This is a mock commercial I edited as part of my second year, second term film school project. Shot on HD. Some framerate glitches in the conversion, though.

Also, why out of all the movies you could've mentioned, did you decide to use Mr Nice Guy and Blade Trinity as an example? :S

Because, afaik, the industry standard AVID which gets used on a majority of Hollywood films (Media Composer Adrenaline with Avid DNxcel) is part of a turnkey system that needs specific, compatible hardware. You can't leech it off Bittorrent. I personally use Premiere Pro 2.0, but I've worked on both...

I swear by Premire Pro 2, however I'm going to need to learn how use Final Cut Pro HD within the next week seeing as we're going to be cutting on that at school this semester before moving onto Avid Symphony.

So in other words, you're doing promo shots of something that isn't even in production... :S

Ahh, to be a kid again. Good excuse to play around with your mom's knives I guess.

No. Sorry.

Well of course. All good drama is based on an emotional arc...The protagonist's journey from their starting point contiuosly develops as they mature emotionally through the story.

And a story is made up of three acts.

Thanks man, Problem with music is there that I NEED legal rights to use anything copyrighted...All the low ambience, plus the orchestral score at the end, I did myself. The song in the beginning is by a Darkwave band called Stoa and I still need their permission to use it. The glitches were pretty n...

Anyone?

Hi, Some of you may remember me as Vamp. The editor assigned to this director did such a terrible job, he asked me to recut it for him, which I gladly obliged. The material was so good and so easy to work with, it's been a pleasure - albeit bittersweet - editing this. Holly wakes without a memory in...
