wow... two posts in one day! aren't you a handfull of lucky readers...
so, in case you haven't noticed, we're lighting up the vimeo like mad lately. it's basically going to serve as our primary video resource until grammarschoolpictures.com finally get's that much needed upgrade.
anyway... re-watching and converting the archives for vimeo has got me thinking about the teasers and trailers. specifically, our own teasers/trailers. you may not know this, but we are not a huge operation. grammar school is basically a two-man operation with a bunch of freelance advisors and an intern who is literally 15-months old.
that means that we post our own blogs, set-up our own equipment, design our own posters/fliers, and, yes, cut our own trailers. (this is the part where we toot our own horn...) one such trailer that i'm especially pleased with is the little piece we put together for Icebreaker.
normally, you wouldn't bother cutting a trailer for a short film. i mean, seriously, why would anyone spend 35 seconds watching a video to help them decide if they want to watch another video that's only 7 minutes long? silly, right? and totally unnecessary.
but, in the case of Icebreaker i had an idea. a concept even. a way to make a funny little pitch for the concept without giving away 20% of the film. nothing is revealed in the teaser that would potentially ruin any of the twists and turns of the short, but the tone is established. the door is opened just a crack and you can kind of see what might be waiting for you inside that room. in any case, it's not perfect from a technical standpoint, but if you haven't seen it, it's good for a quick laugh.
enjoy.
