Book of Shadows: Blair Witch 2 – a steFANedit

Just finished watching this. Very well done overall. There are a couple edits that could have been smoothed out. For instance, at the store in the beginning you kept only two lines of dialogue but it goes by so quickly that you probably could have just cut the entire scene and it would have played the same.

The new structure was excellent. Kudos to you for taking out all the quick cut interrogation scenes spread throughout and the over-the-top gore footage added in.

All in all, a really well done first time edit. I look forward to more steFANedits.

I always kind of preferred BW2 to the first film, despite obvious flaws. Listening to the director’s commentary actually made me like it a little less though, as I lamented the version of the film we didn’t get.

Thankfully, we finally do have it in the form of steFAN’s edit. Maybe not exactly what the director would have released if given the chance, but as close as you can possibly get with the material released.

Job well done on this one. Apart from a…questionable audio transition near the beginning and spelling the director’s name wrong (twice) there was very little to complain about. I didn’t care for two song choices, but that’s just personal taste, and hardly the kind of thing to hold against the edit.

Special mention goes to the finale, which was reworked very nicely.
