This is just an old “infographic” from The Onion that I came across by accident while looking for something else. But I couldn’t get my eyes off the image, which pretty much says it all.

Aforementioned Hitchcock/Jimmy Stewart trailer

Friday, May 18th, 2007 • Horrorthon Posts

Yesterday, in the trailer discussion, I mentioned an old Hitchcock/Jimmy Stewart trailer as representing the absolute worst of all pre-modern movie trailer conventions.

I went back and looked, and it’s not Rope; it’s The Man Who Knew Too Much (a far worse film; this is the one Hitchcock made twice, and didn’t quite get right either time). Anyway I posted it here so jpx and everyone can see it. Jpx, I know you’re AWOL but hopefully you’ll see this.

New 2001: A Space Odyssey trailer!

Hey guys, get a load of my trailer for 2001: A Space Odyssey!

(Trailer, page etc. are 100% scratchbuilt. Octopunk’s friend Adam first suggested “making a movie trailer” to add to my portfolio, and a guy I talked to at R/Greenberg associates also mentioned this concept when I talked about my interest in the design of movie title sequences. I started with just the storebought 2001 DVD, and obeyed all the rules, like the one that says they can’t be longer than two and a half minutes…mine is exactly that long and not a frame more or less. Anyway, let me know what you think. Thanks, fellows!)
