People of Match-Cut, I'm working on a sci-fi montage.

[Dead & Messed Up]

It's incredibly loose right now, and I'm still working out the broad things I want to hit. As of now, I have plenty of modern-day Anglophilic inclusions. So here's where I ask if you can think of some foreign and/or classic cinema, that would be fun to include.

Along those lines, I already have

2001
Akira
Frankenstein
The Host
The Thing From Another World
A Trip to the Moon
X - the Man with the X-Ray Eyes

I have some ideas: La Jetee, Metropolis, Godzilla, Alphaville, Ghost in the Machine, Fantastic Planet, and others.

Got inspired by Qrazy's awesome train-tracks montage a couple months back.

Suggestions so far:


The City of Lost Children
Forbidden Planet
Metropolis '01
Paprika
Solaris
Stalker

[Dukefrukem]

Needs more Solyaris, Avatar, Moon and maybe some Iron Man sequences? Like;

edit: I should probably read more carefully. Sorry I'll think of something you actually asked for. Tarkovskiy's Solyaris at least still qualifies.

[amberlita]

My favorite foreign sci-fi film is City of Lost Children. Also, I presume there will be some Bladerunner in the montage?

Does anyone have a link to this? I must have missed it.

Chugga chugga.

I've only seen bits and pieces of it but the Japanese animated Metropolis looks promising. Forbidden Planet.

[Dukefrukem]

Stalker!

[Spinal]

Paprika

[Rowland]

Starcrash.

[Dead & Messed Up]

Starcrash is desperately in need of a critical re-appraisal. I can imagine online scribes lining up to proclaim it a lost classic. "Starcrash admirably (laser) guns for the same heartfelt simplicity of Buck Rodgers, and its lo-fi do-it-yourself settings match the spirit of those trendsetters, unlike the gluttonous, cynical Star Wars pictures."

[Qrazy]

Here's the jailbreak one as well for those who missed that!

Here's a more extensive thread/list.

The jailbreak one is phenomenal. Music works so well with the visuals.

[Fezzik]

I don't know what kind of stuff you're looking for, but the first two that came to mind were:

Wall-E (specifically the sequence with him alone, on Earth)
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (the dream sequence where his memory starts to fall apart)

Wall-E (specifically the sequence with him alone, on Earth)
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (the dream sequence where his memory starts to fall apart)

I'm looking for all kinds of stuff - I want to basically take one or two images, max, from every sci-fi film I think is montage-worthy, and then play with the footage.

Good call on Wall-E and Eternal! Have officially integrated lonely Wall-E into the mix.

[Dead & Messed Up]

Also, I facepalmed the other day and realized I could hit up the library. Huge help.

[bac0n]

Ghost in the Shell deserves inclusion.

Did you check the thread I linked you? There's well over a hundred titles there.

Check it out.

I'm actually trying something very different. And I kinda wanted to avoid this type of thing, which skews heavily towards the past ten years and favors some pretty crappy movies. This screams, "I'm a twenty-year-old who's okay at editing and stopped when I found enough trailer downloads online." I mean, seriously, Terminator Salvation?

I've been having a lot of fun finding unexpected links between movies, creating little thematic suites, and threading a loose sense of narrative through it all. You won't see this guy try to visually link The Rocky Horror Picture Show to A Clockwork Orange to X - the Man With the X-Ray Eyes to From Beyond. But I did. Cause I rule.

Yeah, that one is okay, but with a lot of these montages, it doesn't strike me that there's much of a relationship between any given piece of footage they link together. They are just using hyper editing to keep things flowing forward.

Which is not to diminish the amount of work they must have put into that, kudos for that at least.

"FARD".

From 2010. View it fullscreen.

Worth watching regardless of your project. Heard awhile back there's a feature in the works.

[D_Davis]

Can I compose a piece of music for your montage?

[Dead & Messed Up]

I already designed it to fit a specific song - it was actually that song that got me thinking about the whole thing. But thanks very much for the offer!

:pritch:

[Russ]

REMIX!!!

[Dead & Messed Up]

If Davis were willing to dub-step Bing Crosby, I might amend my approach.

Nope! :D ;)

[Neclord]

Any progress?

[Dead & Messed Up]

Any progress?

Some. My Premiere is crashing constantly with all the different clips, so I had to break it up into three different projects, and I've had trouble finding the more esoteric movies, even with the library, but there has been progress.

[Qrazy]

Time consuming stuff, isn't it? :lol:

It's mostly just a matter of finding the remaining movies I want to use. I've exhausted my DVDs, my roomie's DVD's, most of HD Trailers, and most of the public library.

[Dukefrukem]

oh my!

[Yxklyx]

Did you want any levity in this? Like:

Awesome work man. I love these videos.

I noticed:

1. No use of I Am Legend in the deserted street section
2. No use of Trinity and Neo in the kissing section

[dreamdead]

Very nice, D&MU! This makes me want to rewatch The Fly, Gattaca, and so many others.

[amberlita]

Love that deserted wasteland section leading into the romantic scenes. Perfectly fits with that portion of the Jupiter piece. Love the whole thing, but especially that part. And the musical break into the city skylines.

Really fantastic. I'll share it around where I can.

Thanks!

And, yes, that's true, but look at everything I did have. Look at all dem clips.

[Dukefrukem]

I'm just busting you. Those two scenes would have worked well in your compilation though.

What are the movies from 7:03 and 7:05. I've seen them before. Don't remember....

Same one: Serenity. There's a full shotlist in the YT description.

[Dukefrukem]

Ah ha! I need to re-watch. It's been too long.
