Update: To see similar treatment of the remake, Hitman: Agent 47,
please go here.
First, I want to thank the editing/fan trailer communities on Reddit and
Discord, and my friends for early feedback.
A couple of years I reviewed the original
Hitman
movie and the
remake, and I cut together my
first fan-made trailer. This one should've gone up shortly after those reviews. In fact, those
typing parts had been done for a while, but the rest of the video wasn't
coming together well. Besides technical difficulties (my own ineptitude), I
was going back to school, or work, or both, and it was easy to justify the
procrastination.
Recently turning this blog into something a little more helped a lot though
because I hope to encourage others to try doing this too. So, where's the
best place to start with that...
It's really going to vary for everybody, depending on what they like to
watch and play. As far as narrative for one of these videos, I still don't
know how to come up with that from scratch. The Spider-Man one used the same
style of a different trailer, and this one used the game's Silent Assassin
ranking system for missions. There are a lot of books and tutorials on
editing, but I got lucky and learned the basics in school, so I'm not sure
where to actually start with those other resources.
On the technical side,
Blender is a good
editor. So far, it and an editor called
Olive are
the only free resources I know that allow mkv files. Blender lacks audio control
though, so another program like
Audacity is
necessary too.
Anyway, I hope people give editing a shot. It's like another form of fan
fiction that can spark more and more creative ideas.
Also, what is your favorite fan trailer and/or editing resource? Please
mention it in the comments.
This video, and others are collected, on-site, here.
