better. Best way to get it would be to download it to an iPhone/iPad/iPad, and sync it to a PC/Mac, and then figure out how to extract it from there.

Hopefully someone is able to get that raw ebook file, I’d love to crack into it and get the higher res video files. Would do wonders for many projects around here.

Well done! What is the new plugin you acquired?

That shot looks great!

Looks good!!

Glad to hear you’re getting back into the edit!
