alot of pilots and ground assault team members lost friends in the battle.......the scene could be a little less celebration and a little more quiet reflection / relief that the battle is won. Its just too cheesy the way it is right now.
seems I'm with you on that one Kurgan......though Ming pronounces it "eighty-One"
*wonders if the man himself has a prefered choice between the 2*
Well where would the fun be if there weren't a bunch of surprises?
The wampa is what I'm personally most anxious to see
Got the covered bridge shooting done...went pretty well. Other than the fact that it was WAY more remote than previously expected and my rented generator didn't have any wheels...
EDIT: Still adding things to the mistake list above as I find them
Matt Wood is a glory hound who should have his fingers removed for even thinking of touching the films in the way that he did.
Its taking me longer than I'd like, what with life getting in the way and all that....but I should be doing some model shooting this winter for some of the DVD menu's and special features. Then I'll have another small block of model shooting next fall season when pumpkins are available for sale as I'll need one for several of my shots (I didn't get the model bought and built in time for this year...so that adds a significant delay onto the project). Currently I'm finishing off the replica of the book used in the intro to the film....then when thats done I can allocate money towards the purchase of all the model supplies to build some of the miniature sets I want to make.
So overall I have a whole year to work on the film itself. I have all the frames pulled from the film....just have to figure out how to animate all the changes I want to make....some of it can be done frame by frame....others may be more difficult at which point I'll probably be reaching out for some assistance
Just got back from a weekend in Sleepy Hollow......whew, that place is crazy around Halloween.....shot some live action stuff in the cemetery for the menu's on the eventual DVD. I'm hoping to shoot some more stuff at a covered bridge much closer to home this coming weekend.
In the meantime, here's a list of some of the more glaring visual errors (sound is an entity all its own and will be addressed much later in this process) and other little things that I plan to fix in the film (this doesn't cover film damage, or small visual glitches, dust, scratches, or any of that kind of stuff as that is an obvious fix):
ERRORS TO BE FIXED IN SLEEPY HOLLOW
(The times coincide with the Gold Collection DVD of "The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad")
37:27 Ichabod licks his finger but no actual contact is made
37:37 Ichabod's buttons are not colored in
38:00-38:42 The coloring of the dogs could be more consistent
38:01 The blonde guy is suddenly awake, and the guy with his back turned has a blue bow in his hair that isn't in any other shot and the green coated guy has a pipe in his mouth that isn't in any other shot as well as his head changing positions
38:10 The pink shirted guy's right leg is out of place
38:19-38:35 The pink shirted guy's pants are pink instead of brown
38:24 The green coated guy disappears after this shot
38:26 The bunghole is on the wrong side of the cask of beer
38:28 The guy on the left and the one in the middle have switched spots
38:30 There are 2 extra mugs in Brom's hand in the 2nd shot of him sweeping them up into his fist.......remove 2 from the cluster and put one of them on the table in front of him to grab as he goes by.......then leave one on his hand when he flings the rest down the table (and put it on the table in front of him as he smashes the barrel)
38:34 The guys around the table need to be re-arranged closer to their original positions as they later appear to be back where they belong
38:48 Brom's socks dissapear
39:02 The blue bow in the redhead's hair shifts oddly
39:37 The bow on the back of the woman's dress needs to be made pink instead of black
39:41 The guy in the brown coat is in the wrong spot and needs to be moved from behind the table to in front of it (and he's wearing the wrong hat.....his hat should just stay gone from when it falls off his head)
40:01 Change Ichabod's undershirt to something other than hot pink
40:20 Change the color of the yellow/brown shirt on the left as it is too similar to the child Ichabod goes home with a few shots later
40:38 There are 2 missing students in this shot, one on the right, and one on the left (take them from the earliest possible point in the shot from 40:18)
40:57 Ichabod's fingers go behind the knob on the serving tray
41:04 Ichabod's quill casts no shadow on the wall
41:04 (and onwards) Change Ichabod's undershirt to something other than hot pink...throughout the film
41:10 Ichabod's fingers go past the opening of the pocket without going in
41:11 Ichabod's coat pocket is a lighter green than the rest of the coat
41:11 Ichabod's fingers should already be in the pocket at the begining of the shot
41:40 The house at the end of the road does not match the closeup shots that follow
41:58 Fuzzy frame
42:06 The brown coated guy's coat is too long and has sleeves and the green coated fat guy is wearing the wrong hat
42:23 Part of the redhead's hat suddenly turns the same color as her hair
42:36 Insert brown coated guy laughing from 38:19 and fix the green coated guy's hat again
42:42 The inside of Ichabod's left shoe changes color briefly
43:09 Part of Katrina's parasol briefly changes color
44:53 The dropped feather goes behind ichabod, but then in front of the stool he's on
45:06 The white of Ichabod's eye goes beige
45:31 Katrina's parasol has lines drawn on it in this one shot only
45:57 Theres a small gold bit underneath the watch chain and another on the upper right chest area that appear between the fade between Baltus and Ichabod......the chest one seems to be coins hidden in a pocket, but they don't line up with Ichabod when he fades in.
46:11 The book and gloves on Ichabod's desk dissapear
46:55 Katrina's small suitor turns to look at Brom one too many times...he needs to watch everyone walk away instead of turning back to look at Brom....freeze him and animate the eyes
47:06 The pumpkin stems should be grey/green, not orange
47:22 (and onwards until Brom rides Ichabod down) Ichabod's flower is missing
47:46 Katrina's parasol changes color
48:23 (and onwards) Brom's hat is missing in certain shots
50:36 Ichabod's undershirt appears above his waist but is not colored in
50:38 (and onwards intermittently) Ichabod's flower is missing
50:49 Brom's hat dissapears somewhat clumsily
51:14 Remove flower from twin Ichabod's hands (they throw it away, but he needs to have it again in the schoolhouse)
51:23 Add flowers to twin Ichabod's lapels
51:58 Katrina's PS appears darker than the other writing when before matched perfectly
52:31 Ichabod's flower has dissapeared
53:01 The pumpkins have white glows under them instead of shadows
53:33 Ichabod's match comes out of nowhere
53:50 The apples next to Brom keep changing
55:31 The trapdoor is a different shade than the other floorboards
55:49 The trapdoor behind Brom appears green and should be evened out in all other shots as well
56:15 Fuzzy frame and frame is flipped
56:46 Katrina is wearing the wrong dress and does not have her choker on
57:24 The coffee/tea being poured is very blurry
57:52 Ichabod's cup goes empty
1:00:13 (and onwards till end) Ichabod's clothes are no longer the same color
1:01:02 Ichabod is partially see through for a frame
1:01:08 Ichabod's cuff buttons dissapear
1:03:51 The bullrushes go from brown to black
1:05:01 (and onwards till end) Ichabod's buttons are either not colored in or missing
1:05:18 Ichabod's head appears through his hat for a frame
1:05:20 The horseman has his head in his hand but in the next shot does not
1:06:09 (and onwards) Ichabod's umbrella loses its color in certain shots
1:07:14 Ichabod's fingers go behind the knob on the serving tray
Please feel free to report any errors or things you may have noticed. Theres no way I've caught them all....and I'm sure theres a few I've seen but have forgotten to include in this list......they'll be added as I remember them or as you report them....

Ultimately i'm nitpicky on this scene because I really think something needs to change in it. From the start of the movie, Luke seems like such a different character and seems to posses so much confidence, but I feel this sequence diminishes that. Still, the rancor itself is far too iconic to just cut I think.
I know his options are limited and he's not in the best position...but he's supposed to be a jedi, or just short of one, at this point damnit. Hiding under a rock and physically hurling a piece of debris at a panel just feels so weak sauce to me.
Seems to me that it shouldn't be too difficult to film insert footage of a "Luke" force grabbing the skull off the floor and flinging it at the button....ala Darth Maul in Ep I. Existing shots of Luke could be modified, a douvle could be filmed from behind if necessary, and a quick insert shot of a skull flying off the ground....done

Also keep in mind guys that the Sith eyes were already established with Ian McDiarmid's make-up:
Alot more subtly done than in the prequels
Its never said that once turned he'd serve the emperor. (thats the emperors plan....but who's to say what would happen) He's wild with anger...for all we know he could have slayed Vader, then turned on the emperor and taken all the power for himself. Its all possibilities at that point.
Sepharih said:
Anakin at least had an established reason for wanting to become the emperor's apprentice....but luke has no such motivation. There are subplots which could have been established to give him more motivation.....
Like threatening to turn his sister to the dark side?
I'm with Buddy on this one......it was cheap and silly. A ham-fisted addition to poor story and character direction.

Dang it....and I'm even subscribed to one of those threads....I've been noticing a real problem with email updates from OT.com lately

Point taken, particularly about the movement. I don't mind a little PT in my OT if we're trying to tie them together as a saga (as both Ady and Lucas are doing, really), but point taken.
Nor I.....but I DO firmly believe that Lucas is working backwards. Instead of making the PT feel more like what he had already created, he made it completely different and is going back to attempt to make the originals fit better with his new "films". The dug IMHO is the least invasive of all the changes....BUT it was done wrong. It should have been re-clothed, so as not to be a blatant copy of the AOTC one.....then should have been made to fit the action of that particular shot (some half-way decent CGI would go a long way as well)
Having one character move through the frame while all others are imobile is a way of drawing attention towards that particular character....in much the same way that you'll notice main characters walking down a crowded street will often be wearing brighter clothes than any of the extras who are there simply as "filler". If he had wanted to add a prequel alien to the thing to make a link between PT and OT then he should have had the dug relaxing in a corner like everyone else. A battle droid head in a pile of scrap is a good example of this.....its doing what the rest of the junk is doing....nothing. And your attention is still on the subject of that particular frame....the red droid that later blows his motivator

He's also stated on numerous occaissions that ESB is a near perfect film as it is...and that it would be the one requiring the least amount of additions. Where as deleted scenes could very well make an appearance in ROTJ:R, you can bet money that you won't see any in ESB:R
Ever notice how when a really successful new food product comes out, does well for a few months, then all of a sudden you notice they're making them smaller, putting less topping on them, or the recipe tastes cheaper? Well thats essentially what GL has done. The brand was established, then brand loyalty.......then he could do what he wanted. Its not going to change

I guess we should be complaining that Yoda hasn't looked right since 1983 no matter the film.
Thats about where I'm at...
not to mention...what is that? Air? Being shot out of his projector and head...thing?
