Paranoia (A Truman Show Fanedit)

I could not recall what wasn't there, beyond the segment on the Creator and the segment which recaps the history of The Truman Show, but I don't think that accounts for the missing 30 min.

The narrative isn't changed at all, so it's essentially still the same story.

The visual change with the Hitchcock themes is great, and the audio is appropriate for invoking Hitchcock; the new, Hitchcock-style B&W opening is perfectly executed, and there were no noticeable problems in the edits, EXCEPT for the moment when Truman is driving his wife for a few loops on the roundabout, there's a moment where he is shown speaking but the music is playing over that whole moment, so it's a very apparent and odd situation where the protagonist is speaking to a side character, but the music has shut that out. A little bit of a problem. Otherwise, I like this presentation, it's a great idea and it works, and nothing is left unexplained or plot-holed, the shortening by 30 min. is nice.

Anyone interested in fanedits at all should definitely see this, a terrific idea well executed, and creators can take inspiration as to what boundaries they can stretch their editing concepts.

This was an amazing, transformative fanedit that takes the original source material and creates an entirely new aesthetic and feel to the film. I would have LOVED to have seen this without ever having seen the original, because THIS is how I would have loved to experience the original film.

Perfectly edited, the soundtrack was fabulous, and the tension was real. Impossible to tell this was a fanedit if you had not watched the original.

What a fantastic edit! Always loved The Truman Show, so it was really cool to see it done in this style. The score, visual editing and just overall Lynchian/Hitchcockian aesthetic was amazing to see!

First, thank you for doing this. I love the Truman Show, I watch it quite often. This edit, somehow, surpasses the original in my opinion, I do enjoy a lot of fan edits, rarely does one replace the source for me when I want to sit down and watch a movie. A lot of edits change the narrative, modify the flow, they're different enough to sit on their own alongside the source material, this edit here blows the source material away. My brother is the one who introduced me to the Truman Show, and after I watched it the first time I had to show it to him, we watched it together and we both agree this edit is superior.

Thank you for making this.

Extremely, extremely impressive. The amount of work that must've gone into this is insane - nothing is left untouched. This is what a true fanedit is, a completely transformative work of art. The video editing, the change in narrative & tone, the audio editing & rescoring, are all really well done. A very original concept, with a lot of imaginative changes. The tone has been completely changed to match that of Hitchcock's films. It's also paced very well. I won't go into specifics because this deserves a watch by anyone who's interested in fanediting and the potential it has.

Paul is very much alive, and I hope he gives us a couple more like this and the Silent Film Version of Dracula.
