P2 - the horror!

I bet you expected to expected to read a story of how P2 ate our footage! Nope, sorry. Instead, a horror trailer gift for you guys here on DVXuser.

The only thing more terrifying than recording to tape... is realizing that you're not.

Because we are geniuses, we decided to parody the trailer to one of the biggest flops in movie history! So, on the off chance that you didn't see it, you can check out the original trailer here. See if you can spot some of the sneaky trailer tricks they use in the real deal!

Special thanks to our special friends Kristen, Harrison (HVX puppeteer), and Mike!

Just to be clear, we actually love P2 and tapeless technologies… in fact about 2/3 of this piece was shot on a JVC HD110, which is a very fine camera, but it’s so easy to forget what a pain recording and capturing with tape is once you’ve stopped doing it for a while!
 
I dont know whats better:

HVX sipping wine or HVX with a butcher knife in the mic mount...

sipping wine..... knife in mic mount.... I pulled a muscle laughing at
this trailer..... inspires me to rip off, er' um ...make one of my own.
...that thing is SICK...
 
All you have to do is start your own company and get used to a life of making less money than you ever imagined possible!

Im right there with you Doug...livin the dream.


Somehow I thought that living the dream would be more lucrative.
Nice trailer.
"It records straight to the card!"

Yeah, Luis, it's pretty tough. We've been at it for 3 years now. It's not just a steady climb, there's a lot of ups and downs. But I'd have a real hard time going back to someone else's 9-5. I may not get paid a fair wage half the time, but at least I get to do things I care about.
 
Oh man. The camera clunking around behind her while she's running would have been priceless!

Very well done man.
The wine gag cracked me up.
 
That was brilliant. So funny...

And it parodies the P2 original so well...

Love it when the viewfinder it turning towards her...

Brilliant!
