Looper Mashup Trailer

Back in 2009, Rian asked me to help make a trailer for a script he’d just written.

Looper had not yet been shot; but in 3 years, it would have been.

So we made a mash-up trailer for a film that did not yet exist.

loopermovie:

This is a strange curiosity I thought might be interesting - just after I finished the script for Looper but before we began preproduction I asked Joe to record some voice-over, and with help from my friend Ronen Verbit constructed this “fake trailer” using clips from other movies. This is a fairly common thing to do when you’re trying to get a movie off the ground, but it was the first time I tried it. It was meant to show more some of the film’s tone, and to show how the odd concept could be presented in a clear and compelling way in the marketing. Zach Johnson did the sketches. Note that we hadn’t begun the casting process yet, and the clips were chosen just based on their visuals and not by who is in them.

‘Twas an honor to work on with him.

Extra credit if you can spot all the movies we used clips from

I want to give your brain a blowjob

I want to go down on your brain

and lick your brain’s clit

I’ll start by slowly licking along the folds of your right hemisphere

then I’ll firmly grip your occipital lobe

and start gently massaging your parietal lobe, with words and fingers

as I tease your prefrontal cortex with my warm breath

then I’ll press my lips firmly against your medial longitudinal fissure and suck deeply, creating a vacuum like in deep space

I’ll slip my pinky in between the gyruses of your somatosensory cortex, rubbing inside your sulcus

then I’ll focus my tongue on your frontal cortex, first gently, then strongly, all through your mesolimbic pathway, while rubbing my lower lip against your hypothalamus

and when you’re teased to the point where you can’t take it anymore, my mouth joyfully drowning in your delicious cerebrospinal fluid, I’ll finally lick your brain’s clit (I know you; your brain definitely has a clit) and really go to town.

I promise to be very, very careful with your amygdala. I know it’s sensitive.

When you’re tired, sleep, when you’re hungry, eat, when you’re depressed, work, when you’re horny, fuck, when you’re sad, cry, and when you’re happy, smile. When you’re bored, imagine, when you’re restless, exercise. When you’re afraid, breath, when you’re excited, jump, when you’re lost, explore, when you’re thinking, think, when you’re talking, listen, and when a pretty girl smiles at you, smile back.

When there’s music in your heart, dance to it.

Tell me three lies.

IDEA: NEW ANIMATED GIF FORMAT

Fri, 12 Aug 2011 12:03:00 -0400

IDEA: NEW ANIMATED GIF FORMAT:

Gifs as a medium have far outgrown the limitations of gifs as a file format. Ever since I made my first one, I’ve long wished they could exist in high quality (gifs are limited to 256 colors). This is going to be necessary for them to make the leap they’re making as a respected art form. Some people try making vimeo loops, but those ‘jerk’ on the reset. Since there is no high-quality alternative that will work cross-browser, the solution is to create one:

To write a piece of code that will cycle through JPEGs or PNGs, but have a mask over it so right-clicking will save it all as one file (an equivalent gif or zip / etc).

Casey Pugh said it would be easy to do this as an iframe. (Here’s a picture of him dressed as an astronaut, so you know he knows what he’s talking about.)

IDEA: Excellent. As a frequent maker of gifs and recorder of moments, I would love to have this.

NEEDS: Someone with the proper developer skillset who cares enough to build it.

*Re: Replies I’m getting: APNGs are what I’m referring to when I say “there is no high-quality alternative that will work cross-browser”. If the format isn’t supported, as far as creators like me are concerned, it doesn’t exist.
