I've never actually noticed any of the flipped shots before. But if they are flipped, they should be un-flipped.

 I'm actually with DE on this. You can't just go un-flipping shots. *Usually* they are done for the sake of screen direction. If a character starts to look towards screen right you can't then have a shot of him looking at screen left. (unless its done with some sort of story telling purpose...but I can't think of any off the top of my head)  my two cents :D

Another video...

Now all this needs is Angels awesome colors for this scene!  :D

vaderios said:

Btw SWWR any news or updates from ROTJ fan-o-matic? Or its finished?

Um...yeah...I think I'll have one more part finished pretty soon. But I'm not sure if I'll get around to completing the whole movie. The most radical ideas I wanted to try out I already have to some degree. And the ending...yeah...there are so many ideas to try...it's quite a big job thats a bit overwhelming. So I will probably only tackle a couple of key scenes. :D

Angel the new set is freakin' sweet!

And SSWR- I loved what you did with the pacing of the Palps/Ani conversation. The duel shots were trimmed perfectly, but the last sequence all seemed too rushed.  It needs to feel a bit more natural, but overall, this was a good step in the right direction.

 Thanks Ghost!

A couple of people have now said the same thing about the end scene. But no one has said spefically said how to lengthen it. Any ideas?

ben_danger said:

hey SSWR, loved the video! your prospective dialogue for windu is great, especially his remarks when getting on the transport! i'd be interested in seeing some dubs on anakin and palps perhaps if you think the dialogue could be improved, as you seem to get it spot on pretty much all the time.

 Thanks ben! I also think Anakin should be redubbed...I loved what Trooperman did in SOTDS! But i'm not as interested in attempting that as I was Windu. No one had tried that before as far as I know.

ben_danger said:

only things i'd change would be anakin waiting in the council chamber and the interchange there, id be interested to see that dialogue placed upon anakins fall scene?

 I don't disagree that the dialouge would work well there too. However in my particular edit it wouldn't work. Why? Well, I think Palps "mind talking" to Anakin is kind of what puts Anakin over the edge. It's what makes him show up and slice up Windu. If I cut that scene then why does Anakin go find Windu and Palps to begin with?

ben_danger said:

bingos idea would be a nice addition,

 Agreed! Although I think that line from Palps would require a close up and I don't know how you would make him say that...hmm

ben_danger said:

ps- ill get some comparison stills for the tilt shift experiment up when i have a spare moment.

 Sweet!  :D  Thanks again for the kind words!

Would really love to hear your idea about the whole Anakin/Vader thing. =)

 Well, it's by no means fleshed out yet...I'd like to work on it a bit more before I tell/show anyone.  ;D

Thanks for the feedback, mybenja0618 and theslime!

mrbenja0618 said:

This is interesting. Of course we would have to find someone to supply Sam Jackson's voice.

 

I saw on your youtube post that you wanted things to seem like Anakin and Vader were two different people. Is there any idea there you are toying with?

 Yes, we would definantly need some else to do his voice...although I don't think we need to find someone who sounds like sam jackson...my 2 cents...

Yeah, the whole Anakin and Vader are two different people ideas comes from simply watching the saga in order. I believe the surprise (I am your father) should still be in ESB. And I do have a couple of ideas on how to do this...hopefully I'll get around to posting them.

theslime said:

Wow, that was amazing, SSWR. It's a different movie altogether. It's still a bit of a mystery to me why Anakin chooses the dark side, even in this edit. However, in this case it's good mysterious! The removal of some of the lines makes it sound like he's more afraid than insecure, somehow. The context even changes the feel of his lines after the turn (kinda like how Magnoliafan made Natalie Portman a better actress by changing the Trade Federation's motivations to slavery. Suddenly "My people are dying" made sense.). He's been driven into this situation, but he should have known better. He knows that now, but he still doesn't know entirely which side to be on. Very cool indeed.

 Well, the idea is that it's the power of the dark side that ends up hooking Anakin. Yes, I believe that Anakin is concerned for Padmes life and he's not very trusting of the Jedi (specifically Windu in my edit) but once Palps starts talking about the POWER of the dark side...well...that's the hook...at least I think it should be. Kind of like the ring in Lord of the Rings. It's hard to pass up...just like Luke has a hard time passing it up in ROTJ.

Thanks again! :D

vaderios said:

Love the transformation :D :D

Finaly the dialogue goes faster rather so many spaces between..

You think im too reckless to handle this? :D

 

Thanks for the Credit captain :)

 

-Angel

 Thank you...and you're welcome! ;)

I'm loving these new pics, Angel!

Thanks for the kind words guys! Anything you really didn't care for?

I had a hard time figuring out what should go down when Anakin comes in on Windu and Palps...

Alright here we go...Anakin's new turn to the dark side...take one! :D

vaderios said:

Nice to see you back :D

We missed you

 

Cant wait for the video :D

-Angel

 Ah I'm blushing, Angel! Thanks man! :D

By the way, for those who are interested...

I'm still around reading up on the forums but I post even less these days...just spending time elsewhere.

However, I DO have a new video coming soon. It's sort of a first draft of Anakins turn to the darkside in ROTS.

It's all good.  ;)

mrbenja0618 said:

Post it elsewhere SSWR. I just can't tell the difference. But can you go into a bit more detail on what you're doing and what we should be looking for? I get that you want to make it look like a minature. I don't know.. Just not sure what I need to look for.

 

 Post what elsewhere? I'm confused.   ???

And thanks for the fixed link, JasonN! :D

Yeah, I'm not sure what I'm looking at ben_danger. But I'm VERY interested. Maybe post a side by side video...?

Also the link is not working...I'd love to see that link! :D

I am sorry for your loss, Adywan. Take care.

vaderios said:

 

Credit to SWWR for inspiration

-Angel

 Ha! Well, thank you Angel! Very very nice mockups! The MF entering down into the slug...the clouds added to cloud city...very nice indeed....  :D

I also agree with Bingowings that this could indeed be frustrating for Adywan...

One change I've implemented already is to move the Senate scene of Palpatine getting his emergency powers to immediately after Padme and Anakin leave Coruscant. He doesn't say anything about creating an Army because in my crawl, it will explain the army is common knowledge already. At the end of this scene, Mace doesn't say anything about going to Geonosis to help Obi Wan, and I've tweaked Yoda's line:

Mace: It is done then
Yoda: Hmmmmmm
*pause*
Yoda: Visit, Obi wan will, the cloners on Kamino.......and see this army they have created for the republic.

Obviously the reason being to track down the bounty hunter, under the ruse of 'inspecting' the army.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=49L3xzkZ3Pc

It's still VERY rough. I've done no work yet to smooth it out or add background music to Yoda's tweaked line. It's just in place ready for when I get to the audio stage.

SSWR, how would your idea be accomplished? And what narration do you mean? I'm definitely interested :)

 Hmmm...your idea sounds like it'll work well...

I'm not quite sure how my idea would be accomplished! lol...after effects would be a must though! I started working on an idea...I'll let you know if I really get anywhere  ;)

And as far as narration...well...I DO know that I like the idea of the clone army being common knowledge. And now that you've explained that Obi wan will still go to Kamino under the ruse of 'inspecting' the army...well I think that should work well.

I'm very excited for your edit! I don't know where I can really help you in this...mostly ideas, I guess! :D

brash_stryker said:

My aims with this edit:

To address the nonsensical plot, Jedi stupidity, Anakin being an asshole, Boba Fett being a kid, and many other issues. (will update when I can remember them all)

List of Changes:

• New title and Crawl - Suggestions welcome and encouraged! New crawl will explain that the Clone Army is common knowledge.

 

• Re-edited Kamino scenes to remove Jedi ignorance of the Republic ordering a clone army.

I had an idea the other day concerning the republic knowing about the clone army:

The very first senate scene could have someone (Palps) showing a "video" using the actual footage from Kamino. Maybe even have Lama Su there in a floating pod thingy narrating on top of the footage (just like in the original).

The idea is to move all of the information from that scene in the original and rework it to be used in the opening senate scene to show visually that the rebuplic is on board for this clone army.

It seems like there could be some advantages and disadvantages to this idea...one disadvantage is I don't know exactly what would take place once Obi wan lands on Kamino. lol  Just the whole Fett thing I guess...

Anyways...thought?

Hey, I've been following this thread for a while now, and figured I'd post this:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MnrHvnCTH6k

This is a heavy re-edit of the Episode III opening battle.  Notable changes are:

-No Buzz Droids

-New Music

-Color correction

I know the youtube upload created some odd interlacing, but I would like to know what you think of the pacing and the color changes. 

 Hey I haven't seen you hear in a long time! welcome back! :D

I actually have two of your older videos (of this same scene) stored on my desktop that I watched not too long ago...crazy huh?

I think this is your best edit of this scene yet!

I forgot to ask: Is this new shuttle a model you built, Ady?

Ady said in facebook page: The shot was completed a few month ago with a very nice CG shuttle :)

 Thanks, Angel. I don't know how I missed that...  :/

I forgot to ask: Is this new shuttle a model you built, Ady?

Yes! Very nice new shuttle! The old box ship just looked so odd...plus the movement was weird too. :D
