# Papier mache.
It's the way of creating a base to paint over without making it big. However, that may make it look good and probably less crappy.

I think it does have a sort of nice thing with it just being boxes too though. Make a death star run with boxes, or is it just a small space you're using, like an alleyway?

EDIT: I mean I suggest papier mache and you probably know that anyway. I'd just do that if I were to paint it, but then it may lose the shape it has.

# you've basically nailed the two options.
i think the plan is to have the tie fighter/x wing dog fights as people running about in the park and the approach to the trench done through model work with a card "x wing view finder" over the top of the camera. We want to recreate the actual shots used in the film...
(, Sat 2 Feb 2008, 13:40, archived)
# Dock yard? All them crates...
Be sure to really badly match two shots as it passes into the trench and unsuccessfully attempt to hide the join with a laser flash. Then repeat said dodgy moment twice so we can all make sure it was indeed dodgy.

# Play.com does have an 'Original Version as seen in cinemas in '77' version
but it is a bit of a lie, I actually have it on video before anything was done to correct all the problems they had with the tech in the first one, all the garbage matts, bad colour matching, transparencies and 'blurro vision' under the land speeder and such, all still intact, and not evident in this 'original' version, also the sound is very cleaned up, I think it's taken from the early 'Laser Disc' version, but shot for shot it is identical, so not bad.

# well the actors will be in the x wing and tie costumes
so just them in the costume i think will be good enough.

I'm not sure how to do darth yet. I could either go for the comedy "box on head with angry face drawn on it" or make an actual mask and costume out of card with detail..


i'm tempted by the latter
(, Sat 2 Feb 2008, 13:47, archived)
# Could do it with the rebels looking even worse than the Imperials.
You could have tie pilots as well, if you want to go into it.

I think a Darth mask would add to it. But it wouldn't take anything away if you didn't want to include it.

# Nah, the joke should be that it's effectively shite
So Kentuky bucket on head (front cut out) with a pair of sunglasses and a builders dust mask underneath, cape made of binbag, maybe a bit of shoulder pads/chest box/marigolds painted black, but not too well done or the joke doesn't work.

Be sure to do lots of hand motions that don't match your dubbing

Also, you have to keep all the original pictures you take on the memory card. Even if they're crap or all blurry, you keep them. Keeps the chain of evidence intact.

And if you DO have to change them in anyway, you make and edit a copy. The system will then log every pixel that's changed and how it has changed.

a shitty digitial will give you all the low down phunked up lo fi feel of a 1963 rizla box slr 2 stroke whatever with fungi pixie 23.6 film or whatever bollocks you happen to have

For old mechanical tools, and things you can actually see working, like vinyl and film cameras and carburettors. I wouldn't claim the results are better, but the process should be part of the fun as well. You might have to be a geeky engineer to appreciate it.

# YOU ARE BUFF. I SAY YOU BUFF, SO YOU BUFF. GOT IT, BUFF?
i don't mind switching my brain partly off, but i can't do it completely (or 90% off), and that's what so many films seem to require.

i guess it would be easier if most off the brain-off films weren't also hopelessly jingoistic, patronising and bigoted or clueless about other cultures.

i am expecting too much of them, i know. but, crap can be good! it doesn't have to be bad on top of being crap.
