If you're using the PC version of Mass Effect, use the program 'Fraps' to record everything on screen and all audio. You need to buy a licence in order to use it legitimately without it adding watermarks to your videos, but it's cheap and pretty worth it. I used it for recording in-game footage for a short film I had to make in university.
Savage, Ady confirmed himself that it was a joke. Although whether he only said this to stop the bickering on his thread remains to be seen. :-p
^what Frink said.
It must have been very much a love/hate thing if fishmanlee's old avatar got you moist whenever you saw it then ;)

who says you have to mess with it? just have both.
Yes. One after the other. That'll work. Such a visionary!
Well I'm sure Ady would never consider that. Not only is the fox logo an iconic part of the Star Wars experience, but faneditors are already pushing their luck enough by distributing edits, let alone edits where the studio credit is replaced by an editor's credit. That's pretty much inviting a cease and desist response. Let's not provoke Lucasfilm/fox any more than necessary eh?
I think Ady already confirmed he'd be using the same 'adywan' intro as he did for ANH:R, but themed to suit ESB instead (the previous intro had visual elements from the Battle of Yavin)
Well the microphone arrived. It's a monster!
It's one heck of a game, Sluggo. You should play it. Captures the Star Wars mood far better than any of the prequels. And it's available for PC or Mac :)
Courtesy of good ol' Wikipedia:
"Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic received strong praise, along with high critical acclaim. KotOR won numerous awards, including Game Developers Choice Awards' 2004 game of the year, BAFTA Games Awards' best Xbox game of the year, and Interactive Achievement Awards for best console RPG and best computer RPG."

I did suggest earlier that Separatists initially didn't want to be separate but were conned into shady actions which led to them becoming ostracised as rogue states.
^This.
I'm all for making the Neimodians more like victims who were simply exploited in the first film, and in Episode 2 are part of the good fight. Though the republic don't believe them due to their track record.
Well lucky for you, I'm clearly not going to be able to change them drastically. :p A redub would seem to be the most realistic approach if I can pull it off.

Nice! Is the logic behind the different logo that it'll reflect a different era than the ot? A more civilized age, perhaps?
The possible logic behind the new logo is just altering the usual one with something familiar but different for more variation :)
-Angel
Well in any case, I like it!
Nice mockup, Bingo! However I still think making them essentially human (but drastically altered) has more of an impact, as the audience can see how much they've played god. Whereas with your (admittedly cool) shark concept, they have no point of reference for what is the "norm"
Also, the mouth guard would make redubbing a faneditors dream.
Not to mention the fins on the original clonetrooper helmets.

I'm posting this here as well as in my own thread as it's a radical idea, and most probably beyond the scope of my abilities or resources.
I've always hated the Kaminoans. The way they look, the way they talk, everything about them. Plus they sound too human for something so alien.
In my eyes, a society of cloners shown to a human audience should be humans themselves, but drastically enhanced/altered due to them having played god to such an extent. It would have more of an impact if they're something alien, but not so alien that we don't care.
I'm imagining very tall (obi wan must look up to talk to them) grey/sallow skin, something replacing/covering their mouths (as all their sustenance would be supplied artificially).
Basically like a very tall Darth Malak from Kotor, but without the tattoos or evilness. And in some kind of sterile looking jumpsuit rather than sith armour.
This would require filming live action footage, and compositing it over the existing kaminoans. I wouldn't foresee a huge problem with the scene where they're sat in the chairs as everything looks so hazy and fake that compositing can't make it look any worse, but I'm wondering if it's even possible for the corridor scenes.
The more ideas I get, the more daunting this project becomes. There are changes I really want to make, but don't even know if they're possible. Nevertheless I'll still bring them up even if they are beyond the scope of my abilities or resources.

Now as I said, this is no doubt beyond the scope of my abilities or resources, so I will also post this in the radical redux thread.
Oh don't get me wrong. I'm certainly going to try. And I do actually have a few ideas ;)
And if I'm going to be redubbing this part, it's only natural I take full advantage and insert new dialogue into the previous Lama Su scene (seeing as I'm cutting all the Sifo Dyas bollocks)

Replacing some of the Kamino Prime Minister's dialogue in the cloning facilities can be easy enough if you can keep that dialogue in cutaways to the clones. If you don't see him on the screen, you needn't worry about matching his lip movements. It comes down to the voice matching consistently. It might be necessary to replace all his dialogue to achieve this if it is that crucial to your edit.
-NJM
It's not the redubbing itself that's problematic, but finding suitable responses from Obi Wan that make sense in regard to what he's being told. Even if I did cobble together responses from Ewan Mcgregor's body of work, there are limited cutaways to work with. Plus the fact we need to cut back to him speaking the original dialogue at least at some point, which makes creating new responses even more problematic as they have to be incorporated between some of his existing responses too and therefore must make sense and flow from one to the other.
Any new dialogue for Lama Su would have to be reverse engineered based on what Ewan Dialogue we'd have to work with, if that makes any sense. And even then, you're extremely limited by the cutaways and have to take the original dialogue into account when choosing obi lines......which in turn affects the lama su lines. Yeah, it's pretty confusing.
I may self detruct from all these lolz
Actually, I think sky's version is the one Ady expressed interest in using. If I remember rightly, sky thought that Angel's would be a pain to pull off in motion.
I agree that if dialogue was cobbled together to make him stand out, it could work, but simply having him on the council wouldn't. You'd be just as confused seeing Dooku at the end as you would Eeth Koth....or Plo Koon.....or god forbid Yarael Poof!
Bobgarcia, your video was perfect. I'd prefer not to see the vision, personally, but I don't know what you could have there instead prior to Anakin jerking awake (behave yourself TV's Frink)
SSWR, nice find on that vid. I like how it cuts to the exterior space battle as he beheads Dooku (obviously without the everyone dying part though)
Whilst I always kind of liked your idea of Dooku appearing at the end of Episode 1, won't first time viewers be like "who is this dude?" seeing as he'd be introduced to us at the end of the film, without even being hinted at prior.

Please please please don't show us that!
I knew it would be you to pick up on that! :p
