if only we could see these mock ups in motion

hey, so what are LFL's feelings on revisited ming? Are they considering taking some of ady's ideas to heart?

i like it. i'm anxious to see it when u have it ready. i can't wait to see how you do the next movie. you're doing a renascent of empire and jedi aren't you?

Making the floor glossy like we see in the establishing mattes/shots.

-Angel

 that floor is a little dirty. needs some polishing.

aside from that, awsome mock ups vaderios. i like the idea of seeing the death star cannon, but like you said, it's at a weird angle. unless the area they're in is extremely small compared to the cannon.

My stab at a less obviously green Endor :

 no offense vaderios, but that's the best endor i've seen yet. if we could keep that for the film, that would be cool.

vaderios said:

Indeed^

Ok back the light stuff, to keep the olders more happy here's a set of revealing the detail instead of crushing it..

-Angel

 i think they're all too bright, they should stay just as they are. only thing i would keep is the grey death star, other then that, no.

goodpoint. a lot of planets look strikingly similiar in SW. except for the unique planets such as hoth and them.

can't wait to see it!

A third test of endor http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hA6Y-mnlHqA

this idea came from darth venal early matte painting of the emperor's arrival so i tried replicating to the best of my abilities

 it says to me the video has been removed. oh, well. vaderios, keep it goin' on those mock ups. you got a lot of freakin' skill. could prolly go into the movie business and do concept art for the director. ;)

here is the real link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MIAbaifWJgw

 thx! however, though endor is a forest moon, wouldn't it look more earthlike in someways? it looks more like dagobah in the deleted scene in episode III

Nice idea there Bingo.. I like the coorp of the station-fleet guys..

-Angel

 amazing how much blue tint was in these films.

vaderios, u should do some mock ups of the death star II blowing up. i'd like to see different ways it could blow up. maybe a skull face or something.

okay maybe a little geeky, but do wat u think sounds cool.

Whenever ROTJ:R comes out... If even half of these suggested fixes get put in, the movie will be way more dynamic looking than ever before. It'll almost be like watching a brand new film, lol.

 i second that. i especially look forward to what ady will do to the battle of endor scenes, more specifically the space battle.

We need everyone on this topic satisfied.

;)

Palpatine's face really needs a broken exterior light source to show him off to best advantage (an analogue for moonlight through an open window).

If some could create a patterned shadow in the rough shape of some of those window frame forms and up the lighting between it would have a really spooky gothic noir look when it played across the prune faced one.

 i was thinking of something simliar

JediMasterFisher said:

wow these Return of the Jedi images are just stunning! If this could be done to Jedi it would be amazing.

 i'm sure it's possible, with a lot of time and patience involved anyways.

i'm motivated now ;)

with the binders, i don't recall any energy binders in the pt, not a bad idea though.

Palpatine in Invsible hand :)

-Angel

 did not notice that...

vaderios said:

*pop*

Useless effect of the day

Aka ROTS chains... whatever there are already simple chains in PT, just thought a Luke skywalker must help up more tight... after the mistakes the sith did in PT as well.

 

-Angel

 i think the first pic makes the set look fake, however more evil, like a sith's lair.

with the binders, i don't recall any energy binders in the pt, not a bad idea though.

His skin actually looks real in ROTJ. In ROTS, it looks like he's wearing a rubber mask and has 2 yellow pennies in his eyes.

 that was his actual face, not the eyes, there was just a lot of make up involved.

Yeah, I know. Which is why I just don't understand how it can look so fake.

 good point.

btw, awsome mock ups vaderios. ur an expert at this stuff! ;)

i can relate...

I just thought about a couple of things:

(1) maybe the arm stump could be modified further to show a metal "bone" coming out of the stump, ie. a mix of the Terminator endo-skeleton mixed with some other components (as opposed to just generic wiring at the end)

(2) I always had a problem with Vader taking a knee(l) when Luke is whacking at him - it always felt like Vader wasn't beaten down by Luke so much as David Prowse was told to just get down and let Mark/Luke whack away.  Maybe some editing magic could be used to take that brief scene out (Vader fights back, cut to Luke whacking away/ cut to Vader already down with Luke pummeling him/ then cuts arm off)

 i think we need to take a closer look at the arm from episodes I and II to get a good idea of the arm.

with vader falling, i always assumed he tripped. i guess we could have luke wacking him with his fist.

i don't remember the novel mentioning anything about flaps. i don't think it's an issue. then again, we need something to keep the thread goin'.

*Pop*!

Palpy with his real colors. Also more focus to the face since it was way too dark..

 

-Angel

 I liked the ROTS make up better. it made him look more menacing, how a sith should be. besides, in ROTS Ian Mcdyrmind was happy to use is actual face and not a mask. You up to the challenge vaderios?

on the videos, ady said he wouldn't do any flashbacks, still its a neat idea. I wish there was a way to extend the range of planets at the end. i would've thought george would put kashyke in there.
