My previous post was a short “movie” created by my roommate, Justin, (with a little help from myself as well) of our friend, Eric’s 21st Birthday Party… which actually took place last November… so when you think about it… all the footage had been sitting around awhile before anything was made of it.
To start off, there was a lot of footage, a lot more than this 1:39 min movie shows. If I remember correctly we had a good 90 minutes worth of footage, but as with any movie most of it ends up on the clipping room floor… or in our case, not used.
All sound from the footage was removed, and in place the sound from the “300” trailer was placed in. The key in the making of this video was making clips seem like they fit with the sound from the trailer. It took several hours of going through clips and deciding which worked best where. Yet there was one part that there wasn’t a suitable clip for, so my little digital camera was thrown into video mode, and I recorded Justin “slicing” a lime. That was actually the very last thing that was done for the whole video. So that tiny part of the lime being sliced was filmed 10pm Sunday night… but you wouldn’t have known that without me telling you.
I’d say it turned out pretty well, considering we had footage of drunk kids… not people acting out the “300” trailer.
