Synopsis:

To create a version of Inglorious Basterds, which is less self-indulgent, at 102 mins, without any music and then add back in a single score from another movie to change the entire tone.

Intentions:

In this edit, Part 1 of an ongoing series, the score from The Great Escape by Elmer Bernstein was used. Other versions will follow, each using music from just one cinematic score.

Change List:

Editing Details: The bloat has been removed, and extensive audio rebuilding was also required. Music was added in a disciplined manner adhering to the themes, motifs and more to apply the music with purpose. MUSIC CUES. All original music was removed barring 10 secs (can you find those pesky 10 seconds?). ADDED RE-SCORING CUES in the order that they appear. Many scenes use more than one cue to achieve the desired effect. 68 distinct cues were used in either edited or complete versions. DUCKING 468 level adjustments to the 68 cues used. Mixing and editing of clips excluded. ONly 4 Cues were not used, totaling 8 minutes.

Additional Notes:

Some details. All but 10 secs of the original music have been removed. Aproximately 60 mins of the 102 mins runtime is scored. 31 minutes from the 91 minutes of available score were NOT used, either due to excessive repetion, or just not useable. No exact piece of music is used more than once (except 2 stings, that were doubled in length for dramatic purposes). All but 6 cues from the EXPANDED GREAT ESCAPE 2 CD set were used, but not all the music in those cues. Many were extensively reworked to fir the visuals and vice versa. 51 minutes of the original movie have been removed 2 minutes added Extensive full audio rebuild for many scenes Leimotifs, thems and melodies from the new score have been applied consistently to situations, characters and drama....a few have been used to either misdirect the viewer or to inject melodic irony. The THEME from THE GREAT ESCAPE, appears in many forms and stlyes on the original score; some are as expected, but the theme was also orchestrated dramatically, melancholy-like, tense and even a few cues which have dissonate orchestrations...these have been used to good effect. The 20 min intro with LANDA now runs 10 mins. LANDA scenes run for the most part UNSCORED (per the original), with a few stings or minor underscoring added where it felt appropriate. Some scenes are in black and white, and adjuested for high contrast where needed. Some scenes that were not previously scored, now are. Hitler's Rant is gone The Zoeller romance is gone Over exposition is gone The game in the tavern, is gone. The climax is restructured Over 80 sound FX were used throughout. New opening and end credits have been created. A new flashback has been added (which was used in The Tarantino Tales Episode 7, but was originally created for THIS edit).
