'13-30 Extraflirty' fan edit (Released)
Time
It's official: PSYCHO_DAYV will be our official CBB edits forwarder for all U.S.
He currently has the following edits:
Matrix DeZIONized
Doomed by the boogeyman
High tension minus one edit
Jailbird

If you contact him via PM or email you can discuss all details on how to get your edit forwarded and what the costs for blanks and delivery are.

Depending on the speed of mail from Germany to USA, he will have all other CBB edits already in may. So this is your chance if you can't or don't download from the internet.

Thank you very much for your help, DAYV.

Maybe you are wondering about the filesize for the DVD being just about 3 GB. Well, it looks great. No more size needed. We made a 3-pass encoding with CCE using 3 GB and an average birate of 4500 kbit/s for comparison and didn't notice much of a difference, so we kept it small-sized.

Anyway, we are very proud of JAILBIRD. It is one of our best edits as of yet.

I am currently looking for an official PIF-spreader of CBB edits in the USA or CANADA. Anyone volunteering for the job? PM me.

you could be right, Dr.M. But still our edit works very well. Maybe once we have seen the unrated edition, there will be an update.

The changes for Blade 3 are not all clear yet, but one thing is clear: Hannibal King will be hardly more than a supportive part of this movie. Jokes and swearing will be filtered out a lot and the entire atmosphere will be darker and more worthy of a Blade movie. This could also mean that our edition becomes very short (probably not more than 60 - 70 minutes), but who cares about length when you get entertainment?

remember what I said about the SPENCE project? Don't give up. Don't rely on feedback here, it is the wrong place. Your edits are very ambitious. Go for them, they could be terrific. Don't stop where others stop, giving up is easy, walking away is easy, finishing what you spent so much time working and talking about is difficult but worth it. I have no idea how you motivate yourself to do the things you do, but you had so much power for weeks and weeks to carry on. Don't let that got to waste.

All original artwork for CBB edits is done by CASTOR & TROY, our beautiful and only female member (so far). The last time you asked this question, it was for the "WAR OF THE WORLDS - THE EXTINCTIVE CUT" cover art. Hopefully this time you ask your question because of the same reason: you like it. Am I right here? (This is my 250th post on this forum, obviously I had a lot to say).

Request: a Ricochet fanedit
Time

Hi,

I would really like a fanedit of the movie Ricochet (1991) with Denzel Washington and John Lithgow. This was an exceptional movie, but totally spoiled by a terrible ending. Hardly anyone will remember this movie at all. But those of you that do: does anyone have an idea how a fanedit of this one could work, how an ending could be concipated that would fit the movie?

Although we were getting criticized for it before, we do change the film title and the intro credits as well as the final credits in the movie, which takes a lot of time usually. The criticism was about presenting ourselves inmidst the spotlight and just showing off. Well, you may see it that way. My opinion is, that an audience is supposed to know what they are watching and who made it. Leaving in the original title and not mentioning the editors would be like presenting the wrong version. We did it and no one can ignore it. This is also meant to keep people from watching our editions when they really want to see the original and vice versa. A fanedit deserves to be a movie on its own and not a false replica of the original. Therefore we will always keep changing intro credits, titles and final credits of a movie for as long as we edit them.
When you watch a CBB edit, this is exactly what you get. With our first three edits these changes were rather embarrassing, because we didn't know then how to fade out text (it's really true) and so we had to let it move above or beyond the edges to get rid of it. Later on our presentation of credits and titles got much better and we are still improving and learning with every new project. BUT althought the first efforts were not the best we never thought of them as a problem, because even major productions use to have very weak intros and it isn't so hard to compete with them after all.

thank you, meedermow, for your comment. It is funny you mention our War of the worlds edit as an example for better quality. Of course the disc size is 4.3 gigs there, BUT especially this edit was the one where we were not satisfied with the picture quality (somewhere above I explained what happened). For VIOLETS we used the same bitrate setting as for WOTW TEC with the difference we stayed with MPEG files this time, instead of recoding to uncompressed avi first (which always gave us an interlacing problem). Since there is much less movement in VIOLETS (the movie could be considered as rather calm), the size needed for the 97 minutes is much smaller, still the quality does not differ much from the original DVD (and this was an even worse DVD quality than War of the worlds, crispy picture, obviously taken from VHS master), we used more contrast and added some colour to get rid of the noisy and pale picture. What makes WOTW TEX so big is the extras actually, we had far more deleted scenes and the broadcast slideshow. So, although I do understand everyone (and you are by far not the first, meedermow) to ask for using the full capacity of a DVD, just because it sounds better, the quality would not differ much (believe me, we tried that), so we stick to small sizes for upload reasons. Hopefully you can still enjoy the outcome. AND if ever someone feels like creating an HQ version of one of our edits, feel absolutely free to do so, I would really love to see a dual-layer version of deZIONized for example.


currently seeded editions:
deZIONized
War of the worlds - extincitve cut
Creasy
Hannibalized
Violets

Klokwerk's CBB DVD Covers Thread (3 Covers + Disc Art Available)
Time
Sorry, I used the wrong word. Tribals are what Germans call symbols, signs. I am referring to the symbols below the writing of "27 days later" which are also on the 28 days later posters everywhere. Is there any meaning to that (maybe I miss some kind of Rohrschach-test)?

And, meedermow, you may be just right about the subtility.

First of all: great you are still working on these covers!!!
The front is good, but much to peaceful IMHO. In this movie hell breaks loose. Walking through a quiet earth is a very small part. So I think a cover with more "action" would be better. It also reminds me on the one thing that was particularly striking me when watching "28 days later": the morning feeling. Of course it is difficult to film on one of the most crowded places on earth and see it quiet and with just the hero. Not everyone has the money (like they did for VANILLA SKY). But I found it rather distracting that it was so clearly very early in the morning all the time, when they showed the empty London scenes. If you can, try to make it more of a horror movie cover. Btw. does anybody have an idea what these tribals mean?
