A fair use experiment that brings together all scenes with this amazing character in a way that tells his story. Had Mortal Engines been about Shrike and Hester's journey, it could have been a fantastic dramatic film about humanity in all things even when not human.

All credit for the source material goes to Universal Pictures, Media Rights Capital, WingNut Films, as well as a special thanks to the cast, crew, and fantastic music by Tom Holenborg (Junkie XL).

By the way, Universal Pictures is monetizing this video, so if you can, please support them by renting the film or turning off your Ad Block for this video so they can get revenue. They were kind enough to allow me to post it on Youtube without hitting me with a negative shrike (lol sorry. little pun there for giggles). :)

I created another short. "Robert Fischer: An Inception Short." I reworked the film's footage to focus on Robert's story so that without Inception's context, it becomes an emotional journey of reconciliation and closure with his father through his dreams.

Try as I might, the copyright holders refused to let me post it on Youtube even though it falls under these Fair Use factors:
1. "Transformative." The video adds a new expression or meaning to the original. It is a non-commercial use.
2. It does not harm the copyright owner's ability to profit from his or her original work.

It is aggravating that a Youtube search for Inception results in hundreds of clips with no editing. And yet mine is a transformative remix that expresses new meaning, and they vehemently said no.

Anyhow, feel free to watch and comment at https://vimeo.com/413766699

I hope you enjoy it. 🙂
