You shouldn't have said that.
Yes, much is wrong with T3, but it's not the train wreck people make it out to be. (And neither is T4 -- at all.) Okay, I'm a big fan of that whole franchise; and I know 3 and 4 are not popular... (And I do hate the crane truck scene!) But saying that you can remodel
anything and call it "almost better than T2" makes me, regretfully, doubt your Judgement.
It's not my favourite movie -- it's some ways below Aliens, The Abyss, and Interstellar -- but unless your last name is, say, Villeneuve, Nolan or
God Pre-Avatar-Cam, you can't say such things.
i was debating using the deepfake scenes with data,
That, I'd have liked to see. That's the kind of thing that would make me see the "worth" of a fan edit --
added material. (But that's very personal and subjective.)
silly fanservice scenes
Meh... Oh, well; yes, for a
large part...
but decided to get rid of data at all.
... and now you lost me. the way they actually gave closure to the character in the last ep, in a way Nemesis never could for me, I found to be -- after I got used to it --
quite elegant. (Now, what they did to Picard afterward... But we're about Data, here.) Actually, it was one of the redeeming parts of PIC. Seeing
that end up on your cutting floor... nope.
And you can't have that, and not the whole setup for it, of course.
And I also loved the references to Lal; there should've been more in TNG (or even in Generations, post-chip; finally realising what he'd lost, instead of / in addition to remembering that old joke).
But you can't please everyone. And actually doing such a fan project (i.e., big
and as a hobby) deserves praise to begin with.
Technical question. I've never tried anything remotely like this. (Well, not if you don't count amateur music editing to repair or improve albums and songs. Which gives me certain ideas of the difficulties -- but which I certainly don't count as in the same ball-park.) How are you able to work around sound -- e.g., music -- running into the next scene if you want to cut that? I assume you edit the video and audio tracks independently, but still...? Are you able to somehow separate the music from the source audio/sound FX? And then re-paste the isolated music?
Kudos.
