I assume the intention by szopman is, as it was mine, to feed you with feedback, so you can grow on this, if you’re in to editing on the long run and become better. To see things that work or didn’t work narrative-wise as well as technical.
You’ve said in your opening post that your just beginning and at least for me, that was taken in consideration before applying feedback to you.
The thing is, I’m not planning on seriously pursuing editing. I don’t particularly enjoy it, and usually end up frustrated. It’s just a hobby that I occasionally attempt when I get an idea of how a series could be condensed to a much less time-consuming form.
I really just made this project so me and my family could easily watch the Clone Wars without sitting through all the unimportant arcs. Then I thought “maybe the people on OriginalTrilogy.com would be interested in this?” so I posted it on here. I didn’t really expect to receive much criticism, because this definitely isn’t a professional project and from what I’ve seen, threads on this site don’t usually involve criticizing the editor.
But it’s fine, I understand what the intention behind your feedback was. Thanks for taking the time to watch my project, even if it’s not the highest quality.
Your new project idea for episode viii sounds promising and fresh, so I encourage you to do it. Think about using another video software. use audacity for audio edits, if the software isn’t sufficiently enough.
I’m not actually planning on making that. It was just an idea that I thought other editors might be interested in using.
