"Back to the Super, Part IV" - A Back To The Future parody
3 years ago
I made this Back to the Future parody video in 1992, when I was 13. I directed, wrote and edited along with my friend Steve Roblin, who plays Doc Brown. Marty McFly is played by Jarrod Purvis. I make an appearance in the supermarket scene.
It was shot in S-VHS, with really crappy non-hifi audio. We edited the old-fashioned way: using two "flying erase head" decks and a mixing board with edit sync and jog shuttles. We did one edit generation to get the video cut right, then ran it through another dub to add music and sound effects in real time. What a pain editing was back then. This dubbing caused the quality to really suffer, especially the audio, so I apologize for the buzzing on the dialogue track. I did the graphics in CorelDraw and literally videoed my computer screen using a freeze-frame feature that my camera had, to avoid the flicker. We also made our own dolly out of chair casters, plywood and pipe fasteners.
I recently re-cut the Back to the Future cut scenes in the opening sequence, because the original ones looked really degraded. I also used Windows Movie Maker to tweak some audio levels that have been bugging me all these years.
Hope you enjoy. If you're a Back to the Future buff you might catch all kinds of references.
