Their facebook page has to be the saddest thing ever. They have just 1 like.

So how the hell can the edit be too big for downloading? If they're only going be streaming a DVD res video then why not release that? Or is it Anti-Matter's ego that has become too big? ;)

I almost liked it out of sympathy. Then I thought "please don't feed the animals"

Now, to finally deliver... Here's a new clip from RotS! Enjoy! http://vimeo.com/68873911

Nice clip as always.

A couple of thoughts.... I like that it seems that Anakin is halfway down his fall with making his own decision to kill Dooku. I'd leave that. 

What i would personally remove his palpy's obviously evil thought process of leaving obi-wan. Just way too obvious. I would consider cutting that line and cutting straight to a shot of Anakin carrying Obi-wan. I don't even think you have to show him going to Obi-Wan to remove him from underneath the fallen platform. Maybe that helps you lose the falling platform all together?

Just now seeing this... Looks interesting. Hope to take a look soon!

I see what you did there.

My first thought is he wants to drum up web traffic. He sees his meltdown over here might be the most interesting thing he's done, and rather than be a digital Lady of Shallott weaving shadow tapestries with his own sock accounts, he wants all us lemmings to go give him attention in his own sandbox. 

Yeah, well I refuse to do that now. It was amusing for awhile, but it's just old and tired. 

If he wants to talk, I'll be here. Otherwise, he can just go talk to himself as normal.

My first thought when Thunderclap pointed this open invitation to me was that it was an IP fishing expedition, but that type of bait and switch would really only have made sense back before they went all Fight Club and closed down all outsiders from even being able to find the handle to the front door. Now that they've gone underground, I see little value to them in harvesting IP blocks 'of the enemy' unless it's a waaaaay over-the-top effort to be able to screen out any people who learn the secret handshake and get an invite into their Stone Cutter Society.

What this seems more likely to me is a means of getting attention. They do correctly assume that members of both OT and FE get a kick out of checking their site out so that their 'invitation' was certainly going to get noticed, and we know they do love attention.  As any parent knows, a child will do anything to get attention, even if they have to act out in order to get it.

Ultimately, this thread has already given AM what he wants:

1. Attention
2. Affirmation of his belief that he is persecuted
3. Proof that OT and FE are full of nothing but A-holes who aren't worth his time and should continue to be banned from his site

 

Now I'm not defending his actions or history. Any reasonable person who reads through the infamous thread can clearly see a talented editor with an ambitious concept receiving literally nothing but supportive, constructive reviews, critiques, suggestions and above all, genuine interest regarding his project. Then out of the blue it turned into one of the most amazing and head-scratching melt-downs that I've ever seen on a forum. I came to the thread with no prior knowledge of the events and not knowing the history of DFE so read it with about an open a mind as you can get. It is in a word, inexplicable.

But honestly, this thread and the piling on that happens here only further reinforces the opinions of DFE about OT (and FE due to many common forum members).

Ultimately I echo Frink's sentiment that it would be wonderful for a DFE member to post here in an attempt at meaningful dialog, but we all know it would take less than five posts for someone to post something snarky, reinforcing their world-view and restoring their bunker mentality.

In the end, I think we have a greater chance of seeing peace between Israel and Palestine in our lifetimes than seeing this silliness end.

Ditto.

Oh ady, you might enjoy a few of the comments at the bottom of this article:

http://digital-fanedits.com/articles/news/115-am-becomes-a-dm

ha ha. funny as fuck.

So Anti-matter is now a certified divemaster. Well he certainly should be certified ;)

So now we know his plans. He is building an underwater community where his minions will live for the coming apocalypse. They will be cut off from the rest of the world and they will have a daily morning prayer session where they worship at the alter of the Fan-editing god himself, the superiorly moral Anti-Matter. But his followers will never know that there was no apocalypse because anyone caught going on to any other website than an Anti-Matter approved one, will be forever cast out from his eternal light. 

 

Apparently I performed a "great disappearance."

Aw.... They really did miss me.

Honestly, Anti-Matter has some skills. It's been mentioned before, but his rotoscoping work to remove Jar-Jar from a few scenes was very impressive.

It's been quite a number of years since I've seen the edit, but the problem from me was mostly from the restructured narrative. If Anti-Matter would have been up for more constructive criticism, his edit could have easily ranked pretty high on the list.

It would be cool if he could see that, be open to it, and achieve that amazing edit that was there somewhere.

Unfortunately he decided to arbitrarily ban me from his website when I was actually contributing to conversation quite a bit.

I'm still not sure what happened. Anti, we all know you read this? Honestly, when you banned me, what was the REAL reason? You can PM if you would like to to be private. It won't find itself on here either.

I don't expect a response, but maybe you'll surprise me? 

The myspleen torrent isn't seeding at all btw.

About the Easter Egg with a bunch of Nooooooo's, I say do it lol.  Just thinking about Vader when Luke falls will be bloody hilarious!

And speaking on the subject of Wampas, wouldn't it have been cool if Ady and Co.  recreated that deleted scene to take out some Stormtroopers etc.  Could even hire that Vader actor to get a little more involved too.

My dream is Disney doing a seemlessly branched Blu-Ray boxset of the OT from a brandnew new 4K/wetgate/70mm/allthatjazz scan. It could be branched into 3 versions:

1. Absolutely untouched versions.

2. Adywan style "Fixed" versions that are improved at a technical level but not fundamentaly changed.

3. A new fully pimped out 'Super Special Edition' with every single deleted scene put in, cleaned up, re-scored and redubbed. The whole show. Hell re-do all the special effects from scratch while your at it.

Think that package would please everybody. It's not beyond the wit of man.

My Blade Runner and Avatar boxsets have got 3 seemlessly-branched versions, result. Also my 10x Star Trek movie boxset has two cuts of every film branched for my optional enjoyment (Ditto my Alien(s) boxset). My Star Trek OS Blu-Rays have two branched versions of every episode, updated or original (Your choice).

Probably too much to hope for.

 

As I understand it Disney only has sequel rights. Not sure they can mess with the current films.

 

If that's true, my hopes are wrecked for having a new reimagined prequel trilogy.

 

Just popping in to say I hope this can be figured out. 

Good luck!

I'm interested to check this out, but I would love to see a list of changes as well. Sometime people like to see this before they invest download time.

Regardless, I appreciate your efforts.

There have been some amazing prequel edits, and while these  did make the films better, I'm still of the belief that the only way to fix the films is that they get re-made completely. I want to be wrong, so I keep hoping someone will have that magic epiphany and it all comes together. Maybe you're that guy.

Good luck in all your efforts.

DFE Says "No Thanks" to User Registrations

Written by VFlix

Digital Fanedits has completed its spring access reconfiguration and is now semi-private.

The DFE website has always strived to provide a secure and constructive environment for faneditors to work and develop. To this end, last week the DFE staff stopped accepting anonymous registrations, which were being abused too frequently by the fanedit.org and originaltrilogy.com communities. As ot.com user 'darth_ender' openly explains:

"I made a few butt-kissy comments to try to "infiltrate" and gain their trust, but then I stopped caring and haven't really had anything to do with them since."

It is one of many cases where users from other websites registered a DFE account never intending to contribute to the art and science of fanediting.

Under the new semi-private configuration, registrations at Digital Fanedits are intended for active faneditors who want to involve themselves in our feature-rich environment. Ordinary users may have a means of joining in the coming months through Facebook validation.

 

 

Anti-Matter

Lol @ darth_ender. The reason he "stopped" everything is because we identified and blocked him long before he posted that lame attempt at saving face.

 

 

Ha!

So he was banned because he ceased to butt-kiss? Good form, Anti-Matter. 

You know why he always knows its one us? Because he didn't come up with the identity himself.

Enjoy your private site as you exercise your multiple personalities, Anti-Matter.

I've been SUPER busy these days...
But I do have SOME work to share after all this time.

Basically, I'm focusing on something that I've boiled down to being one of the most important big changes I'm doing: using lots of ANH music. 

I love the RotS soundtrack, but it's too much like I and II, and not nearly enough like IV.
Naturally, if the film looks, walks, and talks like a prequel, we'll always group it with the prequels. But I think the Star Wars films ought to be looked at as pairs.

I and II are a pair.
III and IV are a pair.
V and VI are a pair.

You can change the editing style and the visuals all you want, but RotS is not going to feel like A New Hope unless they share similar musical cues. A New Hope has very distinct cues, but most of them are ONLY heard in A New Hope - something that doesn't really happen in the other Star Wars films. All the scores have unique cues, but there is really only one in ANH that persisted. So why does RotS sound more like films that come AFTER ANH, but not like ANH itself? Well - I'd love to fix that.

http://vimeo.com/64784747 

The second video isn't working btw. Loved the cue for the first video. 

I think I know how you did it, but i'll ask anyway... How did you swap the music? I think I hear new sound effects, but just curious if you cracked the code of music removal.

Eh....... sigh..... No longer worth my effort. 

Adywan. The best reward I could receive is getting to watch ESB:Revisited sooner or even that it would remove some stress from your life; feel free to cut my name.

I understand for the most part why Bingo feels the way he does. Not saying I agree, but I can see where he draws those ideas from.

At the surface it might seem that God comes off cruel, and I think it does too without going too deep into things.

I've never come across God-endorsed rape at all. Not sure where that's coming from.

But as far as the rest I had to ask myself the question: Is it possible that God knows something I don't know? Is it possible he allowed this person and that person to be killed because he knew something about the person that we didn't know? Maybe they would have done terrible things, maybe not. Maybe he knew that person would never turn back to Him. Maybe it's something none of us can even fathom. (Probably so.)

God is eternal. He exists outside of time. He knows all, and sees all at once. Anyone able to do that? If not, is possible He knows something we don't know?

Surely the whole point of having an open thread on the subject is to talk openly about it.

Highlight my condescending tone.

In earnest, if you weren't trying to be condescending; I apologize. 

Feel free to throw your questions my way, Bingo. I can handle them. =) 

As I was saying before. If anyone wants to go deeper on the subject, feel free to PM me.

Bingowings said:

Honestly this is me not mocking I'm really reflecting back what you guys are telling me.

Have I missed anything?

Granted it's abridged, that's it. 

Bingowings said:

So God made man and insists that man obeys him of his free will and because we haven't he has repeatedly punished us with plagues and deluges and wars.

But this hasn't got us being obedient.

So he makes himself into one of us.

Allows himself to be nailed to a plank and hung on a post.

But comes back from the dead so that if we believe this happened we don't have to pay the penalty of hell for being disobedient.

Am I getting this right?

Along with the condescending tone, yes, you're somewhat right.

Bingowings said:

Go on Warb.

Explain to me how one of hundreds of thousands of human beings nailed up by the Romans in anyway makes my life or the life of anyone else who lived later any better than it was if it hadn't happened.

Taking as a given that Jesus existed, was the son of God and died in that fashion.

What does dying for our sins actually mean?

I promise I will not mock you just explain it.

I'll give you a brief history lesson. There was mankind, and mankind couldn't get right. God punished man in different ways because He had to. 

God introduces sacrifice. They took the most perfect unblemished animal (which was like taking a 10th of your wealth today) and sacrificing it to God in payment for sins. Romans 3:23 says: The wages of sin is death. Hence the DEATH of the animal. 

Only problem is, we continue to sin even after this, and we keep having to sacrifice, and long story short, it's impossible for us to get into heaven without being sinless.

But God allowed this for awhile to beat into humanity how futile salvation is to us.

Fast forward God sends Jesus, His son. (Who is also God. That's for another talk) He's the ONE human that gets it right because He is God. He's sinless. Unlike the animal sacrifices, he actually is unblemished. We still owe a death, and Jesus allowed Himself to be crucified. The world would believe He was merely crucified because of the politics, but there was something bigger going on. He came to die to offer himself as a true and perfect sacrifice. The sacrifice fulfills the wage needed in full. We just have to accept the truth of Christ. That He is the Son of God, that He died for us, and rose again. That sinful me needs Him to cover my sins so that I can go to Heaven. Sin has been forgiven, except one. The unforgiveable sin is to reject the truth of Christ. Therefore you are at this point sending yourself to Hell. 

That's it in a nutshell.
