here is the deepest secret: a "submerged" trailer

[ciudad]

For marginaliana's Submerged, a James May/Richard Hammond story for rpf_big_bang.

[ trailer | fanmix ]
notes: To marginaliana: thank you so much! It's been an honor being your artist, and I hope you'll enjoy my offerings for your awesome story ♥ I admit, I was somewhat apprehensive at first, because I've never tried illustrating for a story with a concept like yours (even if I adore the trope so very much), but it certainly was a fun challenge trying.

Thank you to ulop, who went out of her way to beta not just one, but two versions of the trailer despite having limited 'net time. Her feedback was invaluable and v. appreciated!

notes: I found the nature of the story a little too complex to illustrate audiovisually without using skills beyond my ability, but I did my best to capture some of the "moments" that struck me. I hope you can forgive the liberties I have taken with the footage and the story and the traditionally-cheesy trailer text :)

technical info: Edited using Vegas 9 Pro, VirtualDub and Audacity. This video uses clips from BBC's Top Gear, BBC's Should I Worry About...?, Sky's Inside Killer Sharks, Notting Hill, The Abyss and Le Monde du silence. Music is Imogen Heap's "Come Here Boy". Title borrowed from e e cummings. Apologies for the variable clip size due to different sources. For best results, view with VLC player.

I read the story and I really like this! And I don't even know these people. But I do love AU trailers. :-) And I love cheesy trailer text!

ETA: Minute 0:28 was very sweet with the eyeroll. :-)

Oh wow! That was absolutely amazing!

(And yes, I too was impressed that you managed to make a video trailer for that particular premise...)

Really amazing editing. :)

Can I ask, where are the clips of Richard and James from when their in the pub and restraunt? From 00:22 - 00:29. I really like the shots, but don't recognise them.
