coinilius said:Version 2 is doing it for me as well - although it would be good to see it with the other scenes around it like in the first test, to get a feel for the flow, the emotional content of the scene is very important.
baileym43 said:i wonder if you can give it a Christopher Nolan-ish feel, chopping up the Loki/Frigga chat and mixing it in with the other scenes. so it all seems like it's happening at the same time and the tension of each scene is feeding off the other. blending and layering Loki/Frigga dialog over the other stuff. i dunno. like the "training" montage of Inception. just thowing it out there, maybe i'm way off base.
hbenthow said:That new opening mostly looks great, but the way the word "Asgard" shows up so soon after the title comes across a little awkward to me. It almost gives off the feeling that the title of the movie is "Thor: The Dark World: Asgard". Maybe it's just me, though.
I see.TM2YC said:I agree it isn't ideal and I feared it might be an issue, if there was a way to remove it and place it a few seconds later I would. I already tried a simple cropping and it just looked badly cropped. I could fade it out earlier but I really wanted it to vanish to time exactly with the swoosh sound as the camera passes through the bridge arch thing. Not sure about any other way to remove it.
hbenthow said:I see.
I noticed one more thing. In the theatrical cut, there is a subtitle reading "Vanaheim" when the scene cuts to Sif and the Warriors Three fighting. In your opening, there's no subtitle telling us where the battle is taking place.
i thought he/they did that to put on the act for the Dark Elvs to play up their little "betrayal" show.TM2YC said:- Removed all of Loki's nonsensical post-dubbed dialogue "You really think I cared about Frigga? About any of you? All I ever wanted was you and Odin dead at my feet!" (Who was he saying it to and for what benefit?!?)
Nic said:As for Loki's death and resurrection, I was wondering if you could make him appear more blue as he seems to fade away, since his Frost Giant form is his default.
bionicbob said:For the Dark Elves new dialogue, it might be fun to write it like the old THOR comic book dialogue, a quasi-Shakespeare, lots of "thy", "thou" and "thee" and such....
TM2YC said:Taking that idea a bit too literally, I've cut-and-pasted some Shakespeare into one of Malakith and Algrim's scenes...
It's from 'Julius Caesar', 'Henry IV Pt.2' and 'Henry VI' and works pretty well. The dialogue in that scene wasn't too bad anyway but it's nice to have the same emotions expressed with a little poetry. But seriously, a few panels from the old comics would be handy to read what kind of thing you are talking about (As I've never read them).
