copy and paste into your url baby!

LandoSpeeder
Is it unfinished episode III footage with a fan made background in the green screen?

Mist
yes.

Mist
i do realise the sound effects are quite lame but they were the only ones i could find at the time. just download. no talking, only downloading.

LandoSpeeder
Didn't really care for it that much but it's ok. The lightsaber sounds were awful.

moonwalker741
the first 10 seconds was awesome...but i can tell you compressed it alot...but good work..i enjoyed the beggining part of it, the ending, ehhhh, so so

Mist
how the hell did u download it so fast?

LandoSpeeder
We posted at the same time. Sorry.

Mist
yeah but what can ya do. its not my fault the footage is crappo

LandoSpeeder
It just downloaded really fast.

Mist
14.8 mbs downloading fast? i want that!

LandoSpeeder
It's not crappo. It's pretty good for fan made but I've just seen so many things with the Ani/Obi fight it's just kind of hard to get real exited.

Mist
yeah, but its taken so long for me to post since the dvds came out, so everyone would have already watched the footage before......nothing i can do about it. oh well.....

LandoSpeeder
Nice work still.

Mist
thanks. (by the way, if anyone says its crap or anything, just remeber the long hours of rotoscoping i had to do and the point where my hands nearly fell off. )

LandoSpeeder
Is quick time the only format you can upload it with? I would like to put some of the footage in my Star Wars trailer I've been working on but windows movie maker won't let me import a video with a quick time format.

musashi_sw
Plz the link doesnt work some one plz post any outher link!

Mist
oh great, now the link dont work!

Sith Master X
Link isn't working for me.

Mist
<INSERT COARSE PROFANITY>

Mist
ok, the bandwidth has been exceeded. just wait a while or get someone else to post

BAILY
Nice job Mist. I really liked watching it. It looked like you put a lot of work into it and it payed off. That beginning part could have been stolen right from the film, if I didnt know better. Excellent job. Yet more whistle wetting for ROTS.

LandoSpeeder
I'm about to post it again.

JKozzy
Thank you Lando. I anticipate smile

Mist
thanks lando. and thanks baily, thats the stuff i wanna hear!

Mist
for some reason, a few frames were left out when i imported the footage back into premiere. thats why it looks laggy.

vanyoda
That was great Mist , I made another
link for everyone.

When that thing that's counting down gets to zero it will let you download it.

Mist
thanks guys.

jedijunky1138
kinda choppy but nice rotoscoping.

LandoSpeeder
What is rotoscoping anyway?

SomeGuy57
Yeah, what is rotoscoping and how do you do it? Especially with the lightsabers when they are moving to fast?

SomeGuy57
can someone please post a link again?

darthgreat07
Good job Mist. If it wasnt fuzzy it would be great. You got me so excited for the Duel!!!!

Batman316
just don't get too excited in here Junior wink

The Ones
Kinda cool. a bit bulky and the backgrounds arent good. and it doesnt flow and it runs slow. otherwise its great

eXSBass
If you want my constructive critism here it is. I am not writing this to bash, but to tell you why I didn't like it.

Cons
- The graphics were bulky and the sounds was atrocious
- The flow was poor and the viewing size was terrible

Pros
- I take into account you had limited freedom
- You really tried and put your effort in
- Duel of the Fates was the perfect piece for this


But then again, I am not one to complain because I haven't even made the effort to try!

But nice attempt at editing anyway, and good luck in future projects - which I hope to see. smile


Edit: I'm serious. I aint bashing, but just explaining why I didn't like it. And one last thing, the "tempo" of the duel was complecated. Both fast and slow.

Sith Master X
Links still aren't working for me.

Grievous_90210
same here

LandoSpeeder
The ezshare link still works. remember it has to count down to zero before the link to download it comes up.

Grievous_90210
lightsaber effect=good
bluescreen background=shit
sound effects=in between

Sith Master X
Ok thanks Lando. wink

Mist
a) lightsaber effects ive done for ages so i know how to do them
b) bluescreen background was the only one i could find with a volcano in background
c) sound effects were taken from jedi outcast and were the only ones i had to use.

i know it sounds poor. i cant help it. i know the video quality and frame rate is poor. i cant help it. i just had to work with what i was given.
hence, if i was given good quality footage with a good background pic, i could do a better job. plus i could easily get sound effects from TFN, i just dont want to.

all the comments i take into account. i know the video is pretty crap. i couldnt help it. sorry.

Mist
rortscoping is going frame by frame and drawing over the top of the footage. in SW - original trilogy, they hand painted over every frame for the lightsabers. im doing the same thing, except on a PC.

you only see a lightsaber prop for each frame, so its not like you have to sit there and 'guess' where they are. (although some frames i had to guess cause i couldnt see the damn things).

Mist
ps. this was the first time i have used bluescreen and done a full 25-odd second footage rotoscoped with sound. not bad for an amateur, eh?

bILLYgOAT
thanks you Lando

bILLYgOAT
Thanks for the video and your hard work in publishing it Mist.
It looks great, just a little choppy (probably me running too many progs in background tho) smile
I think the final few frames are from the the duel in Palps office when Ani strikes a fellow Jedi (not Obi) hence the lighting effects on the side of Hadens face look almost like force lightning close by...who knows eh?

Cheesiness
It's obviously too good to be true, because the link doesn't work!!!

You #$%&! mad mad mad

vador_2444

bvader
Hi there, I'm a freelance VFX Artist. I think I'm gonna give a go at this, I got some sweet programs to use, and I have worked on many green/blue screen projects. I will start a new thread for it, when I have some thing to show.

LandoSpeeder

g3orge

g3orge

sorry pal

JKozzy
...english please?

sasa
I like the background animation though...but i still didnt impress by it and kinda a disappointment..sorry...hope u can make even better !! big grin
Quick question :

Wut software did u use to edit those blue-screen and replace them with some nice background??

vador_2444
Mist , I think you are a beginner in "after effects"... I can understand so

Mist
never used after effects, (well, once) i dont like the layout of that program...too confusing.

i use premiere and photoshop only. (well, particleillusion for the background smoke)

zavin
I've done the duel, with different background and sound, hope u like it!
It's compressed on avi, with divx
If u can't see it, i'll upload one in quicktime next week!
Change the "," for "." and the ** for "t"
h**p://s2,yousendi*.,com/d,aspx?id=1IV76SZY

DenKi
not working, fs just post link.

zavin
ok ok!
i'll post ot again in 15 min! i'm uploadig it again 'cos i forgot the page

DenKi
link link link.

Morridini
I think the problem with your previous link was that it wasn't the entire link, it was way too short.
And also, u don't have to change everything to post a link, just removed the t's in http with *s.

Captain REX
Post it somewhere that actually works. The two you guys have been using do not work.

Morridini
Huh?
Both yousendit and ezshare works fine.

DenKi
link plzz

zavin
the file is 18 mb and it takes long to upload it!
please have patience! don't let the dark side take over u!
use the force, think!
WAIT!

DenKi
well im sorry master i dont know what came over me

zavin
Ok!
i did it! replace the ** with"t"
h**p://s19.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=2Y5RY8JFVOGI235I96H8VD7XD9

Remmber that is avi and it's compressed with divx
Next week: quicktime!
ENJOY!

DenKi
woohoo downloading it

Morridini
Hm, that was well done (at least thousands times better then anything I could make). I noticed the ending was from the game trailer.

DenKi
it was amazing, Anakin looks really good, I just cant think why Anakin is fighting Obione and hates him so much, omg i cant wait


How do u make the light saber effects anyway!?!

eXSBass
I'm d/l now. I'll edit the post with my comment.
Just hoping it's longer than the other previous version.
**Finger Crossed** smile



Okay my comment.

I can't really comment on it because it was so damn jerky. It aint the authors fault...maybe it is wink (Due to the wrong compressor being used), but it looks really great. Just need to sort it out a little. I like the intro though.

LandoSpeeder
Get AlamDV2. I have a free version of it. I'll upload it for ya and pm it to ya. wink

LandoSpeeder
Awesom! And yes it's longer than the other one.


Nice work zavin. thumb up

Jedi Priestess
sheesh here already, one of you other guys could have done this instead of having the poor boy type the **'s messed

http://s19.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=2Y5RY8JFVOGI235I96H8VD7XD9

zavin
Yeah! u liked it!
It's my first work as a director/editor!
I used after effects, and premiere for the music!
Have u noticed the lightning in the end?
And the background is for the trailer, after the close-up on anakin's face, the lava. I wanted to put pic of lava on the background but it looked sad!
I'm proud of my work! next step ->> star wars episode 7!
Remember next week!! quicktime edit!

zavin
Another question!?
If you want i cant try again, but with another codec (and the images in another order)
What codec can i use (for compressing avi or quicktime)

zavin
h*tp://s19.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=2XKU8PX21VRUN02Z6ZF90K99VU

Three Owls
just curious Mist, what steps did you take in doing this? I know my procedure is a filmstrip from premiere to photoshop.

Also, why didn't you do the clashes? In my experience, that's the easiest part.

nuwine200419
Can anyone please put another link

.:Space Opera:.

Torik_Shai
Question: What is a good site to download lightsaber sound effects from? I figure this would be the place to ask.

LandoSpeeder2
Maybe here http://wso.williams.edu/~rfoxwell/starwars/SWSounds.htm I haven't looked around in their much but it might be good.

Torik_Shai
Nah, those are all character quotes. Thanks though.

LandoSpeeder2

Torik_Shai
Oh yeah, you're right. Thanks. big grin
