Okay, before negative comments begin surfacing about this second sample of my editing project "The Lion King: Full Circle", there are several things I'd like to toss for consideration.
1. I'm still not totally happy with it, and it's a work in progress.
2. This thing is very fu**ing hard. By far the toughest scene in the entire thing.
Now, about some choices made. Yes, eventhough I didn't include Timon and Pumbaa's story intertwining with Simba's events before they meet, I had to include them in the Stampede scene. It's necessary thematically and for pacing reasons. After this, they don't "meet" again until they meet in the desert. Trust me, this isn't so weird when you see it with the whole movie, since it doesn't suddenly come out of nowhere, having followed Timon and Pumbaa's story parallel to Simba's.
About the changes. They're far more obvious here. First is the inclusion of Timon and Pumbaa after the Stampede starts. This is a bigger disruption, but I included that "water and shade" bit in that spot where, origianlly, the scene was 'disrupted' by Mufasa and Zazu, this way, the pacing isn't tossed out the window and it's a more proper intro.
Then, it's the very small shot of Pumbaa and Timon running in the midst of the wildebeests. This one isn't as noticable and was more or less well inserted (hopefully). And lastly, both Timon and Pumbaa flying off. I re-edit the audio here like I never had and eventhough the music changes are noticable to anyone who's familiar with the scene, the noices/etc, were re-edited by me. Go me. To keep the emotion of the scene, I didn't touch the most intense/emotional moments. Pumbaa/Timon don't return for a while to keep emotion untouched.
Again, I had to include them here, and, when you watch it in the movie itself, it works as a wider scoped story hopefully fans will enjoy. Again, trust me, it's less disrupting in context.
. . . so enjoy.
Sweet but i would add the waterfall scene in 1 1/2 just before Mufasa is killed.
