The following teaser trailer was developed from the footage we shot in 2012 for the short film version of Fight 4 Your Life. Our goal with this teaser was to demonstrate to the best of our abilities at the time the style and color schemes we were going to go for in developing the Fight 4 Your Life feature length film. It’s important to note that the short was not shot with much of the color schemes, style, visual FX and more depicted in this trailer in mind. So, it was a challenge to tweak things to a respectable level for what we wanted.
With that said, we were also aiming for this teaser to gather enough interest to gain the support of our local filmmaking community. This was very important in the casting and development process, and more, because it allowed potential cast and crew to see we had a vision, and that we were not simply talking about it. The teaser also showed we had already put in a lot of work on this project, further illustrating our seriousness about it coming to fruition.
The short film version of F4YL has only been seen by a select few people involved in that production. We’ve held off showing it to people because it would reveal too much story line of the feature, which shares the same basic structure, even if immensely more detailed and added to. Truly, they are two different films with strong likenesses, if that makes sense. But we want that to be seen later, not now!
The actual finished version of the short has been seen by even fewer eyes since the version showed to most people was a rough cut. Director/editor Bryan Bachar was already in heavy with the feature version of F4YL when he completed tying things up with the short. So, there you go.
Plan to definitely see the short version of F4YL in the future though, likely on the DVD under special features when everything is said and done! Then viewers can compare and contrast to all their hearts’ desire. Anyway, here’s the teaser! Can you see the similarities between it’s style, color schemes and more and those of the current feature version teaser trailer? Check the feature “Intro” teaser trailer HERE.
