To benduwan,
Firstly, thank you š
2, Yes I did, and I think the scenes match a heck of a lot better than they did raw. I personally donāt see too many horrible colour discrepancies in the footage as it is. I donāt mean to be pompous, I just donāt see where to adjust the footage too much further.
3, Probably not.
4, Thatās how itās gonna look finally. Iām using the 1999 alien legacy dvd as the main source which isnāt 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 donāt know how much aliens footage exsists that would be worth putting back in. But alien 3 I find very interesting, and thereās a lot of cool shots in the making of documentary. I love alien 3, but I donāt 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. Iād be happy to make foreign subs if A, I knew how, or B, I knew any other language but English.
To cosmicjazz,
Youāre probably right. But in editing this I got kinda obsessed with using every single usable frame in the movie. Iāve had this idea for the longest time of āthe longest version of alien humanly possible, no exceptionsā.That being said, I might take it out or shorten in, but it really wouldnāt sit right with me if I did. I donāt know if I could bring myself to take it out based purely on my philosophy for this edit. But you are probably correct. I doesnāt work as well as it could.
Finally, I will be uploading brettās 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.
