THE DEER HUNTER: SKINNED
This is my first fan-edit, it's all done, the ISO is ready to go. All I need is to upload it and get some cover art (if someone could help there I'd really appreciate it).
Some info:
Of all the fan-edits that seem to be repeatedly done for different franchises, I couldn't think of a film that I wanted to do that someone else hadn't done already. That was when I remembered The Deer Hunter. Everybody loves it, but I couldn't help but think that it was way, way too long, with so much in it that really slows the movie down and shifts your attention from the main focus. With that in mind, I present The Deer Hunter: Skinned - a cut down, slimmer version of a (supposed) classic.
Roughly 45 minutes have been cut. Despite this being my first fan-edit, this is not a shoddily edited package cutting all the bits I think are "boring". Having studied film at university, I like to think that I know what I'm doing in this regard. To this end, I have included an audio commentary which should give a satisfactory explanation of all of my edits. If anybody disagrees with my edit - and I'm sure that many will - feedback/discussion will be very much appreciated.
PAL Video, English w/ English Audio Commentary
Original Length: 2hrs 56mins 18secs
New Length: 2hrs 9mins 39secs
Utils used: Womble MPEG Video Wizard DVD, Adobe Audition 1.5, DVDAuthor.
Any more info needed before I upload? My upload speed isn't good, so uploading 4.2GB will take, like, a day or more... Bittorrent would be easiest, Rapidshare would take longer, and I'm not a premium member, so that might be a problem, I don't know.
Thanks for reading!
EDIT: Here's the Rapidshare links. I'll just put them in this post for now then think about what else to do with it (other forums on the site etc).

EDIT 2: It seems that there may be some frustrating technical problems with the finished DVD - frustrating for me, probably not for you guys - where the edits may be off by a frame or two. When the edits are a bit tight, that causes bits of audio to jump, and the most notable problem is at around 1hr 26, when there's a frame or two of black between the point when the guys leave the bar area, then get a drink in the back room. That was not my fault, it looked fine in the edit, but obviously I should've given the authored DVD a second look as I would've noticed that. It's not a big deal and shouldn't affect your enjoyment of the film in any way. It just bothers me.
