Just a little fun post today. I was on YouTube today and I saw a fake trailer for Wes Anderson's version of The Fellowship of the Ring. I though I would share it. Parody trailers and re-cut trailers can be really funny and very creative.
Many classes on editing will have students re-cut trailers for existing movies. This is a great practice because it allows students to creatively re-examine movies. Any movie can have its mood adjusted with a simple music change and some specifically chosen cuts. Taking certain pieces can easily change perceptions; just watch CNN, MSNBC and FOX News try to report on the same story.
Most of these re-cut trailers end up on YouTube. Not all of these trailers were cut from students, but they are all interesting at least.
There are some trailers that change-genres:
A Romantic Comedy version of The Shining
There are some that take a look at directorial style:
Coen Bros.' version of Wizard of Oz
Wes Anderson’s version of The Fellowship of the Ring
These are my four favorites that I have seen, there are tons more. Titanic re-cuts where Jack gets thawed out, horror version re-cuts of Toy Story and Wedding Crashers, and even a version where Willy Wonka is a drug lord. They are funny and they can take a lot of creativity.
