Queen - Live Killers Film - QueenChat Project

It's a good idea, ...but it's much more complicated than you think)

I fell asleep after the first minute, probably because this movie needs a good script

OK, since you don't care about continuity etc. I have a few editing ideas
- watching a long uninterrupted take of people walking from one part of a corridor to another one while music plays gets boring very quickly. Try intercutting it with other footage, and/or instead of album music use some audio from some interview(s) - just like in all post-2011 documentaries
- audio of It's Late - hard cut to audio from rehearsal - hard cut to silence - hard cut to audio from rehearsal - hard cut to the rest of It's Late - this combination makes it very confusing for the human brain to process.
- if you want to use background music try to avoid the album versions. Not only is it a risk on youtube, it also creates a weird feeling when the sung lyrics doesn't match the visuals. I recommend some instrumental versions or alternate takes or something like that, or maybe even things like your own piano cover ...
- if you want to introduce each band member with an on-screen text, good, but can you put the introductions closer together?
- you don't have to show the full interview at once. I think inter-cutting segments of an interview with shots of building the stage (for example) would make it more interesting (in my humble opinion)

Anyway looking forward to the final product.

Thanks for the ideas! I think these would help out to, now that I am looking at it again

Hey guys! So I bet a few of you have seen the little thread I made in the YouTube threads, about a potential 'Live Killers film'. Some have even given me some advice to help out this little project (which I thank them for), but one thing that really stood out was from a person who said 'Maybe this would be better as a Forum project?'

Which is why I'm making this new thread, for some hope that at least a few people would like to contribute to this project (in ways other than criticism), so if you'd like to be part of this, please tell me what you want to do and show me some of your other stuff, just to make sure you're fit for it

Thanks in advance for any new helpers! (Working on the film by myself would've taken eons and it still probably wouldn't be that good)

I apologize, but thank you for combining them

Just a suggestion, but try to pay attention to the audio levels. It jumps from very loud music to very quiet talking.

That'd be cool! Also, glad to know you're on the forum

Holy mother of pearl! Amazing job!

I was thinking of a more Live Killers-like font for the texts.

God damn. That teaser looks great. Can't hardly wait for the finished product. This is another fine example of why this Queen chat group is the best there is. And since Queen Productions won't give us anything worthwhile we have to do it ourselves right?

Couldn't agree more Bob!

I made a poster for the film. It's a bit incomplete because I need few opinions before proceeding to finish it. (Partly inspired by an original design made by Velizar few weeks back)

My video will be of the Live Killers album, with the bits that dont have film having pictures instead

What a fantastic thing; DoRo will never work again.
