Fantastic trailer! I just wish we were told more about the artifact they are looking for though.

That Emperor really was bad, guys. I'm sorry. Looks like a lot of work was put into it...but it really pulled me out of the moment.

Why, the Grail, of course! The HOLYcron. What? Vader's already got one?!

Edit: Fig, why didn't you say that in your first statement?

*ahem* Not bad...

Just kidding, it was really good. However, most of the stuff said above in complaint to the movie I agree with.

The emperor was not very convincing, and your female characters didn't grab my attention either. Most of the special effects looked excellent, however one or two seemed to leave something to be desired.

And your lightsabers look kind of cartoony...intentional?

All in all, despite the rant, I am looking forward to the movie happy

I consider it my best competition so far </shameless plug> tongue

As for the sabers, it looks like it was an odd choice of blending modes...what was used?

I think the sabers looked pretty darned good. My guess is that they were composited with Linear Dodge - people are used to screened sabers, which make an attempt to replicate optical compositing rather than proper light sources. Due to the very dark backdrops, I imagine it will be a challenge to composite sabers that will appease the whims of all die-hard saber artists.

Anyhoo, the CG was drool-worthy, but I agree that some of the audio could be more integrated. I noticed the production bears a Dolby Digital Surround Ex (i.e. 6.1 channel??) logo... if this is the case ambience may be affected by stereo downmixing. Someone must have some pretty expensive equipment if they're mixing in 7+channel glory... Which I'm glad to hear given the presence of crazy space battles. Ships in 5.1 or greater kick petootie. In another technical note I noticed some interlacing artifacts.

The emperor did not sell for me either, but I refuse to comment on plot points, acting or choreography until I see the film. It looks very promising!

Ah the fickle mind of a Fig.....




And wow, this looks absolutely amazing.

There were a couple mediocre CG shots (in comparison to the others) but I assume those are just placeholders for the trailer.

I don't know why everyone is so negative. I actually have a pretty good feeling about this.

The fanfilm visual bar has just been raised. Stunning! The audio is a little quirky though - the speech EQ varies wildly from bright to dull, soft to loud. I'm not too fond of speech recorded on set - it lacks the punch and clarity of an overdub.

I dont believe the characters are Star Wars, but I'm looking forward to viewing this anyway. Its obvious the team has strived to be attentive to visual detail and quality.

I HATE YOU GUYS !!!! cry


Seriously, you guys are doing amazing work. The CGI animations are outstanding. The attention to detail is equallly oustanding (as I noticed all sorts of background elements in place which might otherwise go unnoticed adn/or taken for granted because they were so well integrated).

It is quite clear that REVELATIONS will be a FanFilm that will be talked about for years to come. grin


Keep up the excellent work !!!
