I've had an idea for how to remove Dooku's jump. Just cut it out completely.

There are two shots of the Jedi and Palpatine discussing Dooku. Go directly from: "This time we take him together. I was about to say that." to "He's a Sith Lord. Sith Lords are our speciality " (not the exact dialog). Just lay in some footsteps behind their dialog (to imply Dooku has walked down the stairs). When we next see Dooku ("your swords please"), it actually looks like he is walking away from the stairs, not the spot he jumped to.

It's my personal theory that Christopher Lee actually did walk down the stairs, and this was shot. However, Lucas didn't like something about it (maybe there was Dooku dialog he didn't like). So instead of reshooting the scene, he just had ILM use the gaudy CGI jump.


here's the Dooku Vs Jedis fight clip, dooku still doing his salto, (erikstormtrooper, i think that's a way to do it, i'm trying to keep his entrance and lightning on the saber)

just to show you, the result as it is now, a lot of "reedition" shots, cuts, trimming dialogue, sound effects..etc..to make this faster...when you do a work like that, you find things that we missed, ther's a lot of mistakes, redendency(!!), goofs etc...so my edit is not to change any plot of the story, but i'm trying to enhance some shots to serve the story..
let me know what you thinkin of.

That dialogue is interesting. Maybe someone here on the forum will eventually volunteer. Have you thought of trying to piece together the dialogue word-by-word from other Liam Neeson movies?

a lot of work here, and i dont have some Neeson's (english dub) movies (i'm french)

I definitely like the idea of increasing the intensity of the fighting in your edit. I don't like the robot voices at all; I'm trying to leave them out of my edit as much as possible. Have the voices been fairly easy to remove?

i've used sound forge to manipulate the sound, but you can use free software to remove voice like goldwave..ther's also a plugin called "vocal remover" google it and y'll find it...

I think I have a way to eliminate the weird jump that Dooku does and still have the scene look okay. If it works and I can get to it in the next couple of days, I'll post it.

For the dooku Salto, i think i have to learn to do something like adywan did for his work on ANH (with photoshop)
probably after the summer..

the qui-gon lines are based mostly from the EPIII comic book and specially from T'bones starwars universe that's helped me a lot, i've added the saber ignition for Count dooku when he jump from "balcony" to face obi and anakin (i'm trying to eleminate the salto jumping, it's so ridiculous), adding some saber sound effects to all the fights, eleminate some redendante dialogues, eleminate most of the droids "Ben burtt" lines, in some cases i've replaced them, rearranged most of the fights to make them more "faster and intense" (especially : Grievous/Obi)..there's a lot more..i'll trying to do a list of the changes and post it soon ...

Good job DH, my EPIII edit takes me a long time too...this movie has a good story but Master Lucas has done a 'curious' editing in this one...i've seen the phantom edit EP I and EP II, and he has improved the movies so well...so i'm trying to follow his way to do my EP III edit...and it took time to use all the editing tools to have a watchable movie.. keep going DH...and MTFBWY.
