Zulu Dawn: The FanEdit: 2011

Some response to Zulu Dawn: The FanEdit.

"One word FANTASTIC"

25/04/2011

"May I just congratulate you on Zulu Dawn: The FanEdit. Your choice of music was splendid and I especially loved your new handling of the invasion scene. John Barry's tracks gave it a fantastic new edge."

"I liked your successful attempt to get rid of the carbines and lame original sounds effects. The battle of Isandlwana itself now has more sense of the rush one would expect from one of the most violent engagements of the colonial era. Gone are the hundreds of wandering, stumbling extras and present is the punch and shock of such a crushing Zulu victory.

I could say a lot more but all I can do is suggest that everyone watch and enjoy this incredible effort."

"Brilliantly done!"

"The improved music and sound effects make the film much better and the final battle has much more impact without the cutaways to Chelmsford's camp. This reworking of poor material has produced a far more enjoyable experience."

Note: Due to some moments in Zulu Dawn: The FanEdit that have been less than successful, such as the three instances where it has been impossible to remove the original Elmer Bernstein score, Zulu Dawn: The FanEdit should be regarded as a "work-print" and only viewable as an example of what could be achieved with better source material.

ZULU DAWN: The FanEdit Soundtrack

In memory of the late and great John Barry, here is Zulu Dawn: The FanEdit Soundtrack album.

The original ZULU soundtrack album from 1964 by John Barry comprised of the movie orchestral soundtrack on Side A and versions of popular Zulu songs, unrelated to the movie, on Side B.

Here with the Zulu Dawn: The FanEdit Soundtrack the same approach has been taken. Side A contains the newly mixed and arranged Zulu Dawn: The FanEdit score by John Barry and on Side B is a selection of Zulu popular music.
