Spiderman 3 Fanedit (Released)

Hi all,

A while ago I made a fan edit of Spiderman 3 just for my own enjoyment.

It’s fairly low res but I’m very happy with it.

My problem is I don’t actually know what to do next. I don’t think it would good enough on a technical level to submit to a fanedit site, but I would still like to get my idea’s contained within the cut across to others and see what they think.

Can anyone give me some advice please? Can I just send my edit to people upon request? Or would anyone out there be interested in taking my rough cut and doing a proper job on it

Thanks!

Well, my advice would be this.  Like what most fan editors do, put the edit online in a neutral place like rapidshare, and let them download it at their leisure.  Directly offering it to them can get iffy depending on how you plan on doing that.

Also, there's low res and low quality.  Is it just compressed at a low bitrate, or is it really just a small pixel dimension?  I ask because The Phantom Editor presented his edits in relatively low quality, but it's still passable considering it is a fan edit.  If it's low res....then, there's not much to say there.

Handing it over to someone else will result, most likely, in a not entirely faithful duplication of your work.  Any editor is going to have slightly to greatly varying difference of opinion on how to cut the film.  I know it's distressing to think about re-editing a large project from scratch (all the ripping and converting alone is annoying), but if you want your ideas and approach perserved, that's the only way to guarantee it.  As a filmmaker and editor myself, even I go back and re-edit entire scenes or sequences from my own film after a few years because I now have a different perspective on it all.  So, maybe in the process of editing the project from scratch again, you might want to change something here or there.  Anything is possible.  Seriously, we're on OriginalTrilogy.com - we know how certain filmmakers can have a change of opinion on their own works over time.

Nicholas,

Thanks for getting back to me with such an insightful reply.

I think in the short term I’ll upload what I’ve got to rapidshare and then at some point in the future I’ll return to my edit and try to offer something with better cuts and a crisper picture.

Will repost here when I’ve got it sorted,

Thanks again!
