Would it make a difference if I *knew* what Weitz was planning?

Okay, you got me - that was just me trying to manipulate you into leaving out any Will!

I'll prob do similar to what I did for the ending video and upload it for direct download here. In theory this will be enough for you guys to make your own copy of the reordered film...

I see. That works... especially if you'd be so kind as to upload versions in the standard DVD dimensions and bitrate; I can edit and substitute clips just fine, but am not so good with resizing and such.

Hey all - I've recently been touching up http://www.northern-lights-fanedit.com and I'm making part of my daily routine so each day there's a little bit of info going up or an improvment. Please can you look and see what you think - especially try out the media section and see if you can get to the picture section etc.

Also... I got two brand new shots today. One that shows incomplete vfx but is very very useful. Another is of a much talked about but unseen scene.

I'm going to put an image of one of these two clips up - the first person who replies gets to choose. So first person to reply,
A: Scene 1 - a useful scene
B: Scene 2 - a beautiful scene

Both!

I've been meaning to get to the library, and get my hands on an audio recording of the Milton quote... would love to put that to some appropriately earthy, volcano-y black and white footage...

When I said beautiful, I meant touching... lol

Anyway as you asked, you can have both:

First shot - used in my edit, even though the CGI is not complete. Lyra being found by the bears after falling from the balloon. It's the best version of this shot I have, as it actually shows more of the bears heading towards Lyra etc. This is the result of the shot though...

The second very short clip is of a scene that we've heard about, but through all my searching I've never seen any video of (or really any confirmed images...). One of Philip Pullmans favourite scenes. A shot from Farder Coram and Lyra discussing his past, the relationship with serafina. We see in this emotional sequence Pan comforts his daemon...
