Watch: Homemade Shot for Shot Remake of The ROGUE ONE Trailer
The team at Cinefix is back with a new shot-for-shot remake video, and this time they've turned their attention to the trailer for Gareth Edwards' upcoming Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. There's something about the homegrown feel of these videos that really resonates with me and reminds me of the best parts of Be Kind Rewind (the movie that kicked off the "sweding" trend). I'm always impressed with what they're able to pull together with such limited resources (like that great K-2SO), and it just goes to show that right now is a great time for anyone who has a camera phone and some simple editing software to be able to create cool stuff whenever they want.
It's also fitting that this video is celebrating a Star Wars movie, since the original Star Wars is basically ground zero for today's filmmakers having the "a-ha" moment that they wanted to get in the movie business, with many of them making home videos with production values similar to this one in their backyards and kicking off a love of making movies that would last a lifetime.
Rogue One hits theaters on December 16, 2016.
