One of the latest trends for short film makers is video games movie trailers. Take a classic video game, apply it to real life, film it and throw it on youtube. It's genius, and little to no creativity is involved since the story is already written for you. Most of these (about 90%) really suck. But every once in awhile someone with more than just a camera and free time comes along and puts together a truly magnificent piece of hilarity.
It's easy to pretend you lived and breathed Super Mario Bros. and grab your fancy camera and a few of your douchebag friends and go film your version of Mario Kart. Horrible acting and all. This doesn't impress me. What DOES impress me is when a real filmmaker, with more than just a cheap idea, applies their trade to this topic. The outcome is below....
If any of you remember Paperboy on Nintendo then this will have you shitting your pants. The Grim Reaper, breakdancing kid, ginger skateboarder, RC car, old lady with a frying pan; ahh the memories. Go finish that weekly paper route kid!
