Fan Fiction:

Fan Edits:

Discuss the art of fan editing or a specific fan edit. For fan edits of official releases / copyrighted materials, do not link to the content itself. This community is not for file sharing or linking to copyrighted material.

Ideas:

What's a piece of creative work (Book, Movie etc) that you think would be greatly improved by the removal of addition of something? This has to be something that a hobbyist can achieve with available tools, so no reshooting scenes or hiring actors :) But adding another chapter to a book is possible.

Judge Dredd (1995) - "Redux" (aka "Less Yapping" edition)

This film had wonderful sets and costumes, truly incredible. But the script and acting, they were not on same level. The goal of this edit is to make movie more enjoyable by cutting weakest parts.

Main changes:

  • There is one comic relief character who is very annoying. Around 80% of their dialogue is now removed. This is biggest change in edit.
  • The senior judges sometimes speak too long and sound silly. These parts are shortened.
  • Rico has some over-the-top moments. They are made a little less extreme.
  • The most cheesy dialogues are cut away.

Additional notes: Priority was to create enjoyable version without too much difficult work. Some edits are not perfectly smooth, but even imperfect cut is better than original material that was removed. It's a surprise how different small changes do to the film. Enjoy!

Movie Vision was a commercial format for silent one-minute film loops. What's the funniest movie to adapt for it? (sh.itjust.works)

Relevant Techmoan video. It's an 8mm print, ostensibly in color, in an endless loop cartridge. The usual player was just a viewfinder, light window, and crank:

One of several Star Wars adaptations.

The edit of Alien which inspired this stupid idea.

What movies would be even sillier than that, when diced down to a thousand frames with no audio?

If you were making a Fan Edit of Alien Resurrection (1997), what would you change? [Alien] [FE] (sh.itjust.works)

For me the biggest problem were the cheesy one-liners. It was like an 80s buddy movie rather than an Alien movie. But it's possible that those could be easily edited out.

The main offenders were Ron Pearlman's lines as well as the general running the place - he had some goofy expressions and outbursts. Also J.E Freeman as Dr. Wren had some campy moments.

But the visuals were great, I thought and the story had some good elements in it, such as the alien in captivity seemingly testing the scientist through the glass. The backstory of the relationship between the pirates and the military made sense.

What would you keep, what would you cut to make it far less cheesy and more dignified?

An immersive, 25 chapter work with very positive reviews. It continues from the end of Terminator 3.
