Mash Trailer – Bean The Ultimate Disaster Movie

If you have a slow connection or an iPhone, then clicking this blue bit of text here will make it work better.

This video is a recent Media assignment in which we had to take a movie of our choice and create a trailer out of it that takes on a completely different genre. This is commonly called a Mash Trailer.
In my case, I chose the famous and slightly-ridiculous comedy, ‘Bean – The Ultimate Disaster Movie’ (the one where he sneezes on a painting) and mashed it into a trailer for an all out action film.

I’ve tried to model his character on James Bond, labeling him as a sly, sexy thief living on the edge. To emulate this the trailer includes chase scenes, guns, and of course the traditional car chase and sex scene. This was incredibly hard to do. Mr bean rarely shows a serious face and never says a thing in a voice that can be deemed as normal. Any sign of a dopey face would ruin the whole atmosphere of the piece.
Because of this, a lot of editing had to be done to make him look sexy in the poster you see above. You’ll notice smoother skin, blue eyes, a thinner leaner face and an expression which doesn’t look like the original.

The song is from the start of ‘James Bond – Quantum of Solace’ and is called ‘Time to Get Out’ by David Arnold. It’s certainly an integral part to the piece and would have been impossible without it.
All of the footage can be found in the original film, only in the original they mean something completely different.

Enjoy
