.-The Matrix Hacked-..:Completed:.

I think it is a good idea to keep the number of people involved in a project as limited as possible (but not just one - you should have at least someone to check your project through before publishing). Therefore I suggest, DM, you pick some people and discuss your project with them and present a final version when it is done. Here with all these different opinions or most of all no opinions at all anything could get lost. ...ehm, of course I would gladly be of help, but rather by email.

Neo lets him. The Matrix movies were always a lot about faith. Smith had to believe he defeated Neo and really could convert him (which he always must have doubted since it is impossible for the Yin to convert the Yang. Smith's belief made his defeat possible (at least that is what I think). I always thought that the religious component of Matrix R&R was rather difficult and implausible, especially considering that machines created the matrix.

'13-30 Extraflirty' fan edit (Released)
Time
thank you for your comment. You are right, we had some quality issues with WOTW, even though we chose a higher bitrate than in most of our other edits. The original DVD quality of WOTW is a shame, especially for a high tech science fiction movie of today. Then we had the really annoying and this time unsolvable interlacing problem (there are several scenes, where you can clearly see stripes in scenes of heavy movement), which was caused because we used so many different video sources at once and our software couldn't handle it right. And about Tim Robbins in the background... yep, he is there and you can you can spot him at least once quite clearly, but we required this scene with Tom and Dakota. Most of the time we erased Tim by creating additional shadows that move with the light sources of the movie, but that was not possible there. But if you stay focussed on the action it doesn't matter. We showed the movie to several people, who did not watch the original (so they would not look for Tim Robbins anywhere) and they realized the movement in the background but did not think much about it, since there was no explanation given and the movie just went on. A hard compromise for a scene. And just when we finished converting the final version that you saw, our editor program denied to open the save file again... (it was the first time and last time we used ULEAD MEDIA STUDIO PRO 8). There was nothing that could be done about that. Since we had been working on the video material for weeks already (especially to cut Tim Robbins out), we had to make a choice and decided to use the final version, because it was sufficient (which is a terrible word to write, when you want to produce quality). Of course we are still proud of our movie and consider it an improvement over the original.

I am glad you enjoyed the movie, Segaflip. Thanks again for your feedback. This is what we lack the most anyway.

Info: for 'Halloween - Perfect Collection' DVD (available in Germany)
Time
The German DVD comes in a black metal case with The HALLOWEEN letters and Michael's mask being shaped into it.

It is the second movie, where I got a movieframecard, but I don't know who collects these things and why. There was also a Jack O'Lantern blinky in it. The only thing really missing is John Carpenter's audio commentary. That would have been perfect.

THE FAN EDIT CONTEST HAS A WINNER !!! REVIEWS IN OFF TOPIC FORUM
Time
This means we will have our results before the oscars... along with the annual razzies ..whatever that means

And on a little sidenote: BLOODRAYNE is not nominated for razzies. I thought this one would be the overall winner. But maybe they don't pick Uwe Boll pictures there anymore, because he wins them all in a row, no competition.
