I haven't made a trailer edit in quite some time. I've done edits for the Matrix films & video game, Bad Boys II, and some other random unfinished projects (The 5th Element)... but the best edit I've done, by far, was for Desperado.
I made this back in August of 2003... it's not as perfect as I'd like it to be (there's some abrupt audio cuts), but not bad enough to go back and redo it. I made this using Adobe Premiere 6.5 and the DVD for the film. I think it's worlds better than the official trailer, and with a little smoothing out could even work as a real one.
I'd love to get your feedback, since you guys see trailers all the time in your profession (I do too, but that's just because I'm a trailer junkie). I'm hoping to get inspired again sometime soon to put together another good trailer... it's really tough for me to force something like this, which is why I'm not sure if I could ever turn it into a profession, but you never know!
Looking forward to your thoughts. (Oh, and the email address on the opening card is totally outdated haha)

The stingers can be found on EVERY horror movie trailer these days. You have the entire trailer as normal, complete with stupid flashes to black, negative switches, flashes to white, overused sound effects, etc. Then at the end it gives the title and you think it's over...but no, they have to SCARE YOU with that last stupid 1/2 second clip of the evil bad guy while they play a shriek loudly through the soundtrack.
It's retarded, and I even see it on comedy trailers these days where they think they can get that last laugh. LAME!
Anyone remember back in the mid 90s when every Fox trailer started off with some clips and then they realized "oops, we forgot to put the Fox logo up, let's throw that in real quick and then get back to the trailer". Needless to say that style did not flow well at theaters that cut off green bands. That little bit started with the trailer for Speed.
