Where do you start when you have to condense a feature length documentary down to two and a half minutes? The beginning, I think.
From what we have read, a movie trailer can can make or break the buzz created about your film. We have shot more than eighty hours of video over the five years we have been working Killer B3, and somehow, we still have one more shoot, which just came up.
We have been done with the rough cut of the film for a few months now. Still, there is so many things that need to be tweaked, not too mention getting the proper clearance for photos and videos used in the film.
While our extended trailer is getting a lot of great buzz, it's way too long to use as a theatrical trailer. You've seen theatrical trailers, they are the previews you see before your movie begins when you go to a movie theater.
The idea with a great trailer is to pull the best and most exciting pieces out of your movie and highlight them. It has to be captivating, fast paced, story oriented and a lot of other things we are still learning. Bottom line, the movie trailer should make you want to see the movie without taking more than it takes to heat up a Hot Pocket.
We are about half done with the process. In Hollywood, they hire specific editors to do movie trailers. In Tampa, when you are just a team of two, you create it in your underwear while watching Jerry Springer and snacking on Cheetoh's.
Be patient Killer B3 fans! Just like the movie, the theatrical trailer for Killer B3 is coming soon.
