I Know This Much Is True: The Trailer

MORE Updatedness: Oh, looky here! I have a high-quality version of the video, now. Very nice. You can actually tell how much work I put into it now... and also how badly the audio is synced in some bits... oh wells. Enjoy?

UPDATE: Better quality this time!
This is a project for AP Lan/Comp at my school. It's a movie trailer for a potential movie of the book "I Know This Much Is True" by Wally Lamb, a brilliant book about family issues, estrangement, loss, fear, and secrets. We basically filmed it in 3 hours and I edited it on a really old laptop for a day and a half... and this is the product! Enjoy, I guess...

Music used here is Knights of Cydonia, by Muse. Not owned by me.

This is one of my favorite books by one of my favorite authors. I am now reading it for the 5th or 6th time, is is so well written. I wish there WAS a movie, I think it would make a killing; the book is just so great. Nice job here, :) -wish you could do the whole story.

well, thank you much!

yeahhh we joked about trying to do a whole thing, but schedules got tight around AP exam time and we never really discussed it further, but we had a lot of fun making this little trailer, anyway.

LOL!! I want to bake you guys some cookies for brightening my day. I wish I'd gotten off my ass in high school and filmed something!

It's hilarious, but hey, I don't know how you'd make a film version of that book even with a budget and have it NOT be hilarious. You guys rock for reading those 900+ pages and then doing something with them. ^_^

why thank ya ^^

I Know This Much is True is my fav. book. Your video made me laugh out loud so much! Don't know if that was your intent, but eh, wtv.  Also, I loved how the guy playing Ray was trying so hard not to laugh on camera while yelling at Thomas. Nice job.

[JoeZombei]

why thank you. ^^

i was /kinda/ trying to make it serious, but at the same time it was nigh impossible... my whole group laughed while we filmed, and again even harder when they saw the finished project, soooo no worries there. xP
