Smallville - The Movie....help wanted

Hi all,

My (screen)name is daveytod, and I am particularly interested in editing and DVD creation. I have completed several projects that are available on the net (please visit originaltrilogyDOTcom for details).

My current project is something that has stewed in my mind for quite some time. Editing each season (or major story arc) of Smallville into a coherent movie.

Now whilst Smallville is easily on of my favourite TV shows, I'm not what you'd call an uber-fan (more of a Star Wars geek m'self), which is why I'm asking for help.

I need people who know the show inside and out to help me script these movies. I have access to everything I need, DVDs, software, etc, and am currently in the process of going through season one episode by episode to see what I can use. But ideally I'd like to get some other people on board with this to offer fresh insight and ideas.

So if anyone on these boards has any ideas or opinions on this, then please, this is the place for them.

thanks for listening

Sounds cool, but how would you like to do it? What do you want for a story line? How do you want it to go?

Hi,

Okay, for the first season, obviously I need to include most of the first episode, and I'd also like to keep in the whole scarecrow storyline due to its iconic imagery. This means I also have to keep the villan of the episode, but wether I keep this in the order shown, or jig it about so the confrontation hapens towards the end of the film is up for debate.

I'd also like to keep in the storyline with the guy from the inquisitor.

Liek I said, I haven't got all the way through season one yet (I'm about halfway), but what I'm essentially looking for are recurring storylines, and 'major' plots i.e. Clark discovering new powers, anything to do with the ship, etc

Oh and how are you going to cast Tom Welling, Kristin Kreuk & the others in this movie of yours?

obviously you didnt read my post. I plan on making an movie by editing scenes from various episodes of the first season together

Sounds good, I would like to see your movie when you finish it... please.

that may be a while yet, but sure.

Doesn't matter, I can wait for it to come to completion.

well, feel free to chime in with ideas

hmm ok.. no lois yet..

well, it is only season one I'm working on at present, so that shouldnt be a problem

So it's kind of like the Phantom Edit then?

well, not really. I don't plan on chainging anything, or altering the storyline. This projects more about refining and condensing all 21 eps of season 1 into one 2 hour or so movie

slightly off topic, but could you let me know what software you use? i've always wanted to be able to do the kinds of things your talking about...

oh, I see, so you just want to make Season 1 into an hour movie?

pr1983 - I use Womble MPEG Video Wizard, a fantastic program. it's helped me create several projects...'Star Wars - The Sith Revealed', 'Star Wars Episode III - The Video Game - The Movie' (not the catchiest of titles), 'Star Wars Battlefront - Journal of the 501st' and '24 - The Missing Day'.

Google em for more info.

Kal875 - Thats exactly the plan, please feel free to chime in with ideas

I know what I'm about to say might not help you out much but just put in all the important stuff without anything involving the ship of meteor freaks......or is that all of season 1?lol

thats pretty much the plan, I really don't want too many 'villain of the week- characters in there

thx 👆

I think maybe allowing room for a few of them would be a decent idea. I mean, if you're going to do one movie for each season, then I think a good idea would be to include the leech, the freak hunter, and freak twins because all 3 come back to get Clark later on.
