Trailer thinking
Time of the Robots is an unusual film in that being created using parts of other films, when I've tried to make a trailer in the past it simply looks like a montage of film clips, not like a coherent piece.
And that undercuts the whole idea I'm trying to assert: which is that TOTR is the result of a powerhouse drive of writing, editing and composing.
Right?
Maybe not.
The last time I tried to make a trailer I was still using exclusively public domain music for the film, and since then I've ended up scoring about 2/3 of the film with original music.
I lay awake last night thinking about this, and it came to me that maybe I can use a combination of titles, strategically chosen clips, and my music, maybe I can drum up a cool little trailer.
I'll try this out in the next week or so. It'll probably take longer than I think to do it.
But it'd sure be nice to have a trailer or teaser of some short to POST online.
We'll see.
