House of Pain Trailer (Page 1 of 2)

I really like how the trailer looks. I like the whole feel of it. I'm more than excited now until it comes out. I can't wait to see this movie. It's going to be one hell of a ride. From all the pics that you posted on the progress, this was definitely worth the wait.

Oh no problem at all HOP. You guys should shoot it on 16mm. The old school way. That way it will have that nice grainy look to it. I would definitely love to see this shot using the 16mm film. I hear ya on the long ride ahead of you. But it will definitely be worth it. I think so.

Good choice good choice.

Yeah b/c once you screw up a little on the 16mm then you have to get a brand new real. It doesn't hurt to use a combo. It's always a good thing to use extra footage. So maybe give it a shot on the whole combo. But before you start actually using the whole combo idea, i would just try and go out and shoot different things and see how you like it and if you don't then scratch the whole idea.

Oh i definitely believe it. So definitely be very careful or all that money spent on the 16 will be down the tubes. But i'm sure that it's going to turn out perfect. The way you intended your true vision for HOP.

tame is a fair way to put it....

The short we did isn't really a blood bath.  Its more of an intro to the story and the characters and the house/situation.

We could have taken the easy way and just gored it up, but that's not really story telling.

sorry if that came off rude....

it was really hard to  hold off on the gore... but i promise, when we shoot the full version.... we will live up to the name, House of Pain~!

I never said anything about the trailer being "gore-less".  I meant "tame" as in a slower pace, rather than a fast pace.  That's not to say the trailer is bad, it's just something I noticed while viewing it.  That's all.

constructive criticism is welcomed here..... i'm going to try and do a faster paced one as well

I like the slow burn, but others might not.

I can't wait to see your entire full vision of HOP be complete.

Yeah i definitely hear ya on that. Hey even though it will be a year in progress, you gotta look on the positive side. Once it's done, it will all pay off and you will be very pleased with the finished product.

I didn't mean any offense by my comment.  It was just my opinion.  I tend to like faster pace trailers, but it's not my trailer, so who cares.  Right?  And, for a more slow burn type trailer, it was perfectly executed.  Job well done.
