1. You were correct in flipping the starfield- I’d like it to pan down instead of up.
2. The title and episode number is fine- I was only talking about removing them for Episode I, which is a long time from now
3. I was wondering if you could change the coloring of the crawl to match the more yellowish color of the original trilogy crawls (for more consistency). As an aside, I learned that even the official PAL discs actually contain a yellow version of the crawl.
4. Justification- I think I’m one of the only people that cares about this (even the official crawls don’t do this), but when the text is justified, some lines only have three or four words on them and are very “spacey”. Right above them, however, is a line packed with six or seven little words. What I did when I did a prototype for the crawl was I nudged a word or two off of the packed line so that the badly justified line would have more words and things would look more evenly spaced. Apparently, there’s a way to do this automatically in Adobe Illustrator, but I just did it manually with the space bar. So for example (if we were using this crawl), I would use the space bar to nudge “of” to the second line.
5. The new crawl is as follows:
Episode II
SHROUD OF THE DARK SIDE
Ten years after Palpatine assumed power of the Galactic Senate, unrest once again pervades the galaxy. Several thousand systems intend to secede from the Republic.
These separatist traitors, led by the mysterious Count Dooku, have made it especially difficult for the limited number of Jedi Knights to maintain peace and order in the galaxy.
Queen Amidala, now serving as Senator of Naboo, is en route to Coruscant to vote on the critical issue of creating an ARMY OF THE REPUBLIC to support the overwhelmed Jedi….
6. I was also wondering, if it wouldn’t be too much trouble, if you could send me the template, settings, etc. and also how you would do this in Blender or 3dStudioMax, Illustrator, or whatever you’re using, because I have the tools and the fonts necessary to do these myself, but I don’t know how. Maybe in the future I could create my own crawls!
What you’ve done so far looks fantastic and very much the real thing! I will PM you after it is completed so we can figure out file formats, and how I can receive the crawl (split .rar through email, a link to free filespace, etc.)
Thanks so much! (and by the way, I’ll need your full name because you’ve just put yourself in the end credits)
I’ll try yousendit.com first, and if that doesn’t work, I’ll try a couple of others. I have a very slow connection at home, so what I’ll do is put the video clips on a USB drive, bring them to my library (with DSL), and upload them there. I might post links to video clips, images, notes, audio clips, or any number of other things in the future. Here are some things I could post soon:
