so that and the theatrical ending are the only things missing. also with the tv scene your using i think the german version has better quality if you want to find out look up ridgeshark’s abandonded edit page.

I don’t think I can use the television version for the extended windmill scene, because it’s edited differently and too much footage is missing. I’ll be using deleted scenes footage, but I still haven’t decided if the Shout! Factory BD is the best source for those or not.

Dek Rollins can you look in to doing that kinda of hybrid cut i don’t know how to do that kinda of thing and i’d do anything for that kind of edit

Sorry, I don’t think I can afford the time or space to do anything more than what I’m already trying to do. I’m sure it can be frustrating to be without good software and hardware to do this kind of stuff yourself. (I don’t even have everything that I think I might need yet 😛)


And an update on my editing plans:
I think I’m going to cut the idea of starting it with the end of Evil Dead II, because there doesn’t seem to be a good way to get the two scenes to mesh well, even if I was able to reduce the music in the mono. So, after the edited opening recap, the beginning of the film will continue largely identical to the Director’s Cut.

I’ve also been trying to decide whether or not to cut the “Boom Stick” speech that Ash gives to the villagers. Since neither the finished opening or the theatrical ending will be used in my edit, this line will be the only reference to S-Mart, and that seems like it might feel out of place in the long run. In that case, I would cut straight from “This is my Boom Stick!” to “The next one of you primates, even touches me…” I’m not sure about it yet, as I do like the line itself, but I just don’t think it works very well in the context I’ve created.
