Synopsis:
David Cronenberg's 'Videodrome' edited to have a tone and style reminiscent of Shinya Tsukamoto's 'Tetsuo: The Iron Man'. The narrative remains broadly the same but is substantially cut down with far less exposition; the video is presented in high-contrast B&W, and the fanedit features a new score. Additionally, some new elements have been added to reinforce Max's diminishing ability to differentiate between reality and television.

Intentions:
The two films share a lot of thematic and narrative elements, but present them quite differently - so I thought it would be interesting to see what 'Videodrome' might look like styled after 'Tetsuo'.

Change List:
This was very much a tentative figuring-it-out-as-I-edited project. I got quite far into the first iteration of the project before deciding that the end result was a bit boring, at which point an idea for a second revision occurred to me. A few scenes required some basic visual effects (manual compositing + green screen), which was an interesting learning experience but mostly rather frustrating due to the time involved.
