Good points Jonesy.

1.) I've kept the aliens and would have to say it would be nearly impossible to take them out. To be honest I don't mind them being in the film. I just hate how there was no build up to thier appearence. We see the corpse of the alien in the first few minutes of the film! Now we get a glimpse of one behind the cloth outside Spalkos tent, a brief wide shot of it lying on the table, then the "full" reveal in the climax. But even this "full" reveal is MUCH MUCH more limited than in the original. You see the crystal skeltons combine as Spalko's eyes burn with it culminating in a shot of the alien that features a lot of bright light to KINDA keep you guessing. I've cut the full body shots and close ups, etc. Also, I limited the amount of the UFO we see in the end. It's not so in your face.

2.) As far the "you're grandfather is laughing" line, now Indy says it in response to Mutt being so head strong. Works fine.

 

I hit kind of a snag or two of course considering how smoothly the rest of the edit has gone I can't complain too much.

So here are the problems:

1.) I am having trouble extracting the lines "not as easy as it used to be" and "part time" from the trailer. I would REALLY appreciate some help here if anyone wants to volunteer to pluck those out and send them to me. If no one volunteers, I'll just have to figure it out....

2.) Marion posted a great edit to the cemetery scene. I just don't know what format or quality its at or anything. If anyone wants to help with this I would really appreciate it as well. I'm anxious to get this edit out there to you guys and these things will help a ton. Again, I'll figure it out myself if need be.

Thanks.
