Help me
 

I have a project for economics class, I have to make a comertial, so im making a fake trailer for an 8 bit movie, can anyone give me any ideas for good short clips i can do that are pike PG rated so far iv got some from comics 2 15 22 27 35

I dont really see a prob if you have the clips already

Those are just a few ideas, but i dont know if they would work

I suggest you take the opening speech from final Fantasy 1, use the music from said title screen, then have the 8-bit Characters slowly introduced with titles, like.

"He did it for his Country." (show Thief spinning knives)
"He did it for Power." (show BM using Hadoken)
""She did it for destiny."(show WM healing BM)
"He did it... for Sword chucks!" (Have Fighter run in waving around Swords and yelling AAWWOOOOO!")
Title: "this summer."
Title: "Nuklearpower presents."
Title: "in association with (your name here.)"
Lens flair
grow title: 8-Bit Theater!
show BM: Bolt-2 Mudda Fugga!
Coming in Jan, 2008
and insert random comics of each person doing somethin else in between each title. insert music from lord of the rings after the opening title screen.

Yeah, go with what Slightly Aboveaverage Man said. That's actually really good. OR...
(Absolute silence)
Thief: Explanation later...
(zooms on his face)
aquisition now!
(Remix of FF1 battle theme starts playing)
BM: (casts Hadoken) HA... DO... KEN!
Fighter: (Using two-fisted monkey style attack!) TWO FISTED MONKEY STYLE ATTACK!
Thief: I can steal anything that's not nailed down or on fire.
(music stops)
RM: (off screen) Oh, SWEET JEZUS! IT HURTS!
BM: This is the most pathetic battle ever. Let's never EVER talk about it again.
(Chocobo tune starts playing)
Title: This summer...
WM: Did you hear that?
Title: Prepare yourself...
BB: What?
Title: For the laugh of your life.
WM: A great disturbance in the order, as if millions of voices cried out to say "Oh shit,"
Title: 8-bit Theater, the Movie.
RM: My plans are brilliant, it's the laws of physics that always get in the way.

and you can do bloopers at the end. like:

He did it for his country, and have thief be stealing from the Director

Thanks Foof. I took a filmography course last semester. I had a similar project, I had to make a 5 minute movie. however, my script called for a 40 minute movie, and so we just made a preview. our teacher then sent this preview to a film festival, where it got a standing ovation. :D

your's is good too, although due to the rat bastard course I took, I constantly see the camera work and general outline rather than the actual movie. I discovered the way to make the 2 types of trailers.

1) Teaser Trailer: the one I posted is a teaser, rarely any diologue, mostly random images, set to music, and is usually only about 30 seconds long.

2)full length Trailer: usually a trailer that shows selected bits from the actual movie, spliced together in order to tell viewers about the plot of the story.

your's is like a merger between the two, leaning toward a full length. Improvements could be made if several plot revealing comics were added.

sorry if anything in this seems condecending, but that damn course turned me into a rat bastard cinic when it comes to movies. Good job though.

as for Cygnus.
1) awesome name, got to love the Assault Gunboat.
2) how are you doing the trailer?
Flash?
Live acting?
other?
and if Acting is the way you're going: 3) what editing program will you be using?

Edit: bloopers are another story, but that is an excellent Idea.

It would be AWESOME with live acting. The only thing that worries me is that to fit White Mage's part, it would take somebody with a "Hilary Duff" personality. That scares me. ...a lot.

well considering that this is a class project, I highly doubt he's going to get high paid actors for this! :D

I can bet any actors will be friends, family, or someone who he paid off with a snickers bar.

I said "Hilary Duff personality", not "Hilary Duff.
