Remixing Existing Works

Do you guys ever remix existing works?

One time I edited pulp fiction to be in chronological order. A learning exercise to understand the editing style.

Another time I remixed a few really cool shots from david attenborough footage and added precisely the right sound track to create a funny video about birds.

Most recently I just finished editing the two hobbit films, they each now clock in at just under two hours.

There is no troll turning to stone scene. Less goblin king, a faster escape. No tree climbing, no eagles, no manbeardude. The barrel scene doesn't have any of the cartoon CGI. All the river town drama is gone. Smog doesn't have any stupid lines now, he talks just enough instead of too much.

The fights that are left look really cool and aren't bogged down by the more boring choreography.

I actually want to see the third movie now!
