Update: Winners of the Halloween/Horror contest can be seen
here. Sadly, I didn't place, but there's always next time. These guys, really all
of us, did fantastic work. The whole community, on and off reddit, always
does.
I'm definitely taking a break from videos after this. I need to get back to basics.
At the end of my
Birds of Prey (and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn) review, I said there was "a depth given to Harley Quinn that hasn't been seen since her beginnings
on Batman The Animated Series." What made me think of that was her abuse by The Joker and the fear that a
breakup in this movie would lead her to replacing him with Roman Sionis.
It's definitely a viable option for the character and film, and the
filmmakers demonstrate that it could literally be triggered by a slap. At
least, that's where my mind immediately went in the theatre. Please read more for a bit more info
on how this was cut together and a "Thank You" section.
Thanks, once again, to the
FanTrailer
community, I got to explore that for their Halloween/Horror contest. And
thanks to the Blender community on reddit and
their contests, 3d models I made of
Harley's weapons were thrown in for good measure. Animation was added just for this though.
If you're curious about Blender or 3d art, please leave a comment or message
if you'd like help getting started. Same goes with editing, of course,
especially since Blender is one of many free editors out there...although
this was done with Final Cut Pro.
Speaking of the theatre, I'm so glad this was one of the last
ones I got to see before all hell broke loose. If Hollywood immediately halted
all production and releases in March, this would probably be in the Top 5 of
2020.
While it worked for me, the movie and actual marketing for it were both a bit
all over the place. So, besides creating this "romantic" abusive relationship
between Harley and Roman, I also wanted to try to re-focus everything a bit.
The diamond weirdly wasn't mentioned in the official trailers, so it became a
trailer plot point, and this largely replaced the focus on The Birds of Prey.
That's why the title change happened, too. Probably not the right move for WB
to make, but that's why this community exists, to play with fun ideas.
Joining in for the fun this time are Harrison and, once again, TheMarvelStark. Harrison made sure the music, which I really just put down and didn't edit
to this time (thank goodness) had a huge impact on the overall video. Based on
his work, incorporating music well appears to be his specialty. TheMarvelStark
gave me a full workup of technical improvements and suggestions. They're both
great editors, please check out their channels!
This video, and others are collected, on-site, here.
