ROTJ /SE armor behind the scenes TD Footage

[RogueTrooper]

Whatz up!

Like Indy finding an old supernatural artifact, I have dug up some old footage that has ROTJ /SE armor in it....

I have a CD-ROM that was made in 1995/96 that is called “Making Magic” that is the behind the scenes of ILM and LFL working on the Special Edition of ANH.

The title is “Anatomy of a Dewback,” but I thought since it has some behind the scenes footage of them digging out the old armor, I thought it needed to be posted for all TD/TK armor junkies and for anyone that has not seen this before.

Enjoy!

Part I

Synopsis:

In George Lucas’s eye’s, the original Dewbacks were little more than statutes. But to change the scene, editor Tom Christopher and others first have to find the original footage. Where is the negative? Missing from the Lucasfilm cold-storage locker.

Part II

Synopsis:

The search for the negative concludes and now the restoration begins. To add new Dewbacks, ILM has to first remove the old ones. And what should the 3-D Dewbacks look like? Artist Terryl Whitilach comes up with a convincing design.

Part III

Synopsis:

A handful of stormtroopers don’t seem quite menacing enough, so it’s back to the desert for new filming. But first comes the storyboarding three- dimensional modeling before the cameras roll.

Part IV

Synopsis:

An unusual “extra” dons an old stormtrooper costume to finally one-up some childhood friends. Life in a white suit isn’t all it’s cracked up to be – especially when the thermometer hits 120 degrees Fahrenheit.

Part V

Synopsis:

The early, rough animation starts turning into a realistic-looking Dewback. Emerging from a wire-frame outline, the creature gets coloring and shading. The old and new merge seamlessly and the scene finally lives up to Darth Vader’s advance billing.
