Okay, a few minor updates...
Having taken scissors [not literally] to each film, the combined total runtime is around 2 hours, 20 minutes. Although I do need to add a few things back in.
once that's done I'll spend some time fiddling with the audio. Then make sure it actually makes a lick of sense with all the cuts, and if all is well I'll start going through and making sure it's picture perfect, shot by shot.
:)
While tinkering with that I've been messing with photoshop on the side, First off here's some colour corrected scenes circa the final battle with the Queen in the snow...

and here's a quick and dirty scar removal - the scene where she gets it is difinitely on the cutting room floor.

and here I'm still tinkering with colouring ideas for the Prologue sequence - I'm aiming for something of a retro look while still looking somewhat creepy...

I'm also playing with ideas like boosting the gamma during a lot of AVP:R so we can actually see what's going on. Granted, a lot of AVP:R is getting the 'snip snip' treatment.
