Now that DUNE and the Banned Bond sets have gone public, I thought it was time to start a FanFiltration Release & Feedback Thread .
Firstly I would like to thank my fellow film fans. Extra thanks must go out to Rikter for all the great help, the forces that run www.originaltrilogy.com, and to Xavier and the guys at MYSPLEEN. And to Ash595, thanks for the great DVD cover art for the Bond sets!
It is here that I ask for any and all feedback on my work to be posted. Please, I only ask that you be constructive with your remarks so that I may incorporate any ideas into my future fan works. Making fan edits is my way to interact with my fellow fans. They are only meant to be enjoyed as an education in film storytelling and not for profit of any kind other then personal enjoyment. Please support the official versions of films and buy lots of stuff at places like the local mall and Amazon. **Do not support those who sell other peoples fan work on Ebay!**
Please DON'T post, ask, or make any requests for copies of these DVD sets on this thread! This work is now out in the public domain, and must be obtained via non-profit fan interaction only. The FanFiltration sets are NOT FOR SALE!
Thanks!
At this time, the following fan edits & Preservation titles have been done by FanFiltration@hotmail.com
DUNE (FanFiltration Edit)
*2 DVD SET*
"This special reedit of “DUNE” was prepared by us at Fanfiltration to satisfy
fans whom have never been truly happy with “DUNE” in neither its truncated 1984
theatrical version, nor the version of the David Lynch film prepared
specifically for television markets with extended (yet poorly edited) footage.
In many places, scenes have been reedited to try and faithfully reconstruct
David Lynch’s original vision of the film using the December 9, 1983 shooting
script as a guide.
The film is presented in a “Pan & Scan” format; as no widescreen footage of the
extended cut scenes is available at the current time of this reedit production.
For this fan–created reedit of “DUNE”, every attempt has been made to enhance
grainy cutting–room–floor scenes that had been haphazardly inserted into the
“Allen Smithee” television version. Fanfiltration’s computer–generated effects
have been added to correct the missing “blue within blue eyes” that had been
left unfinished in the Smithee version. We also applied color correction to make
the clips match. These clips have been incorporated to allude to the dimension
of the characters and plotlines in Frank Herbert’s “DUNE”.
BANNED BOND: The Criterion Collection on DVD (Laserdisc Preservation)
*3 DVD SET*
Shortly after releasing the first 3 James Bond films on Laserdisc in a 2-disc CAV format in 1991, Criterion was asked by EON Productions (Producers of the James Bond Films) to recall all unsold Laserdisc product. It was felt that the audio commentary tracks on the 3 titles where unacceptable to Albert R. Broccoli, one of the original producers of the 3 films.
The 3 films had later been re-packaged by Criterion into a single disc format, and re-issued without any of the supplemental features. When MGM released their DVD’s of the first 3 films in the mid 1990’s, they contained different audio commentaries. Now, the original 2-disc Criterion versions go for big bucks on Ebay. I am proud to preserve these great films and their original Special Features on DVD for Bond Fans Everywhere.
