I got a strange desire to make a Pirate Movie Trailer a couple of days ago
As I even bought a Pirate Cutlass at a dollar store in order to prepare for this event this evening I thought I’d just make something out of the ideas I’d had. As I half expected, it wasn’t half as impressive as I thought, and as I’ve rather disappointedly noticed, it isn’t very impressive but… Perhaps it’s better than nothing. So here you are, a movie trailer for a movie that probably won’t ever be made.
One of the interesting things about making this was that when I started filming I found that I had less than five minutes left on my camera’s tape. That condensed things a lot! I ended up filming only about a minute and a half of footage and I used just about all of it. If you observed me seeming to run around in circles it is because when filming I first ran away from the camera and then I had to run back towards the camera in order to turn it off so that I wouldn’t waste tape. It’s interesting what you can do in the editing process… Oh, and did you like the Widescreen Format?
