The Last Jedi- Full Movie Re-Edit — Page 3

He acts like he’s a professional editor, but what commercial product has he edited?

He did mention in several videos that he has worked on Behind the movement for tv one.

and I don’t get why he opened a thread here if he doesn’t show up from time to time (maybe he does but since he doesn’t login or leaves replies it’s hard to tell). Perhaps we should stop posting his new videos and let him do that himself ? (for example Adywan doesn’t show up very often but he’s a long time member of the community and each time there is something new he posts the news himself in his topic)

I actually was the one who reached out to him early on and said he should post his progress on here. We exchanged some emails over everything and I thought he would actually post progress and gather feedback but I think he interpreted it more as plugging his Youtube channel. Personally I think hundreds of random Youtube comments aren’t as helpful as the responses you could get on here or FE.org.

And I also suggested that he use vimeo for his previews. Oh well…

It lists being a director and writer as well for multiple feature length films so I would say most likely not.

Just checked out a post on his patreon from a viewer who previewed a draft of the edit. Reading through the complaints, it really seems like the editing is quite shabby.

I have only watched a couple of his videos and he may be “making the most of it” but as a radical dreamer myself I find some of his ideas interesting, I like his music choices rant, I I think he may have saved the luke sabers toss which is one of my most hated scenes since jar jar nominated palpatine. What if he does get convincing voice actors? Might be good stuff in there, I guess time will tell, at least you can tell he is putting in thought and effort. My 2 cents

Yeah I don’t think I’ll be watching his final versions, I do like some of his ideas for reference and inspiration that skilled editors that I trust might use later on.

He has a YouTube live stream going on right now and I asked him when he’s planning to drop by, talk about his progress and read some (good) ideas + opinions in this thread. I also asked about if he is really planning to go with the 2.0 stereo audio.

His response: “I don’t know. I really don’t have the time, you know? I am just one person.”

I believe his response to the 2.0 stereo was that he is working with someone on it and that he wants to get it fixed

Well, if he didn’t use a pirated download for his edit he might have 5.1 or even 7.1 audio. I was intrigued at first, but I have become more and more disappointed the more I see on YouTube. I just hope this doesn’t become the catalyst for shutting down the fan edit community.

What frustrates me is that the Youtube comments are a terrible way to get feedback. It’s people who probably haven’t seen a quality fan edit before, and are fine with basically anything. It’s just annoying that he would prioritize Youtube subscribers over making a quality edit. He is just one man but he obviously has the time.

That’s what concerns me as well. I don’t care about whatever he wants to do, but his lack of discretion could potentially hurt us all collectively. And I really don’t feel great selling merchandise related to a fan edit. This is quite different than chipping in so Adywan or Harmy can get a graphics card or something to dedicate to their projects.

This.

I mentioned this on one of his videos when he was saying he didn’t understand why YouTube wouldn’t monetize his channel. His response was, “True true”.

It seems that he’s only interested in receiving feedback from his Patreon followers.

I think it has more to do with the $ people are giving him.

This hobby is very much not something that generates income, but if it were… Man, I could have retired by now. 😉

JEDIT: I missed an opportunity to say “Would that it were…” D’oh!

Jesus Christ, his poor followers on Patreon. If they only knew…
