Hello R/movies! For the past 5 years I have been working on digitizing the Apocalypse Now Workprint and editing in parts from the Theatrical and Redux editions in where the missing scenes are to create a more, heavy-handed, anti-war film that creates ambiguity about what one has seen and how it changes a person and changes their view on the world. My friend, lets call him Jeffery, along with his father and I put this all together. Jeffery’s father was a film tech on the set in the Philippines and he and his boss somehow copied the 35mm workprint onto 16mm reels and brought them back stateside. The film he copied was not complete and thus there are Scene Missing cards and parts of the original film that are missing such as the final shot and the overdubs and narration. Jeffery, his father and I got to this rough 330-minute cut. Last spring Jeffery and his father were killed in a car crash on their way back from visiting family in Oregon. I was mainly the organizer and kept everyone on schedule while Jeffery and his father were skilled in audio and video mixing and editing. This is more a plea for help than a completed project. It is so close yet so far away. At least 50 minutes need to be edited in with sound mixing and an intermission roughly around the Do-Lung Bridge section. This might seem like a long shot but is there anyone who can help me finish this mammoth? All the missing scenes and missing parts are bolded.
Tl;dr: Been working on combining Apocalypse Now Workpirnt with sections and audio from the theatrical and redux editions. Got to 330 minutes before death of partners in car crash. Needs roughly 50 more minutes not including intermission. Need help badly to finish!!!
Notes are as follows
Edited: Here is a folder of photos of the map Coppola and his production team worked off of during the filming in the Philippines. http://imgur.com/a/wsZWp

Out of curiosity, how does the quality of the workprint you have compare to the one that's been circulating on the internet for god-knows-how-long? That one is old bootleg-VHS quality.

It is very very similar. It is a rough quality due to the fact that the film was not kept under the best conditions in the Philippines so the film is a bit foggy in some spots. We did the best we could to clear it up but it looks like a bootleg vhs so it is no where near high quality!
