Hello Fellow Lost fans!
I’m sure there’s a better place to post about this, but reading all these comments on here made me think it might be a good place to start. If anyone sees this and can direct me to a better place to officially post, that would be awesome!
While I totally appreciate the version of Lost shared here (and was originally inspired by Chronologically Lost from years ago), I have always believed that Lost works much better in a character based chronology (some here have cleverly called it Causological). That is, the edit follows the story of the main characters, rather than being strictly chronological. As a functional story, it works far better and makes way more sense overall (and I’ll argue forever that Lost actually does make sense!).
Well, I’ve spent a number of years doing just that. In painstaking detail. In full Blu-Ray quality. In addition, I’ve added the Missing Pieces (as with the other version), the deleted scenes from season 4, and of course “The New Man In Charge”. I really wanted to add in deleted scenes from the other seasons but they are such low quality (letterboxed SD in many cases) all it did was take you out of the show every time one came on. You can’t go from high quality 1080p to substandard 480p (or smaller) and stay immersed in the show. It’s unfortunate, but true.
I literally just finished editing an hour ago and got excited, so I started searching around for any new Lost edits that have surfaced in recent years, and came across this forum. I see many people wishing there was a version just like mine, and there doesn’t seem to be one anymore, and certainly not a full HD quality one. So I see my version not as a competition to the one shared here, but an alternate version for those that want it. Anyone who spends this kind of time working on editing Lost is an awesome person in my book, and I know VERY WELL how many hours go into. I think if I had kept track of the hours all this time I’d probably go a little crazy.
Anyway, there are many more details I’d love to share, but since this is just a comment on a forum I’ll hold off, at least until someone asks, or I find a good place to officially post about this. I have not uploaded it anywhere yet, this is just a first step in reaching out to the world of Lost fans. Though I love what I’ve done, and would love nothing more than to share it with fellow Lost lovers like me!
