To benduwan,
Firstly, thank you 😃
2, Yes I did, and I think the scenes match a heck of a lot better than they did raw. I personally don’t see too many horrible colour discrepancies in the footage as it is. I don’t mean to be pompous, I just don’t see where to adjust the footage too much further.
3, Probably not.
4, That’s how it’s gonna look finally. I’m using the 1999 alien legacy dvd as the main source which isn’t the best quality, because of the low quality of most of the behind the scenes footage.
5, My plan is to bring back every frame of the film that I can.
6, I don’t know how much aliens footage exsists that would be worth putting back in. But alien 3 I find very interesting, and there’s a lot of cool shots in the making of documentary. I love alien 3, but I don’t know it like the back of my hand like I do alien, so maybe in the future.
7, Yep. One of the reasons is that most of the behind the scenes footage only exsists in English. I’d be happy to make foreign subs if A, I knew how, or B, I knew any other language but English.

To cosmicjazz,
You’re probably right. But in editing this I got kinda obsessed with using every single usable frame in the movie. I’ve had this idea for the longest time of ā€œthe longest version of alien humanly possible, no exceptionsā€.That being said, I might take it out or shorten in, but it really wouldn’t sit right with me if I did. I don’t know if I could bring myself to take it out based purely on my philosophy for this edit. But you are probably correct. I doesn’t work as well as it could.

Finally, I will be uploading brett’s death for all to see shortly. I just have a bit more colouring left to do on it. The cocoon scene is also very very nearly completed, and will differ from the version I posted on youtube in my very first post on this thread. It now has a different colour grade, and has a bunch more footage, with ripley firing at dallas at the end completely reedited.
