Grindhouse Trailer Contest

[Crimson Sky]

I worked on these two grindhouse style trailers last week for a contest sponored by Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez. It was shot over 5 days in The Bronx and Brooklyn. We had a blast. I did the SPFX

Lol! Those were pretty funny - great special effects, and good editing on your part, Crimson. I liked the filming as well a lot, it was well done.

Haha, that was awesome!

[Spawn-Inc]

nice i like the brains shooting out what was used tofu?

[Crimson Sky]

used some paper tissue, bits of foam etc. and an air compressor :p

[Bucko]

I do like it!
The old style voice over man and slightly dodgy premise make it pure gold!

[SgtM]

Good stuf Crimson.

[Crimson Sky]

LoL no I didnt act in or direct these...I just did the cheesey $5 FX ;)

[Ironcat]

Those were great. The second one made me long for the good old days of Troma Films.

Looks like you probably had a lot of fun!!! The Debbie Does Dallas music totally cracked me up.. Who ever did the audio portion.. NICE TOUCH!! hahaha

[Crimson Sky]

LoL..check out the "behind the scenes" video:

[Ironcat]

That was almost as good as the trailer...

yah the foam mallet flew off and wrecked one of the HD cameras on the first take. Good thing we had a backup! a little hot glue and we went for another take

Who knew you could fix HD camera's with Hot glue.. is there anything you can't do with the hot molten gooey goodness?? Yah yah yah.. I know the hot glue was for the mallet not the camera, but I couldn't resist. :D

Anywho.. Paul you can come work for me anytime, and I will let you pay me only 10 bucks an hour. ;)

Again, looks like it ended up being alot of work, but still ALOT of fun as well!!

Great job, and good luck on the contest.

That was seriously random.

I love it "Terrifying, Scandalous, Explosive, Explosive..."

"Dis ere is Paul Capello Special Effects Wizard" I seriously can't get over the accent.

[DaveW]

Haha...part 666! Great stuff man, i love Special Effects too.

If i had my dream job, i'd do special effects-but none of this CGI crappolla. Now that today's film-makers can do anything they want, they do things by halfs. In the days when special effects were expensive, they made each one worth it. Great stuff tho dude.
