Hey Everybody,
This weekend I did my final test screening of SoJ to an audeince of ten on a huge projection screen. The audience was comprised of people who aren't editors, nor fanedit fans, and mostly people who hadn't seen the original Superman in many years. It was a success, with only two issues being pointed out after the show, both of which I already planned to fix.
Seeing it on a huge screen was a lot of fun, and the vast majority of my FX shots stood up to basically being zoomed in on, so I was surprised and happy. I did notice some new issues that no one has raised though, and will put them on my list of fixes. Also I had some ideas for some easy improvements that I hadn't thought of before.
For those editors that have the chance, I highly recommend doing a test screening of your edit, especially on as big a screen as you can. Seeing it on a huge screen, and through the eyes of people who are just viewers, and not interested in the editing process, gave me a different perspective on mine, and I think the final product will be improved because of it.
