Nope, all wrong. I'll give you a clue. Its in the opening shot of the fleet

I wouldn't have noticed anything without you prompting me to look, but perchance is it the very blue TIE Bomber? And if so, do I get a prize? ;)
Nope, wrong ;)
I still can't believe that, after posting the fleet reveal a couple of times, not one single person has commented on the deliberate error i added just to see how observant people really are (although it can be forgiven thanks to the faded GOUT and the terrible colours of the Blu-Ray). So, come on guys, what is wrong in the reveal scene? ;)

I've hit a roadblock. No matter how close I follow Ady's excellent directions/settings, I get framerate issues all over. Repeated frames, missing frames. I don't get it. And I only have 17 days left in my Sony Vegas trial.
Someone else may have to take up the reigns of this project. I started doing the framing to the 2004 version, but I later decided that I would just need to do my own version, especially after hearing about all of the different ones from KM.
If you are using the NTSC version then you need to remove the pulldown first. This is causing the frame issues. Vegas is pretty crap for removing any pulldown and versions after 7 are also pretty buggy when working with Mpeg files. I'd recommend converting it to lossless avi. Also if you are doing it as pan and scan then you're better off rescaling it to its correct ratio before adding the video into Vegas. yet again vegas is crap for scaling and gives a softer image. I always use VirtualdubMod for converting Mpeg to Avi and its very good at resizing. You will want to rescale it to 480 vertical lines with the matte borders cropped out. Once the pulldown is removed set the project to 23.976fps, 720x 480 and import your video
^^lol
Well every time i finish a shot or a couple of shots in a scene, i render the whole scene, stick it on my USB stick and watch it on my TV. This is a better way to see if the shots are working (you can miss stuff on a 24" monitor). Problem is that sometimes i end up uploading a previous render. But i'm usually not too bothered if i do that unless there is a glaring error in the video. All the finished files are there intact on the video timeline so a mistake in an uploaded video won't be there in the completed movie.

Alright, I shall oblige. To me, for all Ady's perfectionism for the things I never noticed, this one stands out a bit. It just doesn't look right. The original shot looks like an acceptable rotation, but the modified shot does not. Clearly the position of each leg is drastically different, and if you look at the timer, only one second has elapsed between the shots. But I hate to ask him to put in even a little more work when he's already been so generous. I just wanted to make him aware, which he apparently already was.
When 005 asked me about the leg placement on the video i thought he meant that they weren't exactly the same placement. It wasn't until you posted this screenshot that i noticed that the video i uploaded is missing some completed shots. 2 of the shots are earlier renders done before i decided to add the CG probe. I've just uploaded the proper version to VImeo, but the bloody queueing system there sucks and won't even start processing for another 40 minutes. Tried youtube and it instantly blocked it. Funny though because the timecode that it flagged as being fox's copyright was the shot where i replaced the mound before Han's head pops up. Not sure why it should flag that place. Well i don't even know if Vimeo will allow it either yet.
EDIT. It seems that Vimeo is fine with it. Here's the link:

Oh ady, you might enjoy a few of the comments at the bottom of this article:
http://digital-fanedits.com/articles/news/115-am-becomes-a-dm
ha ha. funny as fuck.
So Anti-matter is now a certified divemaster. Well he certainly should be certified ;)
So now we know his plans. He is building an underwater community where his minions will live for the coming apocalypse. They will be cut off from the rest of the world and they will have a daily morning prayer session where they worship at the alter of the Fan-editing god himself, the superiorly moral Anti-Matter. But his followers will never know that there was no apocalypse because anyone caught going on to any other website than an Anti-Matter approved one, will be forever cast out from his eternal light.
They are so paranoid over there that any new people are like spies. It's hilarious. I loved this part when he was talking about you Frink;
OMG, what a complete dirt bag. He's trying to take a page out of bootlegger Adywan's book.
ha ha, we're bootleg soul brothers now
My god that douche hasn't got a clue, sitting there on his high and mighty pedestal. But the way they hound anyone who may defend anyone outside of their circle or who questions their actions, is crazy. Dare question the high and mighty Anti-Matter and you are banned. This is the dark side of the fan editing community. Why don't they open up their forums so everyone can see that they have a whole section just trashing people? They try to make out they are respectable community and are morally higher than other sites that may get revenue from advertising, but this whole side of their nature proves otherwise. At least here we trash people openly and allow them to answer back. He's almost like some kind of cult leader (did i spell that correctly? ;) )
They'll probably be checking all the IP addresses of anyone who checked out their site today to try and weed out my IP address so they can block yet another one. Best of luck with that. I checked it out when i was away from home :)
Real reason for them allowing anyone to post reviews.......most probably so they can log everyone's IP address to perma-ban them and then, once they've close off their little world again, point to any negative reviews and use the high and mighty "look here, this is what jealousy looks like" attitude that they have towards any other fan editing site. (the clue is in rule #4..)
4. The review must be signed by a verifiable screen name in use at the other websites. Please also date the review.
I wouldn't want to waste my time even watching his edits, let alone bothering to write a review. His attitude towards anyone outside of his small group is childish. If you can't take negative criticism then fan editing is the wrong game for you. Same goes for the whole ego stroking he seems to relish on. Fanediting should never be done out of a want for adulation, but for the love of what you do and a want to share with anyone who may be interested in it.
But his attitude towards people here stunk. He jumped down peoples throats when they were genuinly trying to help him and give advice (when he decided to take his edit to his own website).
I'd say to everyone, don't leave any reviews. You're only giving him the attention he craves. If no one bothers to make a single comment or review then he won't have the ammo to throw back at the decent part of the fan editing community to make him feel bigger.

Why can't they keep the story developments secret?
It was going to be kept secret until the Christmas special, hence the false report that Matt had signed for the 8th series. But BBC worldwide sent out an email to its clients , which leaked, stating that season 8 will return with a new doctor for a 12 episode run in august 2014. So we're not even getting a split season next year so only 2 episodes in over a year? They're really trying to kill this show off. People are losing interest, not only because of the crap stories of late, but the fact of the split season/ log gaps.
Am I reading this wrong?
If it's coming back in August 2014 for 12 episodes that means we get 12 episodes not 2.
We have 2 between then (the Anniversary and Christmas specials) but we had slightly more than half a season before that already.
If I had my way we would have a full series leading up to Christmas. Autumn is the right time to start showing Doctor Who, as the nights get darker and colder.
yeh, you're reading it wrong ;) we get just two episodes between now and when the show will return in August 2014 for a full 12 episodes

I hate the ship boxes. If you don't know what I'm talking about, put in BD IV and go to where the Falcon takes off from Tatooine. Watch the Star Destroyers carefully and you'll see some weird brown areas. I hate those. They're in every shot of a ship.
These boxes were not in the original release VHS's, they're not in the SE's, and they're not in the original release DVD's from 2004. If they were in the original version, I could understand that, all the limits of technology could not erase them.
Those "boxes" are an artifact of the original effects, they've been there from day one. They're called "garbage mattes". I'm surprised you're seeing them in the Bluray, seeing as the blacks levels are f***ed up, you shouldn't be able to see them. Whereas you could've seen them in one of the VHS releases, as those releases were brightened to compensate for old crt sets.
Diagnosis: your tv is not properly calibrated.
My Tv is calibrated correctly and the garbage mattes, especially in ROTJ are visible.
Well hopefully they'll use better compression than before. So for those that have already purchased the first two, they'll have to purchase the digital versions just to get the extra content? Well that sucks .

What did you use to create the grooves?
A fork? Stanley? or something else?
I used one of these:
Prefect tool to use so that all the grooves aren't uniform. I covered the foam board with plaster powder mixed with 100% PVA glue and used this tool then to create the texture. The PVA not only helps the plaster bond better but also gives it the perfect mixture to be able to drag the tool across the surface, creating smooth texture.
Ronster said:
Also I am curious will you be populating this miniature with models or digital matte?
Basically we know that you plan to replace the out of scale background but what will it be comprised of?
I saw those y-wing finemolds pics and really increased my interest if you will be adding physical models to the shot...
I will be using the fine molds 1/72 models to populate it as it is built to 1/72 scale. I will have to digitally insert the transports using available shots of the original models (would love to have used the resin kit of the Transports available on ebay, but i just couldn't afford the £400+ price tag). All the boxes, pipes etc will be built physically at 1/72 and placed in the set, including all the lights etc. Then the troops and pilots that the 2nd unit filmed will be inserted . I have a smoke machine that will be used to add a fine layer of smoke in the hangar, then digitally insert the jets of steam seen in the full scale version (falcon hangar)

And if I don't receive a satisfactory explanation as to why Yodaman97 is posting from the same IP as MichaelGonJinn in the next 24 hours the account will be banned.
Texturing is now complete on the hangar miniature. Next to paint it and add all the extra mechanical and pipe details

The prequels are horrible about the holograms looking around and looking at who they are talking to. It makes zero sense. In ESB the various captains are the same size as Vader onboard the Executor. It makes sense that they are perhaps looking at life-sized holograms of Vader just as he is looking at them life-sized. Pre-recorded ones like Luke's and Leia's have them looking forward but not interacting. If memory serves, in the meditation chamber, the 'front-view' of the Emperor seems to be looking forward whereas the side view seems to have him looking down at Vader. With the Veers/Vader scene, I just think it makes sense that the shot be changed entirely or at the very least have Vader looking forward instead of looking up.
Although in the real world Vader should be looking forward. But this is a movie and in cinematic terms, because Veers is looking down at the Hologram, Vader needs to be looking up or it would just look wrong. You can't change the shot to him looking forward because it will look completely wrong if Vader isn't looking directly at Veers. You also can't change the hologram for Vader to be looking forwards because, again, Veers is looking down.But who is to say that Vader isn't looking up at a monitor? He doesn't have to be looking at a hologram of Veers. We don't see the other end of the transmission.
