“Bruce Wayne is forced to confront his dual nature as Batman as a brilliant megalomaniac and a psychotic district attorney wreak havoc over Gotham.”
“A frame-accurate recreation of the original Super 8 cuts for Harryhausen’s ‘The Golden Voyage of Sinbad’, using a full-screen HD colour source taken from the Indicator release. Featuring multiple audio options, subtitles where relevant, and carefully applied enhancements to stop-motion animation for ‘Sinbad Battles the Monsters’ and ‘Sinbad Duels the Idol with Many Arms’. Black and white ‘purist’ versions with no adjustments to animation are available where relevant.”
“Dune: Kwisatz Haderach – Part One is the first of a two part project, and is an experimental cut that explores how much of the film can be cut without turning into a muddled, non-cohesive mess. Cutting twenty-two minutes of footage, I was able to create a shorter, hopefully still satisfying cut of Dune: Part One clocking in at two hours and thirteen minutes.”
“Japan faces a catastrophic threat when toxic pollution gives rise to Hedorah, a smog monster that feeds on industrial waste and grows exponentially. As Hedorah ravages the environment and threatens human existence, Godzilla emerges to confront this monstrous adversary. Amidst the chaos, humanity desperately seeks a way to halt Hedorah’s rampage before it’s too late, Leading to a climactic showdown between the King of the Monsters and this pollution-spawned terror at the base of Mt. Fuji.”
“Legend: The U.S. TV Cut is another personal passion project that has a special place in my heart. I have very fond memories associated with this film, and they have followed me into adulthood, compelling me to do this project. My interest in creating this project would be ignited when I came across a site dedicated to the film and saw various mentions of the TV Cut; the site even had a complete breakdown of the TV Cut written up! After giving a thorough readthrough of the breakdown, I had it in my mind that I was going to recreate this cut to the best of my ability.”
“I didn’t change much story-wise – just tried to trim the film up as much as possible. In the original, the first half of the movie flies by quickly and the second half dragged a bit. I’ve tried to fix that by eliminating 20 minutes – most from that second half. I also tried to cut some of the de-aging shots that did not work in the otherwise fun opening sequence. With fairly minor cuts this film goes from a good film to a pretty great one in my opinion!”
“My take on The Phantom Menace. It’s pretty conservative story wise, but very active with regards to pacing and tone. I tried to use the same principles for editing that The Phantom Editor used for ‘Attack of the Phantom’ (but not the original phantom edit) and that I later used for my Return of the Jedi edit. An emphasis has been made on improved pacing and tone, as well as seamlessness and wanting it to feel like it could have been the original film.”
