Im working on jazzing up raw (blue/greenscreen) footage from the duel. it should be done by the end of april (if i can, sooner) ill give a specific date when im almost finished. here are some pics of my work so far. almost everything in the pics will be changed some how in the finished product. it might be the lightsaber's, background or it might be cut completely. tell me what you think so far:

adamrubin
cool can you post the original version of the viseo or your version please

HAROLD

you mean the footage before my edits?

The Ones
a realy rough pic (going to be changed and improved greatly!)

TheElectricFox
yep blades are off color

The Ones
as i said its going to be improved. i mean the arch isnt even on the "ground/lava" and as you said the sabers are going to be improved

TheElectricFox
so what type of sabers style are you going to make them?? AOTC, ESB??? or ROTJ?

The Ones
i dont want to sound like an idiot but what do you mean by saber style? the colour?

TheElectricFox
the color style varies per movie as so does the blade width and glow

The Ones
the 1st pic i posted has a rough outline of what im going for (the one with obi and ani on the rock) the colour is just going to be clearer and a tad bit darker

12345m
looks like it's coming along nicely i'm working on it to

The Ones
kool. post your version in here to please

12345m
i'll post some screen shoots in a bit

The Ones
k, should i go for red v blue or blue v blue?

12345m
i done blue v blue but it's up to you i did a red v blue a while back though i'll see if i can find it

(i prefer blue v blue)

12345m

12345m

The Ones
ok the release of this rotoscoping will be: 23rd April 2005. its not too much footage but if someone can post some more raw footage otherthan the ones from webdoc 16 then it will be better (length wise) but the release will still stay the same (TBC)

12345m
i'll upload some

zavin
using the dvd footage would be hot, mesa thinks, i have it but it takes to much to upload

12345m

i'm using dvd footage but lots of other pieces 2

The Ones
could you send me the dvd footage 12345m?

adamrubin
yes me too please

The Ones
erm. ive only got 20-25 seconds of raw footage. could someone post atleast 1 minute of raw footage from obi wan vs anakin?

Naredhel
lol, yeah when he said off colour, he meant the red one should be blue stick out tongue

The Ones
i thought it might give some originality for it to be red v blue but ive changed it to blue v blue (much easier to animate)

The Ones
Please?

The Ones
A new screen shot (unfinished)

The Ones
the release of the rotoscoping will be pushed back to april 26th due to more footage to be completed with editing and to select a soundtrack

can't wait to see it

adamrubin
me too

The Ones
due to production halts and me being sick and revision to do. the duel will be pushed back to saturday. though i have uploaded a clip (unfinished) to give you a teaser of whats to come. plus how do you rip dvds. im trying to get some more raw footage uploaded for rotoscoping. and whats a good editing program that doesnt give crappy quality like in the clip?


clip: http://s4.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=3PV5JK6SR016A2UVB7PX6HDDIH

Mist
id tell you, but its illegal.

The Ones
pm me it please

Mist
what are you using for the sabers? they look pretty good.

The Ones
After effects 6. if i get a good editing program that doesnt give shit quality then they will look better

Mist
mkay...you have inspired me to go back and remake mine.....but...better than what it was..coz ive learnt a few things since thencool

The Ones
ive cut some scenes that you have seen on page 1 and changed some around

The Ones
ive had a look at the few rough cuts of the rotoscoping and im not satisfied with it. im going back and redoing it.

ive decided to release it on saturday to those who are on my PM list. if you are one of the 1st 25 people to pm me with a request for an early "screening", you will get it . others will have to wait till monday to see it. its like HS but without paying money to see it early. its the speed you have to pay

LightSaber_Part
Oh wow, these clips look really great!!yes

I really like editing video footage, I have edited about four movies that my friends and I have made. (on a Hi-8 camera and using Dazzle Digital video creator 150.)
I wish I could rotoscope but i don't have $600 for Adobe Premiere and $600 for Adobe Photo shop.

The Ones
ive gone back and refinalised the clip i posted earlier. and lightsaber, i havnt spent a penny on after effects, photoshop or premiere. i just downloaded them. and i will be releasing a special edition 1 day before the movie opens. (many thanks to 12345m for helping me with the special edition) with a few surprises
