Hey vaderios, I meant to ask before; what source do you use for the before pictures? 2004 DVDs?

^That's a good sign. :)

The pacing problem with opening on Yoda's scene is the incredible amount of honestly boring exhibition you get with that scene, which is fine if you're already engaged in the story, but to start it off like that is asking a little much of the audience.

Good point. The movie wouldn't exactly start with a bang that way.

I likes! :D

I would like to ask, though, since I may have missed it; what is the thinking/rationale behind Luke talking to Obi-Wan in his Tatooine home rather than on Dagobah?

I still don't think they could be hot enough, or the contact be long enough, for anything to glow like that, especially if it had a decent amount of thickness to it. But of course, I'm no scientist. :p

I'm, not trying to shoot down ideas or anything, it's just something I've thought of before, even years ago. The question of 'how hot is a lightsaber supposed to be?' I bet LFL made some sort of article about it somewhere. Haha.

Nice stuff, once again. I noticed you changed the sky, too. Looks nice. A little more defined.

One thing I think is being a bit overdone is damage that lightsabers cause. I notice you added a bright orange glow to Fett's rifle in the shot after Luke cut it. Well, I don't think you'd see any glow (or extremely little?), as the saber is only in contact with the metal for maybe 1/10 second. Sure, it's really hot, but it would take prolonged contact to make it glow like that. Just the way I'm thinking.

Yeah, I can see Ady doing something subtle there. :)

Nice work yet again. I especially like the last frame. The deflection flash looks much better. The original looks like...something I can't quite think of. Part of some comapny's film logo. Paramount? I dunno. Sorta lens flarish.

It's rather like the torch of Columbia

Yes! That's what I was thinking of. Thanks. :)

It's like Tarkovsky's SOLARIS and the 10+ minute car ride in the beginning of the film.... yeesh!

I've been hearing a fair amount about that movie (any version) for the past few months. Worth seeing?

And I also dig that latest gif, vaderios! Good--and logical--idea. :) The funny thing is, when they get in the Falcon, it's like the same electricity problems plaguing the base hit the Falcon, too.

I'm probably gonna have to wait until next month to get Part 1. Bandwidth issues and whatnot. :p

^I'll PM you an invite.

Very cool, Nanner! Hope you're enjoying the class. I think I would like that.

I can't remember if you used both songs, or just the more famous, first one.

Both. I jump from one to the other.

And, well I mispelled, it's not exactely a song, it's just music

Same difference. ;) And most boy bands are not bands at all! Haha.

I use the cantina song in EP4

The PAL version seems to be sort of MIA. I know I didn't see it in almost half a dozen places. Hopefully someone who actually has it can contact you.

Yeah, maybe it's just the angle or the cropping or something, but it looks kinda Mon Cal. :)

Ah yes! I had to turn the brightness WAY up on my monitor to see it, but yes, looks nice. :)

I also meant to say that I like the new viewport with the red rectangle and "scan lines." Some nice HUD work there. Might look neat with a sort of image of the power generator in the corner and a distance countdown that says 17.28. Heh heh.

Neat-o! My favorite thing about it is actually the added color to some of the lights, like the blues, yellows, etc... When you look at the pics of the left, they're fairly colorless. That may have been the intention, though, as they certainly used a lot of blinky colored lights elsewhere (Falcon, DS, etc...). Anyway, nice.

I like the first one, but not the second one so much, as it sort of looks like it's about to leave...but never does. :p Know what I mean?

^PM'd!! too. ;)

Judging by that picture, the scene is gonna be seamless! :p

To me, the cut would be so fast that you would barely see any damage at all. Maybe a faint wisp of smoke coming from the shoulder and maybe from the stump on the ground, which I figure would all but be "lifeless" (i.e. no smoke or boiling blood or anything) by the time it hit the ground.

I'm kinda with OS on this one. Add the fact that they are in a bad spot, not receiving or sending "clear transmissions."

Your mock-up is kinda neat, though. Reminds me of an old, bad quality BBC show. Haha.

Thanks for laying it out up there, Bingo. :p It would make a very cool scene and makes sense, too.
