Synopsis:
The Hill Valley Chronicles takes the enormously popular Back To The Future Trilogy and adapts it to a 'Quantum Leap' style 30 minute teatime TV show comprising of ten episodes. This new adaptation puts a fresh spin on the trilogy by reshaping the narrative so the parallel events of November 12 1955 in the trilogy collide with each other in action packed fashion.
The Hill Valley Chronicles takes the enormously popular Back To The Future Trilogy and adapts it to a 'Quantum Leap' style 30 minute teatime TV show comprising of ten episodes. This new adaptation puts a fresh spin on the trilogy by reshaping the narrative so the parallel events of November 12 1955 in the trilogy collide with each other in action packed fashion.
Intentions:
The primary purpose of the edit was to manipulate the events of BTTF1 to allow the 1955 scenes in BTTF1 to run chronologically parallel to the 1955 scenes in BTTF2, we see how November 12 1955 played out the second time around with two Martys and two Doc Browns inhabiting Hill Valley. I also thought the movies fit the ‘teatime sci-fi tvshow’ format well so a lot of work went into creating the previously, intro titles, end titles and ‘next time’ teaser for each episode ending on a cliff hanger where possible.

Change List:
- Everything is cut before Marty first meets with Jennifer from BTTF1 - All 1955 Scenes from BTTF1 play out intercut with the chronological counterpart in BTTF2 in episodes 4-7 - There are some trims and minor cuts to the 1955 scenes from BTTF1 and BTTF2 to help the intercutting of both movies during the Enchantment Under The Sea Dance, BTTF1's Clocktower finale and Biff and Marty's Almanac chase in BTTF2. - Minor trims elsewhere to support the new TV format. - New TV titles for each episode. - 'Previously' and 'Next Time' teaser created for each episode. - Episode 10 extended final credit sequence added.

Additional Notes:
Essentially this is a re-ordering of events and scenes rather than any drastic cuts to any of the movies. The edit is spread over ten episodes with all original credit sequences/end titles from each movie removed.

Trivia for Mary Steenburgen fans, some audio effects used in her 1979 time travel movie with Malcolm Mcdowell 'Time After Time' were used in one of the episodes.

Special Thanks:
Massive Thanks to That One Guy for taking the time to review and ultimately approve the edit. A huge thanks to Scribbling Man for previewing the edit and coming up with some great ideas for improvements to the narrative and spotting some badly needed fixes. To SonOfSinbad also for meticulously checking each episode for anything that needed tweaking. Also big thanks to TheRyaney for the coverart (a fabulous job on that!) and to anyone else who made suggestions in the ITW thread, it was a very collaborative process on this one which I for one thoroughly enjoyed!
