"Les Miserables" [Non/Disney Style] Trailer

I know it's been a while since I've uploaded a video. But I've been so busy with work and school that it's just been so hard to find time to work on video's ... and I have so many video's that have been on hold for months close to a year. It's sad.

But I finally found time to squeeze in an easy video to hand out to you guys. A trailer Cover! YAY! This is my second attempt on making a trailer cover. You guys seemed to love my version of Phantom of the Opera, so here's a new one. Hope I gave it justice!

Characters:
::~Jean Valjean:: Out of all the characters from all the movies I have saved up on my hard drive, Sinbad by far was the best character choice for Jean. Sinbad has that charismatic charm and he has lots of emotional scenes in most of the movie which was perfect!

::~Fatine:: Beautiful Belle of course had to be Fatine. Not only because I love using her in all my video's and because she's my favorite, but because she's is just perfect character for almost any video. I masked out half of belle's hair to make it look like her hair was short. I tried to make it look shorter but it looked really weird so I ended up just masking out half of her hair... pretty much up to her bow.

::~Javert:: I know some editors have used Frollo as Javert, and at first I thought "oh ok makes sense! They are both pretty a like." but when I started working on it and using him as the part, I just didn't really feel he fit the part. It didn't convince me watching the video completed. So I choose Phoebus. Who is a much better choice! He looks almost similar to Russell! He has more facial expressions I can work with and was around good backgrounds that resembled Russell Crow in the trailer. I think Phoebus was the perfect choice for Javert.

::~Young/ Older Cosette: I chose Odette as Cosette, it's pretty much self explanatory, they look exactly a like. And have the same personality. And I choose alice because there are some scenes where she has this innocent look to her. She's not, she's mischievous. But I think I did a pretty good job making her seem innocent... I hope.

::~Marius:: Dimitri as Marius because he has that same charm Marius has. Plus he's cute. Personally I think Dimitri is cuter than the actor. I was going to choose Proteus since he has more clips I could use and he's gorgeous but Dimitri seemed to fit the part a bit more. Proteus has more of an older mature man than Dimitri. Marius is young. So Dimitri won the part. I only used two scenes of him so it wasn't much of a hard decision.

::~Eponine:: Kayley as Eponine was just perfect even for one scene. The Hunchback of Notre Dame raining scene really helped me with her being already soaked from the lake scene.
