Thanks for supporting. I'm watching the movie in parts, so as to watch it carefully and see what comes to mind.

Here's another.. right after the Sidious/Grievous hologram scene, we move to an establishing shot of Coruscant, then to a more precise establishing shot (padme's building), and right after that the characters are shown.

But remembering ESB SE (where there's another couple scene), we've got the establishing shot of Bespin at the begininig of the act (the SE Bespin aproach shot), then we move to Dagobah, and when we return to Bespin, there isn't another Bespin establishing shot, but just showing Leia's building. So what about cutting that little Coruscant shot?

BTW, don't know why, but that scene is one of the few moments in the film when I find it believable that Anakin could become Vader...I can't tell why, maybe the way he looks, he seems to have darker clothes and hair, or something.

Minutes later in the movie, I see no sense in the scene of Anakin and ObiWan right after Ani speaks to Yoda. If it is to warn us about Palpatine, well, no sense. And if it's to tell that the Senate is voting more executive powers on Palpatine's person, then there was no reason for Palpatine to precipitate the things by revealing he's a Sith. But, if you cut that scene, then we get the ilusion of Anakin and Palpatine having an actual friendship (Anakin gets to the chancellor's office without being called)

That is an excellent point, and after saying that, you're right. That scene is completely useless.

What if instead of Syfo-Dias (?) the cloners of Kamino told Obi-Wan that Qui-Gon had ordered the army? To the Jedi Council sense this would make since Qui-Gon often defied them and was more a rebellious Jedi.

 I have brought this up in the past but it never went anywhere.

 Can't this be said about most ideas in the thread? There have been numerous creative possibilities but nobody yet has set out to make a fan edit out of them.

There are a number of reasons why things don't happen. Just the simple complication of replacing Syfo-Dias and Qui-Gon in the conversation for example.

A lot of times people just don't agree with ideas. That is why there are more prequel edits than there anything else. Just ask Frink.

My best advice to the person who wants their ideas realized, do your own edit. Again, that's why there are so many edits out there.

It's just one that TM mailed to a few people.

It is great... TM has MIA lately.... Kinda tempted to take his workprint, and adjust the color... At least it would be something.

Any good reference for a nice space battle choreography?

Battlestar Gallactica doesnt count.

Well, how about Battlestar Galactica?

:p

If you did that, then the story for Attack of the Clones would not make sense.

Is this a trick?

Doesn't seem to complicated to me... I'd have to look at the movie again though.

OT rocks, PT sucks?

;-)

Amen.

In a way PT forces you get emotional involved under carefully placed colors and tones.

 

Prequel Trilogy and emotionally involved in the same sentence...

Does. Not. Compute.

 

 

Exactly... I think that is George Lucas and many of filmmakers issue these days... They believe the spectacle will get you emotionally invested in the film they are selling you. It can be as pretty as can be, but if you don't care about the people in the story you will never be emotionally involved. I don't think pretty pixels do that. Never have with me anyway.

Meant to say "Watto's shop."

He did..... Some rotoscoping, some by zooming in... But he left in when they are in Watto's shot. Said that it could just be assumed he's another customer.

Speaking on this edit though.... I urge you to watch it just to see one of the most fubared endings I've ever laid my eyes on.

Felt a bit like this...

ET: The Atari 2600 Video Game?

Is it sad that I spent many hours playing this game as a kid?

The Last Starfighter? Always thought that movie would be cool is someone could take the CG effects and refine them. I don't have the knowledge for that one, but it would make for a great edit.

Dan beat me to it... Use the Greedo fight. You may have to cut out when Qui-Gon calls him Anakin... Not sure he should know his name yet.

What kind of effects work have you done on this?

Thanks guys. It's been a game changer for sure.... But a good one.

Sorry that I inadvertently hijacked the thread.

To get it back on topic... Bob, what scene have you most been working on as of late?

I understand, Bob... My wife just had our first child a little over a week ago, and I'm surprised I found time to write this.

Have you been able to work anymore, Bob?

I used to think those looks were not possible with motion video, because it would require a lot of masks and just yeah..... A lot of work, but since I've seen Bob Garcia wield AE CS5 I believe it could happen. I'd try it myself if I had a 64 bit system.

Well, anyone is welcomed to use the shots if they wish, but personally if I saw those shots inserted it would make me shut the movie off. Just sayin'.

That's not entirely true. He almost dropped it because of Lucasfilm.... But then picked it up again. He left it because of technical issues... Mainly the complications of swapping out music if I recall correctly.

But to stay on topic..... Ady, hope things are going well. Looking forward to the edit. Everything I've seen so far looks great!

No offense, but anyone who uses footage from that abomination should be ashamed.

Oh, and replace those dopey shots of TV switcher controls for the Death Star firing sequences. Takes you right out of the movie.

I thought I was the only one who noticed that... Drives me insane every time I see them. Of course I spent 10 year in broadcasting.

TM, you alive, buddy?

Anything else being considered here? Are we still waiting on a script?
