  • This was the original edit I made that gathered a positive reception and I felt I needed to share it. Netflix's Cowboy Bebop has a lot of problems from an action standpoint, so my goal was to make things flow naturally. To keep it in line more with the anime version.

    Hey everyone! I was away from this account for a while but wow, these two videos have just taken off! Thank you so much for the kind words and I'm happy you all enjoyed it. I'd like to answer a few things real quick:
    1. Some people have asked whether I am going to do this for the whole show or maybe just an episode. I have thought about it but that would require me going through the entire series over and over to see what would work. So I'll think about it 😌
    2. I am aware the editing is pretty frantic and "Taken" like, so rest assured that I am also not a fan of that style. However, without the original roll, I can't exactly extend moments or use additional takes, haha.
    3. I am not trying to say my work is better. I am not a professional editor, I'm just some self taught buffoon but I did want to see an alternate version. One that felt more in tune with the energy from the anime.
    Hope that explains a few things! 🥰

      Yeah, finishing up my run through the original anime and noticed that Faye was ENTIRELY different. She's actually got depth. Faye is good at conning people but has terrible luck herself. She's highly capable but portrays a very feminine character. Netflix? Geez man, she's a juvenile teen boy who spews dick and balls one-liners.

      Apparently he researched the Anime for the show and fell in love with it.
      So much so he started making complaints whenever he felt the production team was starying too far away from the source material (which must have been numerous and mostly falling on deaf ears).
      It kinda hurts to watch him, as you can tell he's trying to give it his all while at the same time knowing the people in charge are screwing things up.

      Really, they shouldn't have tried to force so many martial art scenes. Sure, Spike used it at points (this wasn't even Jeet Kune Doe) but they should have kept it gun play because Spike did that a lot more and honestly wouldn't have to make John Cho do so many martial arts that he clearly wasn't trained for.

    • @handsdowntoo7150
      @handsdowntoo7150 2 роки тому +1

      Yeah, it's like the creators were more focused on making each individual scene "look cool" instead of actually creating a cohesive and realistic fight. Maybe it would have worked if Faye had been knocked to the ground THEN pulled her knife out and attacked Spike's legs because they were the closest thing in range. But watching her randomly duck down and scoot across the ground for no reason just...makes no sense. Not only because she isn't aiming for Spikes core, but also because she's slowing herself down by dropping to her knees and scooting across the ground...and she's given her knees a nasty case of road-rash for no reason!

    I think I noticed too when seeing the show was just how bad the editing is. It is clear to me that they never had someone who was an editor that could do martial art scenes or action scenes. I'm guessing they hired an editor who thought it is easy? It is why I laughed with Iron Fist first season (putting aside the clear ignorance of terms for masters and other cultural elements) because RZA directed episode was the only one that felt like a martial art film in the first season and filmed properly with the fights. One of the best things with the animation is just how well edited the fighting is as well as framed and choreographed, especially with the music.

  • @Ultragian
    @Ultragian 2 роки тому +1

    I think you lose the personality of the original and the conflict between the two characters. Besides, it just becomes a generic action sequence with fewer inserts, the pacing is too fast and the cut-off point arrives too early. The comedy aspect they tried to create here disappears, and with it the interest in watching the scene. This is a completely different scene now, the set-up/build-up used in conjunction with the pacing is off. This comparison also doesn't work since you'd need to show us other sequences too. Focusing on the impacts and repeating movements for emphasis and ellipse is nice and all but it's something that should be brought out over the entire show, if you're doing that. The edit involves the director's vision in it. As a stand-alone show, the Cowboy Bebop live-action is not bad. People are whining too much. Why don't you try editing an entire episode to see how your vision would pan out? Btw, you kind of re-directed it, if that wasn't clear.
