Agree this is great. Been wondering how to classify or create a percentage of what's been modified over the years, with the idea of using those numbers to compare to GL quotes where he goes, "the films were x% complete". Then do the math to see if we are getting closer to that 100% mark. (...or if the 2004 set pushed it past the 100% mark...)
Has anyone come across the number of shots there actually are in these movies? Remember reading random talk about modern movies having so many quick shots that a movie could get into the 1k-2k range? (seems high) If that's the case, with 276 SE changes, that's a quarter to an eighth. So if the original film was 70% then modifying a quarter means the 97SE was in the upper 90's%, then the 2004 rejiggering should push past the 100% mark...
(aside: was interesting to see in some of the recent BR deleted scenes from Lowry how the counters document how long the shot lasts.)
Could we get this excel doc? Or have a version everyone could update: http://www.google.com/google-d-s/spreadsheets/
