I’m sorry, your other edit?
I’m sorry, your other edit?
Been a while since there were any replies on this thread. 😐
Interesting… 😃
Okay minor update but i am planning to change the BF cockpit with that of BR’s just for continuity reasons also another question what your favorite score change?
My favourite one so far is when Edward knocks Stickley out.
I’m watching the rough cut right now, and so far I’m enjoying it. It’s similar to Ver. 2, with the bank vault/first riddle scenes intact.
What really caught my eye is the German news report with Superman. I really wasn’t expecting that. 😛
Speaking of the Stickley scene, his death is edited the same as V2, even though your OP says it’ll be left intact.
Plus, the colour’s still the same as it is in the theatrical cut, which I can understand completely since this is only a “rough cut”, so it’s still in the editing stages.
And finally, the dialogue isolation is different. Did you stick to Adobe Audition CC or move to AV Music Morpher Gold, because it sounds awfully similar to when your earlier builds used AV.
That’s all I have to say atm. Rough cut’s lookin’ good, and keep up the good work!
Ahem gentlemen…the link is up enjoy!
Bravo! 😄
Not yet just keep an eye open doe.
Ah. ^^
Okay since for being so awesome guys for waiting i’ll be uploading a rough cut of BF so that way you can give me feedback on what works & what doesn’t so make sure to keep an eye on here so you can be notified when the link is upon my youtube.
Oh, thank God! I’m so excited for this rough cut! Should it be up shortly? 😄
So random question but what are your guys favorite moments or additions from my BF cut?
I have a few:
#1 - The removal of Stickley’s death and Bruce quitting as Batman
#2 - Your edits on the circus raid
#3 - The bank fight/helicopter sequence
#4 - The addition of the B89 Batmobile
Okay so i been really inactive since my last post & that’s partly because i just finished my donner cut of superman 2 which will get an release soon but as for the batman cut it’s going great as i just finished editing the new score & now currently working on the vocal tracks as this is the most gurling & frustrating part of this cut but thankfully i found a neat alternate method in removing the background music abit better & hopefully i’ll have this cut done in october as that’s the release date i wanna aim for this badboy but until then keep an eye on my youtube channel for clips from my cut.
Glad there’s finally an update on Ver. 3! Can’t wait to see it; hoping for some preview clips!
Quite intrigued in this “version 0.5” you’re hoping to put out. Can’t wait to see it.
Wow, Dixon’s Edit in on here! 😄
Excited for this edit, wonder how you’re gonna pull off the audio editing! ^^
Interesting. 😃
About time I come back to this edit. I have something to say…
Now that I think it over, Ver. 1 of this edit seems, how you say, “Lighter and Softer”, in comparison to Ver. 2. Why do I say this?
Well, I listened to Ver. 2 more closely with my headphones a couple days ago, and the choices of Danny Elfman’s score in this case make the film sound much creepier than the actual film itself.
Now I’m not saying this is a disadvantage — because it’s totally not!
The music makes the film more enjoyable and reminicent to the Burton films, particularly to those who utterly despised the film or deemed it merely ‘unwatchable’ with most of Elliot Goldenthal’s score and the acting performances of the villains. Plus, the added creepiness should please fans of Batman Returns and the deleted footage works well in fixing some of the issues the film ended up with.
Overall, I love The Tim Burton Cut as much as others do. It works well in trimming the campy overtones and making the film seem darker and more to the point.
ThatGuyWhoEdits, don’t give up on Ver. 3! I’ve been working on my own cutlist for my edit of the film, and I think you’ll be in for a pleasant surprise once you see it!
Here’s something to get hyped for in the meantime: for the Two-Face introduction at The Second Bank of Gotham, I will be removing the lines “LUCK! Blind, stupid, simple, doo-dah, clueless LUCK!”, “…for YOU!” and “Or, in your case, beer and pizza!” to make the character seem less of a laughing goofball and more of a sinister foe. Lucas Caprucho’s comment on the “BFTTBC : Two-Face Revisited” concept video inspired me for this decision, and TGWE, may I suggest you do something similar! ^^
Plus, I’m thinking of adding a blood effect for when characters are gunned down. A certain Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince edit has achieved this challenge, and I believe I can do the same for BF.
And finally, I’ll leave TGWE with a suggestion: if you want, you can rename Ver. 3 of BFTTBC into “Batman Forever: The Tim Burton Cut - Revisited”. I think it’s a cool name for you to use. 😃
Wish me luck, everyone! And TGWE…
…stay gold. 😉
I just got a new Blu-ray external drive for my laptop, which means I can finally watch Blu-rays on my PC. My main concern, however, is ripping them into video files for re-editing.
What is the best program I can use to convert my new Blu-rays to video files?
Okay so it’s been a looooooooong time since i gave an update on my BF cut & well it’s not good.
For starters i went & tried to isolate some of the more explosive scenes in BF & see how the sound effects along with the vocals would come out after using the expanded soundtrack as the extraction & the results are pretty much the same as in my Ver.2 cut in fact they’re nearly identical even after applying the radio announcer effect.So i’m pretty much in a deep trench at the moment & contemplating whether or i should continue cause it’ll pretty much be my Ver.2 cut just with the bank scene included,Nygma during the stickly crime scene deleted,& just little snippets of the deleted scenes from my Un-Official director’s cut.
=/
You’re adding a radio announcer effect? Wow!
My advice: try messing around with Adobe Audition for a bit until you’re satisfied with the result.
And I hope you’ll be able to innovate with the colour correction.
Good luck!
Good for you, brother! ^^
Ooh, this is going good! ^^
Sounds like pretty good planning out you got there, Chris. What with the success of your UnOfficial Director’s Cut of the film, you’ll now have more deleted footage to add into the film. And if I may leave a few suggestions:
Share your thoughts on my ideas for your edit and good luck! ^^
The mentions of uncut shots of violence just caught my eye. Can’t wait to see this cut! ^^
Say, speaking of the cloud effect, that seems to differ a bit in aspect ratio with the film.
Truth be told, the scene at the staircase never really worked for me.
But why? Line delivery? Behaviour? I’m eager to know.
Does anyone else find this scene bad?
Well, the scene played out a little weak to me. I guess a little more could’ve been added to that short moment before Harry leaves. Plus, a rather unnecessary mention of Hogwarts’ restriction of underage wizardry.
I completely understand if you feel you want to leave this scene in. It’s only my suggestion.
Hmm, interesting. I’m not against you, but I’m not sure I’m entirely with you either. I like the scene - I think it creates some extra tension and show some character growth, standing up for himself, and also depicts all the emotions coming with puberty.
I agree with you that it’s short - perhaps a bit redundant, and I can’t help but feel that a lot of stuff was left on the cutting room floor.
Completely understood.
Also, I believe you said you’ll be adding a few deleted scenes to the film. Care to enlighten?
All the ones there are, with the help of JJPotter’s amazing restructure of them.
Well, JJ used a stellar spinning background for the Knight Bus deleted scene, mayhaps you could ask him where he got such a background. ^^
