Project is heading for completion. Just want to show you finished product without the VFX changes and upscaling. ETA August with VFX and upscaling.

Btw, If you are in Czech Republic and If you would like to see the final project in theater send me PM.

MASTER KENT - SCENE COMPARISON

!!!UPSCALING IS YET TO COME!!!

Reasons behind the change:
- Clark is too loud and noticable. As you can see Alfred doesn't notice him even though Clark is noisy
- the CGI landing is made poorly

obstacles - color grading and audio mix/edit; since the original audio was mixed differently I had to tweak it manually

Damn. I didn't check this version before upload. This one isn't 100% finished. As you can hear it in scene where Wonder Woman stares at Steppenwolf. I don't have time to upload the right one now ... gonna do it later.

UPDATED with better version with less cuts.

Hi again,

I thought that you've seen the Tunnel Scene many times so instead of the final sound corrected version of it I will show you something else.

When I was watching the original cut I thought that Clark doesn't have fuller closure of his arc. Since we won't get another SnyderVerse movie I think it is better to visually admit Clark's curve arc. Yes, it was addressed via voiceover but not a full montage. By the way ... If I can recall I don't think there was any full blown montage in Snyder's version of the movie hence the opinion that they just released rough cut. And by watching original scene I've had an intuitive feeling that it was originally meant as a place for a montage sequence.
I am not sure If I am going to put it into a final version of my cut but I thought that you should know I was working on some changes as well. 

There are some pros and cons with it and I need to test it on my friends If it fits within the narrative of a 3 hour movie but I thought I could give it a chance. Feel free to give a feedback.

So last update before VFX.

By the way I have uploaded a better version of Clark's Arc Closure. Check it out If you didn't.

Well ... right now I am testing the cut. You know the movie itself is really problematic with framing. First I had to find the right pan&scan process for each of the frame. Some were easy to do ... some were pain in the a**. When I was getting deeper and deeper with the framing I have found some edit errors in the original movie such as reversed shots, ADRs without moving mouth or optical aberrations and artifacts. I already told you that.
After that I had to intuitively mark shots that are framed strangely because of that uncanny format of the original movie. I had to zoomed some of the shots manually and find the right spot to frame them the right way - conventionally. (Actually a LOT of the shots in Snyder Cut has to be zoomed but we can leave some of them in their original form and say: "It's Stylistically Designed To Be That Way." : )
That is why I need to upscale it. Some of the shots are in a bad quality - watchable - but I could do better.

What I'm going to show you now is the FINAL Tunnel Battle Scene.
One shot and one audio track I've used are from the 2017 cut but it was originally Snyder's work; ) I have just repurposed them because they fit in my version.

Bruce is now addressing Nightcrawler; ) 

This version is mostly redone for a better pacing but I will write some notes for the entire movie after this whole process is done.

It is just in 540p in lower quality so sorry for that.
Just to remind you VFX will be done later - Steppenwolf eyes, Green Lantern, a little bit more of grain for some shots (particularly few seconds with Wonder Woman in a video below)

If you are asking why it is taking so long I would like to remind you that I am working on it in my spare time and to be honest I got quite fed up of how much work I have to do so I had a pause for a few months and also as I mentioned before we had a family tragedy.
But I am going to finish it.

So what will be next? Testing .. testing .. testing .. and testing. After that I am going to hire a VFX artist to make some changes which I can't do by myself. ETA? My guess is August.

Right now movie is 187 minutes long without credits and post-credits scene.

Take care and see you next time.

Hi folks,
please read the description.

This is NOT the final product, but only a reminder that the VFX is running and the “whole” thing is doable.

ETA: who knows: )

WORK IN PROGRESS

Hi folks,

first I want to thank user WXM for polishing this project and mainly for his advice and suggestions. Thank you: )

I was kind of thinking and I realized that I was actually presenting this project more in text. I've shown you one of the major changes - the exposition of Steppenwolf (all those videos are deleted on purpose) - but I think it's time to show you some other changes, or in other words to use the comparison of the cuts to outline, by analogy, the major differences in narrative between Batman v Superman, Zack Snyder's Justice League and The Editor's Cut.

I will use character of Alfred Pennyworth played by Jeremy Irons for better comprehension of this project and its idea behind it.

In Batman v Superman Alfred is depicted as an ironic voice of wisdom ... a true mentor ...

... a true mirror to Bruce.

This is the continuation of the character in Zack Snyder's Justice League ...

And this is the final scene from the Editor's Cut ...

Finishing line just around the corner.


This thing was edited just for fun, because it does not suite Bruces character in the context of the movie (probably why it was cut originally), but I thought that you would like to know one of the alternative takes that Snyder had.
fyi, audio mixing, color grading and editing (extensions) needs more work, just a test footage for fun

Accept my apologies for the following generic query: any updates?

Sorry for the delay. I've had a lot in my own job, so I was pushing some things including this project. As I said, VFX is running, but I have only one VFX artist and he's got another projects as well.

Since the guy is working on masking, color grading etc. I've been polishing the sound and fixing some issues. Finalized project will be announced by the announcement trailer which is in the works.

This is a labor of love and it has to be "perfect".

Thanks for understanding.

P.S.: I hope that Warner Bros. won't sue me.
