adywan

David, i can really sympathise with what you are going through as i suffer with depression myself. Your story has really touched me. It's reasons like this why i keep working on my edits. I really wish George would see sense and restore the originals instead of wishing they never existed and doing everything he can to make sure they fade away in favour of his Special Editions.

Thank you for taking your time out to let me know your story and i am so glad that my edit could lift your spirits.

All the best :)

Sorry i haven't replied sooner but i've only just come across this thread as i have been staying away from the PC recently as much as possible.

What tools and methods are you using to create this as you haven't given any information? I noticed you mentioned that the program you used to rip the DVD couldn't do 5.1. Any DVD ripper worth using can rip the AC3 5.1 audio track without problems so i would ditch that program as soon as you can. Are you re-encoding the video too when ripping? If so what codec are you using and are you removing the 2:3 pulldown on the DVD? Another thing you haven't mentioned is your method of upscaling the DVD to your HD format

The main problem i see is the huge jump in quality between the 1080p source and an upscaled DVD. Even using the uncompressed source files i created for the reconstruction DVD it was too much of a jump for me between quality differences and that was at 720p, so it would be even more at 1080p (i am using 1080p because that is the res your screenshots are). And you are using a re-compressed 480p source that has already lost some detail. I was working @ 1024x576 and then scaled down for the DVD so there is some quality in resolution lost already. I wouldn't even be able to make these shots available because the uncompressed files are HUGE so uploading them would be a problem especially with my limited bandwidth. For example that wampa cave shot is just under 1GB.

Here are some screenshots that are upscaled to 1080p from my original files and i added links to the screengrabs you posted too so if each one is opened in a new window/tab you can easily switch between them and clearly see what i mean

Your Wampa cave
Wampa cave upscaled from original source file

Your removed window
Removed window upscaled from original source file

Your apartment matte
Apartment matte from original source file upscaled

As you can see the quality difference is very noticeable. This isn't anything against what you are doing but a result in having to use lower res/ compressed source.

Another thing i noticed is there is a colour difference between the original colour in the DVD and the files you posted, especially in the wampa cave. Is this due to the program you are using or have you altered the colour in any way?

What SE scenes are you keeping in because you haven't mentioned that also.

Please don't think i am knocking what you are doing in any way at all, because i'm not.

There's one detail I think all of you may have missed on those two pics posted. The lighting on the clouds as we face the storm troopers is back lit and they should not be back lit. They should only be back lit when we see the falcon take off.

I used a bit of artistic licence with that shot. Having it 100% correct with the clouds dark, it became a bit lifeless and plain. It needed that bit of colour so i'm not bothered that it isn't fully correct.

Now for the apartment centre circle. I tried the shot with the circle blocked out and i really didn't like it. Not only does recolouring it show up the bad rotoscoping they did for the SE more than it does now but it just didn't look right. There is no chance of using the GOUT for that shot because the quality in that shot is awful. I think the ceiling being full open looks better so i will be keeping it the way it is

RoccondilRinon said:

Also guys: remember that the shadow on the wall isn't of the circle in the middle of the ceiling.

Exactly. It's never bothered me for 30 years that the shadow is wrong and that the centre circle looked like it was meant to be the sky because of its blue colouring. I prefer the window to be open here.

ImperialFighter said:

Having loved Darth Editous's version, it was really neat to see your own 'test' preview of the 'zoom-in' towards the 'Vane'/'Pod' adywan.  Like DE's, it gives the original matte shot a real sense of life now, and your movement looks tremendous.

However, I'm wondering if your preview means that you aren't doing your original 'model set' idea anymore?  Or is that still a possibility?  Thing is, if you are now keeping the original matte of the 'Vane'/'Pod' as it is as shown in shot 1 below....does this mean that the current problems will have to remain?  Such as where it's outermost edge seems thinner all the way around in shot 1 compared to the 'gradually thickening' towards the base of it in shots 2, 3, and 4....along with the fact that the 'angled' bend of the front top-half as seen in shots 2 and 3 are different to shot 1 too.  These issues have been brought up before, but I'm just curious, although your previewed effect is certainly a huge improvement to the way the original shot looks -

Well the matte has gone though a few modifications since the preview. The gantry and walkway have been shrunk, along with the window and the sphere at the top has been made larger and had a few modifications. The scale as it stands now makes the chance that the carbon chamber could be at the top of the structure more believable.

Here it is in 720p mp4.

http://rapidshare.com/files/394232412/gantry_finished.mp4

And no, i won't be putting this on Youtube and i really don't want anyone else to either. I'm so fed up with how crappy youtube makes the videos look with their recompression. The last video looked like crap yet i uploaded the exact same one to facebook and it looked great. It's only a small download anyway.

ImperialFighter said:

One last thing, in shots 10 and 11 the 'grate' that closed behind Luke in front of the tunnel exit in shots 7 and 8 seems to be missing now.... 

That is being fixed :D

-Angel

Unfortunately it's not any more. Not only was tracking the shot a nightmare but the smoke at the end of the shot created all sorts of problems as it flows over the section where the grate needed to be and with the tunnel being in view when the smoke passes it i just couldn't add the grate.

Yeh, ESB:R has been a real struggle. So many things have happened i'm surprised i haven't gone mad. I can't believe that i've got to wait until the end of next week before i can get an appointment to see the doctor because they don't class it as an emergency. Oh well, i'll just have to suffer these headaches a bit longer.

i wouldn't bother with the sample as it was only a test mini AVCHD structure to test if your player would be able to play AVCHD's and it has nothing to do with how the quality of the releases are.

Bewy said:

Well I don't believe this has been mentioned before (been reading the thread for about 2 years), but I was watching this wonderful theatrical reconstruction and I came across this:

If you look on the left of the picture, you can see... Lando. But was he not gone to open the top hatch? Has it been already fixed, or was it never noticed before? x)

yeh that's been fixed.

Have you also noticed that it's a flipped shot. Just look at the door in the background in the original shot. The lights are on the incorrect side of the sliver panel. As you can see, that's been fixed also :)

EyeShotFirst said:

Adywan has a bad migraine and is experiencing what I hope is "temporary" blindness.

Yes, that was really scary. I get rarely get migraines but when i do it knocks me for six but i've never had the blindness issue happen before. Still being knocked about by the migraines though, which is odd, and haven't been out of bed much in the past few days.

AuggieBenDoggie said:

Just curious though, but the part where Lando addresses the city, and we cut to the SE shot of the crowd outside listening, the over all contrast of that scene seems to be a little bit on the light side. Now I don't know how much real-time passes between that moment, up until we see Lando and company blast off in the Falcon, I'm guessing just a couple of mineuts. If it is just a few mineuts, shouldn't contrast of crowd listening to lando address the city be pretty much the same as when the Falcon blasts off?

Just an observation thats all....

I think that there is a large part of time that passes between Lando's address and them reaching the Falcon. This is how i see it: The first door they go to when he addresses the city is where Lando's ship is docked. But they can't get to it so Lando then decides to head for the Falcon, which is in a different part of the city. Now he's only just addressed the city but in the next shot we see people running with some of their belongings. A bit too quick for them to have heard the announcement, gathered their stuff and started escaping,  to be happening immediately after the announcement.

DarthBo said:

Is he also removing the center window?

I really don't know what they were going for in the original version. if the outer rings are supposed to show the sky then why on earth did they paint the centre circle blue? This only caused confusion for a lot of people and made it look like a mismatched bluescreen element that was supposed to be the sky. This is one thing i'm actually glad they changed in the SE, even though the rotoscoping wasn't too good. But i won't be returning it to a solid space even with the shadow problem as the GOUT is really bad quality in this shot as i found out when trying to combine the 2004 with the GOUT for this shot for my Theatrical version. There are unfortunately no good shots of this set so you can see the exact structure so its all guess work really. I did find a small pic in the Art of ESB book that shows a little extra

It looks like there is a centre cylindrical structure that rises from blue circle in the roof.

Many of the structures/ sets make no logical sense throughout the film. Scales are wrong, positions and outsides incompatible. So i've decided not to bother with all that stuff. It's just too much of a headache to even attempt to fix.

ben_danger said:

i can't stop looking at the flyby shot of the gantry, and get goosebumps every time.

what would people think to inserting a small shot during the duel, from a distance?

maybe not from such a distance, and would probably work only as they exited the building part.

 

An interesting idea but i don't think we really need another faraway shot as we really need to stay close to the action during this scene

Zak said:

But if we assume that the sky is moving let's say, east in the first shoot than it is not moving east in the second (in the video). There sky changes the direction it's moving in. I could be wrong but it looks like this (excuse the crude image):

 

I've never known a sky move in a direction like that. Here's my interpretation of your pic that shows that there is nothing wrong with the cloud movement between shots.

Now an easy way to prove this is this:

Go outside on a cloudy day, not a stormy day, when you can clearly see the clouds moving. Now you need to stand in a potion that you can see the clouds both in front and behind you. Now stand so that the clouds are moving in your vision from left to right (as they are in the first shot) now turn exactly 180 degrees and now you can see that the clouds are moving from right to left.

Thanks guys. Getting it now. Shame they only did ANH

Is the Reivax version better quality than the TB version of the '97 trilogy? If so is there any chance somebody could make these available? They would be invaluable for my edits

Thats really bad news. I can't imagine how you're feeling right now after all the work you have put into it. I take it they were doing a software recovery process. But there may still be a way if you get the drive back. If you can find someone who has an identical drive that wouldn't mind donating it then you could try swapping the main circuit board as this is one of the most common things to go before the actual platter arms do. I know it's a long shot but it may be worth a try.

Jeyl said:

So.....the blank shells stay?

As Kurgan said they add more realism. It makes the guns look like they are actually firing, which is more than can be said about the PT blasters. God, when Natalie portman is firing the blaster in AOTC it looks like she just can't be bothered to put any effort into it and it makes all the blaster battles look totally fake. So the shells will be staying.

elmshield said:

hey just been catching up and saw the new clip.  impressive..

just happens to be the one part in the film i've posted on previously - i suggested that once lando put out the warning it should go onto a continuous repeat so if you were, let's say....drying your hair or hammering a nail in something.. you may have missed what is quite an important, yet short message.  it would make sense to put it on repeat.  it could just be going on in the background while chewie kills lots of stormtroopers.

the last time i mentioned this, my post was lost in what was quite a heated debate about copyright issues and was ignored by all.  just a good time to mention it again i think.

unless you all think it's a rubbish idea.  if that's the case, then feel free to ignore it again!  :oD

really looking forward to seeing the full film.

I think it would be a distraction to have the same short message repeated over and over, even if it is in the background. It would become very irritating after a while and the focus should be on whats happening in the scene and not something going on in the background.

mfastx said:

Seriously, there is no reason to kill off anyone in ROTJ.  The MAIN CHARACTER OF THE ENTIRE SAGA dies... isn' t that enough? Luke has just lost his father, I think he's lost enough for one movie. 

Well Vader was not one of the heros of the OT saga and it would have added something to  ROTJ if one of the main characters was killed off, which that film really needed something. Harrison Ford wanted it to be Han early on in the movie and then there was suggestions that it should be Lando. I'm actually all for someone killing off one of the heroes in ROTJ, so maybe i wasn't joking after all;)

God i love controversy.

Nicholas J. Michalak said:

Ady, mind if I ask a technical question?  How do you go about draining all those blue hues out of the film?  I've tried everything I have in Final Cut Pro.  Is it something that can be done in an NLE, or do you have to run through it a separate program?  I ask because I'd like to do this with my prequel edits.  Thanks much.

-NJM

I did a first pass colour correction in Sony Vegas and then switched to After Effects to do the bulk of it. I use the Hue/saturation filter which lets you control the levels for each colour separately, which is invaluable when working on one of the 2004 transfers.  But i had to do a lot of masking of areas to retain a colour where in other areas of a shot it needed to be altered or removed. I'll be moving the whole part of the colour correction over to after effects now as it does have a lot more control

thorr said:

Are there any plans to remove the lines on the ground when C3PO is dragged by R2D2?  I am sure this has been brought up before, but I just saw the new clip and nothing appears to be done with it.  This always took me out of the experience and reminded me I was watching a movie because I felt like they did that shot several times to get it right and every time they attempted the shot, they left a groove mark.

Great clip though!

Mike

You can't see the lines until 3P0 is being dragged over the top of them so i have never been able to see why a lot of people think this is a mistake and something that needs fixing. Looking at that shot frame by frame it does indeed look like that 3P0 is making those scratch marks and they were not there before. So no fix needed here

Hmm, don't seem to remember owning a droid... I mean remember showing a clip I called a preview... anyway http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H1TQ11frJ0A was pretty much finalised as far I'm concerned (though it'll need HDing for any new release I make). Comparison version is there as a response.

Sorry, i though i remembered you or someone saying it was a preview/test shot, but i guess that was 4 years ago now

zombie84 said:

Actually, the issue I have more than anything is the color correction. Well, the image characteristics, anyway. The colors are fantastic. Hoth is white, but I'm glad to see that there is some blue in there, because there should be a tiny bit of blue in some of the shadows in certain scenes as far as I can tell, same with some of the Bespin duel. The issue really is one of contrast. The image is way too punchy. It looks like its the 2004 DI with balanced colors but nothing else. Usually it looks quite nice and makes the image seem sharper, but the black levels gobble up detail, the contrast is about 10-20% higher than it should be, and certain scenes have strange balances, for instance Dagobah seems to be a lot brighter (and blue/green-er, compared with the GOUT, which I still hold as the most reliable color reference; strangely some scenes here looks LESS contrasty than the GOUT). I'm being extremely nitpicky here, of course--this transfer is so good that any complaints have to be! If there ever is a 2.0 version of this done, it would be nice to have the midrange a tad brighter in most scenes to reflect the original photography. ESB was always the most contrasty in its lighting, but it was never quite this extreme.

Yeh, this is a major problem with the 2004 transfer. For some reason they brightened up ESB way too much and in many shots completely destroyed details in the brighter areas. Same problem with the crushed blacks. Unfortunately there really isn't anything that can be done with these transfers to rectify this. trying to bring out detail in the darker areas just brings out more problems with very bad video noise in these areas, which is something that OCP's classic editions suffered with badly. The GOUT also isn't a very good indication of the true colouring, but is a lot closer than the crappy 2004 colours. The GOUT has a red shift, whereas the 2004 has a cyan.

msycamore said:

 

I'm sure you already know this and you've also said yourself it wasn't a 100% reconstruction but I just wanted to point these small things out if you consider to improve it sometime.

Also...which movie is the old Fox logo taken from? It looks great.

Anyway, thanks for a wonderful reconstruction!

This was always going to be more of a representation more than a restoration. I started this thing around May 5th and has just over 2 weeks to get this all the work done and  ready for the 30th anniversary, which really gave me no time at all. So some of the smaller changes and the fonts weren't one of the top priority when doing this. Some of the FX work took a lot longer than i had hoped which meant i had no time to do some of the smaller stuff, but i wasn't really too bothered about that to be honest.

The Fox logo was taken from Movealong's "the story of the Empire Strikes Back" DVD and i think he may have got this from the film Bus Stop, but i'm not 100% on that

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iKPAFQxV1xw

If you can watch it on the ESB:R facebook group then i would recommend it as youtube video quality really sucks and has taken out all the detail

Judge said:

Are you referring to the medals changing sides? I'm fairly certain Ady said he was going to fix that. He did in ANH:R, as well... I think.

These were fixed in the 2004 version. As this was a theatrical recreation is used the flipped version i used for my '97 AVCHD

hairy_hen said:

Can anyone comment on the lightsabers during the Dagobah cave scene?  One of the problems I have with the '04 transfer is that the sabers are extremely dull and washed out during this part--compare with the GOUT and find piercing white cores and vibrant blade colours, as it should be.  The difference is striking, with the GOUT being the clear winner, with the '04 being pretty terrible.  Has any attempt been made to correct this?  Anyone have any screenshots of this scene?

Unfortunately the only way to recover most of the cores and glows would be through completely re-rotoscoping the lightsabers. I managed to brighten up many of the cores through the colour correction but some just couldn't be done this way.

Lord__Vader said:

BTW. while making that video I noticed the whole wampa scene is a lot bluer in the reconstruction than the AVCHD. Why's that Ady?

well there is the shot of Luke when he flops down after trying to free his feet which was split into 2 sections for the SE and the problem was that there were about 5 missing frames. I had reconstructed whole this with the missing frames in that shot for ESB:R (and i didn't use the GOUT for the missing frames) so i just downscaled that from 720p to 480p and used the version from revisited, which has more of the blue still intact because i'd stripped a little too much out of the cave scene in the AVCHD. I see you have stripped all of the blue out of that shot in your video.

Now the video on youtube really can't be used to show that you can't really see much of a difference between the low & hi-res sources because of its crappy low bitrates. the artefacts due to youtubes very low bitrate compression masks a lot of the detail in a HD video so the transition wouldn't be as noticeable.  The scene you want to try is the Lando announcement one, but not just place the shots that were blended together in but actually start by using a HD source for the transition. Then you really do notice a huge jump in quality. Plus you will see the problems i went through with trying to match the HD to the GOUT so i could blend in certain element because there is so much frame distortion between the two its just not a simple thing like join the two together.

And both the AVCHD & this theatrical version were never pretending to be 100% accurate versions which is why i left the "Han's shirt" shot alone. I might change this if i do decide to do a DL version, but i'm a bit bogged down with Revisited and other things at the moment to do a DL version just yet.

Since this will apparently be the last version from Ady with blue-ties, I second the motion for "BT, MU, and RS uploads soon, pretty please." ;)

I will only be uploading it to newsgroups as i stay well clear of torrents. With it only being a DVD-5 the free giganews or other trials should be sufficient to grab this.

Well screw that (sides, how many free trials will it take to get every new fan edit/preservation that comes out?). I'll wait for the free megaupload or rapidshare uploads, much easier than giving them your cc # and having to cancel before the end of the "trial" just for one file.

 

I hope those aren't on your blacklist too... (and jdownloader makes it really easy) ;)

well i am so sorry if i made things difficult for you. After all i only took time out of my personal life to work on this thing and make it available for free. I should have been more thoughtful about just how difficult it would have been to grab a free account and then torturous task of having to cancel it before the free trial ended. I really should have taken in to consideration that uploading this movie somewhere that would be both the most convenient and safest route for me would be so inconvenient for someone else. I will try harder next time and upload to every "free" place and completely tie up my internet connection for many days that is not only used by me but also my wife and kids. But i realise that you are more important and i am sorry and will be more thoughtful next time

Sheesh.

Usenet is the safest way for someone to share their work. No one has ever been prosecuted  for uploading to usenet. The MPAA and its associated counterpart here in the UK are prosecuting people who use torrents all the time. Over here now if you get reported then you will soon be banned for life from ever having the internet, be slapped with a huge fine and could also face a spell in jail. I am not prepared to risk that so i refuse to use torrents.  Rapidshare are well known to pass on users information and their uploading activities if requested after a complaint so i refuse to use that route to upload anything but some short clips. Megaupload isn't any better. So maybe you should think about that before saying crap like "screw that" just because i have uploaded to somewhere that doesn't suit you

Nick, i'm loving those covers. Can't wait until you make them available

Ziz said:

Ok, I grabbed the DLCs from paradox, loaded them into Jdownloader and just finished getting everything.  Now, when I run QuickPar on the audio fix, it says I'm missing the part01.rar file for it.  Was there something wrong with the DLC that it didn't have the link to it?  Where can I get the missing file?

check the comments at tehparadox as i've added a link to the missing part1.rar. For some reason i'm no longer blocked :)

zombie84 said:

Wouldn't uprezing a standard def file have about the same effect as just upscaling from your player? Or was this downcoverted from an HD source in the first place?

I used the 1080p master file that i used for the SE AVCHD and downscaled this to 480p.

Now unfortunately doing a HD version just won't work. Downscaling the 1080p colour corrected master to 720p still retains most of the detail, but upscaling the GOUT to 720p just really brings out just how bad the quality is when spliced in with 720p video. It just doesn't blend in at all. So the DVD version is all there will be, i'm afraid

She kissed him, but they weren't passionate kisses. Looked like a friend kiss to me. So Luke was in the friend zone.

Do you grab your friends' heads and give them a good three-second long kiss often?

 

And even if they didn't know, that doesn't make it better for the viewer.  Anyways, I don't think I'm gonna win this one.

nothing wrong with the kiss. And, yes, i've done that plenty of time to female friends especially as a joke or to wind someone up, which is exactly what Leia was doing to Han. The kiss will be staying

rpvee said:

Also, just noticed that after 3P0 identifies the probe droid's code as possibly being an Imperial one, in the next shot he is suddenly facing away from the group again as if he never spoke.  Is this being fixed?

Better check the scene again. 3P0 is in exactly the same position at the end of the first shot as he is in the next and then he turns away.  Nothing to fix there

rpvee said:

Another note: If the Empire destroys the power generator, shouldn't the lights in the base go out?

It's the shield generator  and not the power generator.

Lord__Vader said:

And what about the making of doc? For TESB:R there will be life shooting, model shooting, a lot of visually impresive SG work, I think it would make for an intresting fan documentary. It wouldn't have to be made by Adywan, who will probably want a bit of a break, after finishing his masterpiece, but he could entrust the footage to some of the documentary experts here :-) A complete supplementary disc would be just awesome.

I've mentioned this many times and very recent too that there will be a making of doc as part of a special features disc

Ady will you add some bespin buildings behind the falcon? Since there are no smokes to cover it :)

Also the lights on the top right corner are off. The hall when leia is  have the lights on. Will you fix this?

No, i'm not adding the buildings. But i didn't spot that the lights were our in that shot so i'll fix that

Excellent as usual ady, really fantastic, that promising a masterpiece ESB, a remarq thow about the high speed moving cloud when stormtroopers fires the falcon ? is too speed or no ? what do you thing ?

again thanks ady.

The clouds are going at the same speed in both shots.

I did notice a few squib marks on the walls that need removing before the shots hit- I assumed you hadn't done it yet, and sure enough that's the case. Thanks for clarifying!

Just checked the sequence again and i can't find any squib marks that need removing

They have just deleted me too and haven't been inactive there. Not even a PM to warn anyone.

ZeN said:

Hmm so I'm registered with tehparadox, also see the link, but can not download, it does nothing in jdownloader.

Is probably because I have no Usenext account etc..
, I find it very sad that this will only run about anywhere you have to give his data, account numbers, etc. that I do not like!

If someone wants to offer me another way via PM, I would be very grateful!

start Jdownloader then once this is done copy both the links over at tehparadox separately and they should load into  load into jdownloader. You should see 2 dlc files loaded up. Now  click on "continue with all" and this will download the dlc files. Once this is done you jdownloader should automatically import these 2 files and give you the full set of links. if not you will need to manually import the 2 files you have just downloaded back into jdownloader (just go to your top menu bar and select "links> add links>add container") and this will give you the full set of links for the movie and audio fix.  The audio fix isn't really necessary as it only removes 1 sound effect that was left over from the Special edition. Now click "continue with all" at the bottom again  and the links will start downloading.

Sedelaire said:

Hello,

I am new here, but have been reading for a long time now.

I have downloaded it and it is really great.

But I have a problem with the audio fix, I can't open it, because there is no part01.rar-file. How many files are supposed to be in the audio fix (mine has 14) and what do I do with .par2 files?

Any help would really be appreciated.

yes, just download and install quickpar then open one of the par2 files with it and it will scan all the files and there should be enough par2 files to repair the missing file

Lord__Vader said:

I really hope Adywan will share some info about the production of this.

Oh, and I suppose the answer to my question if this is gonna be available in HD is "no" ? Well, no matter, it's awsome as it is, at leats as source :-)

Thanks again, Ady.

I'm testing out the possibility of doing a 720p version but only if the lower quality footage blends in to my satisfaction

god i'm pissed. I've just come across a video on youtube that's really got me angry. This is using my trailer to try and get people to visit their website supposedly to watch EPIV:Revisited and other moveis for free (i'm pretty sure it's free anyway without the help of this site) but when you get to the site you have to complete a survey first and that means that they will be getting paid to get people to take the surveys. Spam crap. and to top it all  youtube are refusing to remove it. They even have some fake ass shit before and after the video that says that youtube removed the video due to copyright.

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

Everyone spam the shit out of their comments box and report this user

Well the good thing is that SKY1HD is airing the finale simultaneously with the US broadcast so i don't have to worry about someone on the net spoiling it for me :) Bad thing is that its at 5am :( oh well, another sleepless night won't hurt

But i think it will just leave a lot of questions unanswered

Just wondering though... the stormtrooper that gets hit just before the scene where 3PO bumps his head on the Falcon, it looks like there's a black mark on his chest before he gets hit.  Had you noticed it?  If so, was it not possible to eliminate?  Or am I not seeing things correctly?

I haven't erased all the squib marks yet. There's another very quick close up shot a bit later in that sequence where the squib is clearly visible. But i wanted to get the majority of the shots finished so i could get this clip uploaded for the 21st, so i'll be fixing all the other tiny things later.

Thanx for a great clip Ady; but on the end of it the new sky moves in opposite direction! 

hmmm, no it doesn't
