With this project I conceptualized a video that captured the past trials of Van Helsing in his life-long journey to destroy Count Dracula.
As I scoured scenes of Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing, the edit changed into something different as I started to wonder: What if Van Helsing actually carried some guilt in his heart for all the times he destroyed Dracula, and now, as an old man, actually missed him. What if Van Helsing and Dracula were actually friends in the past? That is, until Van Helsing learned of his friend's actual identity as Dracula.
The edit actually includes quite a few scenes from various Hammer and Amicus films (not all Dracula films) Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee starred in. I was able to edit these scenes in a way to create a sort of lifetime of memories for Van Helsing.
On the technical end, I expanded some of the knowledge I gained on my NORRIS ON THE EDGE edit including masking techniques and overlapping audio of samples/dialogue to give the viewer the experience of being inside Van Helsing's mind.
