Cutting a trailer is an art. A trailer is the most important part of a film’s publicity road map as it gives a glimpse of what a film contains. It is the thing that can bring audiences closer to a film.
That is why, Hollywood and game Studios around the world sometimes invest hundreds of thousands of dollars on trailers. When it comes to Indian films, the situation is similar. We have dedicated trailer specialists who don’t take on full fledged editing roles. Similarly, very few full time editors take on trailer making jobs.
Currently , there is a dearth of good trailer specialists in Tollywood. There were a few talented individuals like Junaid, Naveen and SR Sekhar to name a few. But all of them have moved on to full time editing jobs and have left the trailer making business. Right now, Bhaskar and Vijay are the only two talented individuals who are managing stuff. But an entire industry cannot rely on just two professionals.
The situation is different in Tamil Nadu, where there are a number of trailer specialists. If you have seen the latest trailer of “Theri”,starring Vijay, you will see how good they are.
In case you are looking for a break in Tollywood, perhaps you should explore this option.
