Synopsis:

LOST II - Numbers covers the first ten episodes of the second season of the television show of the same name, and depicts the aftermath of Walt's abduction and the survivors' opening of the mysterious hatch in the jungle. This film series eschews the manufactured drama of its parent television series in order to focus on the compelling narrative hidden beneath its surface. In doing so, the central story of the series is brought into focus through a series of ten thrilling and wholly self-contained cinematic experiences. LOST II - Numbers begins to explore the Island's mysterious past, and continues to establish the interconnectedness of all those who find themselves drawn toward it. As the castaways continue to deal with their survival of the crash of Oceanic Flight 815, they begin to realize one thing: they are not alone. Explore the world of LOST like never before in this unprecedented film experience.

Intentions:

This fanedit is intended to create a complete and self-contained narrative that eschews the less desirable aspects of the notoriously confusing and slow-paced television show LOST, in order to place greater focus on the compelling narrative hidden beneath it. This series of films will finally provide viewers with an easily-accessible, plot-hole free narrative that tells the story of the survivors of Oceanic Flight 815 in the most compelling and concise way possible.

Change List:

Too many to name, but major plotlines that have been removed in making this film include: -Michael, Jin and Eko's search for Walt -The backstory of the tail-end survivors -Almost all flashback narratives -Sun's discovery of the bottle of messages -The existence of the Arrow station -Numerous pointless searches for Vincent.

Additional Notes:

My general method for editing the television series into the set of ten films that will eventually take shape was to identify and remove any narrative threads that did not contribute to the core story of the television show, and also to remove any plot-holes or poor dialog I found. The programs I used in my edit include: AnyDVD to rip the Blu-Rays TSMuxer to demux the video streams into .264 files MeGUI to demux the DTS-HD audio streams into WAV files Sony Vegas to do the editing and rendering (as Lagarith and WAV files) eacto3 to transcode the finished audio into 5.1 AC3 files MeGUI again to transcode the Lagarith video into the x264 codec for the mkv version of the film HCenc to transcode the Lagarith video into the MPEG-2 codec for the DVD version of the film MuxMan to pack the AC3 and MPEG-2 files into a DVD compliant set of VOB, BUP and IFO files WinRAR to compress the files for uploading jDownloader to create the dlc files Photoshop to create the art for the film.
