VFX010 questions

[Legolas S.M.]

Hi everybody,
I would like to participate to VFX010 but I have never seen the Lion king before :stupid:
Are we required to build the teaser trailer using video from the Lion King DVD? If that is the case then I probably need to buy the DVD first :D
Do I have to make something similar to a TV commercial, a music video with scenes from the DVD or a movie trailer?
Any additional info/example will be greatly appreciated.

NOT SEEN THE LION KING ... !!! :p ...its all good ...

A teaser is different from a full on trailer in that, its more used for promotional sales and the like...its not really an intro into the movie as such...its more to wet a potential buyers appetite :)

This challenge is a 10 second teaser for the sale of the DVD ...

As for using footage from the DVD, it totally not neccesary, you can google lots of images and there are quite a few Lion King 'fan sites' out there ...but trust me, your DVD collection will only benefit from owning the Lion King ;) ... its a timeless animation...Disney at its finest! But yes, if you do buy it, using scenes from the DVD will be 'handy' for this new learning experience :D

Cheers, hope that clears it up a bit for you ;)
