Making the Cut: El Chapter Final
So... I'm done. :) I finished my jumpback sometime last night, and put the final titlecard in about 2 hours ago. Then I showed it to my parents--the ultimate test of movie-awesomeness. My dad because he can spot cheese and understands all the technical crap, and my mom because she knows what she likes and she doesn't understand any of the technical crap. <3 They've never failed me before, and my mom said I could totally blame it all on her when if I lose, so... \o/
(If you can't see the video yet, just wait a few minutes; it's still processing)
I just... I've never felt this flaily over a movie project I've done. It's very exciting, and even if it's not the most beautiful or technically accomplished thing out there, I like to think it's fantabulously short. And in the end, isn't that all that matters?
Oh, alright... the song I ended up using was "Black Hole Sun" and... the cut I made of it just didn't provide for a long clip. So I settled for 36 seconds. Which left me more time to work on my effects, rather than spend the whole time organizing clips. <3 Life is beautiful and happy when I can skip the grunt-work part of the editing process... heh. I'll save my other cuts of songs for either future Supernatural trailers, or most likely, next year's contest. I've got one in particular that I'm dying to try After Effects' 3D Camera on. If I had the time, I'd be working on that one right now. :)
Thing is, I just don't have the time to make another epic, so... I'm probably going to go the stupid route and make a Smallville one to "Holding Out For A Hero". Good times. There will be slo-mo, and explosions, and also Green Arrow. Lots and lots of Green Arrow. No, I don't have any shame, thank you for asking.
That concludes tonight's narcissism. Thank you, and goodnight. <3
