Synopsis:
This is an old looking, dusty version of the Star Wars Prequel Trilogy saga. No voices, dialogue cards, no sound effects, only John Williams music.
Intentions:
Even before the release of my Star Wars 30?s serial edition (or silent edition) the thought of doing an old looking, dusty version of this edit came to me. I wanted a simple, clean, black and white, 16:9 release first, but to complete the idea of an old silent edition of Star Wars a little more work had to be done. First I did not want to go too far in the changing process, but after some talkings at OT.com (thanks to you all) I began to realize that since a clean version was already available, this new “dusty” version needed to be quite different. What is the Star Wars 30?s serial edition “clean version” ? It’s a 4h40 long silent Star Wars movie (only Williams score), black and white, 16:9 ratio. with dialogues cards, splited in two parts (1 DVD for the prequels, 1 DVD for the original trilogy). Each episode can be watched as a (more or less) 45 minutes episode.
Change List:
- New 4:3 ratio (including “new” camera movements by animating the 4:3 cropping)
- New black and white and sometime different tints (mostly depending on wich planete the action takes place)
- Multiple Premiere Pro filters added to the picture, including a 18 frames per second filter.
- Noises, scratches, vignetting, bluring effects added.
- A simple audio menu with the choice between stereo or a “dusty” mono mix. Stereo version only on the divX versions, for now
(if some would want the mono mix with divx versions, I could make them though)
- Very minor new edits. (including a short new edit of the introduction of Darth Maul facing the 2 Jedi.)
- Minor text changes. (Thanks to Ripplin, for my english is not always very good!)
