I really appreciate that analysis, eyepainter. I assumed you’d be in the right mindset to consider it fully. I haven’t watched the movie in a good while, but I thought it was likely that Theed would need some CG additions as you say, which I think we’re still just a tech evolution away from right now. I might still just do a very simple pass edit of the movie to cut that out though, along with anything else that mandates, just to see what’s still broken that would need fixing in order to make that work.
You’re welcome to give it a shot. It’s one of the reasons this site exists after all. Plus, there’s nothing in the world like doing it yourself.
Anyway, I just took care of the first 10 minutes of sound editing. Got 82 more minutes to go.
