You've got some great cut ideas!
Of course, I totally understand you're just starting out - so I'll forgive technical details.
But the ideas themselves are great! I like cutting out the "The ambassadors of the supreme chancellor wish to board immediately" shots, as well as your lovely cut of the atrocious intro to Anakin. It works much more... naturally now. It feels more like Star Wars. Good job!
Thanks for the encouragement. I really appreciate it.
Been busy lately with the start of a new semester here. Managed to squeeze in some time to work on another editing experiment for TPM.
This one is the scene from Qui-Gon's first encounter with Maul and the Anakin-Obi Wan intro. Personally, I always felt that Anakin and Obi-Wan meeting for the first time should have been more significant (maybe adding relevant OT music). Instead we get a "You're a Jedi too? Pleased to meet you."
I also moved Maul's Force flip towards the end the duel so that the next scene where he stands up (after supposedly being pushed from the ship's ramp) looks he is standing up after landing from his somersault.
Again, excuse the less that perfect cut.
