Your very own treehouse

October 27, 2006 2:14 PM

Make your own Simpsons Treehouse of Horror Trailer. Sure, its an ad for the Simpsons, but with a neat interface and clips like Homer chanting "must eat, then poop," there is Friday Fun to be had. Can you put together something fun for the hivemind? [To share a video, you can email a persistant link to yourself, and then post that link in the thread]

I tried to emulate the usual FOX promo style in which 30 seconds go by that leave you totally confused/disinterested in the end.

I would just like to take this opportunity, and inadvertently derail this thread, by saying this is my four thousandth reply to a MetaFilter post. I know that many have posted more than me. They're not me. Yay me. Go me. 4000! I so rock.

We now return you to our regularly scheduled blueness.

I do this stuff for a living, and that interface just annoyed me.

It's impossible to preview a trim, and once you've trimmed you can't change it, you have to delete the clip and do it again. Gah!

I spent a while trying to get it right, then I accidentally hit the 'Clear' button, and now I can't be bothered starting again.

Also to be a real 'horror' it needs to offer that dip to black to coincide with the big beats in the sound, and a woosh or screech noise to go with it.

I am such a genius. I'll remember to thank all you little people when I'm collecting my award.
