I’ve just watched your movie #3, and it was my favourite one yet. Three very strong plotlines, very well paced internally and around each other, that keep the thrust of the whole show moving. Technically excellent too. Very very good work!
Thank you once again! I must admit that Film III is my favourite in Volume I, too. I had so much fun putting it together, and it was great to see how well the plotlines worked together.
You mentioned making some trims for season 2’s content- without spoilers, how heavy are they?
Off the top of my head, I’d say most cuts had to do with the pacing of certain storylines and cutting down on the ‘silliness’ of new characters.
I’m not sure whether to watch your movies or the original episodic format first.
Due to the nature of these films, I honestly don’t know how to advise you on that. If you asked me the same question about my Stranger Things films, or any other traditional TV-to-film fanedit, I’d say to watch the film version first, and then the episodic format, to see if the plot was summarised successfully. However, as the purpose of these Foundation films is to regroup the plotlines of the original material rather than summarise them, I honestly don’t know which approach would be more engaging.
Either way, I’d be interested to hear your thoughts.
