Working on Trailer for “Charise: A Portrait…”
Well I’ve started work on the first trailer for “Charise: A Portrait of an African American with Albinism” and all I can say is “WOW”. There is just so much to cover. It will be interesting to see the final product of both films for general audiences. I imagine I will have to cut a lot of valuable information out but they will still be great films.
I originally planned to do only one trailer for the documentary on Albinism but there is really two parts to it; the medical aspect and the social aspect. So when I collected clips for the one trailer, I had no choice but to make two instead of one, if I wanted to end up with something that is actually trailer length and not a full hour or so documentary. :)
This trailer was also hard because of the subject and also being limited on B-roll clips as well. But so far I’m satisfied with what I have put together. After completing the first trailer, putting together this second one and working on it in Adobe After Effects has been much faster.
