alderan and death star the same explosion…? 😮
Huh? I’m pretty sure that the new Death Star explosion doesn’t use any elements from either of the Alderaan explosions. Unless you were suggesting using the new explosion for Alderaan too, in which case I heavily disagree.
Yup no elements from that composite are used here. 😏
Here it is without the camera shake.

By the way, the explosion effect is great! Sorry if I sound too critical, you’re doing some amazing work.
no that’s fine!
also is it a good idea to add yavin prime:

Where are you trying to make it look like they are?
Outside Palpatine’s office, it looks like.
I personally think it’s a bad idea. One of this edit’s goals is to make Sidious being Palpatine more of a surprise, it would be weird to add more connections between the two. And even in-universe, it would be dumb for Palpatine to invite his secret evil assassin to his very high-profile apartment.
fine, I’ll leave it out.

Hey, I looked through V1 and LOVED it. I’ll be using this as the main base of my private custom SE edit, it’s wonderful work 😃
Just a few technical notes for the upcoming V2:
the Greedo subtitle at 49:47 has the word “sign” misspelled to “sighn”
the shot of Luke running down the prisoner hallway at 1:13:27 is frozen on one frame
good catch.
Death star explosion final.
should I keep the camera shake or leave it out?
https://drive.google.com/file/d/10AQ9f32QcPWHY4TyeDdHmMx8P_n3Gcvt/view?usp=sharingNo camera shake, please. No offense, but it feels sort of “amateurish”. Big explosions being accompanied by camera shaking has never really been a part of Star Wars’s visual language.
The’re very apparent in the prequels though.
Is this even worth the trouble:

The cc is working out better than expected.

Wip CC:
One suggestion if possible is maybe mask Darth Studious’s face (Spoiler Alert) to hide the fact that it’s Palpatine, that’s always annoyed me how no one worked it out lol.
Don’t worry this’ll be done.

Color correction is still a wip.

Assuming you don’t have any ideas I disagree strongly with, and would like to publish your efforts in this way, I’d be happy to take what you do and incorporate them into a future (“official”?) revision of CoD itself.
It’d be an honor.
Hello everyone.
The hal9000 trilogy are the definitive versions when it comes to the prequels, (story wise at least.)
and the effects hold up pretty well, except for one film… Episode 1.
Hal’s ProRes cloak of deception will be the main master, and i’ll build my effects on there.
It has always bothered me that the effects in phantom menace are so out of place in the prequels.
I want to have a definitive version of the trilogy to watch, but Episode 1 always sticks out like a sore thumb.
here are the main issues that I’ve noticed and how to fix them.
Lightsabers too dark/colorless. Fix: replace using dazman’s phantom edit.
too many stars in starfields . Fix: replace starfields (maybe)
Laser’s ugly dull colors. Fix: repaint all lasers. (maybe)
naboo’s scenery in some areas especially in the hangar bay shots look fake. Fix: replace with better environments.
deepfake/paste Darth maul’s face onto the CGI puppet seen falling down the tunnel thingy in the final battle.
replace added spark hits that look fake and bad.
Restore/Clean up films issues.
This edit won’t officially begin until DevEd v.2 is finished.

V.2:
Can someone share with me the latest version of this? Thank you
in what way “latest version” ?
The 1080p version buddyboy.
I don’t know if this has been decided yet, but will there be any blu-ray artwork made for this edit?
I remember seeing a really cool one made for ESB:R, but i cant seem to find it.
Am I the only one who thought the replies sounded a bit sarcastic before actually watching the video? Like, I thought Ady added a ronto walking across the screen or something like that. 😉
But anyways, amazing work! You are truly a VFX god, Ady.
I also thought that at first, 😂

I pasted the officer in white’s footsteps onto the motti shot like you said,
it doesn’t match at all:

The first footstep is off camera
Those footsteps don’t match at all, he backs up one step and we hear like 4.

Any updates for mac? My old match tool is starting to glitch out. I cant pick out the files anymore.
One of the little changes I really like is the use of adding another wide of Obi-Wan, which I’m pretty sure is taken from Light & Magic. Great to see some unused material and VFX being finished for an edit like this!
That’s amazing.
- Make R2’s blinking red/blue light work, as the original prop was broken. Adywan has done this but his will be the 2011 source. TMWNN has done a lot of this, but not the trickier shots where there’s a lot of motion.
For v2 and your edit all of the blinking lights will be completed.
ROTJ has been updated and is available now in the usual places. DrDre’s color matching tool has allowed me to make the Lapti Nek, Death Star II explosion, and ‘Yub Nub’ scenes closer to blending in seamlessly. I remain open to revising it down the road if superior source material becomes available. If Adywan presents a color-corrected ROTJ I’d be glad to update this with it.
ANH will come in time. I await TMWNN’s forthcoming project to fix up the 19SE and color correct it to be close to Adywan’s work on the 2011 BluRay. I plan to publish an update before then, with only minimal color tweaks from the OTD-19SE primary source, and redo it whenever that is ready. I’ll post updates here as I go, as there may be a few things yet that I could use some help with.
what else do you needs help with?
