IRANTANPLAN, it sounds as if you want to make a fanedit of a fanedit...hehe.. I guess that has never been done before, But I am proud if our project was the inspiration for that.


To be honest, I don't have the original DVD yet, so it's kind of necessary to use your version. As soon as I got my DVD I'll have to redo everything anyway, because my edit will be based on a PAL source (which doesn't have the nasty interlacing problems). But your version is a good start anyways.
I'm also thinking about losing the entire narration at the beginning and the end (maybe some exposition in a text crawl, I don't know yet).

Perhaps I'll also change the order of some scenes. The coolest thing of course would be to establish very early in the movie, that thay plan to nuke them out, and that the family does not try to escape the tripods, but is trying to reach the arc. The scene on the river is very apocalyptic, it seems kind of fitting for such an idea. But at the moment I'm just playing with ideas, don't really know what can be done with the given material.
In the end, my version may be even longer than CBBs, because of the needed additional material

The biggest problem at the moment seens to be, that you can't to colour correction to a big extend in iMovie, so I will need Final Cut Pro for this....
