Simply brilliant (hat tip: Harry)
In case you are wondering how it was done, Robert Blankenheim, the creator, explains:
I am the creator of the fake trailer Titanic: Two the Surface that you may have seen on You Tube a few years ago.
I have just completed a new fake trailer for the sequel to E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial. I’ve been working on it for a while and like Titanic, it took endless hours of sifting through movies and trying to paste a story together from clips that I found. I can’t tell you exactly how many movies I researched (hundreds), but I can tell you that I ended up using clips from 33 movies along with 11 shots that I had to shoot myself in order to create the trailer. Out of the 115 shots in the trailer, there are 80 effects shots ranging from simple (adding ships to the background) to difficult (animating a talking ET).I plan on posting a few videos detailing how some of the shots were created in the near future. In the meantime, if you have any questions about either of the trailers, feel free to e-mail me. ([email protected])
