New update is made to v2.0 (I didn’t do a v1.1 because this was a pretty good overhaul).

Thank you Colin Robinson.

CamSMurph the plan is the same as the last time I answered this same question from you.

I had not been in this thread for quite a while, and I am sorry to hear about any health issues and would like to wish you the best.

Hal thank you! Luckily I’m slowly bouncing back from severe pneumonia (and pulmonary embolism) and tests came back negative for cancer. So I’m doing much better.

That was quite the impressive 30 second rotoscope to get everyone’s favorite giant lobster in there.

The 4K render of Dinner with Hannibal is now released.

Edit: current release is v1.0… and a v1.1 is in process as well, making the final interaction between H and his favorite FBI Agent a little creepier, tweaking the grading of deleted scenes, and a few other final fixes.

v3.0 is released:

Audio transition corrections, volume levels, center channel fill, and SFX work for seamless, professional level sound.
Improved night Ach-to regrade again.
Removed Luke’s V.O. during Rey’s vision with the cave serpent and replaced it with Kylo Ren‘s voice.
Added shot of dark side Rey to the vision with the cave serpent.
Added Vader’s castle into the Mustafar sequence from the Ascendant project. I fiddled around with the existing audio so it’s passable for now.
Changed and simplified the new Ren dialogue for the big reveal scene to remove the wonky, robotic dialogue!
Zoomed in a bit on old-school Obi-Wan so that his shot is similar to the other force ghosts.

Looking at how nicely Ascendant is coming along, I found my Resurgence project files (thought they were gone!) and am in the process of a major update to release version 3.0 by the end of 2021. This will make Resurgence a seamless professional level edit; changes include:

Audio transition corrections, volume levels, center channel fill, and SFX work for seamless, professional level sound.
Improved night Ach-to regrade again.
Removed Luke’s V.O. during Rey’s vision with the cave serpent and replaced it with Kylo Ren‘s voice.

Sorry about all that bullshit that’s going on over there, MR. You being in the service industry, it’s such a hard hit with the pandemic. I hope things turn around for better soon.

I plan on probably doing a VERY LIGHT edit of the new 4K release of The Silence of the Lambs. But this would be a very light fix as this is a near perfect film as is. This would fix some things like Buffalo Bill using his night vision outdoors when it was not very dark and Jack realizing Clarice was in danger at the end when he had no reason to.

it should be ready in less than a week. I had to do redo with some slight DnR due to 50gb filesize of the encode

edit: ridley scott loves his grain with extra grain

You wouldn’t happen to have this version without the narration, would you? 😃

Yes, there are two audio tracks included in my edit. One with edited narration and one with no narration.

Again thanks for reviewing, Vultural. I need to post some reviews of edits I’ve watched on your thread as well.

Blade Runner - The Nexus-7 Cut - Krausfadr

Narrative - This is fix and not a mix, so nothing is changed. The ending is somewhat unresolved, and the unicorn abides. Unless you are deeply into Blade Runner, the unicorn is an enigma.

This ain’t at FE! What the hell?

It’s awesome when I see something of mine reviewed. Thanks for watching.

The main narrative change of N-7 is completely removing Zhora’s dossier so a first time viewer would be unsure if Deckard retired a human, that is, until Bryant comes along and calls her a skin job.

As far as FE goes, I’d love to have some of my edits approved over there, but FE does not seem to have the resources to incorporate new faneditors into their “approved” ranks, at least not within what most people would consider a reasonable amount of time. An edit of mine was in the FE queue for four months pending review, then unfortunately after that wait I got very sick and had to remove it from consideration. It would be nice if they made the process a bit easier (and thus faster) for new editors.

EDIT: I have learned FE will still look at an approved editor’s new release if any errors/glitches/glaring problems are pointed out by the viewers. They should be brought to attention in the user reviews section. People may be apprehensive to give critical reviews but this is important.

DINNER WITH HANNIBAL

A Hannibal (2001) film editing project in 4K with lossless 5.1 surround sound

Technical:
• Original runtime 2h 11m, edited runtime 1h 59m
• Released in 4K and 1080p
• HDR to SDR conversion with Dolby Vision
• DTS-MA audio processed in NLE as uncompressed 5.1 channel WAV and encoded to lossless FLAC
• HEVC codec, full 10-bit pipeline, CPU encoded only (no GPU acceleration)
• Selected deleted/alternate scenes upscaled with Topaz

Summary:
• Hannibal Lecter is now depicted as a horrific monster, not some relatable romantic and amusing fellow with a moral code
• Streamlined the storyline, removing convoluted subplots (no more Barney)
• Tightened up the messy opening action sequence, trimming the drama weighing it down
• An improved, dramatic ending with Hannibal acting like the serial killer he is— above all else he is a predator who acts in his own sick self interest
• Mason Verger is a more mysterious and threatening figure
• Clarice Starling is stronger and more decisive while still maintaining her vulnerability
• Inspector Pazzi is smarter (but still not smart enough)
• Established a connection to the first film using the asylum deleted scene, not through Barney
• Lessened the heavy-handed anti-religion themes (from Mason)
• Incorporated select deleted/alternate scenes, scored and re-foleyed as needed, converted to 5.1 surround
• The identity of Il Monstro is clearer than the deleted material alone presented
• Ensured the selected deleted/alternate material matched up reasonably well in 4K by upscaling, color grading, and even removing poor quality shots

Change list: (SPOILER ALERT)
1. Updated the older MGM and Universal logos.
2. Added a news sound byte during the Universal opening logo: an audio flash forward.
3. Removed the opening scene— Barney’s discussion with Mason and sale of the mask.
4. Removed the opening title: “Hannibal.”
5. Clarice sleeping in the transport is cut (repurposed for a later scene).
6. Opening scene is now the FBI setting up at the Fish Market.
7. Clarice doesn’t talk about Evelda being HIV positive.
8. Significantly trimmed and cut various shots after the drug bust goes wrong— to tighten up the action.
9. Evelda doesn’t say, “Is that you, Starling?”
10. Evelda doesn’t shoot Clarice (originally Clarice was hit in the vest). Clarice instead shoots her attacker in mid-draw before she gets a round off.
11. Slowed down Evelda collapsing which is now the end of the scene. Cut Clarice rushing in to help and washing blood off the baby.
12. Cut Clarice sobbing at home after killing Evelda.
13. Trimmed Clarice watching the news coverage of the botched raid and ATF agent killed.
14. Added trimmed deleted scene of Clarice mourning with a colleague.
15. Mason is no longer shown watching the news.
16. At the meeting, Clarice doesn’t mention the death of the agent or say she resents herself for shooting Evelda.
17. Cut Clarice’s lines about feeling betrayed by her boss and saying, “it changes me.”
18. We meet Mason the same time Clarice does. Removed his parody line, “and nobody beats the Riz [the risen Jesus].” He’s serious about religion, not a troll.
19. Removed parts of Mason’s interview, including talking about throwing away an envelope.
20. Mason doesn’t remark to Clarice that she recoiled from him mentioning the name of God.
21. Moved the Mason peeling flashback and discussion of the package/information he received— to be used in a later scene.
22. Cut the X-ray.
23. Cut Barney and Clarice’s entire discussion of Hannibal’s motivations, roller pigeons, and serial killer memorabilia.
24. Moved initial tape playback of Hannibal’s roller pigeon monologue earlier, but it’s mostly in the background.
25. In her basement office we hear VO of Clarice’s continued conversation with Mason as she listens to the Hannibal tapes. Now it is Mason, not Barney, who gave her the tapes.
26. Trimmed some lines and odd facial expressions from the guy who brings Clarice the box of evidence.
27. Removed emphasis on Barney in the old Hannibal asylum surveillance video.
28. Added the deleted scene of Clarice visiting the abandoned asylum but cut the Barney flashback and corny Hannibal voiceover.
29. Trimmed some redundant lines from the awkward groundskeeper letting Clarice into the asylum.
30. Intercut Clarice searching around Hannibal’s empty, dark cell with Mason’s peeling flashback.
31. Clarice is startled by what sounds like Hannibal.
32. Trimmed the encounter with the old vagrant in the cell.
33. After visiting the asylum, Clarice continues listening to the Hannibal tapes at home.
34. Added trimmed deleted scene of Hannibal offering insight to Inspector Pazzi about the Il Monstro local murders.
35. Added audio riser and hit cue when we see the janitor in the crowd deleted scene— to help hint this could be Il Monstro.
36. Added deleted scene of Pazzi sharing Hannibal’s insight with other officers.
37. Integrated part of the deleted scene of Hannibal narrating his letter— to add his condolences for Jack Crawford’s death.
38. Cut some of the crime photos showcased on Clarice’s wall to make the Botticelli victim photo now attributed to Il Monstro less noticeable.
39. Clarice does not tell Paul a lot of detail why Hannibal dines on his victims. No “public service” motivation.
40. Cut Paul’s corn-poned line. We get it already, he’s an asshole.
41. As Pazzi does internet research, cut him looking at a photo of a secret agent guy he never calls. Didn’t use the deleted scene of this call because it was boring.
42. Pazzi doesn’t smile nervously after Hannibal’s snaps his photo. Removed conversation about how the boxes are a heavy two-man job.
43. When Pazzi picks up evidence from Hannibal, added a brief conversation about Il Monstro from a deleted scene.
44. Hannibal doesn’t say, “okie dokie” when helping Pazzi move stuff.
45. Much less of Mason on the call to check on his killer swine.
46. Hannibal doesn’t turn back to glare weirdly at Pazzi during the opera. Pazzi couldn’t have been so dumb not to know his cover was blown at that point.
47. Hannibal doesn’t go into detailed analysis of the sonnet he gives Allegra, alluding to his own love for Clarice.
48. Hannibal incapacitates Pazzi in a more realistic and predatory manner while Il Monstro watches from the shadows. Added translation of Il Monstro’s short dialogue to the deleted scene footage.
49. Less ok’s and no okey-dokey’s from Hannibal during Pazzi’s confinement and interrogation.
50. When Clarice calls Pazzi to warn him, Hannibal hangs up without saying goodbye.
51. Il Monstro nods to a departing Hannibal as the two share a special serial killer moment (added trimmed deleted scene). Added new voice and subtitles to show Il Monstro’s appreciation.
52. Removed Hannibal’s facial antics before slitting a henchmen’s throat.
53. Cut Mason commenting on footage of Hannibal waving.
54. Added deleted scene of Hannibal’s flight to the US. Created new scene of a disturbing dream he has onboard.
55. Added trimmed deleted scene of Hannibal breaking into Clarice’s car and licking the steering wheel.
56. Cut Clarice listening to the roller pigeon tape again after she’s dismissed from duty.
57. Cut some of Hannibal’s weird lines during his extended phone call with Clarice.
58. Cut the second time the mirror warps the shape of Hannibal’s head during the call.
59. Hannibal doesn’t leave ladies shoes in the photo booth and say, “ta ta.”
60. After Hannibal is kidnapped, cut Clarice saying she is not an hysteric and the lines from her boss about not believing her.
61. Cut the scene of Mason wearing Hannibal’s mask.
62. Cut Mason having Paul repeat the bribe amount and calling him a cocksucker.
63. Rescored Mason telling Hannibal of his soon to be fate as hog food. Now it feels more momentous and ominous.
64. Tightened up the second gunfight in barn.
65. Trimmed Mason falling into the pig pit.
66. Cut a final shot of Hannibal walking away heroically, Clarice in his arms.
67. Shortened Paul’s phone call telling his assistant to hold all his calls. He doesn’t mention the holiday.
68. Added a radio playing a New Year’s celebration broadcast as Paul sees the sparkler going off in his kitchen.
69. Trimmed some moments of the dinner, including some of Paul’s rude comments to Clarice. He’s still rude at dinner, but the point that he’s a “rude person” isn’t beaten like a dead horse.
70. At dinner Hannibal doesn’t say he hates rude people or tell Clarice she should look in a mirror to see incorruptibility. Now he’s being a little more antagonistic toward her.
71. Hannibal doesn’t talk as he’s wheeling Paul back toward the kitchen, and Paul doesn’t croak the word, “coffee.”
72. As he physically restrains Clarice, Hannibal doesn’t say he came halfway around the world to watch her run.
73. Hannibal asks if Clarice would ever ask him to stop but removed the “if you love me” part. She does not reply. The whole interaction is now much creepier.
74. Hannibal does not shed a CG tear before he brings down the cleaver.
75. Cut Clarice chasing Hannibal outside after he flees the Lake house. Hannibal has now cut off her hand, not his own.
76. Added deleted scene of Hannibal getting the van and escaping— to emphasize he is not injured. Added the full VO audio tape of the roller pigeon monologue here, removing reference to Barney.
77. Using shots from the film, Prisoners, created a new scene of an unmarked police car driving at a high speed. We learn Clarice is being rushed to the hospital, but that Hannibal took her hand.
78. Using earlier footage of sleeping in the transport, added grading and VFX so Clarice is in the backseat of the police car and wakes up.
79. The original plane brain scene is mixed with much of the alternate version so that Hannibal’s arm is not in a sling.
80. Added earlier end title, “Dinner With Hannibal.”
81. Removed end scrolling title, “Hannibal.”
82. Stopped your friendly neighborhood cannibal from saying “ta ta… H” after the credits.

Edit updated, re-titled as Hannibal’s Requiem.

I’m back on a casual basis. This edit is available.

CaptainFarady beautiful work there of “I’m a Jedi.” That one little line is most difficult to achieve, convincingly.

silvernibbs, I’m not engaging in any fanedit activities at this time. You might be able to get a copy from someone else on the forum.

I still don’t get what is going on with krausfadr right now.

I’m having health issues so I’m not doing fanedit stuff at the moment.

thanks atom-88, I’m doing well relative speaking. hopefully my retirement will be temporary but if and when I do come back, I’ll slow way down. And hopefully others could share any fanedits of mine they have. Thanks!

I plan to still release Daughter of Themyscira…

Hello, I am retiring from fanediting to focus on some major health issues. Thanks for your understanding as I will no longer be responding to fanedit inquiries.

AspiringCreator said:

Well a little while ago I finished the edit and gave my full honest review.

Thank you so much for the detailed and very fair review. Criticisms I would add to my own edit are some of the audio transitions in the cuts were not smooth enough especially in the monkey elf scene. And an earlier instance of the edit had slightly better editing on the revamped Kylo Dialogue. But unfortunately I did this edit in Premiere and it glitches when saving audio at a granular level and reloading the project.

My hope is someone builds off Ascendant while using my or a similar implementation (idea by idir_hh) of Rey Killed her parents. I’d also like to see others moving the Emperor reveal to later but no one has jumped on that. Hal’s implementation of the Emperor’s broadcast, though, is quite brilliant and I’d be fine with his version of the scene in a “definitive” cut.

The best parts of my edit are probably the improved Rey Vs Ren in TIE Fighter, replacing, new SFX for the cartoony stormtrooper yells, tightening up of the final battle sequences (Finn and Jannah getting rescued) and celebration/hugs afterward.

Glad you appreciated some of the elements. Hope someone else takes some of my ideas and builds something even better!
