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.
