Hey guys, this might be a little off topic, but i thought maybe it’d be awesome to put together a documentary about fan edits.

It could address the beginings of fan edits (phantom editor, things like that), interviews with editors about why we do it, and the technology that lets us do it.

This could be a very interesting and entertaining project to put together, and could possibly open peoples eyes up to the world of fan edits. It wouldn’t have to be long, like 30 minutes-ish, so that it would be easy to distribute and spread around the internet.

Any thoughts or ideas?

I'm always looking to trade my edits, if you don't want to get them from a torrent. PM or e-mail!

This could be pretty damned cool, I'd be willing to help however I can. As is probably the case with a lot of us here, I'm an aspiring filmmaker, so if there's anything I could lend on that end, I'd be glad to. My participation in the community goes as far as contributing one (simple) edit and watching a bunch of others, so I don't know how good of an interviewee I'd be, but I would still certainly do that too. It would be neat to gather recollections from people who were around and active on this board around the time that non-SW fan edits really started to bloom, I think, too.

I used to be very active on this forum. I’m not really anymore. Sometimes, people still want to get in touch with me about something, and that is great! If that describes you, please email me at [my username]ATgmailDOTcom.

Hi everybody. You’re all awesome. Keep up the good work.

I like this idea too. But who could do it?

well, since it'd be quite impossible for one or two people to get a lot of interviews on film, it might be easier to do phone interviews, and maybe show clips/covers for edits that that person/group did. this method would allow us to interview virtually anybody.

a lot of this would have to be in arranging clips/images and things with voice over.

ReverendBeastly, you sound pretty into it. shoot me an e-mail if you got some good ideas. I'd really like to work on this, it'd be a great document of what we are doing, and prove that we aren't pirating/ruining anybody's work.

Sure, if I'll come up with some stuff and shoot you an email. Or maybe I'll just hit you up on AIM? I'm cleaning my room at the moment, so a bit later, but yeah.
