I was afraid that mismatched lips would throw me off, but you well in this rough concept which gives me hope that with some better equipment and experience, something like this might work!

Am I on the wrong side of "cool geek" here, or am I doing okay?
One to open and display and one to keep in the box. I don't what kind of geek that makes you, but it makes you awesome to me!

Vader is kneeling before the Emperor!
Oh no, he's here. Hide! He can't point you out if he can't see you!
We actually met because of Star Wars. I leaned over to see what she was watching on her iBook before class and she was watching Empire of Dreams. I asked her if she knew that you could access bloopers on the disc. She didn't and I couldn't figure out how to do it on her iBook, so we had to set a date to try on another DVD player. Extremely nerdy.
Anyway, we found the pattern online. I'm sure its still out there somewhere.

How about you do something similar to Luke's hand. Come on it looks like crap LOL.
This looks like another job for Ady's Hand! It should have a cameo in every movie!
Hey doubleofive maybe you could make those tubes glow a bit too? as if the tube is filled with the liquid makin the inside glow?
That's EyeShot's mockup, not mine. I think they could glow, but it would be weird to install lights on something that goes INSIDE a person.

That's what I'm here for. :-)
EDIT: Didn't mean to double post. I am ashamed.

Darth Venal said:Do we see those doors open? I think the wall is a matte painting, but if we see the doors open, then it's not.
So it is the same, real door. The lighting brightens up considerably, but if it is sunrise as Ady as made it, then this all makes sense.
Ripplin said:I think it's just the way the light is hitting them, creating more shadow in the first instance.
But how much did the light change on those doors in those 20-30 seconds? I think the long shot is all a matte painting, and they got the door wrong.
I wanted to add to the fleet with my entry in that game. ;-) Fun times.
My then-girlfriend made this out of a pumpkin a couple weeks after we started dated. Of course I married her.

I noticed that when I was doing my Lando Sacrifice video. Made me sad. Nice job fixing it!
Bobocop said:Not sure what you mean by spoof lightsaber blades.
All I did was cut and paste footage basically.
Whatever, pink sabers? Day-glo green sabers? You messed with something, that can't be footage from an official release.
What's that? Someone actually said this was OK and finalized it as the "definitive" version of Star Wars looking like that?!
TV's Frink said:brash_stryker said:True, we didn't have Ric Olie standing there saying "that's the reactor core you're throwing him into."
If Ric Olie didn't explain it, it didn't happen. That's why only EP 1 exists, and everything else (including this forum) is a figment of my imagination.
Thank the maker that Ric Olie was in the hospital room to say "TV's Frink was just born!"
Your obsession with Ric has earned you another signature!
Vader's head, hand, and feet go OVER this black area. I think it actually is an unfinished matte! The lines are too straight across that pole area to be simply unfinished set. They tried to cover it up by starting a matte, but not finishing I guess. If they wanted it to be interpreted as the bridge, they wouldn't have had to rotoscope Vader's body parts over it, they could have just splashed more black and be done with it.
One could go with either Angel's awesome fix, or just unrotoscope Vader from in front of it and have it be the interpretation TMBTM saw.
Thanks to Bobocop, you can watch this over and over and over and over...

Wait, discovery, proving Angel is very correct coming soon!
TMBTM said:vaderios said:
Notice the lack of roof set.
-Angel
Great work!
But it looks more like the footbridge we see Luke on (later on) than a lack of roof set (?) The camera is just under that footbridge, that's all (a nice trick to not make a roof set though :) I agree!)
Love the lights, the sparks, the reflections, but I think TMBTM is right, its makes sense that its the Footbridge to Nowhere.
The black looks like a matte, I admit, but its empty. Why would they take the time to matte out the rest of the set by hand and not put anything there? Also, it seems rather random with its extensions down. It is odd that it lines up perfectly with where you made those pieces light up though... Maybe they framed the shot under the bridge to cover the set from that angle?
Darth Venal said:I'm wondering why so many people keep referring to the shaft in Palpatine's throne room as the reactor core. That's not what it is at all, unless you're suggesting we can see 450km down that thing. Let's remember that the throne room is atop a very tall tower, and I reckon that shaft only reaches to the actual surface of the Death Star. At a standard Earth gravity, which is clearly how all the ships in Star Wars seem to work, it would take Palpatine three hours to hit the reactor core.
That's really funny to me. I'm just imagining him waiting for the impact and it taking FOREVER.
Remember when the EU had all "Good" Jedi disappear and all "Dark" Jedi explode like Palps? That was odd. Do they still do that?

Why is that? well i got mines via google :)
But he wouldn't be able to get all six of them via the Google if there's only 3 done!

vaderios said:How far can push ROTJ's edit into a microscopic level? lol
When Leia is turning the big gun on jabba's ship. in the close up for 3 frames her eyes look in the camera before she look into the right position. Easy fix but hard noticeable. The same goes to Chewie in the lamda shuttle
-Angel
Grain of sand, Chewie's foot? Can't get more microscopic than HotRod!
vaderios said:Spot the difference :)
ROTJ ESB
-Angel
Heaven forbid the guy look out the same window in the same place giving off almost identical reflections. OK, so its either a reused shot, or they lit him exactly the same 3 years apart. At least the stars are different?
Awesome, congrats! A distinct honor. Ganamae (and hopefully some of his close friends at home) can enjoy an exclusive look at the work done so far. Take good notes!

That's the sound of the joke going over fishman's head.
