Future Trunks Arc Edit

Post by MaskedRider » Thu Jun 01, 2017 5:42 pm

Howdy! Ever since seeing Ajay's Resurrection F Super Cut I was inspired to see if I can do the same with the Future Trunk's arc by removing scenes I thought were an eyesore to the experience. I decided to give my idea a go by combining a bit of the Future Trunks arc preview from episode 46 into episode 47 joining with episode 48. I just want to say and make it clear, THIS IS A MOCK UP AND NO WAY PROFESSIONAL (As evident of using TV footage instead of using Blu Ray footage). If I had more time I would show a better mock up but I have to leave for basic on Monday so I wanted to get this out here and see what people had to say about what I'm going for, tips, tricks, criticism when I come back - its all welcome :D . I also made one by combining episode 49 and 50 and even though it can be improved, cutting scenes like Bulma suddenly pulling out a sausage and Future Trunks enthusiastically chomping down on it made me happier, it just looked like the audience can infer Bulma gave Beerus his delicious condition when they see him and Whis in the background with food.

[spoiler]CHANGES
- Removed the beginning of episode 47 with the debris falling and replaced it with Trunks running from the preview of the arc from episode 46. I thought the idea of the first thing you see is a man running in an apocalyptic city would make someone more inclined to be interested to what is going on. It also looks nice.
-Instead of seeing the craters in the preview I replaced it with a shot of the sky because I thought it was a better aesthetic choice.
-Removed the part of the arc preview where Trunks rests in a building and he gets serious after a flash of lightning due to pacing issues and it just wouldn't look good sine he should be continuously running.
-Fade to black after Trunks is running from Black's unidentified figure to transition better into him jumping into him visiting Bulma
-Anything involving lettuce is cut. I don't want any of your damn vegetables.For real though, it works just as fine without it because Goku and Vegeta train on Beerus's planet anyway and seeing them hanging out eating food makes sense and the whole Piccolo and Krillin with ChiChi can not exist because they drop in like I'm sure they noticed Goku and Trunk's sparring; I'm sure they were like "Oh is that Trunks!" "HEY TRUNKS LONG TIME NO SEE!"
-Tried to make the transition from the scene where Trunks tells Mai about going back to the past and him drinking water less awkward due to the eye catch
-Cut Pilaf explaining math. GOOD RIDDANCE!
-Cut Goku going to Korin for a senzu bean. Thought the scene going from him to using instant transmission, to Black in the future, to back to him coming back and throwing the senzu beans showed enough passage of time, quick action was better.[/spoiler]

That is about it. Hope you enjoy :) like I said, this wasn't meant to be professional, just a quick little fun mock up of what direction I would like to go in. It came down to the whole thing being 27 minutes in length and that is from two episodes. I experimented a little and can fit episode 48 and 49 but I'm not sure to make the Future Trunks arc movie length or if short and episodic is better.

Making the arc movie-length is possible but not beneficial, you would have to cut out too many things. Though you can continue cutting things here and there to make it much faster. But please, keep interesting things like Trunks' image training (but definitely cut Pilaf gang, they are useless and annoying)

I should've been more clear, I meant making the arc into movie length parts or about half hour episodes. My first instinct was to cut the Pilaf Gang as much as I can :lol: , yesterday I was experimenting and I can actually remove their whole thing about being firefighters after Black shoots at the Time Machine. I love the Future Trunks arc and want to make it as enjoyable as I can, For example, I was thinking of either doing it myself or paying someone to be able to animate manga panels, colored of course (animate in the sense of https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fDc3FZZxY6w for example where they have little movement such as making the hair move and Goku waving his hand, don't know the name of that technique) when Trunks mentions receiving training from Supreme Kai to fight Babidi and Dabura, I was thinking of having a flashback effect and little animations of panels from chapter 16 of the manga play.
