Hey everyone!
I have gotten into movie edits over the past year, and have been inspired by all of you (specifically HAL 9000 and Spence) to try my hand at my own edits.
I am very aware that Prequel edits are just about as saturated of an editing topic as it gets, but I grew up on these movies and feel as if they are at least a good place to start.
My goal is to make a more palatable version of all three movies while maintaining, and maybe even improving upon in some cases, the rhythm of the movies and scenes. I am specifically posting here in the event that I have anything that I cannot figure out and general advice if that would be acceptable.
I have gone through the movies meticulously a few times trying to pinpoint exactly what might be changed in my version, but from what little experience I have, I have found that it is oftentimes a feel thing while I am editing that ends up working best.
I would love any and all feedback once I’ve got the change list up and going! In the meantime, is there any specific advice as to the process y’all have found to be the best, and where I might be able to get access to the most amount of materials. I do currently have the 2011 Blu-Ray’s, the early 2000’s DVDs for all original 6 movies, as well as the soundtrack discs for episodes 4, 5, 6, and 1 (need to get 2 and 3 as well in case they are needed). I unfortunately do not have access to MySpleen, as if I understand right they closed access for new users a while back which is unfortunate.
Any and all advice would be very welcome, as again I am really just dipping my toe into this world (beyond watching them) for the first time!
Side note, my day job is crazy busy January to the end of March, so I wouldn’t be diving in fully until April, but I am starting to collect the necessary knowledge as well as any resources.
Thank y’all in advance for all of your help and suggestions 😃
