Terminator Dark Fate: Trailer Remix Challenge!

time for housekeeping ... delete all the source stuff from contest and the cached stuff and delete projects and so on and so forth. This is a very important thing for me with wimpy computer stuff. I deleted those earlier vimeo uploads but left last one up for now.

🙂

Well, this is it... 21 seconds. I guess 30 seconds would be a nice round number ( with a graphic and title and credits or whatever ).. but I'm done.

this is an interesting browser thing. it used to be that when people responded to threads they went to the top. Now it does nothing.

I'll probably just end up checking that bell icon when I sign in, and just look at the first screen of listed posts, and narrow it down to that level of interest etc.

This thread is cool cause Kevin was interested in getting into more 'creative' aspects of using the forum.. sharing ideas and working methods and so on... to just do the work of 'telling stories' ... 

I am now dead in the water re: this trailer, unless I get a brain storm while watching the football game with sound off. I'm a sound idiot. I get info from the visual stuff mostly.

So now, I have to come up with some really impressive music and finish what I have pre-determined to be a 15 second trailer, stretched out to 30 secs, cause 15 sec idea was totally crazy.

I crinkled up some mylar in the bathroom, added some elec stock stuff, couldn't find drum hit so took metal door slamming stock and went to EQ and made it all bass... and now I'm dead in the water.

added some jet noise, starting to stack the sound stuff. will get out the h4n zoom sound recorder later and crumple up some film gel scrap ( cto or ctb ) to get crackling noise for ball of plasma thing the unclothed guy comes in.

and add a kettle drum 'hit' at end when he drops out... I have that sound on the pig ( edit computer, I'm using laptop for this ).

then I'm screwed. Dead in the water.

Gotta add other characters and a few snippets of dialogue within about 20 secs. And figure out what to do for some kind of music score.

wouldn't it be more fun and 'creative' to sorta share what we are doing as we do it here ???  We could get ideas from on another, etc.

Well, my idea of doing a trailer in 15 seconds just flew out the window.

I'll be lucky if I can squeeze into 30 seconds. Yikes.

Need music, sound effects and inspiration !!!!

Hi I've recently started editing the Terminator challenge/promotion that adobe has put up, I was wondering if there where any copyright regulations in the challenge, for instance using epidemic sounds music library, and also, can I download the 2nd trailer and use footage from it in my edit?

forgot to put first sample clip with sound sync done. It's like 4 seconds ? Better hurry if I want to do the total thing in15 seconds !!!!

The first clip sound sync. Did it on the word "talk". Your tongue has to go up to roof of mouth to make that sound, and it's easy to see talent do that on a frame and put that segment of sound to it.

The mp3 dialogue stuff was dragged into a new audio level and butted together and exported as an independent mp3, so the time codes have nothing to do with the video clips. Each clip has to be sync'd manually somehow.

The means cutting the sound file, of course, so you can link sections to the individual clips. So that's my first mission. 

🙂

I'm not gonna make up my own story. That's an interesting idea, though. I can see how that would be fun to do. I'm just thinking of doing a 15 second trailer to get people to watch the movie the way the story is now. Won't be easy and maybe I'm not good enough to do it. I especially miss slated shots ( for sound sync of dialogue) and also miss a music score of some sort, special effect sounds ( like machine gun and explosions and spaceships flying), not to mention all the other things I know I don't have to work with. But I'm really glad this kind of thing is being offered !
