will there be a DVD?
 
sorry no. i'm just not a big fan of dvd's. :|
 
at least you have your concept.
Will there be a trailer again?
 
yes, I heard rumors... maybe the same guy as before will create one... I heard he is almost finished downloading...
 
:-) i heard a rumor that that guy is notorious for awesome things like that.
 
I heard he likes singing has well... not sure how good thou...
 
i don't think i'm going to do a trailer this time. seems kind of pointless.

i heard that rumor too, ...more of a legend, actually. The story tells of whispers of material girls in the crisp European air.

Additional Comment:
Keeping in mind that Pearl Harbor is a fictional story based on a true event, I wanted to keep the essence of the main character arcs intact. This re-edit of Pearl Harbor simply minimizes all the minor characters and distracting sub-plots. What's left is the principle storyline of two best friends, the woman they both love, and how their lives are affected by the onset of WWII. With a new runtime of just under 2 hours, the movie feels more focused and poignant.
Time needed for the edition:
4 days

I am uploading the DVD of this NOW to RS.
 
...so is the dvd of this sourced from the AVI?

also, how would you compare this to ADM's strength and honor edit.


thanks
 
the DVD is sourced from a hq quicktime mov.
I cannot compare it, because I only took a glimpse. My impression is that this here is about as good as ADMs fanedit. The b/w fits really well and the concept and ideas seem to be thought through and well executed.
