Personal Update
I’ve been quiet because my 43″ 4k PC monitor’s backlight died and i have been unable to work on anything or use the internet ( my phone is too small for me to use for the net , even with my glasses ? Being old sucks. I’ve had to borrow a small monitor off a friend but only have it for a week, so i may go quiet again until i can afford to replace it
ANHRHD Update

Watching the opening scenes on another thread reminded me of this and forgive me if I’ve already posted it. When the Tantive 4 is being pulled in to the hanger of the Devastator you can hear what sounds like the docking claw scrape the hull and then the film cuts to an exterior shot and the claw hasn’t made contact. If the shots were resequenced you could have the exterior followed by the interior and the scraping sound would carry more impact. Maybe the claw could be slightly animated like its opening in readiness for the ship. Also could Threepio just say “There will be no escape this time”? I’m sure there is a wookiepedia page devoted to why he pretends not to know who Leia is to Luke but he doesn’t need to mention the Princess anyway as she is mentioned in the crawl.
3P0’s line has already been changed to ” there’ll be no escape this time” ever since my original edit. The audio on the clips i post of the HD version are always just a temp track because that would be the last thing that i work on after i have finished the video side of things. As for the matter of the sound of something like a clamp attaching to the ship before its even been pulled in, i thought i had mentioned a long time ago that i would be tackling that ( but i may have fogot its been so long now). Anyway i had finished re-editing that scene last year. Very tricky to do though because of where to be able to cut the music cues for it to work, which is impossible to do without editing the music then getting the visuals to work with the new edit and then rebuild all the dialogue and foley FX. I have only done a very rough audio track to see if it would work so far and will be polishing it up for the final release
RotJR Update
Something i promised to show a while ago but ended up completely forgetting about, was the shot of Luke’s shuttle escaping the Death Star. So here it is:
Original version:
Revisited Version:
That shot took a hell of a lot of work. I had to slow down the gantry and other elements, yet keep the camera movement and the shuttle at the original speed, then track and add the new background. Couldn’t use the original stars to track because they suddenly stop their movement before the end in the original.
