thank you for your comments, IRANTANPLAN. Yes, some transitions were rather rough. Deep impact has a different aspect ratio than War of the Worlds, true, it also has very different colouring, also Terminator 2 and 3 where the nuclear war scenes came from. All these scenes were recoloured to better fit them into the movie, but still they don't for a 100%. Still the blurryness is part of the Deep Impact movie. There is also some pixelisation towards the end that I am absolutely not proud of, still I think it alltogether worked rather well. Well, the voiceover at the end was kind of necessary, because the movie started with one and it was already very difficult to get the viewer believe the change of perspective from Ray to a universal point of view.
The basement scene was very difficult, picturewise and scorewise and you are right,a continous piece of score would have been better, but since we needed the original voices and sounds wherever possible, this was, well, probably about the best we could do at that time. Still I find myself thinking about several scenes and I get the feeling that this project is not totally closed. This was such an ambitious project and it was such a pity we couldn't improve it anymore picturewise, because our project files were corrupted... oh well.
If you ever find the time to make a "corrected" WOTW tec version, just go for it, I would love to see that.
