And now for something extremely retarded...
 

So a few years ago, I flew to Texas with a friend of mine to pick up another friend and drive back to VA. While we were there we were bored and filmed a stupid short with sword fighting in the backyard (total time of prep, filming, and editing: -1 hour). We called it "Lords of Sito" (Sito being his nickname, and the swords reminding us of Lord of the Rings)

We are doing the sequel, and I made a trailer for it. But since I shot it with the XH A1 I figured I'd post it for all to laugh at....

Dude the ending was too funny i'm still cracking up.
Just curious what NLE did you use? Nice job!

Hi Matt,

could you please tell me what music you used in the trailer?

THX

hahaha, the end shot was nothing short of magical. I love how you had a horse running around for no reason too! funny stuff man!

haha thanks Jason. Once I showed this to everyone who was there that day, they were crying laughing.

The song is from a movie called Requiem for a Dream, its called "Summer Overture" by Clint Mansell. I used the remix.

I use Final Cut Studio (Final Cut Pro).

On a side note the last shot I used, I didn't zoom with the camera. I did it in the editor. I'm very impressed with how much detail is kept when scaling HDV compared to DV!!

Thx for the info. I actually have the Soundtrack....I just forgot

For those who care, here is a 720p and 1080p version:
