those were early stages, the re edit is amatuer, but the score is amazing. I have progressed a great deal in both, and screen tests have evoked powerful reactions. Watching this without an atmospheric and provocative score is almost a chore now. The tinting, dramatic pans (many very advanced cinematography techniques were employed in the film) and overlays I have been using can be hit and miss, but overall this will please underground film types, cult film followers, and all patrons of theater.
I was only into the very beginning of the film.
My own reactions to the film are impossible to ignore, try as I might to remain unbiased! I am delving much deeper into these characters as I watch and re-watch every frame.
Much of what I am attempting is very challenging even to an experienced editor. The film uses dissolves very liberally and you need split frame timing to add the effects and time tinting transitions. I do not have the resources to apply a dissolving gradient to those transitions, and I'm self taught anyway.
But the ideas I am providing in terms of editorial content are original and lavish much needed attention on this neglected film, which is by far the most perfect screen adaptation I have encountered in the whole of cinema.
Rest assured, if you get a chance to see this before I get a "cease and desist" letter (if it even gets that far) I will be very pleased to see if your opinion has changed.
Thank you for the input.
