^Off topic, but the 2001 pod in TPM reminds me of one of the deleted scenes in Pee-Wee's Big Adventure. During the extended Warner Brothers backlot chase, he goes through a section full of props, one of which is a full-size landing craft from V. :)
Carry on.
^Which is a nice one. Thanks for the heads-up! (I don't browse the forum enough...)
Nice idea for a thread. :) Didn't know about a bunch of these before.
I have/(had?) a hi-res version of that pic of the Falcon on Theed that Bingo posted. It's awesome! I should look for it.
Looks good, Bingo. Nice new angle. :)
I just had an idea for Luke's approach into Cloud City. I'm gonna try and make it soon. (this is sort of a reminder to myself)
Or maybe Life of Brian? There's a colosseum scene in that, too. Haha.
ben_danger said:i got the crowd noise from a football game.:P i'm thinking of reinventing AOTC a bit, so any preconceptions of, well, anything can be changed. if the seperatists are really multiracial, then maybe we will get a better idea of 'a galaxy divided'. geonosis could be made to look like the anti-coruscant perhaps?
What if you tried crowd noise from Ben-Hur or Spartacus or something like that? Certainly would fit.
I think I'll agree with vaderios there. That kind of stuff will be in the trailer, anyway, I imagine. For now, background shots and such are great.
I think I like the second one best. It's still a bit brighter. The rest seem a bit more gloomy/moody. I suppose that could work if it was intentionally darker outside. I dunno, I'm kinda rambling. :p
^At least there is more than one color in that scene now, huh? :p Looks nice.
Interesting concept, but I also like the original much better this time.
meh
^Wow, it's like my last post was prophetic somehow! :p
^Yes, Luke said he'd meet them there, but he didn't say "I'm leaving right now. Race you there!" :p There's no reason not to believe that some time has passed and they all had things to take care of before they started their rescue mission, right? I don't see any continuity issues with having him be somewhere else before Tatooine.
I've been using DVDFab for a few years, but I didn't know you could do any editing with it. I just use it to copy troublesome discs, as it often fixes them. :p

There were smilies here? Man, I can't even remember! :p
I just wish--and I've said this many times--that deleting our own posts could be implemented, especially as this forum has more double/triple/quadruple/quintuple (?!) posts than anywhere else I've ever seen in my internetting life! Haha. Or, there are a bunch of blank posts because someone couldn't delete their post.
ben_danger said:is there any decent FREE software that i can use to convert a DVD to an editable file type, be it avi, mp4, quicktime etc?
I'd like to know, too. I don't even know how to rip something to post on YouTube! Maybe I should ask Davnes or SSWR1 or someone like that how they do it.
Beautiful new shot, Ady! Makes sense to see a fair amount of brightness, then later on, it's much darker when they pick up Luke. Once the sun starts setting, it doesn't take long. :)
That's a scene that could be implemented fairly easily into a movie, too, I'd think, as that scene is a static shot, basically. Just add a very slight movement to the clouds, maybe, and there y'go!
^That's beautiful. And yes, that's a stupid creature. Sooooo Muppety. (which is fine if you're watching "The Muppet Show", of course, but in this context...)
Like I said on YouTube, "I imagine Leia would be pretty surprised by the picture. Or maybe Han is thinking she's playing dumb?"
Davnes007 said:4. Take your time, and cut-out all the windows. (OMG, that's a pain in the butt! That's why some of the window frames look weird.)
Indeed! It would be nice if that magic wan tool was really, really smart, or you could just tell it what to do. :p
P.S. You gotta watch this! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4CixquqPrCk
Again, great to see so much happening so fast! I guess it was right place, right time. :)
I'll have to grab it sometime and be able to offer people either version.
adywan said:Now i had spent 5 days working on the new moving matte shot of Luke's approach and had just finished it and i loved it until i saw this suggestion. i've now gone back and had to change most of the elements and start from scratch because i like this idea ...but the finished shot is 1000% better than it originally was.
Wow, how 'bout that?! Any chance we could see the original scene somehow? If not now, then maybe as a DVD extra? Or in a making-of documentary-type situation? :)
Seems like a lot is getting done in a short amount of time. This will help a lot of people! :) I might even have to get it myself. I've actually copied the NTSC DVD-9 at least 8 or 9 times, I'd say. I think one may have even been sent to the UK! Haha.
