60 hours. 776 clips. 8 recordings. It is over, it is done.
Dear StEx enthusiasts, may I introduce you to the project that has consumed my life recently: The Bochum 2015 Cine-Cut.
Aka: Felds using his video editing skills for good! Utilizing 8 master recordings made between 2014 and 2015, obtained from various sources, I set out to create a multi-cam cut of the whole show as it happened in this point in time ten years ago. I denoised, dehazed and did my best to polish the footage, before adding literal subtitles (direct translations from German) and annotations where needed.

FAQ under cut
How can I obtain this supercut? Will it be on YouTube?
No, it will not be on YouTube. However, I am not gatekeeping it, ever. Once it is finished, I will put the good news out here on tumblr, and send a download link to people who ask for it via dm. You can do literally anything with this except put it on YouTube. Please do not ruin it for everyone.
Send it to the Pope or dm it to Electra themself I don't care, as long as my watermark is respected
Why watermark something that doesn’t technically belong to you?
Because I spent 60 hours cutting, editing, grading, and subtitling, as well as translating. Also, if people see clips of it, they can find me and get the whole thing!
Why make a super cut of the 2015 version specifically?
Because the show as it is today has little to do with what was happening in 2015. With even more changes to come (shudders), I put this together in appreciation of something that is over and cannot be experienced or viewed anymore.
Also, thanks to a certain master, we especially have a lot of footage of Toby this era.
Why not just use the english lyrics?
Because a lot of the choreography is literal, and the lyrics aren't always 1:1 translations!
This is for people who want a watchable, movie-like version of the entire thing that focuses on what is most important on stage, without fancams, and with mostly consistent actors. The lyrics are color coded to both the ensembles and characters, by the way!
Also perfect to introduce new people to the fandom!
I went to go see Starlight Express for the last time two weeks ago
Its been taking me a lot longer to draw some of my favorite moments than I anticipated since mt arm got so much worse
But one of the things that stuck our super hard to me was when I abruptly realized at the end of Pumping Iron that I was sat right between Sheri on for Blue Lightning and Red on for Silver Bullet
And they were going absolutely INSANE for Greaseball
To the person that gave me a Killerwatt logo keychain at the 25th matinee I doubt you're reading this but thank you I love you and I'm sorry I didn't talk to you properly 😭
