A NEW AND IMPROVED SS REVISITED

A new version, with improved color correction, pace and atmosphere.

This is the version I truly intended.

Soon to be released!

Brilliant! Feel free to shoot me a PM as soon as it is uploaded! I wonder how it differs from V1... :D
 
SS REVISITED is finalized and ready for release.

This is the ultimate Sorcerer’s Stone edit for those who seek continuity, suspense and pace. This should fit like a glove with the rest of the franchise - as the beginning chapter.

Chamber of Secrets Revisited (V2/Finalized) is also finished, and will release very soon.

You've finished a V2 of CoS as well? What does that include?

Both these versions have a tighter pace, flow better - less stand-out musical alterations - and include some new alterations that I’d rather people experience than be told. xD

CoS V2 is not uploaded yet, only SS.

@"Motleys Fanedits" do not post requesting links or discussing PMs about links.  Just send the PM.
 
Ooooooo! An updated version? I seem to remember watching your SS edit way back in the day and really liking it! (possibly even an old fanedit.org account XD) Not sure I watched anything past that and had an itch to marathon Harry Potter again whilst off work...  :blush:

I tried to PM you Andreas regarding this, but it says you have reached your PM Quota Limit  :exclamation:
 
[UPDATE]

The Sorcerers Stone - as well as Chamber of Secrets (and very soon Half-Blood Prince) has received its V4 edition, which has alterations - but the most crucial part is; I have been using the 4K Sources of the films. In other words, Chamber of Secrets looks - AMAZING! Happy holidays, and enjoy the Revisited series like never before! :)
 
This is The bestest Harry Potter edits that I have ever watched!

Adreas sure made some quite good improvements in the whole franchise with constant changes on the way!

Definetly recomennding to anyone to watch any of his projects on PotterWorld!
 
So, a major update:

Sorcerer's Stone and all up to Deathly Hallows (and yes, Deathly Hallows will finally be finished) is getting new treatments. There are major reasons as to why, some of which are:

- The Full Screen versions are superior, and now that they are upscaled and beautiful, this will be my go-to source for editing purposes. Sorcerer's Stone and Chamber of Secrets look so different in many regards due to the color grading, pacing and the aspect ratio. I've previously only been able to alter the grading and the pacing (although not completely hit the nail on the head there (in my perfectionistic, retrospective look back). Finally, I can complete the look I've always wanted now that I have more tools at my disposal - a look that fits the continuity of the following films, and their more digital and "fuller" look. The Color Grading will also grow organically darker, for each film. Sorcerer's Stone will look very resemblent of an in-between of PoA and GoF, although with slightly more color.
- I started this edit in 2012, when I had about four years of editing experience. Now that I've grown a lot more attuned to the intricacies of editing, and especially with sound and photo manipulation, I think I am crafting a very, very good Sorcerer's Stone (and it's following counterparts).
- I have a son, which has made me appreciate the first two films even more than what I originally did.

Also, I want to mention that a lot of the Original Score for Sorcerer's Stone is coming back. I want the film to have it's own identity, and the music of Harry Potter literally came to be from this one film. I will have to honor that - fully, so therefore, many of the musical alterations from previous Revisited Edits are now heavily trimmed and mostly gone.

There are of course certain musical alterations still - to build a continuity with the upcoming CoS and PoA John Williams score, but these are mostly far and few between and serve - imo - a very important purpose, be it tension, suspense or simply just to bridge one scene well with another, but befitting to the tone and pace of the scene.

Also, the biggest changes from the upcoming Sorcerer's Stone Revisited Revisited (lol) - is the pacing. You will notice that the overly long close-up shots are heavily trimmed. Often in Columbus's children movies, like Home Alone and Harry Potter 1 & 2, him and his editor(s) seem to be very ackonwledging of the fact that children's minds work a little bit slower than teenagers and adults, and therefore I've noticed that he often takes his time on the lingering of shots - especially be it reaction shots, general close-ups and very often when a character is explaining something he will linger on a shot to enforce the message to the point it can be almost exhausting for a more adult audience.

Therefore, if I do my job well, you will feel that this is the Sorcerer's Stone for children and teenagers and adults alike (with still the more mature tone and color grading), but the structure will be very resemblent of the even more mature entries to the franchise like PoA and onwards. This is a very fast-paced Sorcerer's Stone.

Trust me, you have no idea how many minutes are shred of simply by removing one or two second's from a close-up shot that goes on for eternity.

Anywho, enough explaining and more editing!

Sorcerer's Stone Revisited (V3) will release in 1080p 10GB before 24th of November, in fullscreen!

AND: The (soon what will be) older versions will still be available through a seperate folder, for those who really, really enjoyed (or prefer) the original Revisited entries. Thank you. <3

Oh, and the overly dark opening is unfortunately gone. It's a tad to sinister, and might prevent families from showing the film to their kids. It now starts with a new, custom WB intro, then Voldemort walking up to the Potter House, and then Harry awakening under the stairs.
