RUNNING TIME:
I recently watched Baz Luhrmann's long-awaited epic film about Elvis Presley.
The film featured unreleased footage from *That's the Way It Is* and *Elvis on Tour*.
While the documentary jumps between these two productions and incorporates various mixed sounds I'm not particularly fond of, they weren't distracting.
After seeing it in the theater, I had the idea to create an extended version that would better organize the material.
I retrieved one of my external drives filled with Elvis material from the closet.
My plan is to edit a musical chronicle that spans the 1950s to the 1970s.
This project will focus on Luhrmann's epic film but will also include additional content from *That's the Way It Is*, *Elvis on Tour*, and various TV specials.
I’ll be incorporating material from other documentaries as well.
All the footage will be upscaled to 4K using Topaz, with the audio enhanced to 7.1 surround sound.
It will be a musical chronicle celebrating the life of this legendary performer.
Original Title: THE STRANGERS - CHAPTER 1, 2, and 3.
RUNNING TIME:
This edit is going to be a 3-in-1 compilation.
As expected, there were already some comedians on Reddit who had quickly spliced the three films together.
There was even one who had put the films together by simply cutting out the credits.
I think I’m going to spend a little more time on it, because these kinds of “editors” are taking the easy way out.
As usual, the films will be turned upside down, and with a few exceptions, we’ll stick with the music by Justin Caine Burnett.
