I had to make a trailer (actually it could have been anything but everyone else was making posters and whatnot so...) to promote a novel I read this year. I just had to pick a book from Chuck. I purposely learned how to make movies using MS Paint and Windows Movie Maker. I had 2 months to do it but I only spent a week due to complications. In total I probably spent about 30 hours in front of the computer doing all the drawing and research. Sorry if it's nothing snazzy.

Was the bubble image supposed to reflect the pool? I wouldn't have put the last part of Guts in there, 'cause it doesn't make sense yet. I did like the music and the quotes.

Yeah it referred to guts. I didn't like the idea at first but I really wanted to animate something. I originally wanted to show a kid struggling to breathe (underwater) then have him stop and watch a carrot float across the screen but my anuimation skills aren't great yet.

Hey man,
What is the song you used in the trailer? Not that I wouldn't see it anyway, but your trailer got me excited about seeing the movie when it is finished and ready to come out.

It's called The Power of One by X-Ray Dog. He does a lot of trailer music, this was actually the music used in one of the Dark Knight trailers. By the by I'm a chick but I call everyone man anyway so it doesn't matter anyway.

Does this mean you dislike it? Honestly I'm not too happy with how it came out, I wish I had more time/patience but unfortunately I don't have the money to buy adobe flash and final cut. Although even then I'm pretty sure it would've came out worse because I have no idea how to do anything with flash.

I thought it was okay, there were some nitpicks I had. My "wut?" face was for the person asking when the movie was coming...

Ah ok. Yeah I was confused when they said that too. I did hear their planning on making it but then again they (as in Hollywood) always say their gonna make a movie and never do. Sorry if the video itself is crap, I have my 2 week old nephew in the house on top of other school assignments and unfinished college applications. Fun.
