So I haven't updated this place in over a year, but hopefully I'll try to keep up this time. I was popping videos out left and right over a year ago, but now since I've slowed down I'm going to try to post more here. I've got a few Smallville videos in the pipe I'm working on including other TV shows and Movies as well.
I added a Posters page that has a few pictures I've edited over the years too!
I got a message from tnr105 on youtube suggesting a the idea for this video. They pointed out some really cool scenes I could use and I was immediately hooked on the idea. At first it was going to be a stand alone video and not an action packed trailer, but the project evolved into an alternate/companion trailer to A World Without Superman. I found some music that reminded me of the first Watchmen trailer, which I tried to based the Death of Superman video that was pulled off of youtube so I thought it would be a good fit. Here's the synoposis:
Since the death of Superman the world has been thrown into turmoil, Oliver has turned to drinking (as well as Perry White) and Lois mourns the man of steel's tombstone. The entire Justice League is in full action, especially Cyborg who wants to keep his promise to Clark. Kara is back at the farm and meets Brainiac who might have a solution to bring back Superman. Lex looks back into his past and realizes who much of friend Clark was to him and is ready to release his latest experiment, Connor Kent. Brainiac makes Bizarro lose his mind as he puts Jonathan into the hospital and attacks Lex. With Supergirl trapped in the phantom zone, Bizarro has made his full transformation into the villain.
I started making this video as soon as I saw the official description. I wanted to do a Hangover style trailer for Smallville for a while. I had the idea of using clips of Jimmy, Oliver, Clark, and Lex going to a party and getting drugged and try to find Jimmy, but because of the lack of clips it was too hard to make a funny video out of a few funny scenes.
Making the video was relatively easy, I started working on the night it aired and uploaded it the next day. I thought the episode was hilarious even though the Hangover homage the blatant.
About a year before this video came out I made a teaser featuring Smallville's Lois & Clark watching Superman Returns. The original idea was similar to the Lois & Clark 2, which was basically a bunch of moments wrapped up like one long trailer. This time I wanted to do something different.
Since Season 9 features Lois and Clark finally getting together I decided to make a separate video in the style of a Rom-Com trailer, which after watching many... many trailers had the same formula. You could put up the video up to other trailers and see the similarities (the music turns when they kiss, ending on a funny scene, ect.)
The other video was scrapped and Lois & Clark 3 became the Rom-Com video I had been working on. One of the things that inspired me to do this video was poster in Crossfire that was a homage to the Pretty Woman poster.
Since the website I tried uploading all of the stuff youtube won't allow went down, hopefully the video will work here. Original Post:
Had to do another Death of Superman video, using footage of "Bride" and other episodes I remade my last trailer with more action and drama! Here is a synopsis to better understand the trailer:
Clark Kent has become the man of steel, Superman and lives the life of a mild mannered reporter. Lex Luthor has been developing his own "bizarro" caped wonder to knock Superman down once and for all. Everyone's plans are ruined when Doomsday arrives. Superman dies, Lex Luthor is injured, but not convinced that he is dead. Neither is the Green Arrow, but he thinks Luthor is involved. Bizarro escapes Lex's lab and begins to remember Clark's memory's and takes his mantle as "mild mannered reporter"... More to come as Season 8 continues and more aspects of the story will show itself in more trailers!
After Smallville was pushed back a week I was furious! It really annoyed me, since I was looking forward for the show returning and also knowing in the back of my head this is the final season and I want to get all the Smallville I can. So instead of breaking things or starting fights with random people I made a video. I took the idea of "False Advertising" and used it to announce fake guest star returns that would be awesome, but would never happen.
Also I wanted to use the kick-ass song Invaders Must Die by The Prodigy for a video!
Now there was a lot of negative reactions when news broke that Michael Rosenbaum wasn't going to return, but I was not angry with him. Many people complained and wanted his head on a platter. I still held hope that some thing would happen before the finale. I don't believe anything until it comes from the actual source. Same thing with those rumors about the new Supeman film, whether its good or bad rumors are rumors until they are confirmed.
On a side note, I am really excited for this new Superman movie and I am totally on board with Henry Cavill as the new Man of Steel. Unlike some fans I would enjoy watching Tom Welling, Brandon Routh or Henry Cavill as Superman.
The video itself was something I have been working on for a while. I had some of Lex's audio in the beginning and the music itself set up. I wanted to use Kanye West's "Power" because it kind of described Lex on different levels. For instance the lyrics, "No one man should have all that power" can describe Lex's situation as the ruthless business man of metropolis or it could be Lex's view on Superman/Clark that no one person should have all those super powers.
Yes that 1:23 video was supposed to have layers...
Any way, I was ecstatic when Michael Rosenbaum announced his return and wanted to make a video that showed it and I hope everyone enjoyed it.
