I don't have any special set-up myself, but a DVD cover is smaller in both dimensions than a piece of A4 paper. My box art would probably be too wide, but there are always ways. The trick is to get it to print at the right size, and I have no idea how to do this — I haven't printed out any of my covers yet — so I just worked to the same resolution scale as Sky_'s Revisited cover for all of mine.

I think ThrowgnCpr was talking about printing and folding the box set box, not the plain DVD cover. As long as you scaled the cover to Sky_'s, you should be alright.

I love the new troops. I agree that they look so natural there! I also like the fact that the new ones standing in front of the turret block most of the empty entrance I was complaining about!

So, besides the correct colors, the boom mike removal, and the new troops, is there anything else we should have noticed?

Couple more quick ones for today, then I'm off to actually do some work!

That second (better detailed, less blurry) 'close-up' of the viewscreen 'surround' is a bit transparent at the bottom, and we can see Admiral Piet through it. Could you 'solidify' it for us Ady?

Need to look carefully for this one - On the initial long shot reveal of the 'plectrum'-shaped structure, on the side facing us near the position where the entrance into it is....there seems to be a couple of flashing 'lights' that are NOT there in the next shot of Luke heading towards the entrance. Could you remove them for us?

I'll be back tomorrow with a couple of issues I'd REALLY like to see sorted that I think are relevant and could be neat!

Between ImperialFighter and Adywan both watching the whole movie frame by frame, there should be no continuity problems in this movie!

There was one continuity error I wanted to mention, but I don't think I did. When Han first walks into the Echo Base control center, Leia is looking at him across the room from between two techs. After Han walks across the room to the General, Leia is looking at him again, but this time the frame is flipped because Han is on the other side of the room. It makes sense if you don't look at it too hard because Leia is supposed to be looking over her other shoulder at Han. However, the techs have switched sides. I guess you could recolor their hair and it would make it a little less obvious.

Onto business, here's a little something I've only just noticed recently -

As C3PO complains to Chewbacca carrying him "....Ow!....That hurt....bend down you thoughtless....", as he bends down to get in the Falcon....C3PO's head slightly hits the red 'light' fixture beside the ramp....and knocks it off! Maybe the props guys used double-sided tape for it! :) Anyway, can we get that sorted so it stays in place?

I used to imagine that was a homing beacon that wasn't so secure about their ship. You know, a real obvious one so you think you've got it, when in reality there's a better disguised one somewhere else. But that was as a child, and I later realized that it was last movie when they were tracking the ship and not in this one.

The arm and head are gone, thank heavens. You can see the difference in the split screen that I did not create but am somehow responsible for, much like the ANHR Visual Comparison.

As Luke goes deeper into the cave, we can see that there is a stone arch there, like this is an old abandoned temple or something. There's probably some EU explanation for this, but for just a movie purist, it's a little confusing. Would you consider doing something about the arch?

Maybe remove it so that it looks like a natural cave?

Or maybe use the arch element to create a wider shot that shows us a hall with lots of arches? (kind of like the wider angle you gave us when Luke and Leia swing across the chasm)

The second option wouldn't really solve the confusion issue, but it would at least make it look like this is an "intentional mystery" and not some random set piece that got reused because they were cheap.

I seem to remember two EU explanations for the cave. One was that a Dark Jedi was defeated in the cave and somehow his death tainted the place towards the Dark Side. Another was that the tree itself, being a living thing and therefore having the Force, was Darksided. Yoda used the Dark Side energies to negate his Light Side aura so that he remained undetectable through the Force. Nothing about a temple being there, according to the Wookieepedia.

I just noticed the arch my last viewing of ESB, and I like either of Erik's suggestions.

Looks good :) I'm not to positive about the sound effect at 0.29 when the shot switches to clouds, that sound effect is really WHAM in your face.. a little TOO wham if you ask me

Also, the image from 0.55 seems to be pretty bad on the left hand side, snowy white with a lot of dark .. euhh. bleeding ? you know when you see it :)

comments posted, back to reality

you are a god :)

I don't think the sound is too bad, and I don't see the image quality problem either. What's the timecode on the video, instead of just the second count on your media player?

OK. here it is. There are a couple of unfinished shots but the rest are complete.

2 MINUTE PREVIEW CLIP -XVID- rapidshare

Looking good! Besides the color issues and new/brighter stars, I didn't notice much different, but I'm the kind of guy that needs to see things side by side to really see the differences (hence my suggestion of the Visual Comparison for ANHR). I get all excited about things that I think are differences just to find that they aren't different at all. For example, the movement of Hoth as the probe heads towards it. Has it always been like that?

I did notice that there's no more human arm attacking the Taun-taun, that's nice. I also liked that I think you turned down the wind as the Wampa is dragging Luke away. I always thought elements at that point sounded too much like 3PO's movement sound, which made the Wampa kind of sound like a droid.

I was sad to see no Taun-taun footprints and no activity inside Echo base as Han is entering, but I hope those are part of the "TEMP" too.

Just encoding it now. should be here in about 20 mins

I love that "a few months off" turned into "let me do the first color correction pass real quick" to "it took me 3 days, 9 layers and 123 masks to do this one Yoda scene" to "I'm just going to start to matte the transparency issues" to "here's the first two minutes."

I freaking love it.

Anyway, does anyone fancy seeing the first 2 "finished" minutes (minus the crawl) of ESB:R, complete with new FX?

I'm not sure, does it come with cake? Cause I'd fancy it if it came with cake. Maybe even if it didn't.

I think the saber could stand being moved a bit to frame right, maybe just past Luke's left hand. That might help it being noticed a bit more, for those who don't know its there.

Now that you all know its there, it'll be all you can see. :-D

I made this series of screenshots a few months ago to confirm exactly what you discovered:

Sure enough, it does look like Lucas just added a bolt over the 97 SE version to make it look like Han shoots earlier, but the first bolt disappears... Dumb way to "fix" things he already broke.

You gotta read between the lines.

When the Falcon gets to Bespin, security won't let them land at first. Then when they do land, Lando is late in getting out to the platform.

Fett probably got there literally just a few minutes before. Security refusing to let them land was a delay tactic, and Lando not making it out to the platform in time was because Fett (and possibly Vader) were pulling rank on him.

Wow. I never thought about it like that.

doubleofive- I know that there is some 'debris' on the gantry in that 'birds-eye view' shot, but I certainly don't recall there being an obvious deactivated Lightsaber on it. I will check this out later today though.

If its not there then Ady can just put it there. I've always been OK with assuming it was there, so if it actually is, all the better!

I added an addendum to the end of yesterday's 'missing Lightsaber' post Ady. :)

I thought his lightsaber already was in the bird's eye shot. I was going to check last night, but I was distracted by Luke being so quiet that I could barely hear him in some "lost scene".

I just realized something. In the Official Site's "What Has Changed?" comparison between 2004 and GOUT it has many dozens of "Such-and-such has been digitally recomposited." Wouldn't that mean that they had access to all of the elements back when they were doing the 97 SE at the very least? If so why couldn't they fix all of the transparency issues back then? Why do them so half-assed if they had to go back to the base elements anyway?

I know all of these questions have no answers, but I wish they would open up the archives to Ady to allow him to take the time to matte out all of the elements properly. Heck, give him access the original background plates too. Let this one man take the time and his own money to do what Lucas would not do.

Jeez, I'm getting all fired up!

A question for you guys... I was watching the DVD9 the other day on my LG DVD player/recorder

Funny you mention this, because my LG DVD Recorder (LG LRA-850)
ironically doesn't play DVD-R's correctly, only commercially-made DVDs and anything I record using it. I haven't tried the DVD-9 in it because I figure it wouldn't work anyway since nothing I've ever burned works in it. I don't use it for anything but recording anyway, so it's not an issue.

A DVD recorder that doesn't play recorded DVDs? That is ironic. How do they get away with that?
