My friends, Ron and Anna, are getting married in October. Ron is a huge fan of the Matrix movies, so he wanted to redo The Matrix trailer with Anna and him playing Trinity and Neo with dialogue changed to fit the theme of marriage. They are planning to show the trailer during their reception. The script was already written, but they needed a director to visually bring their idea to life. They approached me to do that task. They also asked me to play Morpheus.
I have written and directed many short animated piece of my own in the past. Although my animation projects were not simple, directing live action is a different type of beast. I was up for the challenge though and after we finished shooting, I felt real confident that my first time directing live actors was a success.
Now that production has wrapped, the next test will be in post production. I have to do a excellent editing job to make sure the shots captured are utilized to tell the story Ron and Anna want to get across in less that two and a half minutes. Will the final result be all that I hope it will be? I truly believe so.
I will send a follow up post once I finish editing the trailer. For now, you can view the photos that were taken during the shoot below.
Enjoy! |
