My trailer idea

Postby Kyle » Sun Jul 02, 2006 7:35 pm

Try to visualize this in your head.If your like me youll get chills.


The screen starts out black.text appears on screen then a flash of hands typing furiously on a keyboard plays then you hear mayas voice say"synch ratio over 400%!".

screen gos black more text scrolls.

A flash of dr akagis lips appear and mutter "it cant be".

screen gos black.text

A flash of Misato with her back turned to the camara faceing several screens,she screams "eject entry plug now!"

screen gos black.more text.

aoba yells"We cant it wont except the coades!"

black screen,text.

finaly Ritsuko screams"its gone berserk!!"

A long black screen, no text.

After whats seems forever a sudden image of unit-01 appears.Screaming in rage.END

coming soon to a theater near you....rated KA for kick ass!

A bit contrived, but a potentially effectve trailer idea.

No text though. No voice over. Just blending in and out, with speech bridging the fade transitions would be most effective. And no mention of 400%, that's getting to into exposition that would bog down a trailer.

What i ment by "text" was those drawings on gendos office cealing.

I do however like the idea of the voice overs during the black screens insted of during the flashes of footage though.

Good trailer, but maybe for the second movie (If there is one).

No, that's not what I meant. You fade the footage and audio out to black. Then you bring audio in while the screen is black, and then bring the native video in. It bridges the gap. That's how editing works. You can't just fade to black, fade in footage, fade to black, fade in footage. It wouldn't have any flow.

Actually, I was thinking of something like the D&R trailer; classical/orchestral piece playing, flickering images, film grain, colour shifting, and other stuff that instantly tell you "this is a mindfscking movie".

Assuming that the movie will be like that, and not just some 'cartoon robot show'.

I'm pretty sure it will be just a 'action robot show'.

TBH, I wouldn't mind if they do make an 'action' movie out of the first batch of episodes (which to me, were more on human emotions than the psychoanalysis later), as long as the 2nd movie (Action Arc), and the 3rd movie (Descent Arc & Bitter End) still does the original source justice.

i'd have to agree that the trailer idea would be better for the second film seen as it only mentions events which take place there (or possibly in the third) but to be honest i don't like it. i prefer the idea canonrap said. that's some freaky shit if ever i've seen some. perfect.

it must have the deepness at the beginning...but must also have evidence of cool action battlenessness....after all....when you think about the show

eps 1-7... .25 Eva deepness .75 cool action

there until i think around Sahaquel or Leliel... .45 Deepness .55 cool action

and the rest of the show is .82 deep and .18 action

END OF EVA .75 deepness .25 action

using lines like..."New enemy...Its up to three teens to save the earth...and what not...thats a little cheesy.....(who am i kidding its extremely cheesy...).......Less talking...less used lines....gotta make it as mysterious as possible....but i think some talking is good....i wouldnt name the actors either....thats a really bad idea....and dont use...THE VOICE....you know the voice im talking about

I think yours is pretty cool...i dont see how it would work for the second movie...since the first besrker thing hes talking about was in the first fight...but whatever...nice trailer

wheres canoncrap's trailer...if its that good id like to see it...

I think it'd be cool to see Earth as a big molten ball of lava (Long ago) and the big black thing hurling towards it. First impact should be in a trailer too.

Cool idea. I like it. ^_^

(btw, in terms of mindfuck trailers/spots, that one for End of Evangelion of the flashing images/text with Shinji screaming(?) is...whoa.
