Before I decided to leave the titles alone for my edit, I thought calling TPM "Cloak of Deception" after the novel that happens prior to it was a good idea. Then AOTC was to be "The Approaching Storm", and ROTS "Labyrinth of Evil".
I agree with whoever said it before me: My official ANH DVD will never be played again.
There's so many great versions! My favorite to watch is the ADigitalMan/DarthEditous combo. When I get ahold of this edit, I want to make a combo of it as well.
Yes, take your time. It will be well-worth the wait and money, as far as I'm concerned.
I'm probably not even going to buy the official DVDs at this point. (People who don't own the new DVD set can still buy these, right? I mean, I own the original laserdiscs anyway, right?)
The other day I was thinking it'll at least be good to have the OOT without being "enhanced" or whatever they did to really make the colors on the official DVDs look so wrong.
Now for the OOT we will have horrible video, and "enhanced colors" to match the gawdy SE DVDs.
Sounds like a killer fan edit! I might even recommend it over my own!
And please tell me what program you used to create your scene transition effects. I have searched and searched to fine one that works, please please tell me.
My idea for a "prank edit" to show to first-time viewers was this:
It'll be unaltered BTTF part 1, right up until Marty is sent back to the future via lightning bolt. Then, in a brilliant moment of utter confusion, a SECOND Marty runs out from behind the clocktower dressed in black, and tells Doc he's back from the future.
