BUY
TERMINATOR 2 DVD
|
 I
started & completed this project in just one, long night. After
doing the "SLEEPY HOLLOW" teaser, I felt I just had to use my OTHER favorite
track from the "DEFENDERS OF THE FAITH" album . . . . "THE SENTINEL".
The immediate thought of doing a T2 trailer was there. Though, a
slightly unique approach. I was to include a quick recap of the original
film to build up the T-800 as the force of evil, and then, reveal him in
T2 with the line "Come with me if you want to live." Nice dramatic
build up, and I had to implement the use of my old Adobe Premiere 5.1 to
create the fade in / dissolve effect for that shot.
Also, in order to match the 1.85:1 widescreen aspect ratio
of "THE TERMINATOR", I could only use clips from the T2 trailers (found
on "THE ULTIMATE EDITION" DVD) because T2 was filmed in 2.35:1 aspect ratio
(my personal favorite, me & John Carpenter).
Now, I don't have the soundtrack for the original "TERMINATOR"
(not for a lack of trying, mind you), and so, I simply captured the opening
title sequence for the original film, and then extracted the audio from
it. And thus, the appearance of the original "TERMINATOR THEME" in
this trailer. The T2 soundtrack I do have, and so, no problems there.
The "DEFENDERS OF THE FAITH" album has GOT to be my favorite
from Judas Priest. Lots of awesome, amazing songs there, but the
original "TERMINATOR" is STILL my favorite of the series. But this
pairing was just too good for me to pass up, and I think you'll agree. |
