Think I’ve arrived at a first draft for the video editing; currently clocks in at 116.3 minutes. Not much longer than the DC, but I’ve been able to get most of the important missing material from the AC in to the DC in a way I consider tasteful and unobtrusive.

I’m still waiting for my EC Blu-Ray to arrive so there might be a little more material to put in. I’ve also set up mockups for most of the scenes where Goldsmiths score is to be restored (Freeze, Jack’s “Forgive Me”, Frypan Fight, Following the Goblins/Swamp, Oona following Lilly, Restoring Alicorn), and made sure my edits to scenes with Goldsmiths intact score don’t interfere.

I’ve also tackled a portion of the final battle that has always bothered me vis-a-vis continuity, namely, when Jack shoots an arrow at darkness, causing a large blow, then the next shot is darkness somewhat motionless while the Unicorn runs in to the fire pit… then in the following couple shots, no arrows in darkness’ neck! I think my solution still keeps the energy of the scene while also making a bit more sense. Will upload it when I get time to render.
