So basically, it was edited in Excel.

And I thought I was wasting time on the computer....
 
Wow, just wow. I watched about 2 minutes before it got completely annoying. I'm going to politely say it certainly isn't my cup of tea.
 
The fact that he took the time to write some code to help him in his efforts and then go about splicing everything together all based on a dare.....

I'd hate to see what he'd do if someone said "go screw yourself."
 
Yeah I'm all for people making the edits they want to make, but I see no merit in edits like this. There is no intent, there is no audience, there is no narrative, no story. It's literally butchering a film to tiny pieces and leaving the pieces for someone else to find. It seems like the product of a mental disorder rather than a labor of love.

Did you read the interview with the editor? He goes through his inspiration and intent. The over 272,000+ views his edit has so far (although, I'm sure very few watched the whole thing) and the several articles written about it is the audience. And the way he describes Wizard of Oz - the detail of the background scenes and in the sound mix and such - it's clear that this was a labour of love.

Although having said all that, I'm pretty sure the guy's a little nuts.

I didn't go through the whole article, no. I just skimmed after reading the basic summary. And I won't hold anything against anyone who does, or the editor, or viewers. That said, I will not even attempt to watch it, it sounds like something I would not enjoy at all and I was trying to convey how confused I was/am that the edit was even conceptualized, let alone executed. I see these sort of edits as a weird corner of the fanedit community and I've accepted already that I am just never going to understand them. My apologies if I offended you or anyone else with my personal opinion.

Be it genuine adoration or slowing down for a car crash, many horrible things have an audience.

Half of them you, no doubt.

My point exactly.

I watched a few minutes, I don't know why anyone would watch more than that.

Please. Let's do a little math here. Roughly 4 minute video. 44,000,000 x 4 min = 176,000,000 minutes / 60 = 2,933,333 hours / 24 = 122,222 days / 365 = 335 years.

Oh shit, I'm just old enough for that to work.

You're not factoring in the 100 computers you have running simultaneously, with each watching it on repeat.
 
I don't watch Friday on my PC, dummy.

Not at all. I was just pointing out that the interview answered most of your issues.

Yes. Mine too. Like it or not, there's an audience for this, even it it's made up of people like yourself (and me) who just watch a couple of minutes of it.
 
I've gotten to the Cs so far. I downloaded the edit and will watch it in full sometime.
 
I suppose phase 2 would be to edit Dark Side of the Moon in alphabetical order to overlay.
