C-47 Trailer

Thursday, October 15th, 2009 at 12:20 pm by Jamie

Great gugga mugga, the trailer is finally done! This is the trailer for C-47, an independent sci-fi production that I worked on waaaaay back in the summer. We finally got the trailer ready for public gawking so here it is! We shot the whole thing on the RED which is just a sexy beast of a camera. We didn’t have anywhere close to the money that the Turbo guys did, but I’m hoping that doesn’t show.

Alright folks, time to be brutally honest. Is C-47 something you’d want to watch?

    I would totally watch this, I love watching indie flicks. Lately I’ve been preferring them to the normal tier 3 budget films that are in theaters.

    I have to watch it to see if I can see myself!

    But now that I actually have some idea of what the plot is, which I didn’t while working as an extra, I definitely want to see it anyway.

    Looking pretty good! And I’m not just saying that because you can see me in the trailer as an extra (between 0:40 and 0:44, guy in orange robe getting pushed). Can’t wait to see the complete show.

    ZOMG! Jami in a film. Yeah, i caught you in the trailer. You wierd clothes wearing artist-type you.

    Hmm. Indians in a film set in India. Curious for an english-language film. Much commendation on that ground, and its an issue you’re up to scratch on.
    Looks interesting. Wait and see - yeha i’ll check it out.

    I’d definitely check it out! That is, assuming it’ll be available up here in the frozen wasteland known as Canada?

    I’d check it out. The world setting and the fact that it’s set in India gives it a new visual tone then what you normally see in these sorts of film. I’m really digging the colours. So many sci fi films either use such sterile tones or are so grim and gritty you can’t see what’s going on, that the rich textiles and colours really make it pop.

    That and I’m totally digging the robot.

    Hmm…I’m inclined to yes. Something about it strikes me as trying a bit hard though…i can’t put my finger on what though…I look forward to seeing the actual product.

    Maybe. The preview’s aesthetics are a bit off. I’m not well versed in film, but the transitions seemed choppy. The sound and the voice overs in particular — listen to their timing. Seems like a lot of dead air / staccato. The first 40 seconds should be dropped entirely — it’ll be easier to sell me that hokey premise after I’ve payed for the ticket ;) Also, the CG tower is ugly and I could barely tell what it was. Start it with “We live in precarious times”, cut to “I want to know what happened”, “can robots kill”, …, “show us what you saw”, and then just run 15 seconds of lightning fast cut frames and transition to whatever wrap-up text you want. As it is it looks like a cheap “I Robot” meets “Mad Max” or “Logan’s Run”. You’ve said that to make something like this work, you have to bring it all out in the character (or the chop sockey) department. This gave me just enough to think “that looked very amateurish, but maybe if I saw it in the full context”. You, though, worked! “Show us what you saw.”

    I do want to see this, but mainly because of AZM and not because of the trailer itself. Not because Jamie is in the movie, but because I know from this website what types of things the AZM crew are into. And if they’re into it enough to be part of the making of a movie, then it must also be something that I’d be interested in as well.

    Looks cool, I’d watch it (especially to see what Red can do).

    Looks really interesting, I’d love to see it.

    Will you be sending it out to festivals?

    Nice nice, looks interesting, I smiled when you popped up.
    I like the visual style very neat.
    The font used in the trailer bothered me for some reason, can’t quite place why.

    I think one of the plans is to get this out for the festival circuit, but I’m not exactly sure yet. We still got a lot of CG to fill in.

    This actually looks really interesting. It seems like one of those super low budget sci-fi films that turns into something amazing without the world noticing.

    But more importantly, I would, and totally will, request this at my indie theatre.

    This looks pretty interesting, and the RED puts out such an insanely high quality picture!
    My buddy Chad is also working on a SciFi short.
    Maybe you guys will be running into each other in the festival circuit!

    I would check this out. It’s one of those interesting ideas that always pop-up and always interesting to see how it’s played out.
