Yeah, that was not a good Voiceover Guy. But I guess parodiers can't be choosers sometimes...
Xander ,'Same Time, Same Place'
Buffista Movies 5: Development Hell
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
You're right-- that announcer was painful. he sounded almost computer generated.
But the non-voiceover parts were great.
So, are trailer remixes the mainstream vids? Well, more mainstream, anyway? It sure seems like it. Or maybe that was just me wondering why they were featuring the chick in the trailer.
Where the Truth Lies
You know, I am a Firth and Egoyan fan, and I still haven't seen this. But I have seen the original Fever Pitch.
The girl who'll be playing Luna was in all the Irish papers when I was home last week. She's a complete fangirl. They had pictures of her queuing at midnight for the last book, wearing beaded golden snitch earrings that she'd made herself. She must be the most excited girl on the planet.

Yeah. It's sort of weird, watching what I consider to be vidding techniques, used for this purpose. A little bit of mental disconnect.

Not radishes, but still perfect.

That's really interesting, because it never would have occured to me to think of remixing as a "vidding technique." It's just...editing. (And I wonder how much of my own POV is influenced by knowing that the Shining trailer that jumpstarted the trend came out of a film school class.)
Who knows, maybe these made up one-liners will prompt young people to seek out the real facts as found in my recent autobiographical book, "Against All Odds?" They may even be interested enough to check out my novels set in the Old West, "The Justice Riders," released this month.
Bwahahahaha! Nicely done, Chuck.
