Topic: Shawshank edit

I'm watching The Shawshank Redemption, and I got a crazy idea.

Edit it so that Red's parole is APPROVED at the opening scene, then edit him out if the entire movie. Call it, The Hawshank Damnation: Hopeless Edition.
I'm up to the point where Brooks gets released & cutting out Red & his voice overs would be easy.

Sadly, I have no video editing software, nor do I know how to use it.

Re: Shawshank edit

Movie about a guy wrongfully imprisoned who gets beaten, raped, becomes a librarian, cooks some books and does some taxes, gets thrown in solitary confinement and ends with a scene where he walks back to his cell, depressed and about to hang himself.

You should cut Red back in at the end, happily walking on a beach, just to twist the knife a little more.

I'd just go with "The Shawshank Damnation". if you're on a windows PC try Lightworks (and then tell me if you like it cause I've never tried it). It's open source and thus free. http://www.lightworksbeta.com/

Re: Shawshank edit

Thanks, great idea. If my meager laptop can run it I might just try it...(I REALLY need to get a new, powerful computer...)
