g00b,

I sent you a private message yesterday. Can you please respond to my PM?

Hi justinbailey,

I appreciate the enthusiasm behind my work but asking for an updated subtitle file after a couple weeks of getting a sneak peak is a bit much. I can’t possibly work on this project fulltime and I like to share my progress/thoughts/ideas/roadblocks on this forum. You’ll need to wait for the release like everyone else 😃. Progress is a bit slower now that I’m reliant on other people for some voice acting which has meant I’ve taken some focus away from this project (and episode) and shifted myself to other things such as working on Star Wars Story’s Clone Wars Cannon Edition edit. This doesn’t mean I’m not working on this project still or that it’s cancelled, just that progress is a bit slow currently.

Again thanks for your enthusiasm!

A general update on the project:

I’m still waiting on some Voice Over work for the movie (and two episodes for Season 4). The guy I’ve gotten to help me out unfortunately had his microphone break. He’s since gotten it replaced and I’ll hopefully get those lines sometime soon. For now, I’ve done everything I can without that audio.

Because of this setback, I’ve recently been working on Season 1 some more (continuing with the additional audio and adding more alien language). I’ve rewritten and am currently sourcing voice actors for some rewritten dialogue for TIE pilots in my Empire day episode.

I’ve also begun the process of creating a translation for Tseebo. Although this is not entirely needed as Sabine translates a lot of his lines, by making more characters speak their native tongue, it makes sense to subtitle Tseebo as this is the treatment others are getting. For when I’ve got no context to work from when deciphering his lines, I’m taking the approach of having him give fun facts about Imperial vehicles.

I’m still waiting on some voice acting and a final watch through before I begin upscaling.

I also need to re-render my opening crawl as I forgot to apply my recolor work to the space background and I don’t want to recolor the text itself.

So, it’ll still be a little bit longer before I’m working on subs and upscaling 😃

^ see above. I have not started upscaling yet 😃

How much is a little bit longer?

It takes me 3-4 days to upscale 50 minutes of footage, I’ve got a 2:08 movie and two episodes around an hour. So the upscaling alone will take me approximately 18 days (4 x 4.5 lots of 50) but that also assumes I don’t have any power outages (living out bush in Australia, those are quite common).

As for how long it’ll take me to get to that step? It really just depends on how much time I get to work on the edit and what I find in my next watch through.

The process of fanediting is very difficult to put a time length for completion on (which is why I tend not to do that and keep it vague). I’m expecting I’ll have a good amount of time to work on this, hence why I’ve said a little bit longer but if something comes up, such as my parental or university duties, this project gets put aside until I can return to it.

So, to directly answer your question, I’m not sure how much a little bit longer is.

The credits are now done for both the episode and movie variants!

g00b, did you finish making the subtitles for your upcoming movie? If yes, can you upload it to your Terabox?

Not yet justinbailey! Subtitles are something I tend to tackle while I upscale my footage. So subtitles and chapters are one of the last things I do in my workflow. Once I’ve made them, I embed them into the video files, run my compression/streaming optimisations and then add the rest of the metadata.

I’ll uploads the subs when I’ve uploaded everything else (or maybe a touch before BC it uploads quickly due to the small file size).

Does upscaling require you to literally leave your computer (or other equipment) on for 1 - 2 weeks consecutively?

If confirmed, that sounds power-intensive.

😮

For me it does but I do it in maximum 50 minute chunks (or the software crashes for some reason) and that’ll take me like 3-4 days. I also don’t have the best PC 😂😂😂 so it could be sped up!

From what I can tell though it doesn’t use too much power (probably because I’ve got it limited so I can keep editing in the background).

I run off solar power and still end up putting energy back into the grid (and get paid) regardless of if I’m upscaling or not 😃

The movie should have a runtime around 2h 8m which I’m pretty happy about!

It’s taking a decent amount of time to get these credits sorted but I’ll be very happy when it’s complete 😂.

Once that’s done, it’ll also take a while (1 week or two I’m guessing) to get all the footage upscaled before I release the movies and episodes together.

That being said I’ll have time to either work on the earlier seasons some more or other projects while the upscaling takes place.

Just a quick update. I’ve finished cutting for the movie (and two episodes) and I’m very happy with how it’s looking!

I’ve still got to reframe a lot of shots for the films aspect ratio, make end credits for the movie and add more film grain.

For both editions I’ve got some redubbing work to do (to fix some bad stormtrooper stuff as much as possible) and upscale the footage.

So still a little bit away from a release but I’m quite pleased with how things are looking!

Thanks for your input again justinbailey, although I don’t think I follow what you’re saying 100%.

Retaining all of Rukh’s dialogue is not my goal, most of it is bickering with Pryce which I don’t think serves either character too well. In my current work print he doesn’t say anything until he instructs Pryce that Zeb has split away from Ezra and Jai.

I don’t want to make any final decisions yet as I’m still on the phase for these episodes of playing around and seeing what I a) can change well and b) what I can do to improve the story

As I’ve been implementing this idea with minor or one off characters (making them speak their native alien language instead of basic then providing forced subtitles), I’m keeping myself open to this idea for Ruhk, though I want to retain much of his basic dialogue. As an example for these episodes, I’ve replaced the death troopers speaking basic and made them speak their cool garbled language again! To compensate for this lack of understanding, episodes that I’ve done this to come with a defaulted forced subtitles track to cover these moments so you don’t miss anything!

I am aware this decision isn’t everyone’s preference! So I try to keep these moments small and relatively non essential for the broader story.

Again, thank you for you feedback and input! I do appreciate it 😃
