One of the oldest film educational traditions, a student edit of Gunsmoke!

I was given a set of 10-bit interlaced ProRes files made from scanned Gunsmoke film dailies for the episode "The Buffalo Man" in a film editing class. The first thing I did was reverse telesync the footage to discard the added 3:2 pulldown and return it to the 24p frame rate it was originally shot in. As this was a digital scan of film I decided to blow it up to 2k frame. Then started my edit based on maximizing the direction I felt the original shoot script was best aimed at. I chose to finished it with a dramatic Sergio Leone inspired "death march" sequence set to music by Ennio Morricone - a tribute to Italian Westerns! -Daniel Reed, Aspiring SF Film Maker
