Movie Trailer
 

Earlier this month, some friends of mine and I got together and made a movie. It is a low budget funny film, and to wet your whistle a little before the movie is done....the trailer is online! The guy doing the editing is working hard to get it finished, but he got us a trailer to show off...so check it out! (in case you don't know, I am the guy in the green trench coat)

CHeck it out everyone!

That wasn't funny. It wasn't sad. It wasn't thought provoking. It wasn't chilling.

It just sort of was. I'm still not sure what it was that I actually saw.

Sorry, just giving you my opinion here. I have a lot of respect for what you're doing as you have much more drive and ambition than I, but I thought you'd want some honest feedback. Best of luck to you.

Looks like you guys had fun filming it

Perhaps you just don't appreciate the the guileful, ambiguous wit of this piece. A blissful two minutes of cinematic satire, this work gleefully skewers the marketing modus operandi of showcasing the best aspects of a film in the trailer--instead slyly focusing on the banal and humorless. Can the demands of a feature possibly be reconciled with such a brillient concept? This remains to be seen--but what is certain is that PackerFan et al have created a minor marvel that will not soon be forgotten.

Personally, I'm working on a screenplay for a sentimental comedy set in a small college town, but I tell people I'm working on a edgy heist picture/comedy about a quirky, mismatched cast of characters that join forces to pull off the ultimate... terrorist attack?

I appreciate the honest opinion, mrsimper. But like HERD said, we aren't trying to create a masterpiece. Just a fun little bit of comedy that a bunch of college kids are making for fun. Maybe you will change your mind if you actually see the whole film (a whole 20 minutes) and if not, no worries. Just supposed to be a fun little funthing...heh.

Come on, how could anyone here not know that was you?

Thought I would just mention it ;)

Plus, the one line I have in the trailer is the "Halo 2, copyright 2004..." line behind a graphic, heh.

i'd be more interested if you could guarantee me that non-pretty chick with the huge knockers took her top off.

lol...you are not the first person to ask that.

Great, now I gotta watch this.

actually you don't. the non-pretty chick with the huge knockers was the only redeeming quality of that trailer.

Wow HA, I think I agree with you.

pretty much. Gotta try and convince her that going topless throughout the movie is the only way to save your masterpiece of cinema.

We weren't trying to create an Oscar winning performance here, guys. And as our director said...

" If anyone really gives you a hard time about how "it's not funny" or "it looks like shit" just remind them that it's easier to sit on your ass in front of your computer and write random blurps of insightless bull-shit than to get a group of people together, pay for, write, produce, shoot and edit a short film. And while he's still sitting on his ass in front of his computer posting on message boards, we're trying to create. "

We are just having a good ol' time, not trying to make a million dollars, heh.

that's true. it is a lot easier not to make a not funny, look like shit short movie.

Sounds like a hard ass director. He ought to be able to convince her to take her top off.

It is his sister though...I don't think he would want to do that, lol.

College kids putting together a 20-minute movie for fun actually assign themselves titles? Does he have one of those folding chairs and a megaphone?

Sorry, I haven't seen this because I don't have QT on my office computer, but that struck me as kinda funny.

Bullshit should not have a hyphen. So says my editor.

lol...

and actually yeah, he did have a folding chair :)

He doesn't wear a beret and funny-looking sunglasses, does he?

no, thank god.

who is on key grip?

All info on the movie can be found at http://walo2.stopthatnun.com

Sadly, no grip .. but they do have a Gaffer. I think that's something like a fluffer, but I'd have to ask Flasch.

I think we were supposed to have a key grip, but they bailed on us couple days before shooting.

fuck that! i wouldn't want to throw myself on a grenade, but i would - for my fellow soldiers.

i use a key grip on myself about 2 times a day. 3 times on weekends.

hahaha

hey i respect what you are doing here with the movie. who cares if its great. its fun to make. so make it. thanks for sharing. that said, i watched it with the sound off and only to see the chick. meh. still yeah if you can get those things out ill turn the sound up as a concilatory gesture.

I have some experience as a grip (I was never a key grip, but I was a best boy grip for a small part of the shoot I worked on). I am too small to make a good grip. :(

Have you tried tweezers? :D

bravo. :)

i really wish people wouldn't check out the clip just cuz of the non-pretty girl with the huge knockers. i said that was the trailer's "only redeeming quality".

just like if a chick were to squeeze your nuts hard - the only redeeming quality of that would be that a chick had her hands on your nuts.

it may or may not be sufficient enough reason to want to experience it.

This is a fair point.

a LOL moment... :D

lol

Packer was just trying to share this thing he made...I'm not going to watch it, half because I'm lazy, and half because my computer sucks, but give him a break.

And I will (if possible) show you guys the final project. Not saying you gotta watch it or else...just showing off some of the fun shit I did this summer and prove I DO have somewhat of a life outside of the computer (no matter how small it may be, heh)

RESPEC

HAHAHAHAHA.

that was hilarious. HHAHAHAHA :D

As good as Kodos' tweezers joke was, I honestly thought it was pretty obvious that I was trying to set up that kind of response. I certainly wouldn't have said "I am too small to make a good grip :(" by accident. The sad face didn't give it away?

you tossed him an alley oop and he friggin' dunked it and broke the rim.

I will gleefully accept that explanation.
