Bearing in mind that I enjoyed Into Darkness, I give you the Honest Trailer:

Very funny.

Oh man that was accurate.

Wrong thread, guys. This is for ESB:Revisited.

I think this could be fine. He'll bulk up to look the part, and then Superman will say "I thought you were dead?" and he'll smile and they'll defeat space aliens or whatever.

What the.... No one does that anymore!

Now I'm confused, did they start from scratch with the Tantive IV or just modify the original Falcon model?

The latter.

Why would they take a side-by-side w/ an Eagle model? Is this a photo that was used to help the legal people decide if there was a problem?

I thought it was some sort of new Bulletin Board.

Kirk and Picard getting together like everyone wanted

I never wanted that.

That was so well done that I'm not even going to try and rebut.

The problem with larger cuts (and mine are already pretty large for this scene!) is that the scenes are already edited pretty tightly. Cutting larger amounts of material (apart from a few lines and stuff) tends to have the effect of making scenes feel unnaturally short, which is sometimes just as bad as the stupid stuff that was cut. 

There has to be a very fine balance between content and natural flow. If stuff feels cut out, it'll feel like an edit. And I want to avoid the "edited" feeling as much as possible.

This attitude is one of the reasons I've got confidence that your edit will be good.

Though, I do agree - after watching it a bit - that the landing sequence might seem a little dragged out. Especially the over-the-shoulder cockpit shot, which isn't too visually interesting. Might mess with that to improve the flow.

That may be what I was picking up. To many shots of Valorum's shuttle/party.

Alllllllrighty guys!
Here's some progress I've made on TPM!
Finally something that's not very actiony.

Here's the heroes arriving at Coruscant in TPM.
This is essentially my first run-through with editing, so expect more changes and streamlining along the way.

The removal of Ric's lines make it so we have no idea who the Chancellor is until the scene is almost over, not to mention the really long sweeping shots with nothing happening.

I kinda hope you're commenting a little tongue-in-cheek here, haha. The removal of random exposition (especially exposition that's restated in-context by the characters later - such as introducing the Chancellor) is a major goal of my edit.

I get that, and although I think it's a worthy goal, I think that faneditors can sometimes go a little crazy with cutting too much. Sometime it's okay if something is stated twice. Here, maybe the audience should know who the Chancellor is going into the scene, but it logically makes sense for Palpatine to introduce him to the Queen, so.... huh.

I'll be rescoring the films, so the music won't be an issue later on.

From a technical perspective, how does this work with the arena sounds?

The visual style wasn't the only thing about Angel describable as "over the top."

As much as I agree, can we not go down this road for the millionth time?

I can not wait to read your opening crawl, that's for sure.

EDIT, so I sound like less of an asshole:

I have no idea how this edit is going to work, but I really do look forward to finding out.

Sorry, I'm using my work PC and can't access Vimeo here (only via the Android app on my mobile).  Of the clip in question (a trench run display graphic entitled "Targeting Computer Redesign 2"), he says:

"I'm assisting with VFX for an under-the-radar redux of ANH"

Sure sounds like ANH:R HD to me.  Unless someone else is working on such a project?

Well it wouldn't be under the radar if you'd heard of it, now would it?

Bester said:

If you take a look at Aalenfae's Vimeo account, there is an entry (with comments) that would suggest he is doing preliminary work on ANH:R HD.

Link?

Well that was just beautiful. I know I've been here too long when I immediately noted that it was the Yavin IV takeoff shot without the clouds in front of Yavin.

Also, Sebastian Shaw in 720p! Not nearly enough, but it's something.

The Imperials have the ability to create the Sun Crusher, an indestructible fighter-sized ship that is capable of destroying stars? Give me a break! If the Sun Crusher was some piece of advanced hardware built by an unknown alien civilization, though, that the Imperials just happened to find floating abandoned in the Maw? Now that can work.

 

Indeed, that thing should have had Centerpoint Station-like origins.

So I've finally got around to checking out existing prequel edits (so far L8wrtr's & Secior's TPMs. Is there an existing thread for either of those where I can opine?) and something occurred to me.

Adywan's intense attention to detail and fixing everything possible (see: Han's frozen shirt, among a bajillion other examples) is an impressive hallmark of the Revisited saga. What the heck is he going to do about all the times in TPM when the CG doesn't work? Watching the film, I was actually impressed with how many times the effects did work (given how well the prequels are treated around here and my own memory) but holy cow are there some parts where Jar Jar stands out like a sore thumb, etc. So, thoughts?

Guys, guys, there is a whole thread in Off-Topic for this discussion.

oh DuracellEngergizer, will you ever understand that no one cares about your bizarro joke?

Given the creating life, avoiding death, etc discussion of ROTS, it's really not all that crazy that Palpatine could still be around in some form (see: Lord Voldemort), especially with the whole Ghost Jedi thing apparently being a pretty new idea.
