No chance for just an Extended Edition which would essentially be the longest running time cut without the unneeded George Lucas-esque tinkering?
Guess not.It won’t be possible to do this edit without some tinkering. I will not be adding any dinosaurs or anything like that. If I do something it will not be in bad taste. That wormhole animation is basically the same thing.
How do I extend the footage using the deleted scenes of the gate opening for the second time without doing some tinkering?
It just won’t work without it… I am going to go for updating some special effects mattes I won’the be touching anything else. I want to have fun and learn something in the process.
I think the animation is a nice update and it is not radically different. Extending the footage is very radical and requires a lot of tinkering and far more work.
Should I add the staff weapon effects missing in the special edition?
Is that tinkering because they put the footage in without bothering to finish the effects?
There’s also a big effect missing for Caveman Ra’s abduction
I got the music sussed for extending entering the gate now but the sound effects need work. I will post a version soon and I think I discovered a music cue in the process. But I have also had to make it work…
Finishing effects as long as it looks similar to the current Blu-ray disc, in terms of quality negating resolution, is fine to me. Guess I’d consider it sorta similar to BLADE RUNNER: The Final Cut and STAR TREK: The Motion Picture - The Director’s Edition.
