Hi there. FWIW, I’d say the thing to be cautious of here and at FanEdit.org is any perception that you’ll be doing anything commercial related to fan editing. It’s kind of a prime directive sort of thing: it’s there to protect us and make this whole thing safe and able to go on.
If you ever pursue FX to remove Klaud let me know, since removing him may be an incidental support to being able to move the chess scene to the very end of the movie. (Making the scene at the start in need of starting after Klaud’s proper introduction, so removing him from the remaining shots would be cleaner. But I don’t really want to remove him were it not for this other change.)
