Synopsis:
This fanedit turns the 1st season of Oz into a movie focusing on Tobias Beecher.
Intentions:
My intention with this fanedit was to focus on the character arc of Tobias Beecher over the course of the first season of Oz. I have always felt that his story was the most interesting of the storylines in the first season. Beecher is the average joe being thrown to the wolves, and his transformation is, in my opinion, quite compelling. While I focused on Beecher, I also included some of Augustus Hill’s narration as this is a staple of the show and felt that it was important to keep it in the edit.
Change List:
I added some new credits in the same font style as the original credits. This was so I could include the majority of the cast that appeared in the edit (simply using one of the credit sequences from the end of one of the individual episodes wouldn’t suffice). I added a photo montage that is not part of the original series. I also added a custom “Gatos Production” logo in the style of the HBO static tv logo.
Additional Notes:
I cut out most of the extraneous story lines that didn’t directly involve Beecher. There were a few things I had to keep in that don’t directly relate to Beecher but were necessary for continuity and to fill in potential plot holes.
