The Cutter

where did u find this ?

nice, another good idea with this imperial motiv

I just find the perfect place to introduce it : when Obi-wan escape from Utapau, the shot where we see clones seeking for him...I can introduce the theme here, without damaging the existing music

I am impressed with the audio cleaning, what is your recipe ? which effect in audacity ?

 For instance the scene where Anakin kills the younglings kids in the temple could be augmented by adding "Do not hesitate, and show no mercy" as Anakin ignites his lightsaber.

 good idea - I will see if it's possible without damaging the Anakin / Palpatine sequence

rpvee said:

1. Do you create all that from scratch, or do you remix the original March?

 everything is new, progammed note by note

gobalicious said:

 There's too much flare. 

 I will take in consideration what you and rpvee said : the music seems to be too much "glorious"

fishmanlee said:

will you bring the Boba fett and/or Imperial motif (NOT THE MARCH) into your music at any point?

 what do u mean by imperial motif ?

Mithrandir, I will use your good ideas in my cut

Want a new original music for the strike on the Jedi temple ?

That new scene with Padme on the balcony on Alderaan works really well.

This edit is shaping up great.

If you like it as it looks right now, you will love it once achieved : the sequence will be much longer with a close-up of the baby, a color correction to ensure that all the sequences fits together and a new sunset fx...

and Vaderios give me a great idea to make the scene even better...

I need someone skilled with after effect

rpvee said:

Also, Cutter, will the Luke and Leia theme be in the score any more than just in the birth scene?  I think its use in the birth scene should sound a bit more ominous, and I think a hint of it any time Anakin and Padme discuss the "baby" would be cool.  

 I will think about it : I plan to create original music where I used OT soundtracks

Bingowings said:

I'm not sure about seeing them on Alderaan as it blows any chance of keeping Leia as at least one secret in your cut but it is your cut.

 I think I will remove the names during the birth sequence...because it's not very well done.

mrbenja0618 said:

Just saw your clip of Padme... I may be able to work something out for you.... Are you working in NTSC, or PAL?

 I am working with the PAL dvd right now, but it's temporary, I am waiting for the blu-ray

what do u suggest ? you have video fx skill ?

krloz said:

I think that it would be better if Padme dies because I think it's more impactful. You could redub the medical droid that tells obi wan that she's dying because she lost the will to live and put something like that the babies got hit when anakin choke her. It wouldn't make any sense that Padme stayed with leia and gave luke to uncle owen and aunt beru. Sorry for bad english

everything about this is explained by Obi-wan in the Return of the Jedi...but this aspect is very badly made and poor in ROTS...

I understand your point, it's more impactful and the funeral sequence is beautiful, but it doesn't fit with OT :

Leia : "she died when I was very young"

very young can't mean the day of my birth !! ^_^

gobalicious said:

I wonder how you'll deal with the scene where Bail says he'll take Leia? 

 

Coming soon

If you are doing away with dying in childbirth, maybe it might be possible to change Anakin's dream so that he just sees her death and not how it happens.  That way it is still a self-fulfilling prophecy.  If you are doing away with his vision then you just have to cut it so Anakin says "You died." instead of "You died in childbirth."

I create a new dream sequence, using Padme's funeral scene

rpvee said:

How are you establishing Padme taking refuge?

I will upload this soon

Here is an idea I just had :

feedback are welcome

This becoming something special. Let me know if you need any help.

 thanks, what's your speciality ?

Loconut said:

You've duplicated that sound when he puts on his robe, but it's exáctly the same as the first one.

 

ah ah you got me !

Loconut said:

no sound at all OR (all kinds of) gear sounds at every move the robot arm makes in that sequence. Can you tell me whether you will adjust this further?

yes it can be fix- maybe a different sound, more subtle

mrbenja0618 said:

and then the cut right before he activates the pods is way to abrupt....

rpvee said:

I think R2 flying out of the pile of droids and him being at the terminal should be separated.  Put him at the terminal between Anakin running over to Obi-Wan and Palpatine saying "leave him".

 good idea, it works well

greenpenguino said:

How about a shot where you see the droid ship blow up. Similar to the final shot of the death star in the original star wars? So after Anakin and Co escape the ship blows up and you transition to the meeting thing between palpatine and the others.

Yes I will do that

before I wanted to keep at all costs the sequence with the ship falling to Coruscant, that's why I didn't make the ship explode...but it does not work well because when they leave with the pod, the ship is at horizontal 

rpvee said:

Your latest creation sounds good (the escape pod one), but is that how the actual sequence is going to be?  It's very rushed and left me rather confused.   

this is the same cut I presented last year :

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

it start at 6.32 with Anakin saying " R2, activates escape pods"

I looked for a way to extend this a bit, but in vain

all suggestions to improve it are welcome

A new musical vision for my "escape pod cut". For this sequence I wanted a new vision of the force theme, something powerfull and majestic to emphasize Anakin's heroic behavior.

I was mainly inspired by "Resolution and hyperspace" from Aliens soundtrack and the end of the track called "Return of the Jedi".

Musical vision part 5 :

Mithrandir said:

 and the only thing that mirrors it is Anakin staring at the Naboo landscape when he dreams about his mother

 it remind me this :

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hvtjD5kV1us&feature=related

look at 3.28 and 3.42

the cinematic is ugly but the direction is better than the movie...I saw this cinematic before seeing the film...and I was really disappointed...I thought we would see Anakin up the stairs slowly like he does in ROTJ...very good idea

rpvee said:

Well, previous critiques aside about the video editing, this is looking much better now.  I LOVE the new Vader scene.  Maybe when this is released, you could have an option for an isolated score audio track!

welcome back rpvee, and nice avatar ! omg

good idea, why not - and at the end, I will upload my score, as loconut suggested, for those who are interested
