Hey, Ade, any chance there'll be an ESB Purist edition, too? Just wondering...
No. Purist changed back major editorial changes in ANHR. There are no major editorial changes to ESBR.

 

I'll take your word for it, but I actually really liked the more major editorial changes in ANH:R because there was good reason for them.

Although I remember thinking Empire won't need many changes which rings true in terms of what you say about the structure of the film ESB and that very little needs to be done in terms of re-arranging scenes or altering the flow. And taking it more back to pre-special edition status.

I do hope we get something at least bordering on a Major edit to the film... There is only 2 or 3 instances though that I can actually think of where it could perhaps warrant a major edit unlike ANH:R which had quite a bit more.

Do New shots not count as Major edits?

I also hope that you keep the PDF companion booklet showing what was changed that was something I really enjoyed flicking through after watching ANH:R This absolutley must stay part of revisited

Help Wanted: for my 'Gremlins - Extended Cut'...
Time

Ok quick update of the 2 scenes shown in the demo I believe the first clip should stay out of the movie but however I would like to see the second clip in the bank incorporated I think this would be an improvement.

I have no intention to ruin this movie as It is dear to me and I do not plan to cut anything from the film at all this should have been stated in the first post.

Veers Pimped his ride with Red windows a Holo phone and some sub woofers to boot.

Theres a time waster for the special features dvd Veers pimped AT-AT let's not forget the fluffy dice and ride of the valkries blaring out in the background.

Sharon and dave name tag stickers across the top also or something like that.

When veers pull the binocular screen down to view the shield generator it could be replaced with bugs bunny cartoon or road runner.

I would not mind seeing Vader on a monitor as opposed to a hologram in AT-AT It honestly makes little odds to me... Providing the bad hologram goes which is obviously not looking so good these days that is the purpose.

A lot of people have commented on the new probe droid video saying that Chewie has snow blowing round him and Han does not.... I know the clip says 100% finish and I am fine with it how it is looks great but.... Is it worth adding some snow particles to shots with Han shooting?

But obviously only a bit. because I don't want for it to interfere with the view of the probe droid itself

honestly I don't mind if it stays the way it is. but you can't remove the snow from Chewie and I see their point.

This off to side of frame might also work - Good this one!

I'd say that is a lot better now

just a thought but after watching it a few times I think it might be better to cut it back on Vaders last line to "inform me when we are in super lasser range" and leave it at that.

It's more blunt and Vader should not be entertaining the idea he will fail can you chop that in your editor as I think it will improve it further. And then I think it is done

but If you wan't to keep it fine It's just where I can see perhaps further improvement

@trekkie 313 I totally agree...

I'm not saying CGI is crap either but it is over used as the one stop solution to any major production and it's wearing thin.

I have recently been going through many old horror movies and anthologies just to admire the make up and creature effects that I so badly miss as well as miniature work and stop motion. It looks amazing compared to films today.

It is like everyone says CGI is the most expensive process and that it's actually cheaper to do it with miniatures or make-up and animatronics... But I call BS the CGI is a cheaper less time consuming process and can be edited and changed on the fly without constant physical re-design or re-shoots. And the top tier talent base is possibly quite niche now

I don't buy CGI is more expensive but if it is get more of the Old Talent and their apprentices back into movies doing it the way it used to be done but enhanced with CGI I think this is the winning strategy and start writing off so much unrealistic CGI that looks really horrible... Use the Hobbit as a prime example that also has gone the way of the PT star wars trilogy.

Using the right tool for the right job is what it boils down to and working that into a budget not just ok let's call the CGI guys in they will fix it. Making decisions on what will work better and not what is cheaper or easier.

Talking of re-scoring a special edition scene.... Perhaps this part with the cloud car fly through up until leia is at the window in cloud city... I wonder if it could be improved... Although I am stuck for suggestions on a replacement.

I got one of those measure shape depth tools lol...

Definitely diffuse whatever you light it with though... I don't know what light you are planning to use for the overall set light... I would suggest halogen though and diffuse it with one of these.

http://www.leefilters.com/lighting/diffusion-list.html

one last thing light it from both the left and the right atleast 2 lights.. even better if you can get halogen lamps with dimmer control.

I can't wait to see the final shot now

Texturing is now complete on the hangar miniature. Next to paint it and add all the extra mechanical and pipe details


What did you use to create the grooves?

A fork? Stanley? or something else?

Also I am curious will you be populating this miniature with models or digital matte?

Basically we know that you plan to replace the out of scale background but what will it be comprised of?

I saw those y-wing finemolds pics and really increased my interest if you will be adding physical models to the shot...

A little idea but if you add any lights...Put a cardboard box board lid a burn some joss sticks might create good atmosphere to the miniature or even cigerette smoke basically smoke and lights.

If any mini lights need diffusing to stop glare get some frost lighting gel or tracing paper / grease proof paper might even do the trick for LED's for instance...

Hey Ryan,

I am trying to get rid of the "GO!" crewe member shouting for you but I need to find a line from Bast where he says "Plan" or something else that will make the sentence work.

Do you know of any word he says that can be used in the sentence?

I tried using the "PL" and the "and" from earlier and It just won't gel so I need another word to make it work.

The use of lines is good.... There is a bit too much high and high mid frequencies in the Vader voice though and in general... What are you using to do the edit with?

I cleaned it up a bit but I suggest you clean up each sound element individually and then mix them together it's way too toppy overall while the music sounds fine

Great work ronster! I'm less fussy about audio fidelity than I usually would be, given the workprint nature of this project.

But this is the kind of help I'm needing from forum members. I can give you the audio without the music if you want to have a play with it?

I'm editing in 'Nero Vision Xtra' btw

p.s. Do you think there is anything that can be done with the technician shouting over Bast's line at the end? I minimised it significantly in the mix but it's still there.

I'll have a go at it for you... the way to remove the crew member shouting in the background is to cut it out entirely... So that may mean being more clever with the dialogue.

I don't need the music you can add that but I will try to clean out the horrible tinny sound for you and I'll have a go at Vader for you too.

separate sound files though

This is where people misunderstand what creative people actually do for a living...75% of it is making it actually happen no matter what goes wrong and always finding a solution to a problem or a way around it. 

And most of the time you are either missing something  or it's something that does not work.

I watched the clip while I was half asleep and did not realize that the shot was called probe droid or that it featured a new probe droid... But now I have woken up a bit... It looks really good

Was you missing the Arm for the tripod or the screws for the plate?

I don't do much with camera's.... But I know all about improvising and making it happen lol.

It's all part of the drama eh....

Really nice color work in the new clip.

BAD MOON (EQUINOX) 1996 ERIC RED (Released)
Time

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0115610/

This was a quick simple edit I did yesterday. Simple film with simple cuts.

I only came across this film a couple of months ago but thought it was fantastic and wondered how it had slipped under my radar. I come from the UK and this has still yet to be released on DVD in the UK  or even Blu-ray worldwide.

There is a US Region 1 DVD release of the film but it is out of print a long time ago

Original Running time 80 minutes

Edit Running time 73 minutes

<span style=“text-decoration: underline;”>Change list</span>

Removed original opening pre credit sequence

Added different music to credit sequence - Creedance Clearwater Revival - Green River

Removed Scene with Kid and the Book

Removed scene watching the movie in the lounge

removed Bad fx shot in change sequence

New Ending (cut dream sequence)

Added title card

Added new music to credits sequence - The Doors - Moonlight Drive


I think I have made this film a more enjoyable watch, and I hope you enjoy it especially people of the UK as you may never have heard of this classic little Gem like myself until recently.

effectively I have actually tamed the film down a bit and felt I got more to the heart of what the film was about.

Suitable for persons 15 years and Older it is a Horror film but it is not too graphic especially as I have cut the most graphic scene out of the movie as It really was not needed.

The original is available to stream on you tube in it’s original form If you are interested.

<span style=“text-decoration: underline;”>the edit is available to stream only here</span>
