awesome. i hadn’t heard of this. let’s hope it’s soon 
Maybe this is just a lack of knowledge about video and audio editing, but couldn’t you convert the rough cut to digital and then use some form of video / audio editing software to set each sound to its own channel and then filter channels out individually and leave what you can use? I don’t know a whole lot and that might be way off base (probably is since it hasn’t been done yet…)
Just trying to keep hope alive I guess…
Best part:
After the film and some casuals, went downstairs to get some drinks. On the way back up a random Asian guy was in the elevator. One floor up, Mike Watson gets in. Just then, the guy asks me “Did you see the movie? How was it?” Watson turns in place and proudly says “I was in it!”
He farted in the elevator right after that didn’t he?
One of the filmmaker’s, I believe Peter Kang, gave a speech before the screening. He said said they were still planning to release it, probably on iTunes. I don’t know that he said it’d be for free though (I’d gladly pay for it), and I don’t know how soon. He said the reason it was taking so long was because they lost much of the master footage in 9/11. Some of the footage in the cut we saw at Evo was appaently from VHS tapes made for “dailies”. Definitely the second half of the movie where they go to Japan has a drop in image quality. He said they were still in the process of gathering the original footage, which I don’t understand because I thought it was destroyed, unless there are backups scattered around. And yeah he mentioned making a “second version” (I believe were his words) with the newer players. Not sure if that meant updating the first movie or making a completely new film.
I’m glad I finally got to see the movie. It was hard to hear at times because of the crowd, so I’ll be waiting to watch it again in private. But you definitely want to see it with a crowd of your own kind. People were getting hype, cheering for Team USA like they were watching a live match, forgetting that the outcomes were decided 10 years ago.
