So I watched the Scaperat version of I,Robot recently it is much improved but still has too much willy style for my liking. I am going to use his edit as a base and streamline it some more, possibly fix up a few jump cuts and maybe add in some extra CGI to the driving sequence etc to replace his talking
any suggestions welcome
update 19/08/2010: this has been finished for a while should upload it fairly soon, some cuts are rough and maybe I will do a v2 at some point

Geekinteresting. i enjoyed scap's version and didn't feel that it was still "a will smith movie" but perhaps you picked up on other elements that i did not.

Hello Sailor!!!!Will Smith always seems to play these "Down on their luck" characters. I am Legend is a big example of this. Is this mine fighting to get an oscar? He has one moment in all of his movies from 03-present were he yell's then cries. It is a good turn from his funny movies but movie after movie of these oscar moments I kind of miss the light-rap kid friendly fresh prince Will Smith. Every actor goes through a moment in their life were they take on roles of the same flavor. Harisson Ford went through the "I want my family" movies. They were good movies but they got kind of SOS. Will Smith will probably quit doing movies like this when he is 50 but maybe not "look at Denzel Washington"
"The other versions will disappear. Even the 35 million tapes of Star Wars out there won't last more than 30 or 40 years. A hundred years from now, the only version of the movie that anyone will remember will be the DVD version [of the Special Edition], and you'll be able to project it on a 20' by 40' screen with perfect quality. I think it's the director's prerogative, not the studio's to go back and reinvent a movie." - George Lucas

yeah I don't know I was watching Hardwired last night his random bits of dialogue and macho talk break up the pacing I am trying to remove them when the movie gets serious its actually pretty engaging and unnerving
btw looking to extend the initial driving scene to the Robot storage (I removed the talking) anyone have any good futuristic car chases/scenes I can use as a base. I was thinkin something that you see the the view moving from the front (ie. couldnt see the car) could work nicely

Just a quick update on the progression
took out the horrible 'okaayyy' line in the elevator and fixed and trimmed up more of the scene and transitions
took out most o the first driving scene (no more... 'arseholes') except I am looking for some other footage from another movie I could splice in, preferably one wiht a car weavin in and out of traffic but its from the front of the car i.e. u dont see any of the bonnet... any ideas???
Smith no longer talks to the cat in the house
trying to figure out how to remove "how would a cat do this to me.. are you crazy' lines but it leads to some obvious jump cuts
trimmed out most of the talkin in the second car scene i.e. 'u like that... huh'
will use original ending (I thought hardwired was too abrupt after such a nice buildup) and start editing out taht as i need
