If you use Audacity, you can record right from your computer. Quiet everything else, start recording, and push all the buttons in a row, then save it and split them up.

Its an interesting efford to one who havent noticed yet.

Thanks for the link! That's probably the coolest thing I've seen on SW.com for a while. I played around with the X-Wing vs. TIE Fighter theme for about 10 minutes, imagining a battle :)
If they release more soundbites (they're free of music), this could be a great resource for building a soundtrack for a fanedit.
Um wow. I thought my AT&T Ringtones were awesome, but this is a whole new level of usefulness!
EyeShotFirst said:I would love to see ady make his helmet fly off too. It would be hilarious. Then you have the poor pathetic Boba Fett flying in the background. Cue the fast blooper music.
I believe last time it was posted, Fett was described as "air swimming". Still cracks me up.
Something like that. But there's a problem. This full-motion shot that comes before the shot we're judging:
That is when the ship should power down, and it would be very difficult to shrink this as it moves back away from the Falcon in a nice perspective shot. Not without Ady building his Star Destroyer a movie early.
Jedi Dark Knight said:I agree with Angel and Sojourn, if the MF is chosen to be reduced towards a more technical correctness a "engine-powering-down-effect" could be added to draw attention to the spot to avoid what Sojourn pointed out: people will not know where to look.
I agree with JDK agreeing with Angel and Sojourn.
It was mentioned on the "ESB and ROTJ Wishlist" thread (and maybe here also) that maybe R2 should just fall straight down into the hole in the Falcon after he actives the hyperdrive. However, this is what I discovered.
So it really doesn't need to be worried about. :-D
vaderios said:R2 must got a terrible headache....
-Angel
R2?! What about Chewie?!
Ripplin said:Anyway, ESB wishlist... Hmm, well, I wish someone (especially Adywan in the ESB:R thread) would comment on that idea of having R2 fall straight into the hole after he fixes the hyperdrive, rather than that bounce/whatever thing he does.
In the shots where Chewie is handing Han tools down the same hole, there are pipes in the way that R2 might bounce off of on his way down. Makes sense to me.
EDIT: Watched the video. Here's what I found:
Ripplin said:"because it wasn't "his" verison, so to speak, he didn't release a DVD-9 of it."
Maybe that's because..............................his wife made it? Just throwing that out there.
Haha. ;)
Interestingly enough, Ady said on the "JJ Abrams is Ruining Star Trek" thread that his wife doesn't like Star Wars or Star Trek. I wonder what she thinks of his endless devotion to working on them and taking up their house with models for it....
ChainsawAsh said:Ady didn't spend that much time on the Purist version, if I remember correctly - it was mostly done to appease fans who were unhappy with some changes to the full version (specifically music changes and such). Apparently there was one other big reason that he's being all secretive about. At any rate, because it wasn't "his" verison, so to speak, he didn't release a DVD-9 of it. And since the original ANH:R files no longer exist, that's the best the "Purist" version will ever look (which is fine by me since I don't really care about it that much).
I have a theory, but I'm not sure if its right (which I guess is why it's a theory).
frank_cocker said:WOW! Just saw the clip, and as said before I dont want to ruin it, but I love how you put jar jar fleeing in the background in cloud city! A nice link to the PT!!!
SHHHHH, quiet, you'll ruin everything!
vaderios said:doubleofive said:I thought I saw that! Haven't yet confirmed it side by side. I'm going to post a shot by shot comparison, as is my custom, once I'm allowed to.
NO! not yet! Damn. Can you wait one week until the public release? :D
-Angel
I'm not going to until after the trailer is available for wide release. Don't worry.
corellian77 said:Awesome trailer ady... I've watched it 3 times and I'm sure I still haven't caught everything that there is to see. That shot of Cloud City is GORGEOUS. Also, in an attempt to keep this post spoiler free, let me just compliment you on the ever-so-subtle "lighting effects" in the carbon freeze chamber.
2010 can't come soon enough!
I thought I saw that! Haven't yet confirmed it side by side. I'm going to post a shot by shot comparison, as is my custom, once I'm allowed to.
Sevb32 said:Let me tell you guys, after what I just saw my chin should have rug burns. WOW!!!!
I too have seen the trailer. "Excitement" is hardly the word I would choose. I don't think there is a word to describe what this trailer does.
I think we've covered pretty much everything. The only thing I don't think I've mentioned was maybe removing the Taun Taun blood stain from the wall while Han walks up to the Taun Taun corrall, since the Wampa subplot was removed.
Just sent ImpFight the message that the frames he wanted are uploaded, he can begin to post.
vaderios said:Janskeet said:What changes/additions were made between the DVD-5 and DVD-9 versions?
DVD9 has some more bonus materials and some scenes are slight altered. All the info is in the PDF or you can run the trivia track ;). 005 has at his sig all the comparison and i think at some photos says what changed between the versions ;)
Maybe the youtube version is the Xvid one that is a "workprint" of the revisited before the final release.
-Angel
Looks that way. I don't have the Xvid here with me, but the DVD-5 and DVD-9 have the original background.
The description for the DVD-9 on fanedits.com has the changes between the DVD-5 and DVD-9.
Yes, Ady's comparison shots are in my sig. :-D
The windshield (spaceshield?) is my favorite part. Looks a lot more solid.
ImperialFighter said:jones1899, unfortunately it's not sufficient to give you the bare basics of what I intended to show. The basics are that I've got a different 'beginning' which involves various alternative shot arrangements, and a different 'ending' that also involves various alternative shot arrangements, and it' s just not possible to summarise it into a few sentances.
I really need to lay this out with a lot of screenshots to clearly show what I have in mind. I'm still in the middle of organising what I need for doubleofive to help me out, and had some coding problems at my end the last couple of days. These have just been sorted out, but I'm still in a busy period concerning life in general, unfortunately.
Believe me, I wish I'd looked at all this long before now, and would have liked to have offered this a while back, but all you need to know at the moment is that this will be the longest series of consecutive posts I've ever done on this forum. (And I reckon I've done a few lengthy ones in the past....)
Thanks for the interest, and if anyone likes them, and wishes to incorporate any of them, then of course they are welcome. I'm getting through it all, but it's going to take just a little longer yet to do it properly.
By the way it's my Birthday as of a little while ago, and the family have something planned after work that will delay me resuming this till the day after. But I'll try to finish it all as soon as I can. Must get some sleep now.
I got the shot list from ImpFight, and he has well over TWO HUNDRED frames he wants me to grab. I'm not sure when I'll be able to do this, maybe this week.
Jedi Dark Knight said:adywan said:
yeh, i'm hoping to do something about that.
I find that shot with the MF running away from the 2 ties shifting on it's Y-axis through the cannyon quite good, it's a great example of superb piloting from Han and how the 2 ties collide with each other funny, what changes are you gonna do? detail? opticals or remove the shot? :(
It's going to be the same, but newer, cleaner, better. All new set, all new models.
adywan said:AxiaEuxine said:Hey Adywan can we get some Ewoks in Empire revisited? Maybe have a couple walking alongside an ugnaught and talking? Maybe they could help put Han into Carbon freeze?
Or maybe have some Gungans walking around in the background? Maybe a Neimodian or two?
Oh god, please tell me you are joking
Last April you were all about it!
Wait, that was my pretending to be you as part of April Fools. Nevermind then.
Janskeet said:What DVD software do you guys use? I use Cyberlink PowerDVD 8 and it doesn't remove the black bars along the bottom and the top. Do you guys manually cut the black bars out of the frame or do you use a software that automatically removes them when you capture a frame?
I use PowerDVD at home, but I have to use Photoshop to cut off the black bars. Eventually I'm going to Handbrake a lot of my movies (which cuts off the black) if only so I can take screenshots without having to crop them.
Darth Solo said:You still didnt give me time to edit my post. Speedy gonzalez!
See?! My wife is right! Or my job isn't demanding enough. ;-)
Darth Solo said:You didnt give me chance to edit my post.
No offence 00.
I figured it wasn't directed at me, no worries. :-D
Darth Solo said:doubleofive said:I've dreamed of doing that also. I think I may have literally dreamed of doing that once. ;-)
Sorry, but its no wonder 'other' thread members class us as kiss arses when reading this thread. I prefer to think of us as fans who appreciate what Ady can bring to the OT for the better rather than, urmph, what the SE's gave us. I feel like the SE's has taken the polish off any futher alterations to the OT, and thats why many members scorn Adys efforts. Damn, i sound like a kiss arse now...
All I meant was I think about this thread way too often. No wonder my wife says I'm addicted to the forums.
