Fifth Brother VFX Rework- Kenobi Fanedit

Жыл бұрын

I've decided to use my VFX knowledge to take my Kenobi edit to the next level, and among other things I will alter the look of the Fifth Brother.
This was a first testing phase from the last week.
By the votes of majority of faneditors on Reddit, "Look only" version will end up in the final edit.
DISCLAIMER:
This is a non-profit, transformative fan project. It was made as an experiment in VFX and editing, and will feature multiple breakdowns and tutorials with the goal of promoting creative thinking and filmmaking technology. I respect the original creators of the series and the series overall. Without it, this edit and, all the other fan-art wouldn't be possible.
This is not intended to fix, or belittle, or replace the original series in any way, but is supposed to be viewed as an alternative approach to the same story. Neither this project nor I are affiliated with Disney/Lucasfilm in any way!
PLEASE NOTE:
Because this project is based on the protected IP and I'm doing it purely for fun in my free time, I am NOT taking any donations for it, neither am I receiving any benefits.

@@CrazyHorseInvincible he’s a character who existed in one medium (animation) before being transferred to another. (live action) it’s perfectly rational to consider the degree to which the new design in Kenobi is similar to his original design in Rebels. The changes made in this video or objectively more in line with his original design. I thought that was neat, so I left a comment expressing that notion.

@@rohanthomas4134 "Similar to his original design" credits your intelligence more than "accurate." It acknowledges that we're talking about art rather than a definitive and objective standard of accuracy. It also doesn't give fictional events the same weight as real-life ones.

@rohanthomas4134 Жыл бұрын

@@CrazyHorseInvincible But are there not aspects of art that we can apply objective criteria to? Are there not many instances when the word “accurate” is useful when talking about art? A well crafted painting can can portray the accurate dimensions of whatever subject is being depicted. A well researched story containing a historical figure can show an accurate representation of that historical person’s personality and mannerisms. The word “accurate” is useful to communicate a great many things depending how old is used, including when talking about that. I’m not trying to give fictional events the same weight as real ones and using the word “accurate” does not in itself the denote that. I liked the video, I wanted to compliment the person who made the video. The video maker was clearly attempting to alter the fifth brothers design to be more “accurate” to his animated counterpart, I thought they succeeded, so I called it accurate.

I agree I want the one that looks more alien. I am sick and tired of everyone always making aliens look and sound too human, we need more creativity, style and diversity. I don't like the one in the middle because it looks too human, the one on the right looks more alien as it should be.

Kenobi should have been a movie, I understand during the time of filming that covid was still a concern but other than that reason it really should have been a movie. It could have been exceptional because a project like Kenobi should really be movie tier, especially considering that Han Solo got his own movie. With a movie budget they could have made the inquisitors look so much better, with use of CGI, and they could also have scrapped the majority of the series since a lot of the parts served no big purpose and wasn't really that great. It was a limited series with only 1 season so making it into a movie would've been the better approach. It could have been great, and I'm not trashing the series because I did like it but it had it's flaws but it could have been perfect. It deserved to be a movie and it surely would have made a lot more money for disney.

You put the production crew of Kenobi series to shame with these videos! The darkened skin, the angular veins, the elongated face and the slanted eyes are a reminder that he's supposed to be an alien species, not some actor in makeup If they didn't think they could pull it off practically, why couldn't they use Motion Capture/CGI?
