Dragon Ball Evolution Fan Edit (The Legend of Son Goku)

Post by The Time Traveller » Sun Mar 01, 2009 12:41 pm

I'm sure you've heard of the Phantom Edit of Star Wars Episode 1, and it occured to me the other day that Dragon Ball Evolution could be edited down and made into something shorter and more enjoyable for Dragon Ball fans. Just like Jar Jar Binks and Stupid lines were edited out of the Phantom edit, I'll be taking out things that make up RAAAAAAAAAAGE.

Like High school, and...uh... Goku putting on hair gel.

I'll also be going over Bulma's hair through out the entire movie to make it blue, kinda like a joke...
Dumb lines will be taken out and if I like the soundtrack I'll keep it in, otherwise I'll be using the music from the anime.

Hopefully this time next year I'll be able to share with you Dragon Ball Evolution as satisfactory as possible. And if it's easy, I'll use the Japanese audio with altered dubtitles. :lol:

So look forward to "Dragon Ball Evolution: The Legend of Son Goku!"


I threw this logo together as a possibility.

So far I've started editing the trailer, took me a while but I managed to get Bulma's hair looking realistic and blue enough.

Sounds like a fun project but I can't help but to think you're jumping the gun a tad seeing as how the movie isn't even out yet. I would love to see the trailer though.

I'm not really jumping the gun, of all the knowledge we have of the film it's just too stupid to be left alone.

Here's a look at blue hair Bulma...

Ok, I did this with Image Ready, I swear when I'm doing the editing I'll use the right tone of green and blue... And the reason that tied looking part of her hair is left unedited is because I mistook it for a hairband...

Here's a very small, for some reason, look at blue hair Bulma...

Dammit Photobucket!!!
Looks more like green to me, but maybe it'll look blue at a bigger size. Looking nice though! :D

Those are really cool, I'm not sure how much effort is required to edit the video like that but major kudos. I'm actually a lot more excited for this movie to come out now just to see the results of your project.

I'll be getting my computer all to myself in about 3 months so there'll be more space for the edits and such, It's gonna be fun. I'll also be using Adobe After Effects to edit effects.

I could make this as cartoonish as possible, which means I could do cloudy explosions for the Capsule bike and even do KABOOMs and what not.

If y'all hated The Phamtom Menace you should get around to torrenting The Phantom Edit along with The Balance of the Force, both awesome edits of that piece of crap first prequel, in Balance of the Force, stupid alien dialogue was dubbed over with a new made up alien language and subtitles. Jar Jar is made into a sarcastic coward rather than an annoying coward. I can't do anything like this unless I use the English and Japanese tracks at the same time which would make no sense. No doubt the movie will come out on DVD with surround sound so it'll be easy to edit dialogue out, along with After Effects to take out mouth movements.


That test gif of Bulma took a long while to edit but the speed was messing up and my computer kept crashing... You'll see something much better later on.

Also, which looks like a better hair colour for Bulma? Slopped them together in photoshop...

Purple which was the most used in the Manga
Image
Bluey Green which is obviously from the first chapter and all of the anime.
Image
Or an insane mixture of both?

Blue-green looks like the best of the three to me, but I think you should also try some different shades of blue and purple. It was usually colored lighter then that in the anime and manga.

A little more blue on the bluish-green version, and it'd be close to perfect IMO.

Still planning out how to approach my fanedit, but I won't be changing Bulma's hair color. That's all yours. :lol:

Bah, I like all three options. Change it up throughout the film, making it a running visual gag!!

Why can't she have three heads?

I like the purple on the best, it makes it look more realistic, and also don't forget to get rid of "DBE? catchy name"

I personally like the teal better.

Anyways, is this what you'll be using for the riff session you mentioned to me?

I'm pretty sure it is a hairband, so it looks fine to me. :)

Purple looks best in my opinion.

I think she'd look better with blue or bluish purple hair. Like how she looks here.

Agreed.
[quote="Brakus"]For all the flack that FUNimation gets on this forum for their quote about DBZ, there's some modicum of truth to it: a 9-year-old is born every day. Or in some cases, "reborn". DBZ may be a kids' show, but it's been so close to so many hearts all over Japan, America, and quite possibly, even the world.[/quote]

This.



I think a better version of the blue (More like the anime blue) with purple streaks would be cool.
