Wow! I am extremely impressed by your ability to amaze us! :D

Nice to have you on board Husker hope you lend your hand to rolling the harder Episode 6 (how am going to cope now that show has finished ++sob++?).

Ditto to that on both notes. : )

I need to go and watch the scene to visualize the direction you're indicating, but if you're saying what I think you're saying, that's hilariously obvious, yet apparently invisible to all of us. :P ILM probably never thought of that in terms of continuity- just took the indoor footage and placed it in the "window" area for effect.

Is the shadow consistency regarding the "transparent" center skylight disk, which shows up as opaque in the shadow? Other than that, I can't see any problems with the interior shadows. :/

Well, that ends that discussion pretty quickly. Lol. It's amazing what some good color correction can do to a scene. Thanks for the screencaps, Ady.

May I suggest using that as the backround for the chapter selection page on the DVD!

 

I agree, I think some of Vaderios' mockups should be menus on the DVD.

Absolutely! :) Maybe they won't make it into the movie itself, but since vaderios is saving them as high quality/hi-res images, they could be neat as a menu image.

Or at the very least, maybe a 'Fan Mock-Ups' DVD-ROM folder could be included? I'd love to be able to have them all together and show them to family and friends. :) We never had anything nearly to this extent for ANH:R (cuz vaderios wasn't around then? heh), and the mock-ups have been a ton of fun!

 

Very cool ideas. I'm all for it.

Is the ladder REALLY what we need to be worrying about guys?  I think this is oging just a little too far @_@

The same thought had crossed my mind, but since we're here to discuss everything, why not? :P

I like those. However, the "Star Wars" logo seems stretched on III, V, and VI. It looks normal on I and IV.

Security?  Those aren't guards.  Those are the guys who drag the bodies away.  ;)

HAHAHA I laughed so much! thank your that!

-Angel

It made me laugh too, and so did your signature. Nice touch there. : )

By the blue sword of Dr Manhattan, IT MIGHT WORK!

Yeah, and that too. What is with all the lulz today? You guys made my evening. :D

I love the mockups. For the first time the sets seem to be expanding, instead of being confined to what we already know and have memorized. After watching a movie so many times, it's hard to think of a particular area as anything more than "the corridor in this shot." I like it.

And bah- NTSC all the way- I hate sped-up audio. :P Though the extra resolution is tempting...

An odd idea for Vader's hallway.

Is that background a picture of the Millenium Falcon from the Science of Star Wars exhibit? Either that or a behind-the-scenes shot.

I think the curvature issue was already fixed by Adywan, but the others look quite nice. I love the new engine coloring. And hey, Hoth has an atmosphere!

Damn. Those are amazing. The undestroyed trench shot is beautiful, and the others are just cool as hell. I have at least 4 or 5 people in my building who are waiting patiently (or not so patiently) for this edit. :D

Here goes nothing. ;-)

Post the list once you're done, so we can all check to see if we're on it- that'll be an easy way of proof-reading it. Good luck. :)

Revenge of the Sith would have to be red- Attack of the Clones purple for Windu, and Phantom Menace... Blue again?

Woah. Nice comparison shots of the wampa suits. Also, it's always nice when you take the time to clarify on everyone's posts. Thanks for the effort. :) Hope the next batch of fur turns out better.

Sony DL DVDs work for me- that's what I use.

^Lol. It would be awesome if we happened to be going to the same school, but alas it is not so. I'm going to Fairleigh Dickinson University in NJ, which has a mixed liberal arts/film program. I wanted a good balance of both. As a result, the hard core film classes don't really gear up for a year or two, although FDU incorporates them earlier than most do.

And out of guilt for offtopicness, yay Revisited. Ok, guilt gone. :P

Oh your a film major? Thats awesome. Next year I'm going to majoring in film :D

 

Good luck. It's a lot of fun, but can take a while to gain speed depending on the college/university.

Seconded.  I tend to buy TV show DVDs, rip them to mp4 files on my external hard drive, then sell the DVDs back to Reckless Records or FYE.  I started using the iPod preset, but could always notice compression errors.  So now, to avoid that, I use an insanely high bitrate that ends up making an 44-minute episode around 1.5 gigs.  That's a lot of HD space for 4 seasons of BSG and Lost, 9 seasons of The X Files, 2 seasons of Dexter, 3 of It's Always Sunny, 5 of Futurama, 7 of The Simpsons ... the list goes on (and my free space shrinks).  It's worth it to me, though.  Which is why it really bugs me that most fan edits are only available in overly-compressed DVD-5 copies, and why I'm very happy that Ady takes us sharp-eyed folk into account.

Haha. I do similar stuff, but I have to balance hard drive space with quality. I am definitely glad that Ady takes the time to give us the best quality options. I love Magfan's edits, but the quality always makes me want to cry. Revisited is beautiful all around.

I haven't the means to burn the DVD-9 version so I've had to content myself with the DVD-5 version.

The only difference between -5 and -9 is a couple of bonus features and the better video quality on the 9 for super-size TV's.  If your set is under 50", the video quality difference is negligble.

Or if you're a film major, like myself. ;) I can spot quality differences from a mile away. Everyone else should be fine though.

Nope. The best quality you could hope for using normal DVD technology would be DVD-9 quality. However, I believe there is a way to burn a blu-ray image onto a DVD-9 disk which plays on BD players. Ady's 1080p versions of the Saga use that method, I think. That would be the only way to keep the quality short of the actual file or a real Blu-ray disk.

It will be in both DVD and 720p formats.

The DVD-9 is full quality, while the DVD-5 is compressed. On a normal television it may be hard to see the difference, but display it on an HDTV and it will be more conspicuous. I'd recommend the DVD-9 for that and the bonus features, which are all very interesting.

*hug* :D

Wow. I am extremely impressed. I love how the x-ing gets shot as they try to escape, and the whole thing is just beautiful to look at.

If you mean the shot of them on the long walkway, BEFORE they get to the gantry, they are definitely there, but also definitely faint. If you look at it from an angle (using the lcd angle to make them brighter), you can see them on mine, but normally it is very hard to make them out.
