• Handful of Dust: Greatest Deaths in Film Montage

[IMG]http://i420.photobucket.com/albums/pp290/Munchiselleh/montagepic2.jpg[/IMG] So for the last month I've been working very hard on a montage of the greatest deaths in film. I'm a film fanatic and future film student and I was very ambitious in developing my original concept. After editing it for a few weeks, I realized that it was impossible to cram everything I wanted into one montage. Instead of making one montage to create my list, I'm going to make a few. But don't view this as a "part one" to anything; it is one whole work that I put a tremendous amount of effort into and I hope that it shows. So please, if you would, take a few minutes out of your day to watch this and tell me how I did. I would really, really appreciate it. Make sure to watch it in 720p!

You really had my attention about half way through, I thought it was great! Then I saw vader. I don't know, it just really didn't fit to me. Having really well put together clips from serious dramatic films... Then vader.
Dude, Vader was awesome.

He's a massively iconic character hailing from one of the greatest series of all times and his death is highly memorable for me. I spent an incredible amount of time and effort trying to make him seem human (drawing that parallel with him and his mom and him and luke) and having those flashbacks. I think he's a great character. [editline]29th July 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=Flameliker;31399725]Dude, Vader was awesome.[/QUOTE] thanks!
That was great, man. Half the movies on that montage I've never seen, but you still managed to make the characters in them real to me, and to give their deaths the same kind of life the film-makers must have, and in only a few short minutes to boot.

In exchange for not having a tremendous amount of movies involved, I was able to flesh out the characters a lot more and show all of the footage that I really wanted to show in the way that I wanted to show it. I'm very glad that you were able to connect to the characters without having seen the movies...I tried very hard to achieve that. And then if you [I]have[/I] seen them it's even more powerful. That's the idea, at least.
