well i didn't get much done last night and today because i went to my daughters BBQ yesterday and i have the mother of all hangovers today. The chances of getting any of the BTS footage into the clip is almost none existent. But i will still post the clip later tonight. i've just one shot to finish because i had forgotten to remove the footprints in the snow when the probe crashes. so it will be a few hours away yet but should only be 4 to 5 hours before it gets posted

^^ That's awesome.............I wasn't expecting it so soon. Thanks AdY! And I'm sure it'll look fine bTw. Now I'll be checking in on the board every few hours, lol.

It's only going to be the first reveal at the beginning of the movie. i'll leave the cave sequence for its final release

wow, my comments really stirred something up with the PT crowd.

Dangerous Incorporated said:

I dont think the PT should really be touched that much. If you dont like them then dont watch them let alone re-edit them. It sounds like your planning on sabotaging them Ady.

Dangerous Incorporated said:

Obviously if Im saying that he shouldnt watch them if he doesnt like them then Im not going to watch his Revisit of the PT if he ends up sabotaging it based on his dislike for them. If he doesnt like them then why touch them? Its not that hard a concept to grasp I dont think. He just should stick to the OT and not watch the PT just as I wont watch his PT if he sabotages them based on his dislike for them.

Dangerous Incorporated said:
DarkFather said:

Because he sees the potential there to make something decent, via hard work in editing.

"It's not that hard a concept to grasp"

Not at the expense of damaging the movie though. Ripping them apart as he puts it doesnt sound positive. Anyway I was over this 2 posts ago but some of you SW fans can really hold a grudge!! None of this is ESB related.

 gawd you depress me so much when you say things like that. I love ANHR and ESBR seems to be right on track as far as quality and vision goes. Yet your vision of the pequels seems to be the same as everyone elses and that means gutting them. With everything you've said that you are taking out of the prequels there doesnt seem to be enough material left for one movie, let alone three. Im just sad I wont have a revisited prequel trilogy to go along with the OTR.

Sevb32 said:

I think some people have huge adult egos that when anything slapstick or childlike, their "I'm an ADULT and too sophisticated to enjoy that" ego prevents them from liking it.

 

Than being said, if you added up all the slapsticky moments in TPM they would likely take up less than 2 minutes screentime.

 

ok, where the hell does it say that i don't like the PT? i have NEVER stated that i hate it anywhere. In fact i have, on numerous occasions, stated that i do somewhat enjoy the PT but that they just don't fit with the feel of the OT and that they are substandard movies compared to the OT. This is a fact. The PT will NEVER be looked upon as classic movies the same way that the OT was. Adult egos preventing people from liking them? are you serious? i'm totally fed up with a minority trying to make excuses as to why the PT is hated so much. If this was supposed to be the reason why the PT is hated so much and why i think they are bad movies then why the hell am i enjoying the clone wars series so much? isn't that aimed at a younger audience? That threw that crappy reason right out the window didn't it? If i hated the PT so much then why would i be willing to sacrifice at least 6 years of my life to work on them?

There is good in them. they have only forgotten their true self

They are bad movies that really screwed up the Star Wars universe. Its as if they were made by two completely different people. the guy who made the PT would be one that had never watched the OT which caused him to make so many mistakes that it was embarrassing. then he goes back to the other guys movies and changes those so his fit in better even though they were made many years later. It has nothing to do with "adult egos" as you say. if that's the case then why do so many kids love the OT but think the PT is garbage? If i hated the PT so much as you say then why the hell would i have kept the "episode IV" title in ANH? surely i could have changed that to "Episode I" which would have eliminated the PT totally from Revisited.

The two trilogies just don't mesh together. It has nothing to do with visuals but the style in which the PT was edited, written and directed. In the OT the story and humour can appeal to both kids and adult alike. So why doesn't the PT? because the whole trilogy talks down to the audience. Why is everything explained so much all the time. Does he think the audience won't get it unless its completely spelt out at the expense of the movie? Just look at Ric Olie in TPM. he's almost a narrator. why does he have to explain everything that is going on when we can plainly see that?

"there's the blockade"... duh, yes we can see that
"That's it. Tatooine".. why bother saying that at all? we have been told a few times already that they are heading for Tatooine and now when he says this we have seen the planet. yeh so Luke may have explained that what we see was dagobah but it was part of a conversation with R2 and placed as a reply not an obvious and unneeded statement
Courscant. the entire planet is one big city. There's Chancellor Vallorum's shuttle. and look over there. Senator Palpatine is waiting for us.".... Is this one of those read along books or a movie. The visuals clearly show whats going on. talking down to the audience at the worse level here. Chancellor vallorum is introduced by palpatine so no need for Ric Olie to say who it is.

Its all this type of thing that ruins the movies for many people.

Now the humour is again totally different in the OT and the PT. OK ROTJ became a stepping stone for the low quality of humour we were to see in the PT. All the slapstick is too "in your face" and in many wrong places which ruins what is supposed to be a serious scene. Do we see any poop and fart jokes in the OT? No. Why? because the humour was of a higher calibre aimed at both kids and adults. i can almost see Lucas when he was writing it saying to himself.."lets make that creature fart" or " jar jar can step in a pile of crap. that will get a laugh for sure". Again this has nothing to do with so called "adult egos"

Now the main problem, apart from the acting & directing, is the editing. And this is what i meant by "ripping apart the PT". study the OT and the editing is tight. it never lingers on something longer than it should. now we get to the PT and so many times can you see where a scene or shot shout end but it lingers before the wipe or scene cut. You only have to check out the article about the "lost cut" of ANH to see just how different this movie could be if GL had edited the movie to his vision. You can see it HERE. You can also see GL's style when viewing the whole cantina scene that was from the Lost cut on the Behind the magic CD-ROM. The acting wasn't great in ANH but the editing turned what could have been a disaster into the great movie it became. You actually get a PT feel when you watch the lost cut footage or read the article descriptions of the editing. Can editing alone save these movies? no. but it can go a long way.

Now another thing that takes away the feel of the OT is the accents. In the OT the accents were British and American. Now in the PT we have all forms of accents for the creatures. its was as if they were too lazy to design a different sound for a creature that they went with over the top accents. It was obvious when they switched from studio filming in the UK to Australia and that changed the feel even more so. The Kiwi accent just didn't fit in the movies and that is nothing against that accent at all. You have all the clone troopers, who are supposed to be the link between the PT & the OT in that these were the PT's stormtroopers, speaking without an American accent. And please don't get me started on the abomination that was changing Boba Fetts voice in ESB just to try and fix the mess the PT created. Jango & Boba will have an American accent in the PT revisited, along with all the clone troopers but the troopers won't be all from Jango fett so will sound different, again helping the PT to tie in with the OT without having all the crappy EU stuff attempting to explain all this.this is nothing against other accents though. its all to do with what sounds right and what fits in. if i was just changing it because i have a problem with other accents then surely i would change all the accents to British?

If you don't want to watch my Revisited edits for the PT then no one is forcing you too. i certainly ain't going to lose any sleep if the PT lovers think i'm sabotaging their precious movies. GL has already done that for the rest of us. I got enough flack when i was doing ANH:R and then even more when it was released and still get it to this day. in the immortal words of Catherine Tate " Am i bovvered? Am i bovvered though? I ain't bovvered". Everyone has different tastes and i respect that but don't try to tell me that i'm sabotaging the PT by ripping it apart, even though you clearly knew nothing of what i have planned for those movies, or that i don't like them because of my adult ego when you know nothing about me or my viewing tastes and not expect me to defend these accusations, especially when you couldn't have pickled a worse time when i'm in so much agony i just want to rip something apart. lol

Now can we leave all this talk of the PT until i get round to Episode I please. there are already threads where you can discuss this. This is only for EPISODE V and anything that directly relates to this edit

One thing to remember though when making suggestions... Just because something is in the Pt doesn't mean that it should feature in the Revisited OT because there is a good chance that it will be omitted in the PT:R saga. as i have said before its the PT that should be changed to fit the OT and NOT the other way around

 

Now back on topic.....

I'm working on editing some of the BTS footage of the making of the wampa for the new clip. problem is that with my tooth gone and my voice changed somewhat with it missing i can't do the voice over i wanted to do so i may just leave out the BTS footage and just show the clip. But i did do some voice over while filming the clips so i may just use that. It will only be a short BTS and the full version including the filming of the new model and set elements will feature in full on the DVD-9 of ESB:R .I've got a bit of tweaking to do on the new wampa footage so it matched the original footage but so far it looks great. I've been able to articulate the mouth more than the original and also the face somewhat. But even though the sneak peak BTS footage may not make it to the final clip, you WILL get to see a brief glimpse of the new wampa. I've got to admit i'm pretty nervous about revealing this but i though it best to reveal it earlier just in case it doesn't work and i'm looking at it with too favourable eyes just because i built it. but anyway you'll see soon. hopefully it will be ready & online by tomorrow night  and maybe even earlier

i'm going to maybe add a faint saber glow on lukes face only in a couple of closeups. the whole glow issue seems to have been overdone a bit in the PT but the bit where they swing the sabers around their heads in AOTC is going anyway so the other glows are so quick you hardly notice them anyway

R2's jets are also going in the PT so they won't be added in the OT. I hate all the bloody EU explanations for everything which is why all that crap is staying out of Revisited.

The rotating room is an interesting idea but just wouldn't work. i've been looking over that scene again and the scale of things is all messed up. the cloud car is too big when it reaches the building. either that or the lift on the side of the building is for midgets only. maybe it was the ugnaught only lift. lol. it does need a new matte. i was thinking about shrinking the window a bit but leia needs to be the focal point of that shot so that may not work. plus the window needs to be higher up on the building because the interior ceiling is too low down. Is it worth all the extra work to try and sort out the continuity mess though? i'm not so sure at the moment.

i won't be changing the way the xwing sets down on dagobah when yoda lifts it out the water. i've never had a problem with that scene.

on another note i'm a bit cranky tonight because i just tried to rip my 2004 dvd bonus disc which i need for some stuff and it refuses to rip or even play now in my DVD player or PS3, yet there are no scratches. Not happy. i don't want to have to fork out another £30 odd just to get the bonus disc when i already have 2 copies of the 2004 set thanks to the GOUT. why couldn't this thing just have been sold separately

RE: Lightsaber reflections/glow

I remember discussing this back in the ANH:R days, especially in regards to Ben in the Cantina.  Someone did a mock-up that looked extremely convincing back then, but it was not to be incorporated into the final revision.  Maybe things have changed for Ady and he would want to give it a go this time around.  This is an effect I'm 100% in favor (or is that favour?).  As long as it is pulled off right (and this is Ady we're talking about, so I would expect nothing less), ambient glow bouncing off the environment would add more realism and cast a mood in certain scense, expecially inside the carbon freeze chamber.

If it's possible, I say do it!

yeh i remember that. there was a reason why i decided not to add the lighting into ANH:R and that was that if i had added it into ANH:R then i would need to add it into the other 5 movies. now i was looking ahead and this created all sorts of problems. mainly in ESB & ROTJ. Thats problem was Vader. it may look good when adding it to the human faces but there is a huge problem with Vader. the scenes are dark and there is no lighting on vaders mask in many of the shots. now to pull this thing off convincingly i would have to create a travelling matte of vaders helmet & face illuminated which is just too damn crazy to even attempt to pull off.  when the sabre glow hits vaders mask you would need to see the detail, which is none existent in most shots. while this would be possibly if he remain perfectly still, the only way to pull this off would be to create a 3d head and track every movement in every shot precisely then mask only the parts that need to be exposed. plus you would also have to match the trajectory of the lightsabre for the lighting on the 3d head.

this is why it wasn't in ANH:R and won't be featuring in th rest of the revisited saga i'm afraid.

plus if the lightsabres have to reflect upon its surrounding wouldn't that mean that i have to illuminate objects that laser blasts pass close too? i think it would. lol

i hope you all can see why i decided against it.

It's highly likely you will see clips from the duel in the trailer but i'm actually thinking of giving you all a sneak peak at the behind the scenes short that i'm making of the wampa next week. it may even feature the final wampa footage with the new puppet if all goes to plan.

yeh it would mean scrapping the whole exterior scenes which i don't want to do.  there's also another issue when you see the corridor view that is outside the door that Lando & Chewie enters

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us

as you can see there is another apartment entrance  next to leias and the window she is looking out of would actually be looking into the next door apartment. What a mess. i hate continuity issues...lol

so it needs a new matte that shows a smaller window and a matching one next to leias to help fix this issue to make the building look larger that it does at present

 

either that or just leave everything as it is which i'm more in favour of now.lol

yeh its the outdoor matte that is throwing everything out.  I've checked all the interior layout and have been able to map where the door that chewie and lando is in each shot. as you can see there is no way such a vast corridor , in fact no corridor at all, could be outside the second door that lando & chewie enters based on the exterior views. another nightmare. lol

And I hate to question you Ady, but are you sure that's where the window is:

I mean, the lighting must be all kinds of messed up since the shadows are on the back wall at the beginning, and now on the front or side?

EDIT: It looks like the corridor appeared along the back wall.  If you look at the shadows across the wall decor, they match perfectly with the establishing shot.  Maybe just insert that corridor in the first shot?

I overlayed the later shot over the establishing and confirmed:

yes i'm sure where the window should be logically but its not necessarily as it stands with the whole scene . if you turn that later shot into the same angle as the first one where han enters it creates a huge problem that chewie & Lando would both walk through a door that is at the side of the building which would lead directly to thin air and not to a vast corridor. the door behind han is actually the one that he originally entered from because you can see the plant by the side of the door but other door just wouldn't fit in its placement with what we see from the outside. neither the original or the SE matte helped with the confusion

The fact there is glass in the ceilng is not lost on me. Yes bright lighting would be possible with the skylights, but the scene with her and Han inside really isn't that bright. And from the outside it definitely would not be as bright as shown in the window.

 

your forgetting one thing. you're all going by the 2004 colouring and not my colour correction. as you can see here there is hardly any difference between the brightness of the room in both shots. all that may need doing is to very slightly darken the shadows inside for the exterior shot

and there is already a small reflection on the window but you need to view the scene moving to see it.

Just a quick update....

I've fixed Vader's helmet wobble on the vane. It was a real pain to do and a few sleepless nights.

Now to answer some of the things recently mentioned...

1. i won't be adding any more TIE's to the Falcons escape from Bespin or Hoth. There is just no need to add any more. The Empire isn't trying to destroy the Falcon so why would they send a whole squadron of TIEs after them? When they escape Bespin the TIE's are just herding the Falcon towards the Executor. 4 is plenty for this

2. When the falcon jumps to lightspeed the angle is perfect as it is. so there will be no change there.

Sevb32 said:

Ady, something else to look at where the mattes meet the set footage on the SD bridge. Can these be smoothed and blended more/better? Where Vader walks the floor looks white/light gray and it is darker where the matte begins on the floor.

actually the matte is pretty good at representing the set lighting. as you can see from this pic the floor part of the matte has the light area so the set would have been illuminated so that vader was in a sort of a spotlight so you focus is drawn more towards him which wouldn't have worked so well of the floor and surrounding were brightly illuminated equally.plus the window matte doesn't end where you have pointed but the matte ends at floor level so no blending problems.

Yes its just before Han enters the command center. It was shown on the 1997 theatrical release but removed on the VHS release.

Mmmm.   Not to sound doubtful, but the "I saw it once but it was cut out on the VHS/DVD" memory phenomenon seems to happen a lot in the SW community.

 

 

It wasnt just me but a group of us that went and noticed we had never seen that shot before but when the VHS came out it wasnt on it.

there was only ever one version of the 1997 theatrical SE which all prints were taken from. the VHS & laserdisc were exactly the same as the theatrical release as they were taken from those prints. there was never an extra shot added before han enters the command centre. there was a bootleg VHS copy of ESB SE floating around which was filmed in the cinema and there was no extra shots. it was exactly the same as the VHS which is why i never kept it.  This is the same type of thing that happened with ANH when people swear that they saw Luke miss with the grappling hook and that the Luke & Biggs scene was shown in theatres. memory is a funny thing.

 

Some Canadian theatrical prints of the 1997 "Special Edition" contained an added scene just before Han is shown entering the command centre on Hoth. The shot is inside the command centre and focusses on a "white C-3PO" using a penlight on a glass map. Then, the movie continues as normal and Han is shown entering the command centre. This scene was not present on the video release.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0080684/alternateversions

 

 I googled it and found on IMDB that there was a shot before Han entered the command center and that this isnt just me and my 5 friends thinking we remembered something. Its true that there was another scene.

Don't believe everything you read on IMDB. Anyone can add so called facts on this site. they add them all the time and many have been proved wrong.

Hi all. I've downloaded the DVD-9 version of revisited as well as the AVCHD versions and have had zero luck burning them to disk on OSX using Disk Utility. Thrown away quite a few disks.

 

The blu-ray file starts playing on my PS3 (NTSC version with the latest system updates) and gets into it about 5 seconds before it tells me "invalid disc".

 

The DL DVD-9 version of revisited plays but jumbles up all over the place. Starts a scene and then switches to the end credits. Next scene mixes video throughout the movie.

 

Suggestions? Anyone willing to post these 3 DVDs to me in return for postage and media costs? I'm in the USA.

this sounds like your using inferior DVD-s to me. only use Verbatim discs and burn at 2.4 speed and you should find they will play without problems

what's throwing this scene off is the fact that the helmet is underneath the chest plate armour for some reason. i'm going to leave it as it is though. It looks to me more that Vader had to quickly replace the helmet when Piette entered and that the suit isn't on correctly. Not only that but changing the helmet in a shot where he spins around in the chair probably couldn't be pulled off

TESB is unique in that all the imperial officers are wearing perfect rank badges and cylinders. For one who is into these things, its very easy to determine the ranks of for instance Piett, Ozzel or Veers by mearly looking at their rank badges. By comparison ANH's rank system is terribly vague, with officers wearing a confusing mixture of red, blue and yellow. And let's not even talk about the mess in ROTJ, were virtually everyone seems to have the same rank!

There is one officer that is wrong, though, and it seems like a shame when everyone else are perfect. He appears briefly as an extra without lines in Vader's first scene. As Ozzel and Piett are argueing and Vader is making his way over to join them, the camera pans down to the trench and an officer standing looking up at Vader. He is wearing the rank insignia of a navy captain, even though Piett is captain of the ship at that time. However, if another cylinder is added to his other cheast pocket, he becomes a commander instead, which would clear it all up.

I have mentioned this earlier some time ago, so forgive me ady if you've already addressed this, but I wanted to make sure it hadn't been forgotten in the ocean of posts here.

i won't be doing anything to the rank pins in ESB:R. this type of thing has never bothered me

Why shorten the Wampa scene?

HotRod said:

Cos it's shit!!

 

Why is it shit? The SE version is better than the original version.

Each to their own! As was said, its Adys edit. Thats like some models saying that they dont like to show their boobs as its better to leave it to the imagination but Id rather see the boobs. Just like here (no I dont wanna c the wampas boobs), Id prefer to see the wampa. If you were there, wouldnt it be scary seeing the wampa come after you? (Not if you're a future Jedi!)

Yes but weve seen what the Wampa looks like for years, kinda hard to put the cat back in the bag. I don't mind shortening the scene a bit, but to expect me or most people to forget all memory of what I saw hundreds of time is ridiculous

SE version better than the original? are you serious? All the added wampa footage takes away what should be the main focus of the scene... Luke. It originally focused solely on Luke with brief glimpses of the wampa approaching. The tension was built as Luke regained consciousness and began his escape just as the wampa reaches him. Now in the SE version the focus is shifted towards the Wampa. It takes away the whole mystery when the wampa is full on in your face throughout the scene.It has nothing to do with the fact that we have now seen the wampa so the mystery is gone at all. Plus it will eb a new Wampa in this movie anyway. lol

And Dangerous Incorporated can you please change your sig pic. Its way too big for the forum and its getting confusing when scrolling through for the mock-ups

Well this took me a while... working 1080p is fun :P

We can see the establishing shot that a X-wing is landed an R2 unit aproach the door and next shot luke its inside the building and R2 enters from behind.

again interesting but this would be an unnecessary addition

hey adywan, was curious how things were going...

Things are going ok at the moment. the shots i'm working on at the moment are taking up a lot of my time. they are just brief shots but each one is taking about 3 days solid to complete.

 

i've just changed the comparison pics on the first page because some of the shots have now changed. plus i added a couple more
