Comment RSSMy Video Response To Josh Rimer’s Contest Video
27.08.07 # 16:21 # Adventures in Real Life # No CommentJust a few days ago I mentioned Josh Rimer’s new contest. If you haven’t already done so you should go and check out this video that details it. WAIT! Don’t go just yet. I meant go after you read this post. Anywho, part of the contest was to post a video reply to Josh’s video. So that is exactly what I did.
As soon as I got the idea to make my own video, my imagination went wild. I would get the backing of both a major movie studio, like Lion’s Gate, and a big time producer, maybe Jerry Bruckheimer. I would have a huge ensemble cast of the biggest names in Hollywood. I would definitely need a special effects budget larger than any other major motion picture, and it would certainly have to be done by ILM. I figured I could hammer out a script in about 4 weeks. Pre-production including casting should only take about a year. Principal photography (as we in the industry refer to the filming) would be done within 2.5 years maximum. Then all of the post-production and FX work would only take another 18 months. We would be ready to open nation wide by Christmas of 2012. In my mind it is an absolutely glorious blockbuster that will not only shatter box office records, but set a whole new precedent for how these kinds of videos are made.
Then I sobered up and reality crashed down on me. The cut-off for Josh’s contest is Sept. 1. There is just no way my true vision could be realized in that time frame. So I scaled it down just a tad bit. The result (still brilliant if you ask me) can be seen right here. Just click on this link and you will see my masterpiece.
Well what are you standing around for? Go watch this right now!
