500GB? Very nice. It's cool that people are able to do that with the current systems.

I keep thinking of the possibilities of Blu-Ray discs, and one I just thought of is that once Ady is done with the trilogy (or saga?), the three movies could be put on one BR disc. Maybe just add a simple menu and maybe a couple of goodies.

Yeah, I don't really know about such things... Sorry. I got my ANH and ESB from Wideload, so maybe he could answer some specifics.

It's not a double post because the second one is slightly different. ;)

I think it's all down to them being bad drivers. Probably talking on cell phones. :p

Oh yes. I did see that a bit on the test version, especially during closeups of the actors sometimes. I appreciate how well thought out it is. The editing goes far beyond color and filter changes.

My two favorite audio moments are still the way the sound syncs in the pod race (perfectly timed ending!) and the way that "Lapti Nek" is introduced. :)

And the thing is, most people that would see this already know the movies inside-out. The only way we could view it totally fresh is if we all became Lobots. ;)

I also added a few vignetting effects on some shots

Hmm...not sure what you mean by that.

^Yeah, I see it now too. He edited the links. ;)

^Very weird. Hope there is an easy solution. :S

^No pictures showing for me. It just brings me to the imageshack mainpage.

(How does someone go from being a Jedi to a Count anyway?)

You'll have to ask George. :p Just expect a different answer depending on what day you ask.

I don't really see the problem with that guy. I mean, you don't want him to sound dumb, but you don't want him to sound like he's sassing the princess, either. His delivery should be fairly flat with a hint of incredulousness to it, which is pretty much what it is right now.

for part2 I think will send to you a test divx  without all the old filters (just to see if the text cards are okay), it will takes less time rendering and downloading.

Yes, that would be great. :)

Thanks for watching it Ripplin, I am waiting for your PM.

I sent you an e-mail.

Yes, it will be in motion. (Sorry Ripplin.)

Oh, I'm sure I'd enjoy both. I just wonder if applying filters to a whole movie like that could be...too much? Know what I mean?

Would be fun as an alternate version. Would it basically be the regular one with filters applied, or do you plan on dong something different with it, story or time-wise?

I've now watched this latest 'test' version and it looks very good! I like how you changed the colors at the right times, giving different places a theme. (Tatooine yellow, Kashyyyk green, underwater blue, etc...) I could see some spots where you did some creative panning, too.

I saw five instances where the dialogue should be tweaked (I think it was just an oversight in a couple of cases, as I think they were already changed on the first edition), so I'll PM you about it.

If you can implement the changes, that would be great. I would think there's enough time to do it, anyway. I hope I can have a last look at Part 2 before the final release, too.

I think that Zahn trilogy would be an awesome story to tell.  Those books are just great.

Except that he uses the word 'gingerly' way too much! Haha. ;)

has anyone seen ADM/editous ESB and ROTJ edits?

There is the ADM/DE Hybrid of Star Wars, but none for ESB or ROTJ. DE has been MIA for nearly a year, unfortunately. :(

The shot with Yoda looks great!

So...would this be like a real picture book, with individual pictures and either text or narration (that would be great!), or would it be the full movie with the filters applied throughout? (that could be...not so great.)

Good ol' Wideload. :)

Yes, it will be nice seeing a Star Wars doc in Jambe's signature style. :) Hope all is well, JD!

I think you should use the announcer audio from the SE trailers.  I really like the "And a few new surprises."  It would really work well with your trailer, I'm sure!

Great idea!

I'm paraphrasing here, but 'for an entire generation, people have watched Star Wars the only way it's been possible...[with a horrible blue tint job.] But if [that's the way you've been forced to watch it], you haven't seen it at all!'

I complicated the editing process to a point you can't imagine!

Reminds me of when I started doing transparencies for pictures. I would do this long, stupid process that was not always 100% successful. Then I started using another method and it's SO easy now! It's nice to find the easy way, but a little frustrating at the same time. ;)

That's weird. No reason why it shouldn't work. Might want to take the disc to where it was bought and see if it works there. Or directly to a Sony store if you can!

Have you found a new/better ISP, Ady?
