Notes on this edit- This was a trailer I created for 1977's "Sorcerer". Many people refer to this film as 'the film that opened with Star Wars'. On top of that was its misleading title- "Sorcerer". While it couldn't be farther from the sci-fi genre, it's a heavy duty film made by a strong pedigree incorporating tight drama and thriller genres, while maintaining character. The film starts out similar to William Friedkin's own "Exorcist": foreign lands (plural in this case) with subtitled dialogue for the first 10 minutes. One was a star audiences were familiar with (Roy Schieder), but the other 3 leads were mainly unknowns in the USA (Bruno Cremer, Francisco Rabal, Amidou). And similar to the aforementioned title, Friedkin took a gamble, asking the audience to trust him as we follow all four of these character's prologues (one after another), and all shot in different parts of the world. And while first viewings immediately bring a who-what-where-why, the payoff is just as rich as Exorcist's Iraq opener was upon repeated viewings. The hardest sale of this film is the premise: four desperate strangers with a common goal of getting two trucks from here to there, each loaded with sensitive TNT that the slightest bump will blow it's transport and inhabitants to kingdom come. It's the cinematic equivalent of watching someone walk across a stage with a spoonful of water but cannot allow a droplet to fall. And Friedkin makes this thrilling as all hell. The film never at any point flat out states its purpose, or presents an easy line to include in the trailer (we need to go from A to B) What is said is under muffled dialogue, loud backgrounds attributed to actual locations and people. The first time I viewed I couldn't even understand why they needed to transport dynamite to an oil field that had been shown exploding ten minutes earlier- and upon research it was to explode the explosion. So I wanted to set up the story as best I could, with the best dialogue I could garner. If I could avoid a written narrative, all the better. The tagline that does run with the trailer ("The only wages worth..." et.) are culled from the original advertising materials. Is it modernized? To an extent that the cuts are quicker than they would be otherwise from the period. But I didn't want to keep it completely out of its era so I kept the studio logo in place and added a tag about "special engagement" playing soon at this theater. However the biggest update I added was a change in the title- gone was "Sorcerer", hello "Wages of Fear". It's a title that I feel is apt for the thrill ride Friedkin gives us, and more importantly, it's a title you can read on character's faces.

Film I edited and colored for Kyle Jakub & Christa Rose for the Z-fest Film Festival

Coloring job I did for Shawn Parks ' films

One-off video for Mark Hulsey I did for his YouTube channel (edit/titles/color/effects)

Effort involved: Sound editing (took the most time by far) - J-cuts - enhancements - songs chopped up as needed (ex: paste beginning section to end) Fine frame cutting (for max comic effect & length) Color correction on unfinished scenes to match rest of the picture Few instances of reformatting, or zoom’n’crop Titles (all titles were made except ‘This Special Preview…’) - Worn-down effect so it looked like something from 1980 - final title was something you might see at the end of a trailer around that time period (including font!) Various dissolves One instance of morph cut Glow effect for title Out of my hands the title hard burned in at :13; needed to keep the shot but couldn’t mask out title Similarly some background music was hard burned into a couple of sound clips out of original order; I tried to smooth out best I could

A project I did (edit/titles/color) surrounding the good work First Quality corp. does with the Cradles 2 Crayons charity.

The kind folks at CLEVER (www.clevermn.com) were good enough to give me a shot at editing one of their sizzle reels. I was given lots of their (impeccably shot footage, ranging from Target to Regis to Hennepin County Healthcare. The cool music was supplied by them as well. My job was to choose the right imagery and cut it to the music. I think I was reasonably successful. It was a lot of fun. Special Thanks to Bill Kruse and Emily Peterson Boone for this opportunity.
