Woohoo I haven't heard Clubfoot used in anything lately. I was happy to watch this video, it went along well with the song which i haven't seen done in much of anything for about the last year.
Dude, pretty snazzy. Now that there's actual footage out, you should edit this with the footage added (unless you've already done that, then I just haven't seen it xP).
A realy impressive trailer. Captures the opening of the comics, it sort of runs like an injoke that you can feel proud knowing that you understand it. The music gave it a real Kill Bill edge to it, the anti hero characteristics of the film and all.
i agree with some of the other commenters though. i'm really not sure if it suits the watchmen atmosphere. to be honest there's very little music that would.
Did you create the "WATCHMEN" title plate in a 3D application or in After Effects? What font did you use, if any? I've been using a Futura Condensed but it just doesn't look right, yours looks much closer to the real deal
Everyone says that Futura Condensed is the right font, but I did a title treatment of it and it no matter how much I work the scale/kerning/leading, I can't get it to look like the treatment on the movie ads and on the graphic novel itself...Impact actually looks closer ddue to the width of the letters. Odd
could be...but this song passed way too many times in some commercials (at least in portugal) and it wears off credibility to the teaser!! maybe something more dark or agressive...or even simpler and silent! btw nice work around the "grindhouse" look
i don't like it...i understand the tribute and excitement and all, but it's a bit too upbeat for the source material for me. don't get me wrong, it's a fine piece of work, far, far better than anything i could do...but it just doesn't fit Watchmen.
I forgot to mention that, while I do like the overall piece, I think the font for the 'Watchmen' title card leaves a bit to be desired. It just doesn't seem gritty enough. It looks too flashy to fit in with the rest of its grimy nature. Perhaps if you made it look more like Rorschach's handwriting, or even left out entirely (the smiley-face button really says it all).
I tell you that bit resembling an ink blot in the beginning with the warner brothers logo is great. They should incorporate that into the real trailer.
the music is showing that the time period is back in the 80s and it gives the film a classic look so that it actually seems like youre in it, watching it, but makes it look original like its been there a long time
Well I think the quality of what you've done is fantastic, but the tone and music is all wrong for Watchmen. Watchmen is not a Tarantino hipster kind of thing, it's very dark and contemplative.
Thanks. A lot of comments have been made about the music - some love it, some hate it. I chose it to reflect the dark nature of Rorschach - this is his teaser to the film, and ideally I would make a whole series of them, one for each of the main characters.
awesome. kind of has a ninties feel (a good thing!)looks so pro too, and i especially love your use of the rorschach blots and symmetry in the beginning and end
I agree with dserv. most unnofficial trailers arn't that great, but this was really really good. This is like the early teaser they would show in the theater a year before the film is released (think the first trailer for the dark knight) great work!
amateur trailers normally suck, but that was amazing, really felt professional, incorporated lots of good watchmen feeling shit without requiring actual footage, great job man
Possibly. The idea was to create something that fitted Rorschach's grungy style - like it was almost created by him. Interestingly, the recent movie stills released on the site, all have those grunge style frames around them.
not bad. i always liked the idea of a watchmen trailer to "club foot" but i think the full begining should be used. also, try giving the audience just a little more to chew on to be legitimately teased.
