If you ever wondered how important video and film editing is, this trailer will show you exactly how a bin full of innocuous footage can be skillfully turned into a frightening and powerful sequence. Just add talent.

Wow....just wow!
That reminds me of one I saw about The Shining, they edited it up and made it seem like a film about a man falling in love and trying to get his writing skills back. It too was a POWERFUL little trailer. I wish I still had the link

VladX you are the man!
Heeeereee's Mary! Love it! Great.
yeah i've been seeing more and more of these on youtube. they call them recuts ... just type in the movie title and "recut" to see if they made one, i know forest gump has one too
oh that is awesome!!! LOL
I love it when it says "the fog rolls in..." and then marry poppins fly's down!
what really takes it to the next level is the skillful use of audio to shape the feel of the clip...which one can often overlook. nicely done.
I read an article in Newsweek recently about how the new Broadway show was dubbed "Scary Poppins"

Bippity Boppity...BOO!
Well done! I had to call the wife in to see it.
Outstanding.
Practically perfect in every way.
This is impressive. Anyone have any other examples?
Anybody seen one of the other trailers that took film from Back to the Future or Saved By the Bell and made a "Brokeback to the Future" parody?
Editing video to make it funny is MUCH easier than editing it together to make it scary/dramatic. Especially without using cheesy loud sound effects (the kind that make you jump out of your seat even if nothing scary is happening on screen). Thanks for sharing this Gizmodo~!
Ditto on the "Wow"! These were really well done. Now I want to go The Shining all over again.
...and that's the real problem, isn't it?
I'm looking at YOU Michael Bay!
Although I had been aware from a young age that movie/tv scenes were not shot in sequence, it never REALLY hit me about how important the editing process was until I watched the screening of the Final project for the Editing class at U.C.L.A. in the early 70s. Everyone was given the same footage of a gunfight scene from Gunsmoke, but the order the shots were pieced together created TOTALLY different stories (e.g it would change your perception of who was the good guy based on which of them preceded the shot of the pretty femme reacting in concern.)

This is pretty good one done on the movie "Big".
