Supreme looking cover, and I really like how you did your titles. I'm curious about this one, never saw much of Matt's pre-Who work outside of probably Party Animals. Send me the links when you're good and ready

Wonderful cover art.

Cut list sounds very bold. I definitely want to check this out! :)
 
Edit finished, submitted and uploaded :).
 
Congratulations on finishing:)

Might settle down and watch this over a Saturday, one might say it'll be "LONDON WEEKEND TELEVISION":p
 
Thanks for the review Zarius. I've been looking forward to some feedback on it, I knew this edit would probably be an obscure one and just for the Matt Smith fans (Still a couple of people seem to have liked it :)).

I'm not too familiar with Matt Smith's early work outside of "Party Animals", but TM2YC has provided me with a neat insight into his pre-Doctor Who days with this smooth edit of a tv mini-series he did called "Moses Jones". I often like watching edits of things I've never seen, it's the measuring stick of any good edit if you can enjoy something fresh and be completly absorbed in the experiance. The edit also boasts some impressive custom titles, and the story suits itself well to a feature trim. Crime dramas, unless it's name begins with Sherlock, are not usually my bag, but the story is actually very engaging and has some unique twists that we learn with the characters as they work the case, following their journey keeps the pair's unique methods and journey key to the story and we learn and enjoy time spent in their company. I may have to check the original mini-series out now and start comparing, but for a first-time view it stood out.

Glad you liked the new ending and new title sequence, as I sweated on that more than the rest of the edit combined :-D. I'm also very pleased that the story held together well without the other hour of footage. Do check out the original... there are some great subplots centering around Joe, Dolly and Mathius and more of Solomon and Joy's backstory ("The story that happened back-a-bit").

I checked the change list as soon as I finished (I sort of looked at them while this was in-the-works too, but didnt know how many things would carry over into the finished product), most impressive how you restructured the ending.
