Here's a project that I'm starting to work on, as a hobby. I've actually followed Fishtank pretty closely for the most part, watching the Jet episodes made me realize that I could probably make a better job than he would at editing his own show, maybe even at a faster pace! Considering how much Jet's vision seems to have destroyed the edited versions, intentionally or not, I am now working on a De-Jetted Edition of Fishtank.
The idea is to make a longer edited version of the 42 days, following all of the highlights that people know and love and integrating the high-definition clips where applicable. Considering the length of the whole show, I don't know how many fancy graphics I'm willing to make besides Title Cards, so Jet's version might have some flashier gimmicks, but I'm willing to sacrifice that for a far improved narrative.
In terms of format, I believe that I'll edit something like 11 edited movies, each one loosely focusing on specific arcs of the show. Unlike television blocks, which rely on a strict length format of 30 or 60 mins, movies can be anything from 80 to 200 mins, so the timing and pacing issues should be resolved.
Here's a first draft I made of the films in order, so you can get a loose idea of the structure I had in mind:
- Fishtank: Spring Breeze (Day 1-3)
- Fishtank 2000: Disaster Movie (Day 4-9)
- Fishtank in 3D: Unplanned Parenthood (Day 10-13)
- Fishtank in 4K: Disabled Stream (Day 14-17)
- Fishtank Cinco: Attack of the Clones (Day 17-22)
- Fishtank 666: The Hassle Begins (Day 23-26)
- Fishtank 7/11: Gang War (Day 26-29)
- Fishtank 8: Fatty Unravels (Day 30-33)
- Fishtank 9/11: The End of an Era (Day 34-36)
- Fishtank X: Resurrection (Day 36-3

- Fishtank XI: The Cell II (Day 39-42)
I do have some things that other members can do if they wish to help. I'm not a font autist, so I don't know which font Jet used in the final edit. I also don't know what music would be best suited for Fishtank (World Peace OST, Classical, Eerie Elevator Music, Stock/Royalty-Free, Stuart Little 2 Soundtrack...)
Also, can anyone here confirm this a good source for archive footage? I've heard the actual fishtank.live archives suck, on top of being a pain in the ass to parse through.
Worst case, I can use YT highlights. Anyways, hope I can bring proper closure to Fishtank Season 1, I think it's a unique little show. Fishtank Season 2 does not interest me at all.
