Man, with that new establishing shot and the digital soldiers/truck and all, the sequence will flow perfectly!
Hmmm, the trailers/adverts seem like a good source to plunder - some of the alternate takes on scenes (such as the delivery of lines - 'Not as easy as it used to be' and 'Part time' for example) seem to be better in the trailers for some reason; maybe more could be incorporated from them, and the TV spots and such like?
On the waterfall scene, how possible would it be to remove the actual sight of the tree under the jeep as it goes off the cliff? Not a big problem because of the new editing, but could it be removed entirely? In the looking-down-from-above perspective shot of the jeep just as it goes over the cliff - could the tree below the jeep here be replaced with water, so it looks as if there is nothing below the jeep except from the river below - and also in the looking-up-at-the-jeep perspective shot as it is hanging in the air, there are leaves from the tree visible on screen right; could these be digitally removed too?
Damn that wonky CG tree! Tear it outta the film from its roots!
