Super Mario / Captain N / Zelda TV series preservations (a WIP)
Time

I own all of the Shout Factory Nintendo cartoons on DVD (SMB SS vol 1 and 2, SMB3, Zelda, Captain N and the New Super Mario World and Captain N: The Complete Series.)

All of these Shout Factory releases are now OOP, and the newer Mario and Zelda releases are not complete (no live action, for example). I’m pretty sure that there are no currently available Captain N DVDs that are not out of print.

OK, so it's done! Sorry for the hold up. I've got it down to about 5 hours: two 2 1/2 hour parts. That's about half of what the full movies would be at around 10 hours. I can't seem to find any more to cut out. Haven't had a chance to sit down and watch this yet but I will watch this with the family tonight, then we'll watch Avengers again probably tomorrow.

I will have this edit done tonight for sure! Sorry, I was busy getting sunburned on the beach in Cocoa Beach, FL and attending a wedding there as well. I also went through the torture of swimming with dolphins, indoor skydiving, Disney World, Sea World and visiting the in laws and my wife's friends near Orlando. Seriously, it was fun though.

Anyway, I am now back in Ohio (where it's just as hot, if not hotter this weekend, going to be in the 100s I guess) where i will work non stop to finish this edit today, so I can watch it with my wife and her parents (who are driving from Florida tomorow) before we take them to see Avengers in the theater (hopefully it's still playing!).

Oh and I did come up with audio for my "extra scenes", I'll let you guys decide if it's ok or not when you watch it. The two scenes (Howard and Norton turning into Cheadle and Rufallo) are pretty cheesy I suppose, but they work well enough for me.

I'll just post the premise here:

Col Rhodes is in a hurry to try out that War Machine armor that he ends up crashing his car on the way to Tony's. He is injured so badly that plastic surgury is needed.

Bruce Banner sees a different mirror reflection due to Dr. Blue's experiments on him.

Time

DIrishB (the one who's timeline I'm basing mine on) recently updated his timeline based on that official timeline (it is official, it's a scan from a Marvel book). So, I'm in the process of updating mine to reflect that. I'm at work now, but I know we have "Funny Thing" right before Thor DVD chapter 5 (where the one dude pulls up in his pickup, drinks a beer and trys to pick it the hammer. That scene continues as normal (Natalie Portman talking about the constellations and stuff) and chapter 5 ends as Coulson says "Sir, we've found it" (except I used the Iron Man 2 after credits longer version of this scene).

When I get home, I'll look and see how long it takes (in terms of movie runtime between when Coulson tells Stark he's been moved to New Mexico and the Funny Thing short.)

I belive he is driving from New York to New Mexico? What is a reasonable amount of time to drive there?

I like that! I think I'm going to use that (or a slight variation of) for my DVD menu. I'll have to excamine that timeline and see if it's exactly like what I did. I think it's very close. I don't want to this project to look "dated" later, so my edited timeline will base everything on "Present Day" being as the time Hulk was created, then everything before that time will have dates, everything after that will just say, "Two years later", "six months later", etc.

I'm now about 95% sure I will have this done by tomorrow, since it's my day off. Just need to figure out what parts I can delete from "Nick Fury's Big Week" or whatever they called it, to make my "short version".

Idea &amp; Info: Looking forward to... Avengers - The Extended Fan Cut <em>Spoilers</em>

I'm also hoping a deleted scene or two clears up the Stark-Banner arrangement.  I'm not sure why Stark trusted Banner/Hulk as much as he did.

Haven't seen the film yet but character wise, it's probably because they both have the genius/scientist thing going on - Stark is a technology whiz, Banner is a biology whiz.  Not that Thor and Cap are dumb, but it's something Banner and Stark have in common outside of the hero/team thing.

 Well, I did see it and if I had to guess, I'd say that was the reason. Stark told Banner he'd love it at his place with all the technology and stuff.

Anyway, this sounds like a great idea! A few small subtile changes like that and deleted scenes is all this awesome movie needs!

Thought I may as well make my own thread on this instead of taking over the other thread. As you may have guessed, this is a chronological DVD (sorry no Blu Ray or other HD source from me…) edit of the movies that lead up to the Avengers.

I’ve been working on this every day before and after work for what seems like forever now… I didn’t want to watch Avengers until I had it done, but I’m glad I did watch it anyway. After I watch my project, I’m going to watch Avengers again.

The main differences between mine and the other versions out there is that I’m doing both a full 10 or so hour version as well as a more managable 2-3 hr version. Also, I have some “new” scenes in mine, as well as deleted scenes. Some of you may not like these, but you know what? Hit the “skip” button if you don’t wanna see them. I’m also going to remove the after credits scene from Captain America, due to the scene being in the Avengers movie.

I’d say I’m 90% completed now, basically just need to look at some deleted scenes from Disc 2 of the Target 3 disc Incredible Hulk I have. I already have the Alternate Opening, Ross and Blonsky going into more detail about the creation of the Hulk and some bits in Brazil. I also have the alternate opening for Iron Man 2 (with the helmet kiss from the trailer) and a couple other deleted scenes.

“New” scenes:

Birth/ early childhood scenes of Bruce Banner and Tony Stark taken from other movies. It’s only like 2 min worth of footage that transitions into the extended origin of the Hulk (scenes from Hulk mixed with scenes from Incredible Hulk) and then (a shorter version of) the desert scene from Hulk before he runs off to commit suicide in the arctic before settling down in Brazil.

For the Iron Man scenes, I may try and do this as well:

Iron Man voice- You only hear it once or twice in Iron Man but I thought the modified voice that came from the suit was much more fitting of the character than the lightly tinned RDJr voice.  I’m sure there are half-a-dozen people reading this right now that know exactly what effect and how to use it to make the Iron Man voice sound more like that… Make it so.  (You can make the argument that since Stark’s identity as Iron Man isn’t a secret, he doesn’t need a “secret” voice.  Surely he doesn’t need one for that reason, but it just sounds better.

Here is my final timeline:

Marvel’s Avengers Assemble

965-975

Thor Chapter 1

1942-1945

Captain America - The First Avenger Chapters 1-15 (starting with 1942 scenes)

1969

Bruce Banner born

1971

Tony Stark born

PRESENT DAY

Hulk is created, smashes lab, injures the Betty and her father, goes on the run.

TWO YEARS LATER

Banner still on the run, Ross searching for him, Banner attempts suicide in the arctic, settles in Brazil.

LAS VEGAS, TWO YEARS LATER
Iron Man movie (in order, starting with awards presentation in Vegas)
Spoon_Weilder’s Iron Man 1~~2 transition (he did a great job going from the ending “I am Iron Man” to the Vankos in Russia watching it on TV) I did a… well, I got rid of the credits in the beginning of Iron Man 2.

Iron Man 1 after credits scene (ch. 15)

CAR CRASH THAT TURNS TERRANCE HOWARD INTO DON CHEADLE

SIX MONTHS LATER…

IRON MAN 2 ALERNATE OPENING
   
Iron Man 2 Chapters 2-4

The Incredible Hulk Chapters 1-7
 
Thor Chapters 1-4 (again, in order, starting with the corronation on Asgard)

Iron Man 2 Chapters 5-16

Marvel One-Shot - “A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to Thor’s Hammer…”

Thor Chapter 5 (mixed with the after credits scene from Iron Man 2)

Incredible Hulk Chapters 8-11

Thor Chapters 6-10

Iron Man 2 Chapter 17 (Avengers Initative)

The Incredible Hulk Chapter 12
   
Thor Chapters 11-14
  
The Incredible Hulk Chapters 13-18

Iron Man 2 Chapter 17 (awards presentation)

Thor Chapter 16 (after credits scene)

The Incredible Hulk Chapter 19: (until Banner’s eyes Hulk-ify)

ED NORTON’S DNA ALTERED TO LOOK LIKE MARK RUFFALO

Marvel One-Shot - “The Consultant” (with the full Incredible Hulk scene mixed in)

SEVEN MONTHS LATER
Captain America - The First Avenger Chapter 1 (frozen in ice)
Captain America - The First Avenger Chapter 16 (Rogers meets Fury)

In addition to ripping more deleted scenes for Incredible Hulk, I’m also in the process of trimming the movies down for my probably 3 hour version. I’ve currently got Captain America down to about an hour (at least the scenes in the “past”), without really missing anything.

I was of course going to do a DVD version for the “short” version of this edit and was thinking a single Blu Ray disc would hold the entire project in “long” form in DVD quality. But I don’t currently have a BD burner or player of any kind.

Has the fan edit now been submitted to FE.org?


Not yet. The cut is done, but I'm still building the discs. It's slated to be released the first week of May.

 ..He says, as he posts this on May 10th, the second week of May.. hmm.. lol

I wanted to have my Avengers Assembled 'prequel' done before the Avengers movie came out, but I'm still working on that as well.

Never seen any Star Wars fan edits, but this, along with Adywans stuff of course, sounds very interesting!

New scenes for &quot;Avengers prequel&quot;... Looking for talented voice over artist(s)
Time

So, I'm working on a chronological Avengers tie-in movie prequel and I made up some scenes to help show the change to two different actors (Don Cheadle and Mark Ruffalo), but I currently have no sound on them.

Here are the two video-only clips I have made. They are in DVD VOB format. I don't currently have any audio for them, but here's what I have in mind. Feel free to make modifications. Anyone know any good free voice over artists or other works to borrow audio from? I will add some music and sound effects from other sources.


CRASH.VOB
 

Terrence Howard as Col. Rhodes driving his car (racing to get to the "War Machine" armor?)

speeding car sounds/ crashing sounds/ sirens

(maybe a Terrence Howard voiceover in his head from Iron Man "next time" referring to when he saw the said armor in Tony's place.)

 
PARAMEDICS: "Help me get this door open!" "He'll live, but he's been beat up pretty badly."

DOCTORS: "The scarring was extensive. Our only option was full reconstructive surgery."

hospital life support beeping sounds

DOCTORS: "It's a miracle. It appears he has made a full recovery. It is now time to remove the bandages. Col. Rhodes, are you feeling ok?"

-------------------------------------------------------------------
SHOWER.VOB

shower sounds


NARRATOR: "When Banner awoke that day, it was not his own reflection that he saw in the mirror. Thinking he must be crazy, he decided to continue his day."

glass breaking

HULK: "Puny human!" (Audio from Ang Lee's Hulk)

splash sounds into ocean

dream-like music

NARRATOR: "Was it only a dream? Perhaps.... or maybe not? Again, Banner finds himself shaving. It seems that due to Dr. Sterns experimental procedures, Banner's DNA has been altered to the point where he can no longer regain his original human form."

Here are the videos:

CRASH.VOB (car accident that turns Terrence into Don):

Thanks. I hope I can live up to the hype. I wonder if Holtey is still planning anything? Don't get me wrong, I'm sure SpoonWielder's is cool and all, and no, again, it doesn't include the games and comics. The only bad thing is that it's in mp4 format. Mine will be in DVD format and a slightly different scene order.

I will also make two versions, one of which will be in the 2 hour range.

I just need some critique/ suggestions on those two scenes as soon as I finish them and post the video. They are a combination of footage from different movies, TV shows and stock footage and are less than 5 min each.

See if you can guess where they are from. The obvious clip is the "Puny Human" clip from Ang Lee's Hulk.

Here are two video-only clips I have made. They are in DVD VOB format. I don't currently have any audio for them, but here's what I have in mind. Anyone know any good free voice over artists or other works to borrow audio from?

OK, Avengers Assemble then (since they aren't yet assembleD).. Anyway, I think Holtey was the one that came up with inititive.

So, I will post my videos soon of the changes to Ruffalo and Cheadle.. let me know what you think. Right now they are video only.. maybe someone can help me decide on the audio to use...

Terrence Howard crashes his car and has to get pried out.. he gets plastic surgury and turns into Don Cheadle

Ed Norton takes a shower.. looks in the mirror and see's Hulk, looks again and sees Ruffalo.. wakes up. Looks again and sees Ruffalo again. something about DNA changes..
