Very nice, Savage! All this cover art is inspiring me...
He didn't have me mock up any more credits, so I don't think he planned at all to have opening credits. It's a loss, but not much of one.
You know, its weird taking so many shots for someone and still having no clue what he's planning. So far, I like it a lot. Beginning with the Elvis and car chase was a bit much. I saw the movie in theaters with a friend, his first Indiana Jones movie (he's young(er)!). I think opening with that turned him off, or mislead him as to what kind of movie this was supposed to be.
Like "Anything Goes" is better in that regard, but I like "Anything Goes". It's catchy.
Here's the full-sized Cloud City frame captured from the trailer with VLC. It's instantly suitable for wallpaper use, I know, I've had it as mine for a week now!
So the Executor bridge in RotJ uses the pit setup from the Avenger set? What a lack of continuity!
Beautiful mockups, as usual Angel.
G E Predator said:Ripplin said:Maybe G.E. Predator could use it, too. Wouldn't hurt to have it up with the proper a.r. a few times.
I'm a bit hurt by that, Ripplin. I uploaded the trailer in my YT last night to share with all, especially those YT viewer who have not yet seen the trailer...yet I'm not really feeling any appreciation for my efforts just because the picture is a little stretched.
All Ripplin meant was that more people will find it if more people have it up. Some people won't appreciate it not being in the right AR and will give the whole project a pass if they think that's the way its going to be...

I know, I know, its just that I like playing detective!
Sevb32 said:My question for Ady is how is he going to do officers pit part without it looking repeated? I see it's using the part from where Needa and the other guy are on the bridge when the falcon flies so close to the bridge. All those officers are posed the same way as in the earlier shot, so how is he going to stop it from looking like reused shot?
Alright, I went through the film and found examples of all the pit shots to compare, and I ran into a problem:
The pits on the Executor and Avenger are set up differently. Check it out:
You can see that Executor's stations are set up in a straight line, none against the outside wall.
The Avenger has them staggered. The bottom right shot comes from what is supposed to be the Executor, but is obviously a flipped shot of the shot above it (the SE puts the commander's rank on the correct side).
Now Ady's beautiful new shot uses an Avenger bay on the Executor. I'm sure no one will notice (no one has mentioned the bottom left shot before!), and I think if the new shot is short enough, even less people will notice its a reuse. If Kershner can do it in the original, Ady can now.
EDIT: look at the different colors in every shot! Who quality checked this thing?!

--edit--
Done processing now, and also available in 720p HD for your viewing pleasure (just click the HD button next to the volume/fullscreen buttons).
Much better, thanks Ash.
I'll just say "No problem" for everyone. I love playing detective, and finding the right frames and what had been changed was fun! Glad I had the extra time to do it though, it did take a while.
EDIT: Don't want to make two posts in a row, so here's my mockup of the side view of the Emperor hologram:
Akwat Kbrana said:Brilliant job, Adywan! The colours are vibrant, everything resounds with crystal clarity, and every updated element is a major improvement. Absolutely no negative reactions here; everything's awesome. As stoked for this release as I already was, you somehow managed to crank to excitement factor up another tenfold. Kudos, sir. You are truly a pinnacle in this fanbase.
And 005, many thanks for your comparison slideshow. It was quite helpful in pointing out some of the minor details that I otherwise would've missed. :)
Can't wait for 2010!
Heck, I showed it to Ady and he missed stuff! Angel pointed out the hint of a window in Leia's shot as she's shooting the Stormtrooper, so I added it just before it went live.
Also, I didn't know where to put it, but Ady has made Ian McDiarmond say "Yes" twice before he says "he would be a great asset" instead of the one he does on the DVD.
professa said:love it!!!!!!
just one bad for me
vader's saber thicker than luke's
Vader's saber is pointed towards us and Luke's away making it look smaller? At least it's not pink!

Make your browser full screen and run the slideshow for best results. :-D
I've had this ready for over a week, but I had no idea it would be posted so early!
BTW, I was thinking about mocking up the side view of the Emperor hologram this morning anyway, so I'll get on that.
ChainsawAsh said:There's definitely a side frame - when the Emperor and Vader are walking from the shuttle when the Emperor first arrives. They're walking, sure, but I think it'd work.
He just needs a still frame, as the Emperor really doesn't say much from the side. He could even pick a frame where you can't see his face at all!
It is mid-late May. Today is May 19th actually. The trailer, as we've been discussing, comes out on the 21st. Two more days. :-)
vaderios said:doubleofive said:Hopefully when Ady posts the trailer on Page 1, he'll update the list of changes with the one I made for him. It has a clear list of what's changing, and what's not. I forgot to add the green lasers, but I'm sure he'll add it.
Cant wait for the up to date list!
In fact i want some new comparison pics after the trailer arrives :)
-(Arch)angel
The comparison pics are done and approved by Ady. Just waiting till Thursday morning EDT!
vaderios said:Some ruins or Totems isnt a bad idea because it creates a feeling of the unpredictable and menace.
-Angel
That none of the characters react to. That's one of the problems.
Ithilgore said:It's May 21st for the trailer/anniversery, right?
Correct.
The big question, and top of my list when/if I make my own cut:
Did you remove the Audible Sparkles? Sparkles are fine, because they're in the book. But audible?! Way too much.
Bobocop said:The lightsabers, as large as they are and whatnot, were very noticeable when they changed from green to blue to purple from shot to shot.
The buttons on Vader's chestplate, however, I never noticed or really looked at that closely.
But for all we know, it could change color depending on Vader's feelings. That's how the Emperor really knows what he's up to.
Hmmm... the button is green again... "Are you sure your feelings on this matter are clear, Lord Vader?"
Darth Vader's Mood Chestplate. I love it!
Hopefully when Ady posts the trailer on Page 1, he'll update the list of changes with the one I made for him. It has a clear list of what's changing, and what's not. I forgot to add the green lasers, but I'm sure he'll add it.
I don't care for the carvings idea. I like that there are no signs of habitation of Endor until they are captured. I'd like to think the Empire didn't even know it was habitated.
vaderios said:Ripplin said:vaderios said:If you look closely, even to Ady's R, version when luke says the javas to get away, see the dino in the back. In one part it pop ups of the ground because of bad tracking ;)
Too bad you weren't around back then to let him know before he was finished. Haha. You just know that's the type of thing he'd get rid of.
And Ruin the fun and the oportunity to let some other editor do it? Not a change!
Besides back then i was only watching the progress, I wasnt ready to contribute :)
-Angel
Now the whole movie is ruined for me because you "weren't ready to contribute"! Darn you Angel!!!
;-)
Sounds awesome! I was watching the bonus features with my wife this weekend and was thinking most of the same thing you were!
vbangle said:Sevb32 said:vbangle said:Because Sevb32 if I wanted to see Ronto ass, I'd look in the mirror.....myself along with MILLIONS of others, didn't want to see the tail end of a Ronto when we were trying to watch our favorite movie of all time....
It was actually facing the camera, in the background for a about 3 secs. No ass shown at all.
Its in the foreground, not the background.
This is what Sevb is talking about. Either Ady didn't like it, or I suspect he lacked the elements to add it behind the aforementioned Ronto Butt since all those elements had to come from a pre-SE source, so he had to delete it here.
Janskeet said:Could somebody with the GOUT post this frame from the GOUT? This was taken from revisited.
The "Dewback" has always been there. Ady changed the direction of the sun(s?) to match the direction it is when Luke and Obi-Wan enter a few seconds later.
