Re-Editing Out of the Shadows

[Panda_Kahn_fan]

Ilike the extended ending better. Also, PLEASE try to leave as many B&R scenes in as possible. All that should have to are is the 'big bang' fart joke, and the 'my man' joke.

And I agree with everybody else here; how much can Casey whining can be cut down without pulling away scenes from the other characters?

PERFECT! It makes it look like Casey actually might've killed the two, leaving it open to viewer interpretation (april's report says they were in custody, but didn't say alive).

I kind of preferred that they survived, personally.

Eh, in that case, you still have April's 'in-custody' line.

Presently I'm starting to see if I scale back on the "ooze can make us human" subplot, now the Turtles simply argue over opposing strategies. I'm also going to move up Don and Leo at the museum to just before we catch up on what Vernon's up to.

In this clip, I omit Mikey's corny introductions to Casey, Casey being tricked into attacking Splinter, Bebop and Rocksteady's excessive overeating, and omitting the "big bang" joke

Sigh, another bebop and rocksteady scene bites the dust.

Still, the edits are clean, and remove the offending 'dumb' material. Good job.

[ZariusTwo]

Thanks a bundle.

It's like putting lipstick on a pig.

Did you work on removing the hideous nostrils/noses from the Turtles faces? Goddamn, the Turtles designs are so off-putting. Especially with those disgusting horrible noses.

We really need some good CG effect artist to remove the noses on every scene the Turtles are in. I know that would be a lot of work due to the sheer mass of scenes they're in, but those awful noses need to be chopped off. Give them nose jobs.

I'd love to find time to do that...or rather find time to learn that first, it's a bit out of my range of expertease for the moment.

Here's an update....I've trimmed the raid on the police station to remove Vincent recognizing Jones and any references to Raph wanting the mutagen to turn human. As promised, I also bumped up Leo and Don at the museum to just after Vernon is recruited

Are you going to upload it all as one movie when you're done? I'd be interested to see what you get the runtime down to.

Shame one couldn't do it up in such a way that when hears the cartoonish 'Pop!' that Bebop could gasp in horror, 'Oh no, I think it's gone!'

That would have been better I think. How would the police (or a jail) even be able to contain those two?

I'm definitley going to release it at some point, I just have to be sure I've combed everything over first. I'm curious about the running time myself, as I haven't exactly been making these clips in one continuous timeline in the software I'm using.

[ZariusTwo]

Back with a new update, I've omitted the Turtles in-fighting over the Ooze and also took out Casey and April being interogated

How long is the movie after all the cuts?

These are just test edits, I haven't committed to the full timeline yet, I'll let you know when I put them all together

Awesome, thanks for letting me know. I wonder if it would be possible to cut the entire movie to the length of 1 hour and have it play out like a multi-parter episode from the FW cartoon. For added effect, maybe you could insert some of the tracks from the show into the scenes with low/no music.

You either hate the movie or you like it for what it is, this isn't a situation like The Next Mutation where editing could actually make the movie better IMHO.

How can you make a monstrosity like Next Mutation better? I like the sarcasm and puns and some jokes you get when yo are older like the first three films and the 1987 cartoon,but Next Mutation is plain out camp and I don't mean the enjoyable Adam West variety. You also cant cut out Venus and there is not enough footage of Shredder to keep him in it. Not to mean the corny voice over for his character.

Somewhat off topic,one thing I would like reedited,is Batman Forever. Cut out some of the neon, add more of the psychological study where Val Kilmer and Chase are talking and he says 'I killed them'. Also, digitally makeover Jim Caray in the final act. Then you got yourself a pretty good film.
