In regards to the cliff scene, I think it would've been better (and more exciting) if it was edited similarly to the scene in this TV spot (@ 0:22):

I think that's  a pretty decent guide to follow. We'd need to make it a bit longer to flow better, but I generally like the order from what I saw.

 And I like how Indy's cut off and goes straight to screaming. It cuts out Marion's horrible "trust me" line.

on the cameo topic, maybe ady should dub over fetts lines...just add a bizarre take on that closed debate

 

arm in ANH, voice in ESB, he can make an actual physical appearance in ROTJ.

 

 Ady was in ANH as a Rebel Guard in the final scene.

 

really?? which one?

 

 From doubleofive's Picasa gallery:

 

 

"Me" is Ady.

You know... I'm sure this is crazy; but we have some freakishly awesome editors on here.... Why couldn't we re-shoot the prequels... I know how to shoot; and have the equipment... Someone has to know how to do some CG work... I know how to do green screen keying... We have all the music we could ever need.

 

I'm SURE this would never happen; but if some of us worked together on different aspects, I actually do believe it could happen.

 

Crazy dreams, I know... But how much fun would that be???

 

 You're kidding, right?

I'm still tackling the Jungle Chase, so here are some more color-correction comparisons for that sequence:

 

AMAZING work, Laser! I was afraid that you abandonned this project!

What really pissed me off in KOTCS was Indy's clothes being green, but now everything looks in line with the originals! Great work! Even the jungle looks 100x more natural now!

 

Please post clips soon!

Hey Ady,

 

I'm somewhat of a lurker.  I just watched your latest clips and they are awesome.  I can't wait to see more.

 

I have full faith in what ever choices/changes you make to this.  ANH:R is now also cannon in my book.  I will watch that instead of my official dvd.

Exactly.

 

Exactly what?

Ady, I don't know if this was previously acknowledged, but I noticed that when Luke flies out the window during his fight with Vader, his lightsaber seems to disappear, but he has it again later. Will this be fixed somehow?

It doesn't need to be fixed. Luke loses the lightsaber as he falls out of the window. when he is hanging on the ledge you can see the lightsaber is lying there on the platform.

I've never even noticed that. That's fine, then.

here's 2 versions to choose from:

ASTEROID SCENE EXTENDED COMPARISON

ASTEROID SCENE EXTENDED SOLO

They're only slightly longer than the one posted recently but these are the shots as they will appear in ESB:R. A certain debate that raged on for a while can now be put to rest. It's over. I have made my decision. lol

FIRING GREY TIES! AWESOME!!

Awesome job, Adywan!!!

Here's a list of the changes I caught:

New asteroid field.

TIE Fighters now grey and fire at Falcon.

The rock that collides with the asteroid is now larger.

The TIE's explosion is larger.

Am I missing anything?

 

The TIE pilot flying out of the explosion...

 

Oh my God! I didn't even see that! That's hilarious!!

 

Adywan, how did you do that?

This reminded me of something I was going to say in my previous post. One of the absolute dumbest plot devices of this whole movie comes right after this bit with Marion holding the wheel, where Indy tells everyone that nobody has to continue but him, and when he's asked why he says it's because the skull told him he had to. SHUT UP!!! I've never heard anything so stupid and it's just one more instance in this movie where Indy is being a puppet led around by someone or something else.

It seems to me that a good piece of this scene could be cut. Once they recognize that they need to be going up to those "eyes" it should just cut to them up there ... or possibly have some establishing shot of where they're heading again that slowly zooms into the area, possibly with the well of souls music in the background, then cuts to them in the entrance ... where the stupid reference to the torches recently being lit should cease to exist.

I hate this scene as well. Just seems pointless. Is anyone currently working on the edit?

Hmm, the extra mouth movements sometimes make the rest of Yoda's face look static. It's still interesting to see though.

 

 Some work on the eyelids and eyes would probably help.

DarthBo said:

But I'm not sure if I like this new Yoda. There's no denying it looks more "real" now, but I've known Yoda as a puppet my entire life... he looks so different now, it jumps out to me. Yoda isn't a background character like the aliens in the cantina scene, he's a main character... I doubt changes to his look will ever be subtle.

 I think what Ady did with Yoda is very subtle. However, there may be room for toning it down just a tiny, tiny bit.

bkev said:

Well... keep in mind I'm just one person, but I think it makes it seem a little faker.  Yoda doesn't need any work done on him.  At least, I think so; right now, that kinda screams "let's do it because we can" - which is what was wrong with the original SEs.

To each his own of course.  As always, the color correction is great.


I really don't think this is a "let's do it because we can" thing. It really elevates the reality of an alien character, without using obvious CGI. I'm all for it if it's a subtle change for the better.

Well i can see the AT-AT debate still rages on. lol. Looks like i've got a lot of catching up to do. I'll reply to things that have been said a bit later when i get some spare time. But for now....

This is a clip i was hoping to post for Christmas but i didn't get a chance to finish it because of getting the damn flu. I have tweaked Yoda a bit. I've stuck to just the mouth movements because i don't feel the face needs anything. I have just tried to sync the lip movement more with what he is speaking.

Enjoy, and a Happy new Year

YODA TWEAKED -17mb approx XVID

 

 That's awesome, Ady. I think Yoda could use some subtle eyelid movement, but otherwise it's perfect!

Also, I think maybe he should move his eyes a bit more in certain scenes. Sometimes it kinda seems like his eyes are stuck facing forward. If you can subtly move his eyes a bit in these scenes, that would make him so much more lifelike.

Great job, Ady!
