For this widescreen version, which was done completely on a second generation iPhone SE with iMovie and a free app called audio extractor you can find in the App Store, I cut down the sequence from nearly 8 minutes to 3 minutes and 55 seconds and cut down the action to bring the tempo up while still keeping in step with the soundtrack. I remixed the audio where necessary to match the score and applied both color and black and white comic filters to give it it’s graphic novel like look. That’s more or less it. This should be looked at as an experiment or just something made for fun and educational reasons. I like how this came out as compared to my take on Stanley Kubrick’s adaption of The Shining by Stephen King. On an iMac with something like Premiere Pro I imagine what could be created from scratch and maybe I will get to do that some day. In the mean time I have the less than sixty second short version done and I have an interview clip with Henry Fonda talking about the film in retrospect too. They are all below and the Longer Widescreen and Short Versions are cross linked in the respective discriptions on the @GenreOnline Channel on YouTube So stay tuned and thank you all for your support and patience. Namaste.

For this short version I managed to cut the scene down to less than sixty minutes by being ruthless in shaving off whatever was not absolutely necessary, remixing the soundtrack to account for all the cuts to make it flow better. Then I applied the filters and I was done.
