The Postman: Spark of Hope

[ArtisDead]

I like that but you need to bring baldy in right when he starts that dialogue.

If I understand correctly, you mean cut back to the Postman and Briscoe right before the line "didn't think so?"

I also desaturated the footage of the people of Pineview a bit.
I have one other idea, I'll post it as soon as I've got some time.

Ok, so I had this idea on how to possibly make it work. I don't have much time before I have to go to work, but I couldn't let the idea go and had to make a small test to see if this might work or not.

I think the concept could work. You would need to re-score the scene to help tie it together and add some extra emotional weight. Good idea.

That's actually a good idea. I didn't think about rescoring, I'll try it.

I've removed the original music and added another piece of music from the OST.
I also added some background night ambience to fill in the gap of removing the original score. The change is gradually when Briscoe says "Johnny" and cuts gradually back to the original audio when the next scene starts (the mail clogging the door).

The other idea I had didn't work. There's a shot of Johnny sowing his new uniform a few moments later in the movie. I thought of using that scene. But it created problems trying to rejoin the two shots before and after, to bridge the gap of the moved shot of Johnny.

I've uploaded a clip of the intro texts I created into the opening thread. English is not my native language, but I did my best not to make any mistakes, please let me know if I did.

You should use DigModiFicaTion Star Wars Crawl creator and run those in white text but as a similiar crawl. It would be awesome.

 

[theomega]

Haha, I like the way you think. I'm just not sure if it would fit this movie 😅

 

[ArtisDead]

No. I was joking. But I think that you should make them a little more off white and use a western type font like Birch or Dead Kansas.

I will just call you The Particle from now on...

😁I'll check out those font. Yeah, I'll see how they look with the changes.

Sure 😂

I did however consider changing "tyranny" to "tyranney" as a little inside joke, but I eventually decided the movie is too serious for that kind of humor.

 

[theomega]

I redid the intro texts, made the background more yellowish and the text more off-white yellowish. Also changed the font. I looked up a birch and I think it's a nice font, but I also found another. The question is, which one is better and is maybe the original font better? Or maybe even another one?

I like both very much. For this, it completely comes down to editor's flavour. Go with which one appeals the most to your sense of style. Though I do think Intro #2 could benefit from being a few font sizes smaller.

Also, could each title card stay on the screen for a few seconds longer?

spotted one typo: "beliefs" not believes.

I personally like the second. Yes, I can make them stay a bit longer on screen.
Thanks for spotting the typo, if you see any more, please let me know.

Okay Particle,

I personally like the first. It seems to fit the western post Civil War vibe of the movie. I love the off yellow color. I would adjust it so that it is a tad smaller and spaced better. Also, as far as typos go...it's grammatically incorrect in several places. Do you want to fix that? I can help.

I've uploaded a small trailer. I'm not really good at those things, I hope you guys like it. I've inserted it into the first post.

Yes Art, please help me with the grammar. I'm Dutch and English is not my main language. But I do want the texts to be correct.

Okay, I will rewrite it for you. Grammatically correct. You do have Amsterdam! 😁
