18.8.10

Daily changes


The changes a single day can make may seem minor taken piece by piece, but look at the two versions of this opening from the previous post to the one above.  You'll that the additions, subtractions, and shifting of pacing and effects can affect the movie as a whole quite significantly.


Now that I have this opening segment more or less in hand, it might be time to work up a new teaser trailer.  We've had the same teaser since 2004, and there's definitely room for improvement now that more of the film is in the can and in some kind of shape to be presented to the public.  Add to that the fact that I now have a copy of Adobe Premiere to actually make some things happen... and maybe this trailer will actually be something worth watching more than once.  Maybe.  For old times' sake, here's the original trailer.  Notice the lack of original music... but that's hardly a problem with trailers.  Ever notice how every movie advertisement pulls from the same tired library of movie scores?  Just chalk this one up as one more trailer to get mileage out of Requiem for a Dream's soundtrack hit, Clint Mansell's Lux Aeterna.

Oh, man- running around a parking garage in posterboard costumes = great summer memories. Still hum that Requiem track to myself whenever I do video editing.
