This isn't exactly an LD transfer or anything, but I'm working on two video projects now.

1. Editing all 30 (eventually, that is) episodes of CLONE WARS into one continuous movie. All 20 currently released episodes are done now, though I want to polish it up a bit, and I'm going to cut the Kit Fisto episode entirely. It interrupts the flow of CLONE WARS as a film and is never referenced before or after in the whole thing. I've also cut the first episode down considerably; the film now opens in Palpatine's office and Yoda's voiceover is never heard. I'd like to play around with his voiceover a bit and make an opening crawl for the film, but that would mean more editing. The first episode adds nothing as well, so I may take a quick clip from about episode 7 or so which actually pans down from an empty starfield to show a battle, and use that somehow...but I'd need someone to make a crawl for me as I'm doing all this in VirtualDub...

2. Editing RED DRAGON a little bit to remove extraneous Lecter action (the beginning and the Clarice thing at the end mainly). I'm nearly done with this, as it's fairly easy. What I want to do (though it may be near impossible) is subtly edit MANHUNTER (the good bits) and RED DRAGON (namely Emily Watson, Ralph Feinnes and Anthony Hopkins) together. Mainly the William Petersen performance. However, this may not be possible because of the end of RED DRAGON versus the end of MANUNTER, and I want to keep RED DRAGON's ending. Nohting against Ed Norton, but he just doesn't play Will Graham as well as William Petersen did.
