Pomona Heat

An old, beat-up Grindhouse-style trailer for a movie that doesn't exist titled Pomona Heat. Written & Directed by Borrow lead, Jason Oyama. Shot and Edited by MEEEEEE!!! Featuring lines and set-ups borrowed liberally (read: stolen) from Boogie Nights and Seinfeld. Enjoy!

I put together this trailer as a surprise for our gang's most recent Trash Movie Night, using footage from a short film my buddy Jason made in addition to some old trashy flicks from my collection. After watching the trailer for the first time, Jason came over to me and smiled -- then proceeded to punch me in the face, over and over again. You're welcome.

Wow -- sorry for not getting back to you, I forgot. Must be losing it in my old age. Anyway, I'm glad you enjoyed this, but I'm especially glad that it's piqued your interest in the rest of my work! :)

How do you do this? That was awesome. I always wanted to do random trailers like that. Wow. You guys are awesome.

Thanks for the nice words! It was pretty easy to put together, since I just took old footage from a spoof that I worked on with my friend a few years back. I purposely skipped frames and repeated them to give the jump cut/film splice effect, then used Windows Movie Maker to add that old beat-up film look to it (sometimes repeatedly over the same shot to downgrade it even further). You should definitely try making one of these trailers yourself, they're lots of fun! Thanks once again!

lukettylwillie=awesomeness. You like that? I just made it up. Sure enough, I've noticed that my YT viewing has dropped considerably in the past couple of months, paring it down to the essentials, which the lukettylwillie channel is certainly one of. (FYI, if you had left a negative comment, I'd have said you had no business on YT and I couldn't care less what you think. That's how I roll.) Thanks, Luke!

Summer 2008? You think I'd have one ready so soon?

Thanks angel! You can take all the time you want to catch up, as long as you end up leaving a comment. ;-)

The editing=awesomeness. You know, Carlos, I don't watch videos here on YT anymore. Just haven't been into it. That being said, once you make a video, it's something that must be seen. Granted, you posted this a few weeks ago, but I justed realized that. Anyway, great job! Catch your next video in the summer 2008. :P
