Creating something from something already made is not easy. What I intended to do in this video was create a sequence of events that would draw in the audience and captivate their attentions enough to want to see more. To direct them towards my friends and their videos filled with amazing writing, editing and dialogue. In doing this I took away a bit of their say in the process but gave a different attempt at doing something they had already done. While I feel the promo they made fits their presentation a bit better, I still feel mine has the ability to possibly appeal to a different demographic or audience. By showing the fantastic points in the series they are creating I was able to establish them as named characters while anyone just coming into the series might not understand their on-going jokes.
Through the typography I gave them a name with each face in order to establish the character. Character can be everything in terms of the audience and their perception. By giving them a name and showcasing a few of their moments in the video we come to know what to expect from each. In this it lets the audience know it is okay to see a character commit a certain act as it is within the confines of the established character.
Alternatively I was also trying to see what I could do as an editor. Through editing and working with their footage I was able to connect with the work and understand how certain shots were made. It sort of comes down to the concept of being the man behind the curtain and knowing what each lever does. Through this process one can see the inner workings of the video and establish themselves as part of the creative process after seeing the imagery and interpreting something completely different from the original. The same could be said of any time an author steps down and allows their assistant to continue the writing due to fatigue or the like. Ultimately though we gained respect for one another's artistic views and learned from our experiences. What else could an artist want?
