SUPERHEROES DVD tweaks…
Over a year ago, in preparation for the SUPERHEROES DVD release, I went back and made several re-edits and tweaks. Most of the work went into cleaning up the audio (remember that we shot most of SUPERHEROES with a crappy camera-mounted shotgun mic, thus there was a lot of handling noise). However, there were some slight picture edits; such as swapping takes or adding shots and extra audio.
Sadly, as I noted in one of my previous posts, all my materials for the SUPERHEROES DVD were lost in a hard drive crash (not to mention the master copies of pretty much all my other films). So you’d think this stuff would never, and could never, be seen. WRONG.
Before my hard drive crashed I added all five episodes of SUPERHEROES to YouTube. And I didn’t use those old .mov files when I uploaded it. Instead, I compressed .mp4 files from the RE-EDITED master of SUPERHEROES and uploaded those! And with the master copies and .mp4’s now gone forever, the YouTube version of SUPERHEROES is the sole surviving copy of my re-edit. So if you haven’t watched each episode on YouTube yet, I’d recommend it. Like I said, not that much has changed. Or hey, if you’re super nerdy or just have a lot of time on your hands, you could compare the .MOV files which are still available for download here and the YouTube versions to see what’s changed.
- Episode 1 - Episode 2 - Episode 3 - Episode 4 - Episode 5 -
In addition, I’d added two fan-edited SUPERHEROES tribute videos to YouTube. Tribute #1 is by TFN’s Ephisus, Tribute #2 is by The_Battle_For_Endor. Enjoy! And stay tuned to this site for more updates on our failed SUPERHEROES EPISODE 6 effort.
Does this mean we will have commentaries to these shorts?
Yes! Eventually…
