Ryan McAvoy did a rough and incomplete edit I loved called The Lost Workprint. It moved since scenes around a little liberally but it was a fantastic watch. It could be a good guide. I also made modifications to it to extend it further I think you should consider. I could send my copy of this extension.
Any help is really welcome, so yes, your version will be appreciated!
About scene replacement: I would like to put them in the exact order, if possible. But I’m too lazy to read the whole scripts…
Colorize: I made further testings, both using MWilson script, and trying to color match a B&W clip with a reference clip or image… results are poor… the only positive thing I found is that the B&W scenes are few, some are useless or are the same of the movie, or have a corresponding color scene; what remain are some snippets here and there, for a grandtotal time of around a minute or so… hoping MWilson will find a way to colorize them by hand, with better results!
Now I’ve finished to review EP 4 Rinzler ebook scenes, first topic (and the deleted scene database as well) updated; tomorrow I’ll try to take a look at the remaining scenes.
I think I have all the most important deleted scenes of all the movies; maybe some little snippet remain to be found in some trailer - it will be great to find other few interesting seconds here and there - but, apart those, it’s almost time to start to work seriously on EP 1!
