I was working on the next video essay (about movie sequels) and – surprise! – got sidetracked. This time it was movie trailers, specifically the editing and structure. The essay centers around “The Matrix Resurrections”, so I pretty much know the movie backwards and forwards at this point.
It was a good way of learning some more functions in DaVince Resolve, especially with sound design, plus how the structure of a trailer works. This was done with royalty-free music and sound effects, got to avoid those YouTube copyright strikes.
Uploaded on a Tuesday night, woke up to 400+ views, which makes it my most-watched video. Picked up a couple of subscribers, too. Hilariously, the first comment was “Why have you bothered to make this?!”. So tempted to just reply, “Fun”.
