Hi everyone, this is my first time posting here. I've been working on a fanedit of the Ghost in the Shell movie adaptation that came out last year, starring Scarlett Johanson.
The main objectives or the fanedit are the following:
- Eliminate those lines that are too on the nose
- Eliminate all the references to the name Mira: Now the protagonist is simply known as the Major
- Eliminate all the instances of the catchphrase "I give my consent"
- Eliminate the character of Motoko's mother. In doing so I think I restored the original order in which some scenes were meant to appear-
- Rearrange the first scenes of the movie so that they follow the order in which they appeared in the animated movie made in the 90's. Also, the Birth of a Cyborg theme has been used in the credits scene.
In addition to all of this some small scenes were flat out cut as I felt they were redundant, some lines of dialogue have been moved from one place to the other and some other minor fixes were implemented. A flashback sequence has been created in the middle of the film which uses scenes that originally appeared at the very beginning.
Now the movie is 92 minute long while the theatrical cut is 106 minutes, hence the name of this fanedit.
The fanedit is actualy ready, I've rendered it to a mp4 file container using AVC and AAC as codecs. The file is roughly 16 GB. I'd like to submit it for approval to the Accademy but I wouldn't mind some feedbacks. Also I was wondering whether someone could give me a suggestion about which format I should render the movie as (I own Sony Vegas Pro 16).
