'Mad Max: Fury Road' Retaliate Trailer | Vendor: Buddha Jones
There’s been much discussion among editor friends about whether anyone with footage as jaw-droppingly stunning as what Fury Road provided could have cut together an awesome trailer. While I agree there was a goldmine of shots, every one of the trailers is unquestionably elevated by great editorial, and conversely a really mediocre trailer from the same movie was entirely possible.
Of the 4 released, this is perhaps the most shaped by conventional trailer devices. First there’s the in-scene cold open, then a kind of female vocal call back to the original Comic-Con trailer song, which segues into a cool little music box pod, before launching into a standard stock cue, that takes us to the action score used in the 3rd trailer. That sounds a bit exhausting but it all flows smoothly. Considering this piece had the burden of essentially repurposing all the footage hogged up by the first three trailers, it still packs quite a punch. And man do I love that sound design at 2:09.
