Editing WoT into films

#WheelOfTime S2 fan edit is DONE! After a HUGE effort I finally finished it. 4h28m from a S2 length of 8h54m, it was a HELLUVA instructive exercise in restructuring plot and character arcs, scenes, dialogs and even individual line and word choices. Link in bio!

@pirrayah @WotTVSeries I literally did a cut like this two weeks ago when Ep 4 dropped. Download and watch, please enable subtitles:

@WotTVSeries I mean…literally me 10 days ago 😂:

I cut the Rhuidean sequence in chronological order. It works rather well as a way to see the story unfold front to back and follow Rand's ancestors through time.

It took me >1y to finish #WheelOfTime S2 fan edit. Most of it was a LONG hiatus where I was super uninspired. The story is way more convoluted than S1 and didn't reveal itself until I hacked huge pieces away
Actual effort was about 2 super-concentrated weeks locked down at the pc

Video tracks loaded📽️
5.1 audio extracted and loaded🔉
Subtitles (yay!) extracted and loaded📃
First cut made🎬
Thus begins the #WheelOfTime S2 fan edit 🎞️
LONG journey ahead 🛣️
The story will inevitably reveal itself in the edit once I start chipping away.

@HypeSept Followed! And I sent you some links and hashtags to get started. The fandom will find you 😊

[Wheel of Time Fan Edit (S2 film now released!)🇿🇦 @wotfanedit]

@HypeSept A lot of folks have moved over to BlueSky. I find the "feed" feature pretty cool, I can get all my WoT updates in one place even without following hundreds of accounts. It's a great way to discover new readers and viewers too.

@UnravelingWoT This will be AWESOME! Spoiler level off the charts of course if you're gonna include everyone connected. This is more like a web than a family tree if you take it all the way.

@thedustywheel @TheWheelOfTime Let the great unblurring begin!

[Wheel of Time Fan Edit (S2 film now released!)🇿🇦 @wotfanedit]

@thedustywheel I think a different ancestor. As per 1x08 cold open, LPD was the Tamyrlin Seat in this version of the story.

#WheelOfTime #TwitterOfTime one thing I picked up in the trailer that gets overlooked amongst all the images:
S3 is shot in WIDESCREEN! This is huge, WoT finally gets the epic cinematic aspect ratio it always needed.

[Wheel of Time Fan Edit (S2 film now released!)🇿🇦 @wotfanedit]

@dragonmount @PrimeVideo @TheWheelOfTime One word: WIDESCREEN. Maybe overlooked among everything else going on, but S3 is finally getting the cinematic aspect ratio the show always needed.

@JackBWuzHere I am now! Just followed you 😊

Here's a proof of concept for the S2 #WheelOfTime fan edit. Based on @robchristianson's awesomely detailed WoT map, courtesy of (significantly more) talented fellow editor WompRat for the aged parchment effect and animation.
Plan is to create fly-in map markers for each location.

[Wheel of Time Fan Edit (S2 film now released!)🇿🇦 @wotfanedit]

For the final cut still to do is to properly frame and speed-ramp each pan and zoom in the direction of travel from the previous location, and blend/fade the map transition smoothly into the next scene. Additional location titles TBD.

@MhariWarner Hol' up, one of those things is not like the others 😂😳

[Wheel of Time Fan Edit (S2 film now released!)🇿🇦 @wotfanedit]

@NoahexMachina 3 pieces of advice:
1. NEVER GOOGLE ANYTHING EVER. Don't even type in the search bar, auto complete will KILL you with end-of-series spoilers
2. Use Wheel of Time Companion app to track characters and arcs per chapter spoiler-free
3. https://t.co/blYXfabWjd interactive "live" map

@ParchedAielman I hope to have something podcast worthy for you guys soon... S2 fan edit is cooking with gas!
