Idea: Matrix + Pop Culture = ?
Time
When you through the final punch b4 neo surrenders to smith, it cuts to the scene in m1 where morpheous explains to neo the matrix. But instead of our two major protagonists two 2d pixels characters appear, as the brothers wachowski residual self images. They explain how it's a sweet ending for a movie, but a lame ending for a video game. You want 20 more minutes of button pushing action. So a giant king kong smith appears and you fight him. When you beat him all of the agents explode like b4 and we are the champions play as clips from the end of m3 play. It's sweet!

Idea: Matrix + Pop Culture = ?
Time

As I beat path of neo and laughed my head off as queen played in the background during the end, a thought ran through my mind.

A matrix cut with out much plot or philosophy and a lot of pop culture songs.

It be a lot shorter, very fun and playful.

I know this would be like painting a mustache on the Mona Lisa. But I mean look at this

Would you watch it? is it in bad taste? any songs I must do?

That should help a ton. The clothes match pretty well. The wall seems a little bit too yellow, you'll have to choose which is more important the wall or the clothes. Personally I'd go wall. Maybe it's just in m3 the wall has green splashes it doesn't in m1. Lol, I hope no one is like, who is this guy telling everyone what to do? I use to supervise building sets in high school, so little things stick out to me. I developed a critical eye and it's natural tendency to try and fix little things. However, when I hit spring break and take a crack at my version, you can strike back 10 fold! I am hoping for a fan edit that doesn't feel like a fan edit, which from what I have seen, it's pretty dang hard to pull off!

Just to clairfy my point:

In film making it is usually important to start with an establishing shot before the one person cut aways, so we can see who's on the scene before any action or dioulge takes place.

I.E. seeing the oracle by herself in the kitchen helps the viewer understand whats going on. It would really help it seem less like a fan edit.

But, I'll let you try it your way, if you think it flows better go for it, your the boss. One sugjestion, is if your editing software allows you to do some color correction, try to darken the scenes with gloria foster, and if it's advanced, try to match the green lighting in the kitchen from M1 to M3.

Just my two cents, keep up the hard work. I can't wait to see the end product.

What's though is most of the games scences only work if you have scene some of the plot of the video game, like the whole keymaker scence. To those who haven't played through the game, you don't understand that Niobe and Ghost have just been cornored in a no chance to win battle in a sewer. However, I draw the line at putting poorly rendered scenes of actual game play in my movie.

I am just looking if people like the idea of trying to use the giant smith as an ending, or is just to dang campy?

Dr. M, the first works, if you could some how set up her being in the room in the first place. Maybe put a shot of her from M1 right before neo enters, and then start with the smiths. I dunno?

Random question, what's the best way to rip dvd's in to AVI's?

I just want to know if anyone had any thoughts about trying to use the cgi scene from the end Path of Neo. It would need to be re-edited to use some human stuff and not be so campy.

If you haven't seen it. There is a steamable web version out there. But basically a King Kong sized smith gets created and neo beets the crap out of it. I am sure the idea will be torn apart, but maybe I just need to hear why?

I am on early stages myself of a matrix fanedit, I plan to use a lot of ETM. If there is a chronlogical script of how it all works in, I would love if someone could PM it to me.
