Dragon Small Z Explained

Remember when you watched DBZ back in the day? Where minutes of the episode were of powering up and character commentary? I decided to start a project to remove all of these scenes and still retain the quality. I called this project Dragon Small Z. I originally posted tests online in October 2006 intending to create the episodes and start releasing them around March 2007. But that never happened. The source for these episodes were low quality and had inconsistent voices. Not only that my video editing skills back then were sloppy, and I didn't put much effort into it.

In September 2008 I picked up the project again. This time around I made it so the episodes had better flow, and that the sound won't jump because I adjust the volume in between scenes. The music will mainly be Funimation's because that is how most of us remember it, but at different parts in the episode it may switch to the Japanese music to make it less jumpy. The source for these are the Funimation remastered DVDs since it has everything I wanted except for the cropped wide screen, but it isn't too bad.

These DSZ episodes will be around 20 minutes long, just like an episode of DBZ. To give you an idea of how much is cut out, the first episode of DBZ was cut down to 48 seconds, and the second episode was cut down to 2 minutes and 23 seconds. What I'll do then is combine these cut down episodes until they are 20 minutes total. Filler episodes won't be included with the DSZ episodes, but they'll be shortened for a compilation later. I'll be releasing the DSZ episodes in three main arcs: Freeza, Cell, and Buu. I will hopefully release one episode every week until the end of an arc, and then I will releases filler compilations and the such. That is if everything goes right. The Dragon Small Z trailer will be released soon.
