That's awesome, thanks a lot crypto_sith. I don't suppose you have any additional info for the clips i.e. level names, context, etc

Well, I've gotta say I'm slightly disappointed (or maybe that should be humbled), with the lack of attention this project has been getting, but then I also realised I haven't given many specifics about the project. However, I really can't be doing with documenting every clip I've inserted and where.

As far as distribution goes, I'm gonna try and start a PiF chain here. If I send out 5 copies* to the first 5 people to PM me, offering to forward another 2 each when they recieve their copies, hopefully that will start the ball rolling, and generate some feedback.

* I know 5 seems like a low amount, especially the enthusiasm I have for this project, but I'm guessing these will be headed stateside and hey, Christmas is coming, and I need my cash!

Also, as stated before, if I can ever create a better opening title sequence, I reserve the right to release a ver1.1 or even a Special Edition

So, interested partys PM away!

*Edit* - I'm also looking for some feedback on the name (gotta have a catchy title yknow). Should I leave it as it is or change it? Other ideas of mine: 'Revealing The Sith', 'Reveal Of The Sith', 'The Sith Revealed' (optional 'The'). I know they're all pretty much the same, but which one rolls off the tongue better?

Hi all,

Once more putting out a request to anyone who would be willing to make a crawl for me, or suggest good opening titles.

And thanks to Rev Beastly for his help earlier in this link

That's a great idea, and something I can do with Nero. Thanks sluggo

hi all,

I've had some PMs asking for a copy of this. Before I send out anything as a final release, I'm still hanging out for some help on a new opening crawl, or if not that, then some ideas on how I could give this movie an individuality of it's own....

any sugestions?

Finally, a result.

I've successfully burnt the first final copy and am watching in now (through a PS2, if anyones interested, which normally won't play for spit) and damned if it dosen't look mighty fine!!

If anyone with the knowledge and ability to upload the full version to myspleen or other torrent trackers wants a copy, please let me know.

Okay, now as it stands, the movie opens in exactly the same way, still with the Revenge Of The Sith crawl. I was wondering if anyone could possibly help me create a new one, with a new spiel, either by doing it themselves or teaching me how.

Any help on how to create a functional menu screen would be nice too. Currently I am using Nero, which just gives me a thumbnail on a screenshot.

Man, this is starting to do my swede!

First, I've twice failed to successfully upload the Dooku file to Demonoid, now, secondly, Nero's decided it dosen't like playing with the final .VOB file and I can't manage to burn it to DVD either.

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

[edit] okay, I've uploaded the torrent to Demonoid (I think). See, I didn't realise I had to create a torrent first. So that done, and with all the files in the right place, I think it's ready.

Heres the link to the Demonoid page -

http://www.demonoid.com/torrents/details/227490/

Guess I won't know if it works till someone tries downloading it , so I can seed.

ok, ive no idea why that was removed, as far as I'm aware it wasn't downloaded once. Maybe 165mb file was too much.

Amm going to try uploading to Demonoid now. I understand not everyone is a member, but I can't think of anywhere else to host it

okay, I'm uploading a segment now. It's the dooku fight which I've chosen because a) it's early in the film so that will (hopefully) leave everyone excited about the rest, and b) because it's one of the scenes I'm most proud of. I had a lot to work with and there's some awesome sychnhronicity in there.

Will post the link as soon as it's available.

ps Even ver.1.0 is a few days of now as I've found a couple of shots on TOS which I'd somehow missed, so need to get them converted and inserted first.

Can anyone tell me how much Womble is to buy? Or can I get away wih using multiple emails addresses to get new keys? This close to Xmas and all, I can't really justify the expense on what is ultimatley a hobby. (well, not in my opinion, but theres the girlfriend and bills to pay etc etc haha)

Yeah, I might do that. However, as I said, it'll be as a .VOB file. Will that be generally acceptable?

I'm exporting this from womble as we speak, which should leave me with the final .VOB file. Now, while this is fine for burning to dvd with Nero, how's the best way to upload it?

Also, since this gives me free time from working on it, I'm going to hunt for anything else I might have missed and could have included, so expect this to be version 1.0 (of course, my Womble trial runs out in 9 days so I'm gonna have to be quick about it).

haha...pressure

look guys, this is gonna be my first release. I've just finished inserting all the clips and now I'm going through it scene by scene. In total there are roughly 215 clips throughout the film, which has a running time of 2 hours. There are whole segments I have removed, simply because I either haven't had anything to contribute to the scene and wanting to skip to the next relevant one or simply to move it along, or, in some cases, cos I hated the scene

Please understand that as my first major project (one which I have yet to export out of Womble...which may hold it's own set of problems, I fear). In some cases I have wanted to add more time to show clips, so have simply looped a few frames of audio for an ambient-ish continual of the soundtrack. And other edits are quite harsh, noticably so, yet I haven't the know how yet to do better.

However, I am a Demoinoid member so I'm hoping to upload this myself, but will be sending out a couple of discs too.

Hi all,

Thought I’d let everyone know of a project I’ve been working on recently, as I near completion.

The background: When I bought Episode III on DVD, what was the first thing I did? Check out the bonus material, of course. And as I sat there, I realised what a wealth of footage there was, both on the disc and on my hard drive, of the various stages of Star Wars filmaking. filming, models, effecst etc. And also there was a lot of useable bluescreen footage of certain scenes.

With this, and ‘Deleted Magic’ in mind, I downloaded a trail version of Womble, and set about replacing certain shots with their unfinished counterparts, as well as inserting lots of other behind the scenes, and pre-viz footage.

The result is “Revealing Of The Sith”. I would write more, but I’m shattered from working on this all day (been working on it for about a week), and I’m sure my girlfriend is p****d at me, but I’d love to hear your thoughts…

Well, first time all was well and good. I'd sat down and watched the whole thing while I was recording, but in my excitement (and without fully reading the instructions) once it was finished I took out the blank and popped it into the PC. The instructions then told me I hadn't 'finalised disc', so I did it again. 2nd time round (wasn't actually watching this time, turned on atowards the end), the tracking was bad cos the scarts wern't in properly. 3rd time, tracking was still bad, almost as tho the tape had one good play in it before turning to smeg. Plus, when trying to drag it into womble, VTS 01_1 wasn't accepted.

My guess is that since my VCR is a bit old I need to get in touch with someone with a NEW vcr (already on it, hopefully soon), which will hopefully give me a better picture quality.

But in the meantime (for the sake of research,.....honest) I've been trying the DVD recorder out on a few other things, notably the Starfighter and Jedi Starfighter cutscenes.

Man O Man, so many projects and so little time (till the girlfriend gets home from work

)

hey guys,

sorry for being slacl. been out and bought my dvd recorder this morning and am in the process of transferring as we speak. Will keep everyone posted, but in the meantime, does anyone fancy trying to put together a funky menu for this project. I'm not the best at dvd authouring but will make the VTS file available to anyone who can help turn this into a fully available product
