My Best Friend's Birthday (Daja Edit) Part IV

It's Mickey's Birthday and his girlfriend just left him, so that's when his friend Clarence shows him a birthday he'll never forget.

Now, why did I mess with a Tarantino?
Well, I "messed" because I think the film had a lot of potetion if it would get a good edit. With good editting at the right places, black/white and light(er) images instead of those dark green images and with music at the right place I think this film is much more entertaining and interesting to watch. I think (and offcourse you've got the right to disagree) that the time and effort I putted in this film made a world of difference, and I hope you'll appreciate this.

Cheers,
Dennis Daja

Dennis you are way too presumptuous to give your self an editing credit on a movie that you didn't actually edit. In fact you're not just overly presumptuous you're fraudulent. It's nice that you added some music to the piece, some of it is a little too loud in some areas but overall it's nice. Regardless of that this movie was shot on film, it was edited by cutting and splicing film stock together and if you've ever in your life touched a single foot of 16mm film you'd know that.

Cscawley, you should realise that "edit" is a huge word. Offcourse I wasn't the maineditor, it was Tarantino, but all the stuff I added without a doubt count as an edit(and it is more than just some quality improvements, titlescreens and music). Check IMDb for it, or simply any encyclopedia. Besides if you would ever have been involved in making a film (amature or proffesional) you wouldn't make this narrowminded remark about editting.

Very Cool, kind of reminds me of Clerks...?

The audio needs to be way lower and perhaps instrumental but otherwise nice.

Thx for the upload =)

[DennisDaja]

The instrumental idea is a good one. But since I wanted to keep this in Tarantino-style I choose to keep using full songs, since Tarantino does the same in his other films.

The thing about the music I've been reading is also partially true. It is load, yes, but never to load to here the dialogue. Viewers should understand that the original audiotrack contained a lot of noice, by putting music under it we don't have the annoying hiss but still can hear the dialogue.

Well I have my connections in the film world you know.

Sorry, but I can't get into details about the source I got this from.

Anyway I got this illegal, and am quite happy that I've seen/ editted/ own it. I understand Quentin (hope he'll allow to call me like that) doesn't like to get this in public, but first of all it isn't really bad, second it is a great insight into the beginning of a brilliant film maker, wich is esspecially interesting for beginning directors like me.

[DennisDaja]

Hehe, well I wouldn't call it disturbing. But yeah for the regular Tarantino fans it's strange to see him kiss. Esspecially since he's not the real macho kinda guy, but more the film "nerd" (I'd never call him a nerd), he's just a bit like I amin a certain way.

man, you shouldn't edit other people's movies

It's interesting, you can tell it's made by Tarantino, but his next film is such a huge leap- you can see what his interests are- Tarantino's character and some of the dialogue reminds you of what he makes in the future.
